QUEEN HOTEL HOSPITAL

When it became known this morning
that the Boardman household was to
go into quarantine at the home of Mrs.
King Mr. Boardman's sister, up Nuu-
anu valley, there was a strong feeling
of protest among many residents Of
that region.
At the meeting of the Board Of
Health this forenoon. F. A. Schae, r,
FaXon Bishop, and II. Renjes, residents
of the valley and p T. r. Strauch,
owner of the place where Mrs. King
lives, entered formal protest to such
use. Mr.. Bishop insisted that instead
of corralling infection it was creating
a new center. DR.. Wood said he did
rot think it would as the place would
be strictly quarantined.
After some discussion it was decided
TO look over the Queen Hotel premises
and if they were as suitable as they
are believed to be these will be used,
the protests of people in the vicinity
notwithstanding. The members of the
Board then went to visit the Queen
Hotel. The matter will be decided at
8 o'clock

port to the Board of Health that the
case was one of plague.
Pang Gee Cheong, Chinaman, aged
81, died at the blacksmith shop on Mau-
nakea street near Pauahi, this morning.
DR.. Howard had the case in charge. The
evidences of plague were so pronounced
that an autopsy was thought not ne

house four days ago and taken to the
pest house, died early this morning. An
autopsy was held at the Board OF

plague were discovered. The man died
of pneumonia. AS he had been in the
exposed hospital however the body
was cremated at Mauliola.

casioned by the report of a case in
Nuuanu valley almost opposite the Bu-
! ena Vista hospital. AS will be seen from
the reports above the man died at an
early hour this morning after being sicE
since last evening The bacteriologists
of the Board of Health have returned
a verdict of plague.
Judge c. F. Peterson is engaged this
afternoon in tracing this case. He is
getting the movements of the man fol
the week, so as to discover, if possible
the source of infection. All the per.
sons in the neighborhood are held. The
house is isolated and no special danger
to the neighborhood is feared.
The two Chinatown cases are within
the recognized infected district. Bott
deaths were quite sudden. The case OF
the Cinnamon is in a new district
though close to the second one since the
outbreak. 1t will not change any phast
of the Chinatown situation as the blocl
in which it occurred will be burned
anyway.

OPPOSE HAWAIIAN B[LL

WASHINGTON, January S.-The bill
creating a territorial form of govern
ment for Hawaii will be brought up in
the Senate after the passage of the fl
nancial bill and the disposal of the
Quay case, probably not before the first
week in February, if so soon. The bill
is substantially the same measure re-
ported favorably from the Committee
on Foreign Relations at the last session
of Congress. 1t was not considered by
the Senate then, and therefore there
will be considerable debate.
The opposition will be strong to the
provisions for a delgate in Congress
and to property qualifications for
voters Some conservative Senators will
insist that by permitting Hawaii to be
represented in Congress a precedent
will be set for Puerto Rico and more
particularly for the Philippines. They
will hold that this will be the first step
toward admitting the Hawaiian islands
to statehood, a very dangerous PROPOSE
ton in their view 1t will also be urged
that the requirement of property quail
fications for voters is contrary to the
ideals of the United States and very
dangerous provision. Other objections
to the bill will be raised, but these
promise to be the most important ones.

MAKE DETERMINED ATTACK ON
LADYSMITH.
Bayonet Charges Resorted to the the
tive-Fainthearted Sortie by Clery.

LONDON, January S.-The War
Office has published the following bull
letin from General Butler;
FREE CAMP, January S-The fol-
lowing is from White, dated p. m.
yesterday: AN attack was commen-
ced on my position, but was chiefly
against Caesars Camp and Wagon
Hill. The enemy was in great strength
and has pushed the attack with the
greatest courage and energy Some of
the intrenchments on Wagon Hill were
three times taken by the enemy and
retaken by us The attack continued
until 1880 p. IN. One point in our posi-
tion was occupied by the enemy the
whole day, but at dusk, in a very heavy
rainstorm, they We're turned out of this
position at the point of the bayonet in
most gallant manner by the Devons
| led by Colonel Park. Colonel Ian Ha-
milton commanded on Wagon Hill and
rendered valuable service. The troops
have had very trying time and have
behaved excellently. They are elated
at the service they have rendered the

! LONDON, January 1O.-The Daily
| Mail has the following dispatch, dated
Sunday, January Z, from Cape Town:
"Dordrecht is now garrisoned by 1000
rebels, thus releasing the Orange Free
State troops for service elsewhere"
LONDON, January 10.-Again there
is dearth of news. Since Saturday a
temporary peace seems to have des-
cended on the various fields of the war
General French has made a reconnois-
sance toward Achterlang, which lies on
the east of Colesberg, making the Beers
retire. General Gatacre gives no sign
and General Methuen's force is still
lying intrenched on the Modder River
No further news of General White S
victory has come through, and it is yet
to be learned at what cost it was pur-
chased by the garrison.
From COlenso comes intelligence OF
General Buffers demonstration on Sat
urday, which emphasizes the fact that
the Beers are conducting their cam
paign with great cunning and skill
When with faint hope of drawing off
some of the Beers from the attack or
Ladysmith, General Clery led out a
strong force of cavalry and guns, his
left having as it's objective DoornkoT

E REFUSES BBHOS DREAM CONE TRUE QUARANTINE AuDAAIB NOT CLOSED PORT
BAD NEWS FOR AUSTRALIA'S S
PASSENGERS.
Extraordinary Precautions Taken at
San Francisco with the Hongkong
Maru-No Mail Ashore.

The Australians passengers will all be
quarantined in San Francisco, judging
by advices received today via the Aus
tralia. The bookings now number a
hundred and fifty and w G. Irwin &
Company are preparing to fit up the
quarters of the vessel usually used by
steerage passengers for cabin passen-
gers. The quarantine at the other end
will be fifteen days, though it is possi-
BILE that from this period the time oc-
cupied by the voyage will be deducted.
San Francisco has apparently taken
on bit of scare, as a result of the
last advices, and the greatest precau-
tions are now being taken against in
fection from Honolulu. The Australia
was held for two days and the Hong
kong Maru for much longer. When
the Australia left the japanese vessel
had been in San Francisco harbor for
two days and not even mail had been
brought ashore. 1t was announced
that mail would not be allowed ashore
for at least another twenty-four hours,
so there is no telling how long the YES
sci itself might be held.
The strictness OF the measure taken
with regard to the Hong Kong Marl
may relieve the situation here to some
extent as far as the difficulty of secur.
/ ing passage from Honolulu is concern
|
sengers from here. She came to tn.
wharf, discharged and went on hel
way, but her refusal of passengers was
! of no avail. In spite of all her pre-.
/ cautions here the rules at San Francis
! co We're so strict that not even dis.
! infected mail was allowed to come
ashore for at least three days. There is
therefore nothing to be lost by through
steamers in the future if they do take
! passengers from Honolulu, as only tkt
same period of quarantine would b,
| observed.
The Australia was boarded this morr.
ing only by the pilot, Fred Whitney, o.
W. G. Irwin & Co. and the custom
house boarding officer Jacobson went t
meet her in the pilot boat, with Loui!
Kenake of the Post Office. The YES
sci anchored in the stream and vii
remain there, unloading 1900 tons OF
cargo on lighters. The passengers, were
! brought ashore on n scow.

DEEP WATER STEAMSHIPS TO
TO CALL THERE.
Government Considers the Town Good
Place to Land Mules-The Aztec to
go There.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 1O.-The
animal transport Tartar dropped into
the stream last night and will sail to-
day for Hilo, where she will rest her
mules before continuing her voyage to
Manila.
WASHINGTON, January S.-Ar-
rangements have been made by which
the transport Aztec, which is about to
leave San Francisco for Manila with
horses and mules, is to touch at the port
of Hilo i'm the Hawaiian islands instead
of at Honolulu, thus avoiding the pos
sibility of carrying infection.
SAN FRANCISCO, January 9.-Posi-
tive orders were received by Captain
Barneson, marine superintendent Of the
transport service, yesterday to dispatch
the Aztec to Manila tomorrow by way
of Hilo. Advices from Honolulu stated
that the plague was increasing there.
The Aztec is to land her horses at Hilo
and give them exercise on shore then
reship them and continue on her way to
Manila. If the palgue at Honolulu con-
| tinues all horse transports will take
that route.
! The Tartar will be dispatched tomor-
row evening for Manila direct with
nearly a score of officers, 300 soldiers
and full cargo of freight. The hospital
men who were to have gone on her tc
Honolulu will be sent down there on the
next mail steamer
SAN FRANCISCO, January THE
little port of Hilo, Hawaii while it pos.
sesses a fine harbor, has not the facili.
ties for handling vessels that Honolulu
can claim. Now it will suddenly spring
into prominence, because the horse
transport Aztec has been ordered tC
proceed there and land it's horses in or,
der that they may have exercise ant
rest SO long as the black plague con.
tinues at Honolulu it is understood tina
all horse transports will stop at Hllo
AS yet no orders have been received
for the building of a corral there, bu
if the plague continues for any length
of time it is likely that the necessary
orders will be forthcoming. Much de.
pends upon the report made by the
steamship HOngkong Maru, now due
from the Orient via Honolulu.
The sending of transports to Hilc
! means much, in the opinion of people
who are Interested in that port. The
/ harbor is at present not a sheltered
| one, although it has a wharf at which
deep-water ships have docked. SO large
a steamship as the Aztec has never
visited there. If her trip is. successful
the attention of the Government viii
be attracted toward Hilo, and the re.
suit may that the improvement of the
harbor will be commenced at an early
date. The experiment will be watched
with a great deal of interest by the
people who have invested in the larg,
coffee and sugar plantations on Hawaii
the largest island by far of the Hawaii
an group.

HONOLULU SHIPMENTS NOT
TABU.
Consul General and Shippers Receive
no Notice That Sugar May Not be
Sent From Here.

Honolulu is not a closed port, in spite
of reports to the contrary from San
Francisco. So far the authorities in the
States have not made shipments from
here tabu. Consul-General Haywood
has received no advices from the au-
thorities that the port has been closed,
and none of the local shippers have re-
ceived such notices.
II do not think the report that is
published in a San Francisco paper is
entitled to any consideration" said Mr..
Haywood. mo new instructions regard
ing shipments were received by this
Office and I feel sure that We should be
the first to be notified if the authorities
had decided to refuse shipments from
here. The fact that prominent ship
pers have also got no adVices is also a
sure indication that there is nothing in
the San Francisco papers story I do
not consider ii as worthy of any no.
tiCe"
At the offices of Hackfeld e Company
and w. G. Irwin e Company, the same
reports are given out Neither firm has
any report that sugar cannot be taken
| from Honolulu.
The report that Honolulu is a closed
| port spread all over the town this morn
| ing and caused no little excitement. In
| connection with the news that trans
| ports were going to Hilo from San
Francisco, it caused wide discussion, as
| the beginning of a boycott of Honolulu
! that might be far reaching in its conse-
quences. AS far as official reports are
| concerned, there is nothing in the re-
port, though the sending of transports
| to Hilo is probably the real intention.
| How they will get coal there remains
! to be seen. Probably island steamers
/ will take it to them

SOME MEN DISCIPLINED.
National Guardsmen Severely Dealt
With by Court Martial.

Strict discipline is now maintained in
the National Guard. This morning three
men went to prison for failure in guard
duty. They were as follows Private A.
Medeiros, Company c, leaving his post;
ten days Imprisonment at hard labor
and a fine of $25. John Makaena, Com
pany H, sleeping on his post; five days
at hard labor and a fine of 500. Henry
Kia, Company G, leaving his post; ten
days at hard labor and fine of $25.
The National Guard is now doing the
hardest sort of duty and occupies the
most dangerous position in the whole
city. Great credit is due to each indi-
vidual man in the regiment, and this
should be remembered always by the
whole community. There have been
many temptations ahead of the boys,
but very few have been lured into them.

THE RIOT CALL.
Captain Parker Practicing His Men in
Response to it,

Senior Captain of Police Parker is
giving his men some lightning drill in
responding to the riot call. Monday aft
ernoon he happened in the mems quar-
ters on the second story of the new ad-
dition to the police station and noticed
that two of the men, contrary to his
injunctions had taken off their shoes
He thought this a good time to show
them the unwisdom of it. So without
warning he turned in the riot call in
stantly the men were on the alert. Some
of them were playing cards, others were
lying down, and still others were read
ing. They jumped up, buckled on belts,
put on their hats, completed their
dress, were down stairs, out through the
Jail yard, up stairs to the armory, each
got his rifle, were all back including the
two who had to put on their shoes,
down stairs and into the patrol wagon
in one minute and ten seconds. This is
remarkable time when it Is considered
that they have to go down two flights
of stairs and up one, and through six
doors, out through the Jail yard and
that the turns are so many and narrow
| that the ten men have to go single file
Yesterday afternoon Captain Parker
gave the other watch a similar drill.
This watch contains four green" men,
yet they made it in one minute and
eleven seconds
