Be Burned.

Dc ouTu6Q.
Shortly after clock yesterday aft
ernoon the Board of Health met In the
Judiciary building. Those present
we're President Wood, DIR. Day and
Messrs. Lowrey, Hatch and Smith.
The Board Immediately turned their
attention to the consideration of the
All Sing case. When the Board ad-
jOurned Saturday afternoon 1t had not
been officially announced that All Sing
had died of the plague. DR.. Hoffman,
was then examining the slides and did
not determine the matter until after
that meeting. DR.. Wood announced,
therefore, to the members of the Board
at yesterdays meeting that All Sings
was verified case of plague.
DIR. Wood: Il have been running
around all the morning endeavoring to
find out all that was possible in regard
TO All Sing, and whether he had been
working at the Hotel stables. / wanted
to get conclusive evidence in the mat
ter and it was almost by accident that
1 ran across substantiation of the re-
port that Ah Sing had been employed
recently in the Hotel stables. 1t was
about 1880 o'clock this morning that
1 met Mr.. John Andrade in his car
riage. He spoke to me and said that
his Chinese boy was cousin to the Ah
Sing who had died of the plague and
that he (the boy) would like to have
the ashes of All Sing after the body
had been cremated.
Il saw clue here and Immediately
seized upon it and asked Mr.. Andrade
il l could see the boy; Mr.. Andrade re-
.aI hot a ~, how IN hn
carriage. I.questioned the fellow very
closely and had his replies taken down
in shorthand He appeared to be per-
fectly honest in his statements, and
am we'll satisfied that the information
ne gave me is correct. He had only
just heard of his cousin All Sing S
death and was anxious to secure his
ashes, having heard that the death was
due to plague and that the body would
be cremated. | have All Sop's (Ah
Sings cousin) statement here and will
read it,"

with me five months for John Andrade;
then he worked at Club stables. About
a month ago he left the Club stables.
When the Club stables were quaran-
tined my cousin was not quarantined,
because he worked at night time. He
then worked one or two weeks for Ho-
tel stables. When he was working for
Hotel stables he lived at Palama, Asy-
lum road. Before the first quarantine
my cousin lived on River street, but
since he worked at the Hotel stables
