Concerning Maui affairs. President

in Kahului in a most promising state.
DIR. Garyin had taken hold of matters
and had done most excellent work.
Close watch is being kept over the
place The day We arrived the body
Of japanese from the mountains
about twenty miles away, was brought
in for pOstmortem examination. De-
ceased was a runaway from Spreck-
elsTille and no doubt died OF starya-
ton. The boy brought in with him

Discharged From Kalihi.
Eighteen hundred and sixty-four per-
sons wede discharged from the halihi
detention camp yesterday-Hawallan
Japanese and Chinese, free to go wher-
ever they could find home and shelter.
That their discharge was not the last
to be heard from them was we'll illus
:rated last night when over eight hun
dred Of the liberated people returned
to the camp and begged to be sheltered
as they had no places to go. What the
remaining thousand are doing 1t Is diff
ficult to imagine, unless they are doub-
ling up, as far as accommodations are
concerned, with their friends or going
without shelter at all.
The crowds marching in to town all
day yesterday attracted considerable
attention. The mule cars were loaded
down with them, the sidewalks were
thronged with them, and all along King
street, out to Waikiki even, little
squads of people, natives and orientals,
could be seen; some of them with
destination in view, others wandering
aimlessly around, resting by the road
side to eat their luncheon or chat to-
gether on the situation.
Some have already made arrange
ments to resume business. In queer
corners. In sheltered hooks, here and
there throughout the town can be seen
cobbler's stand for little temporary
snop. The majority Of the people freed
from quarantine seemed to have some
money, for they made use OF the cars
and purchased soda water and bananas
and cigarettes whenever so inclined.
Jack McVeigh reported all well at the
camp late last night, the eight hundred
refugees who returned for shensr we're
