In the Claudiue mail there sas
the following letter from Dr. garvsn.
who ID In charge for the Board az
Health at Kahulul.
Kahulul, Feb. 20. 1900.
&. u. Wood, M.D-Dear Sir, The ait
uatlon here is excellent. There was
one death on Sunday, February IL 81
the pesthouse. This case / picked o,H
on February 10 as only slightly aus
picious; but II developed rapidly. ana
the postmortem examination showed A
very good case OF the pneumonia form,
WIN no glandular engagements, For
TINS reason i have set the time for the
whole number back, so that the period
OF detention will date from the I5tb
instant. / drew plans for a new camp
which Messrs. Baldwin and Iowrey
approved. This camp is on high
ground near the railroad and is a mod
Ell, from sanitary standpoint
we nave hye new houses. with
FENCES and corrals, all complete. ana
moved the entire camp out of the race
track yesterday afternoon. With the
japanese carpenters now in camD
intend to erect one more building with
capacity for seventy-five persons.
which will enable me to properly house
everyone. This new camp, which in
wolves the expenditure of perhaps So
600, will cost the Government almost
nothing, as ] have a distinct verbal
contract with witnesses) with Mr..
BALDWIN that We may use the camp
and after quarantine is over 1t will
become the new Chinatown OF Kahu-
lui.
The cost of the corrals and some mi
nor Items will be at the expense of the
Government. BY digging wells we
have secured considerable water for
bathing Japanese, but drinking-water
must be hauled from Waikiki by train
which is a large item of expense. We
have about exhausted the supply OF
clothing and blankets; SO, IL any emer-
gency should arise, 1t would be impos-
sible to handle the people without
shipments from Honolulu. At present
am unable to give the people com
plete changes of underwear, and, IL the
policy OF clothing the people as In Ho-
nolulu Is carried out, we must have
more supplies sent in.
The wharf regulations are being
obeyed as long as j keep somewhat of
a supervision over 1t. The second
wharf was opened this morning for
handling OF coal under the same re-
strictions. The railroad has been en-
closed with a barbed wire fence, and
traffic across the tracks Is impossible.
Shipments of sugar may begin at any
time with safety. Our hospital Is fin
ished and in use.
enclose list of supplies, If the
Board sees fit to grant them. Up to-
the present time have drawn on DIR.
Weddlck's private stock for necessary
articles, | have performed three post
mortems in cases from outside districts
dying without medical attendance.
One case, a japanese from Spreckels-
Vile, seemed little suspicious; but
| was unable to demonstrate the ba-
GILL. | would like to have definite in
structions about raising the quaran-
tine, provided we have clean record
for the required time. Mr.. Atkinson
has secured Mr.. Henry Wodehouse to-
assist him, and the camp Is being ad-
ministered in q systematic, economical
manner
Portions of Wailuku are in a very
filthy condition, and the row OF Chi
nese shacks on the main street would
be an excellent place for an outbreak.
On Sunday, with assistance OF the sher-
In, we exhumed the bodies OF three
Chinese and two Japanese (all from
KahuluD and cremated the remains, .
Respectfully, c. l.. GARVIN.
