who, while free, find themselves in
hard straits. They thought hey
would find places to live in, but after
making an appeal to their Consuls and
after an effort TO find lodgings, they
are forced to return TO the station from
which they came. Battery camp can
not take them in again, the kerosene
warehouse has had TO send many ont
to make room for new arrivals, and
the condition at Kal.hi is still more
CCngested.
The relief camps, one ct Punc1pCNl
street and the other az Kauluwela, can
handle / 500 persons; but This outlet is
blocked at present because the neces-
stiles Of the fire brought in 500 Ha-
waiians, one Of whom was taken with
plague. This is now an infected camp.
Until this place can be cleared, clean

quarantine. IL IS hoped, however, nat
the regular detention camps Will ne
