Dear Sir: Knowing that false i'm
pTessions prevail in Honolulu regard
ing the Indignation Of the Kauai peo-
pie about passengers being allowed to
pass on the local steamers without
going through the quarantine as ar
ranged by the Board of Health, the
following beg to protest against any
one being allowed to visit Kauai I'M
less he has first complied with the reg

fected by this law.
We consider further that freight
