MoLoKArs MALAR1AL FEVER.

No Abatement Since DIR. Peterson's
-. Investigation Last Month.
Malarial fever has evidently taken a
determined hold OF the Kannakakai
side OF the island of Molokai, according
to letter received from DIR. Schwallie
by the Board of Health yesterday. In
fact the fever has so alarmed the in
habitants that they have requested aid
of some kind from Honolulu. No physi-
clans are at present available here, but
medicines will be forwarded. The plan
tations will also be requested to allow
public use of their stock of medicines.
to be filled later by supplies from the
Government. DIR. Sehwallie's letter
reads:
Kaunakakai, Molokai, Feb. 8, 1900.
Board of Health, Honolulu.
Sirs: There is no abatement of the
fever here. There are about twenty
five cases outside and on the plantation
at kamalo, and about forty cases here.
Most of the cases are malaria with
some typhoid and dysentery. They are
scattered along about fifty miles of
coast, and it is impossible to give them
all the necessary medical attention.
The roads are In very bad condition
since the heavy rains. If you can give
us remedy the people here would ap-
preeiate 1t. You will probably receive
letters from others.
Very respectfully,
