over 400 Hawalians are housed In the
buildings on the land belonging TO A.

owned by the Queen Dowager. AZ the
request OF Prince Cupid permission WIS

their services.
G. S. Desky came to the quarters
curly in the afternoon and has taken
charge of all the children. Rev. Alex
Macintosh, G. NJ. Hyde Sam. Woods
and Mr.. Abercrombie of Hilo and many
| young men volunteered to assist "
feeding the people there. As none OF
the Relief Society are allowed to min
gle with the quarantined people direct
| ly Mr.. Theodore Richards was sent TO
the camp and personally passes in the
| food under the direction of Mrt
Beckley.
BY 1880 last evening all the people
had been fed, their supper consisting
of poi and beef stew, and this being
the first meal they had eaten since
breakfast, they ravenously attacked the
food. The Metropolitan Meat market
supplied the camp during the after
noon with 1872 pounds of meat. and
orders have been given the same
company to supply like amount to-
day. Blankets were provided late in
| the afternoon under the direction of
| Mrs. Irene Brown, several dray loads
having been sent up from the wholesale
houses. There are several buildings in
course Of construction on the premises,
just rooted over and not entirely finish
ed. They are suitable for a quarantine
camp.
Prince Cupid Is also personally at
tending the wants of 100 Hawaiians
who are located on his property on
King street opposite Kawaiahao
church. They are using the house and
yard formerly occupied by John Wise,
and Prince Cupid has taken it upon
himself to keep the Hawaiians there
and provide them with every necessary.
He also ordered two barrels of poi,
which were left over after the supper
at the Queen Dowager place, to the Ka-
lihi Detention Camp, together with
some blankets. A large number of Ha-
waiians were sent out there early in
the Afternoon.
As soon as they had their evening
meal the Hawaiians became merry and
spent their time in playing their
guitars and singing.
lroquloS In Action.
The t. S. S. Iroquois had two lines
Of hose out and streams of sea water
were poured upon the Honolulu Iron
Works, and it is chiefly due to the as
distance given by the seamen that the
works were saved from destruction.
The Iroquois was delayed over an hour
and half by the harbor lines, but she
got to work at about o'clock. She is
capable of supplying six streams, but
owing to the shortage of hose, was
compelled to make shift with two lines
and her full strength was for n few
moments directed upon these. The re-
suit was disastrous. Three men were
directing the nozzle of one stream and
they were thrown about like rags un-
til three comrades hurried to their as
sistance These men managed to direct
the stream, but the force was too great
for the hose, and 1t burst. A new
length was put in and the pressure re-
duced at the pumps, but the force OF
water was even then sufficient to shake
the frame buildings to their founda-
tons.
NOTES OF THE FIRE.
AS far as could be ascertained there
vas not single life lost in the fire.
The City Mill, which the Board of
Health had ordered to be saved, was
entirely destroyed.
The Ellen had line of hose at work
near the lumber piles OF the City Mill
Co. and did good work
