the crematory was Immediately au-
thOriZed.
BY nightfall the machinery of every
department was in motion, centralized
entirely on preventing the disease
from getting beyond the borders of
Chinatown. Five deaths occurred on
December 18th, and all the bodies were
cremated in the furnaces of the Homo
lulu Iron Works. During the remain
der of that week all bodies Of plague
patients were consumed in the Iron
Works furnaces until the completion
of the crematOry, which was accom-
plished in three days and was a de-
cided success at the initial cremation.
The next morning a large force of
inspectors and sub-inspectOrs COM
menced rigid examination of the san
itary evils Of Chinatown, and before
midday that district felt the effects of
the careful work of the volunteers. The
interiors of the blocks were found in a
filthy condition, filled with Shiny cess
pools and conducive at every point to
spread the disease throughout the in
fected district. The corps of inspect
Ors caused the tenants to bring the
garbage through the narrow alley
ways to the street, where it was
burned in huge piles. The most impor-
tant feature of the building construc-
ton Of Chinatown which was gener-

prevent any spread OF the disease to
the other Islands.
AS soon as the quarantine was thus
raised the opinions OF the medical fra
ternity OF Honolulu became divided.
some maintaining that the disease
which had been pronounced by the
Board of Health to be bubonic plague.
had none of the features OF the Asiatic
plague. An important meeting Of the
Hawaiian Medical Society, held at the
Pacific Club, brought out the most
learned argument in favor OF estab-
fishing the identity of the plague ba-
cilli which the Health Department BAG
teriologists had been able to show by
microscopical examinations. Some
contended that the bacilli which were
declared to be plague bacilli, had no
resemblance whatever 10 the bacllli
which was carrying off thousands OF
persons in India. China and Japan.
The Medical Society was unable TO
agree upon any form of resolution as
to the identity OF the bacilli, but the
majority of the physicians present
were firm in the belief that the Board
of Health was correct i'm stating that
the plague bacilli had been discovered
in the Chinese diagnosed as plague pa
tients. However. the Medical Society
offered its support to the Board, and
many of it's members have since placed
their entire time and skill at the dis
pOsal of the Health Board.
Plague in White People.
The first white person to be stricken
by the plague occurred one week after
the plague was discovered in Honolulu.
The patient wac a Norwegian school
girl who lived for nearly a week after
being pronounced a plague case. The
chain OF infection was traced almost
directly back to Chinatown, and the
infection evidently passed through
merchandise which the girl had bought
at a Chinese store. Having been pro-
nounced a filth disease, the case at
first alarmed the white population.
However, no new cases among the
whites appeared. but every precaution
was taken by this population to ward
off any possible danger, and the city
was thoroughly cleaned up OF its gar
bage. The streets, even were subject
ed to a . per cent solution OF sulphuric
acid, and fumigating stations for dis
injecting the employees OF the Health
Department and the volunteer work.
ers were established within the infect
ed district, and also at the Board OF
Health Office. No expense has been
spared in providing for fumigation
and disinfection. From December 18th
until December Both there were no new
cases and It was strongly felt on ali
sides that the plague had been effect
ually checked. and the quarantine was
about to be raised at all points
Fresh Outbreak Occurs.
The Advertiser had been urging the
Board of Health for some time to take
more severe measures in cleansing
Chinatown, and suggested that the
entire disease-ridden district be swept
by fire, and thus dispose of the 9th
breeding, plague-infected section for
the benefit of the community at large.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1900-01-24

ally condemned by the inspectors was
the utter impossibility of cleaning up
the filth from the center of the blocks
on account of the narrowness of these
alleyways.
Inspectors Reports.
The concensus of opinion of the in
spectors in their reports to the Board
was that Chinatown presented an in
sanitary condition almost incapable of
being remedied by other means than
fire. Many of them proposed that the
Board take prompt action upon the
course thus recommended, which was
also urged by the Advertiser in re-
peated editorials. The Board did not
desire to take such measures in wiping
out the infection, as the disease
seemed to have been checked within
a week of its inception, and the quar-
antine under certain conditions was
greatly modified, especially in regard
TO the shipping, which had been pro-
hibited from leaving the port of Homo
lulu for the other Islands until a sew
en- days quarantine had been strictly
carried out. The Board of Health was
most anxious in this respect, and took
every precaution known in quarantine
regulations relating to shipping, to

sidered at the time amply sufficient
