Two new cases of plague from
sources entirely unlocked for by the
Health Department were discovered
yesterday afternoon, and the patients
were Immediately conveyed to the pest
hospital. The first case was that of a
native named Kaanoa, a member of
Company II of the National Guard. The
first knowledge of his sickness was
learned from DR.. c. b. Cooper. who
stated that the soldier applied at the
Queens Hospital for admission. Dr.
Cooper made an examination. and the
result, he felt, justified him in having
the man sent to the pest hospital as
a. suspect. Some soldiers of the Ma
carried their sick comrade on a
stretcher up Miller street toward the
Punchbowl. and he called at the hos
pital later in the day. Last evening
Colonel Jones had nine of his soldiers
clothed in new uniforms throughout,
and these were evidently the ones who
had attended the stricken guardsman.
Just where the man has been stationed
when on duty in the infected district
has not been learned. His temperature
yesterday afternoon was 105 %;
pulse 40.
The other suspected case was that
of KaanOhi, Hawaiian assistant with
one of the odorless excavatoTs, he be-
ing the second victim TO be thus strick-
en- on the excavatOr force. The case
was reported early yesterday morning,
but was not considered suspicious un-
til ! p. m. The man has been in the
quarantine district continually.
As a result of the death of the Jap
anese woman Kiwara. on the Eva side
of Nuuanu street. mauka of Kukui
lane, the Board of Health yesterday
morning visited the premises, declared
the building and surrounding struct-
ures infected with the plague. and con-
demned them to be burned early this
morning.
The Board also decided that the con-
demned area should extend from the
corner of Nuuanu street and Kukui
lane as far as the GertZ premises at
the turn of the lane. and as far as the
Commercial saloon property, facing on
Nuuanu street. The Bruins property in
the rear of the saloon property. abuts
the condemned area also.
In regard to the two new cases of
plague yesterday, DIR. Wood stated:
THAT seems to be a pointer or two.
One is. there must be some particular
danger in connection with these cess
pools i'm Chinatown. The proportion of
two men out Of a force of twenty on
the excavators is tremendous. On the
other hand, the case Of the guardsman
is another pointer, showing that the
Chinatown district is infected and
dangerous, and the sooner disposed of
by drastic measures the better. 1t is
a hopeful sign that we can trace all
these cases directly back to China
town"
A final moving out of the remnant of
residents of Block 10 will be rushed to-
day, if accommodations can be provid-
ed for them at the new detention camp
at Kalihi. 1t is not probable, howev-
er, that Block No. 10 will be burned
until tomorrow.
Four buildings at the corner Of Lii
ha and Kuakini streets we're burned
yesterday forenoon. The plague victim
Kahelelihi died on the premises Tues
day. More than a score of evicted peo-
pie were conveyed to the Kakaako de-
tention camp before the blaze began.
