NTH THE NATIONAL GUARD The BIG DRILL SHED CAMP
LOCAL MILITARY is AGAIN IN
CONTROL.
Regulars at Kawaiahao Relieved by a
Detail of Company G Battalion at
Kalihi-Chinatown

At IL o'clock noon yesterday the Ma
tional Guard relieved the twenty-five
regulars that had been on duty at Ka-
waiahao church since Saturday. Col
Cnel Jones will address a letter of
thanks to Colonel Mills for the valuable
assistance rendered. Fifteen members
of Company G, N. G. H., took the places
of the regulars. The watch is changed
every six hours.
Only eight military men are now on
guard in the Chinatown district. They
are stationed at street corners only
Since the full guard was Withdrawn in
spectors of the Board of Health have
had charge of the district. 1t was
thought safest, however, to have a few
men with bayonets at convenient
points. Regulations regarding the dis
trict are the same as prior to the fire.
No one is admitted into it without a
pass.
Three military men are on duty at
the drill she'd where are quartered a
considerable number of refugees from
Chinatown.
The entire first battalion, consisting
of Companies A, G and f, under Major
Zeigler, is now at the Kalihi detention
camp. The battalion marched to the
railway depot about 8 o'clock yesterday
afternoon where it took the quarantine
train for the camp. Berger's band led
the march to the railroad. Each COM
pany is to remain at the detention camT
two days when it will be relievd by an
other company of the second battalion
Thus in six days the first battalion
will be back in the tents on the Execu.
| tive building grounds and the second
battalion will be on duty at Kalihi.
The National Guard has had a parti
cularly hard time in the past four days

with most of the men. One first sergeant
was on duty fifty-six solid hours, which
| is an usual record. Today things have
settled down to a more normal status

'----A-
TWO ISLAND STEAMERS MAY BE
SENT.
The Mauna Loa as a Quarantine YES
sel--The Kinau Goes Into Service
Again.

Island steamers for the coast trade is
the latest plan for using the vessels
laid off as a result of the quarantine.
The Kinau and Claudine may both be
sent with loads of sugar to San Fran
cisco from outside island ports. They
could make the trip in about ten days,
and have both been kept in quarantine
at Honolulu ever since the outbreak of
plague. They would therefore have no
difficulty in discharging at the coast, it
is thought. The Wilder Company has
the matter under consideration now,
and if the plague situation does not
mend the two vessels will probably go.
The captains and other officers will be
glad to make the trip. The Kinau after
being laid up for about a week, leaves
tomorrow afternoon for Kahului. She
will take a load of Japanese from quar-
antire island.
The Mauna Loa is laid off and will be
used as a quarantine vessel, if it be-
comes necessary to keep her from act
stream and will serve as a hotel for
people who want to travel from Homo
lulu.
The Claudine has been delayed by
bad weather at various points along
her route. She has been expected for
some days, but up to about noon today
she had not ben sighted. The prevail
ing high winds compelled the Claudine
TO lay idle for hours at several different
points. The Lehua, which arrived this
morning from Molokai, had the same
experience.

GLEAN HEALIH RECORD.

Plague cases, o; suspicious cases, o;
plague Deaths 0.
Such is the splendid record of today
N heath circles. Physicians of the
Board have had nothing to do. Some
cases of illness We're reported by the
inspectors, but were all of the most
ordinary character and caused no
alarm whatever.
There is feeling around the Board
Of Health office today that the burning
of Chinatown on Saturday-whethcr
that event was an accident or the "act
of God" as some people put it-has set
tied the situation and that the plague
is at last, suddenly but effectively un-
der control. Some few cases in out
side districts are still expected, but
there is no denying the fact that the
Board of Health feels more confident
today than it has since the second out
break of plague on December 25.

MOTHER AND BABE.

Some pathetic incidents have follow
ed Saturdays flight of the refugees
from Chinatown. Many of them grow
out of the separation of families or Of
children from parents in the confusion
that the fire created.
In one case a babe in arms, little
Japanese, was carried by the father
from the burning home. At Kawaia-
lao church the husband and father
with the child were separated from the
wife and mother and were sent to Ka-
lihi while the mother was sent to the
Kerosene warehouse camp. The poor
infant, a child at the breast got no
nourishment for day and a half until
L. A. Thurston discovered the matter
and carried the infant to its mother.
Many children have become separa--
ed from their parents and the work of
reuniting families is still going on.

INCPENT RIOT At KAuHI KNAU FOR THE GOASTl
THE JAPs ARMED WITH CLUBS
ATTACK THE GUARD.
The Reserves Come Up on the Double
Quick and End the Trouble-More
Trouble Brewing.

There was an .nclpient riot at the Ka
lihi detention camp last night. Just
after 8 o'clock the sentries on duty at
The camp gave the warning to the re-
serves in the military camp "the Japs
are upon u.s." Instantly the whole
battalion was in motion under full
arms and in double time. In the dis
tance the Japs could be seen gathered
armed with clubs, pick handles car
penter's tools and like weapons and
bearing down on the sentries The SEN
tries stood. their ground, but some of
them were knocked down by the Japs
before aid could reach them. For a
few moments matters looked serious.
1t was feared that all the Japs would
escape. Some of them did succeed in
running the lines.
Guards were instantly doubled and
the lines held by these while detach-
ments were speedily sent to charge and
recapture those who had run the lines
The Japs were evidently surprised at
the military strength displayed and
were disconnected just at the moment
when they expected to make good their
escape.
The arrival of the reserves quickly
ended the trouble which arose over the
refusal of the authorities to allow them
to use a lot of new lumber for fuel
which was intended for building pur-
poses, and also because the Japs were
not allowed to burn down a new cot
| tage in which one of their number had
died of the plague, until preparations
could be made for it.
| Today many of the Japs are suller
and some of them are making clubs tC
use If again interfered with in theii
plans.

WONDER OF ORGANIZATION
AND PROMPT WORK.
Nearly Thirteen Hundred Asiatics
Provided for Under Good Sanitary
Conditions-Two Babies Born Today.

Two babies were born as wards to
Attorney General Cooper and his chief
assistant Chester A. Doyle who have
charge of the detention camp at the
drill shed.
One of the babies is Chinese and the
other Japanese. Mother and child are
doing well in each case. DR.. Meyers
expects a round dozen more to claim
the providing care of Cooper and Doyle
within the next ten days.
The Drill shed detention camp is a
wonder of organizing force and prompt
work. 1t was created in the darkness
of Saturday evening, and contains 957
Japanese, and 276 Chinese, all told 1888,
many of them of such tender years that
like the 100000 of Ninevah, they can
not tell their right hand from their left.
Now there are complete sanitary appli-
ances, perfect system of policing, 4
maternity home, an Isolated hospital,
a complete kitchen and commissary
syste m, a roof to shelter everybody, and
within a comparatively few hours their
will be provision for proper shelter for
all. A building 450 feet long is now
nearing completion which will provide
sleeping accommodations for all the
men. This building extends from the
front of the drill shed makai to Hotel
street and then along Hotel street TO
the Waikiki end of the grounds This
| dS all lle OllltI DulluluBS put up mas a
| { orrugated iron roof. 1t serves the
double purpose of providing shelter and
enclosing the grounds. On the Miller
street side of the Drill shed another
| building has been erected which pro-
vides administrative departments, store
| rooms supply department and kitchen.
! Inside the enclosure is a bath room
| in which all who are able are required
| to take a bath daily. Connected with
I ii is a drying room in which those
! coming from the bath dry themselves,
so that more can be accommodated
within the same time than if each
dried himself in the bath room.
| Drs. Meyers and Hodges are the med
ical attendants. They make two in
spections daily, feeling the pulse of
every individual and instantly separat-
ing those who show any signs of any
kind of illness. There has been no ILL
ress in the camp except a few cases of
beriberi, but even these are isolated.
All the buildings and grounds are thor
Oughly cleaned up twice day, and dis
infectants freely used. The maternity
department, the women and the chill
dren are looked after by Captain Lot
tie Mathis of the Salvation Army and
Miss Bushfield of the Peniel Mission.
There is need of toys for the children,
although thoughtful people have made
some provision in this respect already.
Chester Doyle is the executive officer
who has been the efficient aid OF
Attorney General Cooper i'm the Great
ION of this, almost a model camp.

REQUEST TO RESIDENTS.
Sanitary Committee Asks Public to AS
slst Inspectors.

The following resolution was passed
and issued by the Sanitary Committee
yesterday afternoon:
Whereas, the present visitation Of
plague constitutes a condition of seri~
GUS menace and grave danger both to
the public health and commercial in
terests of the community; ii is the
sense of this committee that i'm this
crisis of public emergency, it is not
only the positive and absolute duty of
every householder of whatever rank or
station, to facilitate and assist such in
spection In full accordance with the in
structions of the sanitary committee;
but failure to render due assistance
and acquiescence is highly reprehensi-
BILE, and any hinderance or objection.
with the object of prevention of tho
proper work of sub-inspectors, is in
effect, criminal and detrimental to the
public health, and inspectors are re-
quested to furnish the names of such
persons TO the committee for publica-
ton"

A SAILOR MEETS A STORMY
EXPERIENCE.
He Was Started on the Way to the
Pest Hospital But Suddenly Changed
His Self Diagnosis.

A plague suspect was on the Inter-
Island wharf this morning for few
moments. He gave his own word that
he had the bubonic plague, but 1t did
not take long to change the burden OF
his song when removal to the pest hos
pital was imminent.
The man was a sailor who had been
out all night. A Board of Health in
spector saw him lying helpless on q
bench and though it his duty to find
out If the case was one of plague. He
shook the sleeping man several times.
Say, have you got the plague?' he
shouted.
"Yes-plague! Wow! wela ka hao!"
yelled the man from the sea. Then he
kept up a constant refrain announcing
to all the neighborhood that he had
plague in every known form and didn't
care a bit. i've got plague. Wela ka
haol"
"Take him to the pest house if he's
got the plague" said the inspector. A
hand wagon was brought forward by
and employe of the steamship company.
BY this time Jack has ceased to sing
of plague and was dreaming about it,
lying unable to extricate his legs from
ENHANCEMENT with a chair he had tried
to sit in. A Portuguese got hold of him
and lifted him bodily into the wagon
and began the march up town. The
sailor awoke at this stage of the pro-
ceedings and came to the conclusion
that he was actually being carted of
in a pest wagon, to be placed among
victims of black death. He scrambled
out and issued a general challenge
When last seen he was very comfort
ably asleep in Captain Haglund's chail
in front of the Inter-Island office. Any
one who tried to wake him was gruffiy
told that he had not the plague.

TYPHOID ON NOLOKA|
MANY CASES OF FEVER ARE
REPORTED.
The Lehua Brings Passengers From
There This Morning-Dr. Mouritz
Goes to Investigate.

Typhoid fever is the epidemic that
has broken out on Molokai, in the Opin-
ion of passengers arriving from there
this morning on the steamer Lehua.
The disease is all over the island,
though there are no advices as to the
number of cases. The Lehua's passen-
gers are positive that it is not plague
and express the opinion that bad water
has caused the outbreak.
Five cases were being treated at Ka-
unakakai when the Lehua left, it is
stated, and there were reports of cases
at Pukoo and Kamalo. One of Il e
Lehua's passenger was a native who
is moving his family away, his daugh-
ter having been sick for several weeks.
with typhoid fever, and unable to have
proper care. He said he preferred to
be where plague was if there were doc
tors, rather than among the other dis
ease without medical men. Had he
known of the action of the Board of
Health in sending DR.. Mouritz to Molo-
kai he would have remained there.
The Mokolii also brought news of the
outbreak of sickness on the island and
the wish of the people there that a
doctor from Honolulu might be sent to
! investigate. All the doctors on Molo-
kai were reported to be so busy thar
more help was an urgent necessity. Mr..
Wight of the Wilder Steamship Com
pany asked permission to send the Mo
kolii back to Kaunakakai with a physi-
clan. Dr. Mouritz was communicated
with and left on the steamer at half
past six. He will investigate at Kau-
nakakai and will probably return at
once with a report
| The Lehua brought D. Ella, w. F,
Hassen Mr.. Evert, Mr.. and Mrs. Rem
kin and r. Holburn.
The Lehua brought a typhoid fever
lpatient from Molokai this morning. The
patient is Mrs. Renkin, who has been
! i'll for some time at Kaunakakai. She
was brought here on account of the
difficulty of getting medical attendance
at Kaunakakai. When the Lehua ar
llived the Board of Health was notified
and DIR. Garvin visited the vessel to
examine the patient and other passen-
gers. Mrs. Renkin was brought ashore
in a small boat and a hospital wager
was telephoned for to take her to th'
hospital She had to lie in the bottom
of the boat for about an hour awaiting
the arrival of the wagon.

PARIS EXHIBIT.

p Major Potter will not be able to get
the Hawaiian Exhibit for the Paris ex-
position off on the Australia. The
agents of the vessel definitely refused
it as the steamer is taking no Homo
lulu freight whatever. While they
would have liked to have made an ex-
ception in favor of the exhibit they felt
compelled to refuse to do so under the
circumstances, both on account of the
possible delay to the vessel at San
Francisco and the possibility that the
exhibit might be destroyed there by the
health authorities.

CHINESE GIVEN A BATH.
Prefer Wash Cloths to Plunging in the
Water.

All the refugees at Kawaiahao church
were given a bath yesterday Hose,
half barrels and big tubs were used.
Many of the Chinese objected, but all
were obliged to submit. However, none
could be persuaded to actually get into
the water. Wash cloths were the best
they could be got to use, but they were
made to use these efficiently and with
plenty of water The Chinaman has a
dread of getting his queue wet. Per-
haps the proposed Imperial edict or
dering the cutting off of queues, the
mere proposal of which overturned the
reform party in the Chinese empire
was more deeply philosophical than 1t
was thought to be at the time 1t might
have opened the way for baths and
the cleaning up of the Chinese en-
pire.
