the selection.

On the back trip DR.. Wood will bring
Il physician from Hawaii and one from
Maui to study the plague mere for Il

AMBASSADOR LoEBENsrErN.
Not Allowed to Land at Hilo for
Hours.

HILO, February 10.-Embassador
Loebenstein was not allowed to land
from the I<ilauea Hou for several hours
after the vessel returned here, and not
until the question of his landing had
been considered by a meeting of his
fellow citizens.
AS soon as the Kilauea Hou was
sighted meeting of citizens was held
at 10 o'clock at night at which it was
decided that George Beckley should be
required to direct the master of the
Kilauea Hou to anchor off shore and not
to attempt to lana mail or anything
else until permission had been given
him to do so. The vessel arrived at 2
O'Clock in the morning and Mr.. Loeben-
stein objected strenuously to delay in
being allowed to land. The committee
however were obdurate, and he was
not allowed to land until the following
forenoon. Mail and freight was fumi-
gated.

sion from the National Board of Health.
On February he met with the local
committee of Safety, and a general
discussion of the situation was had

CREMATION ON THE BEACH
GREENSBORO BON-FIREs SEEN AT
KAHULUI
\ Harbor Full of Vessels That Had
Avoided Honoulu's Quarantine and
are Now Held at Maui.

From their anchorage in Kahului har-
Dor shipping men at the port are the
spectators of scenes that will always
be subjects of interesting and in part
at least of grewsome memory The
outbreak Of plague at kahului found
the harbor full of vessels that Will now
have much trouble with quarantine.
The crews were not allowed on shore,
but they could see the town and much
of what was done there. The crema-
tion of the dead was easily visible from
the harbor. Kahului had no crematory
and all that could be done was to burn
the bodies of victims on pile of wood.
A spot on the beach was chosen. The
bodies were laid upon some railroad
iron, with a large heap of wood under
meath, and reduced to ashes in the open
air. The fires leave only a pile of
ashes on the beach, the consumed wood
and bones of the unfortunate victim
being mingled. There is no style about
this but the people of Kahului natur-
ally regard it as better than having
plague-infeCted COrpses on the Island.
Guns are very much in evidence at
Kahului. The white population has
taken hold of things with a firm hand
and in the absence of any troops they
have organized themselves to keep the
peace and see that rules adopted for
the public safety are carried out. There

nese and Japanese population of Maui
is likely to make any trouble, though
the burning of dead Chinese is always
"A cause of feeling.
Kahului's outbreak of plague is very
unlucky for a number of vessels that
had left Honolulu to avoid quarantine
mere, or had gone to Maui without call
Eng at Honolulu. These vessels are now
in the harbor at Kahului, in strict
quarantine. The Antiope, Captain Muir
ray, is one of the ships that changed
her course to Kahului rather than en-
Ter Honolulu harbor. She had a load
of coal from the Sound, and went away
from here after lying outside the har-
Dor few days. The ship Centennial
also left Honolulu for Kahului and is
there now. The barkentine Chehalis
with coal from Newcastle, the schooner
Novelty, with fertilizer from Nitrate
ports and the island steamer Claudlne
were all at Kahului yesterday. The
barkentine Mary Winkleman left yes
terday for the coast with a full cargo
of sugar She is likely to meet with a
very strict quarantine at the other end
of her journey.
