The third victim infected at the new
plague center at the Pantheon Stables
died last night in the pest hospital :.
This was the Japanese Yamaota, who
was removed from the large lodging
house on South street yesterday to the
hospital, after being pronounced a
certain case of plague earlier in the
afternoon. The case was of the vicious
type observed in the previous cases of
those infected in the stables. AS in the
case of Wong Chin, the Japanese was
not alarmingly i'll until yesterday aft
ernoon, when the bubo in the femoral
gland became greatly enlarged and
tender. Another bubo attacked the
man in the cervical gland, and this
probably FASTENED his death. He was
inoculated with serum shortly after be-
ing taken to the hospital, but appar-
emily received no benefit from it. The
body was removed to the morgue.
Mr.. Hartmann is reported as being
in fair condition yet, although his tenn
perature is slightly on the rise. No
further development of the gland is
noticeable, and it is believed the serum
has been effective in checking its
growth. He is as clear in his mind as
when first visited by DR.. Wood on
Sunday.
Armstrong Smith reports the rest of
his plague patients in good condition
Mrs. Franz is convalescing, and the
Japanese woman from the Arlington
Hotel is able to take daily promenade
on the veranda.
Three of the patients who are pro-
nounced cured by DR.. Hoffman, will
be removed to battery camp today
and placed under the supervision of
DIR. Nichols. All of these are Japan
ese, namely, the Japanese woman and
child from Merchant street, and the
man from Kobayashi Hotel. Aiona,
who has been assisting the nurses in
the hospital since his recovery, will
also remain there for short time be-
fore going into regular quarantine.
The inmates of the lodging-house on
South street, from which Yamaota
was removed, will be taken in squads
TO the quarantine camps. Those living
in the portion of the building facing
on South street will be removed to-
day, in order that preparations can be
made for carrying out whatsoever Or
der the Board may deem necessary.
The tenants Of the portion facing on
Kawaiahao' street will be removed as
soon as the first detachment are
housed. At present the building is in
charge of a Citizens sanitary inspect
or.
The Board of Health met in special
session to consider the question of
condemning the Pantheon saloon and
stables and destroying them by fire.
This was the most important business
before the Board, who had made an
inspection Of the buildings at 8 a. m.
The Board members present at
the meeting were President Wood, DR..
Day, Messrs. F. M. Hatch, George w.
Smith and F. ]. Lowrey.
In presenting the history of the
plague cases directly attributed to the
Pantheon stables and vicinity and his
reasons for believing the district in
fected with the plague germs, the Pres
ident said:
DR.. Woods Statement.
Il believe that the Pantheon prem
ises, the Pantheon saloon and Pantheon
stables should be declared infected
by plague. On January Goth a GER
tain Chlnman, Quon Fat Man, was
found in the afternoon up the Valley,
above Wyllie, near extension of Liliha
street, outside of q small house and
near to 1t. The probabilities are that
he was inside the house for several
by evidence. The story which was OBJ
tanned through the people of this house
and through the Detective Bureau Is
as follows:
1.-The man was engaged in the Pan
theon saloon up to the preceding Sun
day, January 21st. On that Sunday,
or the Saturday, forget which, he
was not we'll and a doctor was tele-
phoned for. DR.. Hoffman, saw him.
took his temperature and examined
him. There was no evidence OF plague
and the doctor so stated. The pro-
prietors of the place told the Chinaman
that he could go home, and he left the
premises; simply disappeared. That
was ON the 21st, Sunday. between
Sunday and the day he was found,
to the mans whereabouts. The best
