EIGHT THOUSAND HOMELESS.


Honolulu, Feb. 11.-Now that the
plague is practically stamped out. no
deaths having occurred for eight days,
the question of what the quarantine
and inspection have cost is coming
to the front, to say nothing of the loss
through interruption of business. The
expenses the plague have entailed
have been enormous, The military
establishment alone costs about ST.
300 day. For nearly a month the
government supplied rations TO about
1900 persons in the quarantine dis
trict The 10000 people who have
been or are in isolated barracks are
provided for at government expense.
Upward of 5000 people have been rem
dered homeless by the burning OF
buildings. Many lost their all, and

charge upon the government. No one
has as yet dared to make an exact
estimate of what the plague will cost
