EXTRAORDINARY QUARANTINE
REGULATIONS,
The Towns Right to Make Such Rules
Questioned-Mail to be Opened and
Envelopes Destroyed.

The steamer Noeau arrived from Ha-
wall at noon today with startling news
for the island steamship companies.
The big island has established the
strictest quarantine yet heard of. FJilo-
ties have even decided that they will
open and fumigate mail before allow
ing it to come ashore and all vessels
must go into quarantine for ten ia IS
at Hilo before they can land any freight
of any description. Letters will be op-
ened, the envelopes burned and the con-
tents thoroughly fumigated.
The Noeau went to Waipio on 5u l.
day morning. Captain Wyman was in
ormed that no vessel could land any
thing on Hawaii soil without a bill of
health from Hilo. He went to Hilo and
was fumigated and allowed to lis
charge AS he was leaving, the new OF
der was placed in his hands, to ne
communicated to Honolulu. 1t stated
that hereafter a ten days quarantine
will be insisted upon after fumigatlon
at Hilo and that mail would be trel-ed
as above stated.
Hllo may get into trouble with the
authorities here by her strict rules. The
question has arisen whether the Ha-
wall port has any right to make rules
overriding those established by the
Board of Health here. The seat of gov
ernment is in Honolulu and the Homo
lulu Board of Health it is the opinion
of many has power to say what rules
shall be made all over the islands. Ac-
cording to this view, Hilos course is
without legal sanction and it's Board of
Health, organized for the occasion, is
going far beyond it's powers.
The rule made by the Hiloites may
mean the end of the island shipping
business while plague exists, If the
rules are carried out. Interested parties
however, do not admit the right of Hilo
to interfere with the Honolulu Board OF
Health, and efforts may be made to
bring the Hilo people to better terms,
especially regarding mail.
The Hilo quarantine has it's peculiar
tiles like other quarantines The steam
er Noeau was boarded at the capital
city of Hawaii by several officers, who
came to fumigate. They remained on
board long enough to complete the jot
and then went ashore.

WORK MUST NOW CEASE

SQUABBLE.
Minister of Interior Orders Hawaiian
Tramways Company to Cease Work
Until Court Hears Case.

The Cabinet will interfere in the King
street railway muddle. Most of this
morning was given to discussing the
matter. Shortly after noon it was voted
to instruct the Minister of Interior to
order the Hawaiian Tramways Com
pany to cease work of laying double
track on King street until the action

of way be settled
A letter from Minister Young to this
effect was sent to Attorney Paul Neu-

Neumann will consult with Manager
Pain before acting at all in the matter.

A WOMAN sNEAKs ON BOARD THE
HELENE.
The Vessel May Now Be Quarantlned.
Engines of the Kaena Blow up and
Scald a Native.

A native woman got on board the
steamship Helene, lying outside the
harbor last night. She had become lone
ly as result of long separation from
her quarantined hubby on board and
resolved to brave all the guards. There
was not much to brave as it appeared,
for the particular guard she encount-
cred satisfied himself with reporting
the matter to the Board of Health in
stead of preventing the woman from
going on the vessel. The occurrence is
likely to cost the Wilder Steamship
Company good sum of money, as the
Helene will probably have to go into
quarantine.
The woman who got on board the He
lene is Mrs. Salamon. 1t appears that
the successful attempt of last night is
the third she has made. On two sue
| cessiVe nights she started out for the
Helene and was turned back by guards.
Yesterday she tried to get a shore boat
to go to the steamer and was prevented
by John Makona, of the boat landing,
who is now a Board of Health inspec-
tor. When night came she tried new
plan boat for her was sent to the
railroad wharf while she walked out
on the end of the sea-wall, Waikiki of
the channel The boat made a wide
| circuit to where she was waiting, took
by another circuit.
| The guard says that he did not see
| the boat at all till ii was coming back,
when he intercepted it and found that
the woman was already on the steamer
This morning the matter was reported
+ by Makona, who is looking after the
! channel. AS soon as the Helene came
into the harbor the woman was arrest
| ed and taken off from the vessel to the
police station.
/ The order compelling the island
| steamers to anchor outside the harbor
every night before dark was made to
| prevent just such visits as that made
on the Helene. 1t was thought that If
| the vessels were beyond the channel
there would be little danger of anyone
from shore getting aboard. The steam
ers all went out early last evening, re-
turning at daylight this morning. The
woman who went aboard the Helene
took a shore boat and climbed up the
! side of the vessel. The guard who al
| lowed her to do so and then reported
| it afterwards has earned a medal in
the opinion of those on board.
The Inter Island steamship company
also had its troubles this morning. The
old steamer Kaena, which was brought
into requistion for use in the present
emergency, blew up at the wharf at
about seven o'clock. A native who was
in the engine room was fearfully scald-
ed by steam. The whole of his back was
burned through the skin. He was re-
moved from the room while the clouds
of steam were still spouting from the
broken tubes, and taken to the hospital
for treatment. His injuries are very
painful but he will probably recover.
! The Kaena was laid off about two years
ago, and was being used by the Board
of Health to tow rubbish outside the
harbor.

lLO GETTING RDHTNDPLNA AMONG SEAMBGT OUT OF QUARANTINE more
TWO LADIES WITNESS ESCAPE OF
CHINAMAN.
Saw Him Climb over Building at
Detention Camp-Serious Charge
Against a Guard-Other Laxness.

Two ladies, both tourists and stop.
ping at one of the hotels, witnessed an
incident this morning that would seem
to call for the attention of the Board
of Health.
They We're out driving and stopped
at point near the Kakaako detention
depot to look at the arrangement At
that moment a Chinaman was seen to
climb from the enclosure upon the top
of one of the buildings and lie down.
After waiting a few seconds a bundle
apparently containing clothing, was
thrown up to him. Taking the bundle
under his arm he climbed down outside
of the enclosure and walked away.
There is hardly shadow of doubt
but that the man was in quarantine
and successfully escaped therefrom.
The worst feature of the case is this:
| While getting upon the roof, receiving
the bundle and leaving the place the
Chinaman was in plain view of the paid
guard, who was sitting about twenty
feet away and looking at him. The
thing savors of bribery.
The ladies express a willingness to
submit testimony to the Board Of
Health in regard to the matter should
| ii be required.
1t is reported, and on excellent au-
| thority, that members of a fire gang
! have taken articles from shops in
| Chinatown burned by them. There is
story of lot of undershirts from a
! Chinese shop, in which the same gang
is mentioned, that would bear investi-
cation.
The military received orders this
morning to touch nothing in the China
town district. 1t is said that not few
have eaten fruit from stores and other
sources down there, if not doing acts
worse than that. The native soldier

MORE BUILDINGS BURNED
QUITE A BLAZE ON NUUANU
STREET.
Ahlo Premises and Block Of Shacks on
Waikiki Side of Nuuanu Condemned
and Will be Destroyed.

There was quite a large Board OF
Health fire this morning, beginning
about o'clock. The buildings DESTROY
Sd included all those between the Com
mercial saloon and Kukui lane, on Nuu-
anu street, and extending back to the
middle of the block. The buildings on
the front were all two-stories and were
occupied by Japanese. Two cases of
plague We're taken from the premises.
One new building. really only partially
finished, in the yard was destroyed with
the rest.
The blaze was started in a small cot
tage in the middle of the block immedi-
ately in rear of the Gertz residence
Beretania street. From there it was al
lowed to spread gradually toward Nuu-
anu until the whole district was in
smoke. One of the Silva houses on Bere-
tania caught fire from sparks but the
blaze was quickly eXtinguished. On ac-
count of the roof of the Commercial
saloon being of very old shingles there
was some difficulty in saving it. AS
most of the former ones in Chinatown
| the fire was a very quick and hot one.
This fire, in the crowds it attracted.
was a good deal of a matinee perform
ance most of them being women and
| children. The fire could be approached
within good viewing distance from all
sides but one, and there was a good
sized crowd at every approach. The fire
engines were objects of much interest
and had constant crowds surrounding
! them, admiring their perfect machan-
| ism.
! The Board of Health will have anoth-
! er fire in Chinatown that will meet with
| popular approval. The buildings on the
| Waikiki side of Nuuanu street left
standing after the first sanitary fire
will be destroyed. Included in the lot
| are the Ahlo premises at the corner of
| Nuuanu street and Chaplain lane.
There are two buildings there, both of
which are very old and have been an
eye sore and an inconvenience for the
reason that they project into the thor
oughfare. On Chaplain lane everything
will be wiped out down to the wall Of
| Mills Institute.
The other fire in the same locality

ming at the lane into the Mechanics
Home and running down to the Mclean
block of brick buildings toward Hotel

little wood work and can be properly
fumigated.
Preparations are making today to

done gradually, one set of shacks being

-FOUR NtN PLAGUE GASES
TWO LATE YESTERDAY AND TWO
TODAY.
One Died in Detention Camp-Native
Lad succumbs-National Guardsman
With Plague-Happenin

There were two brand new cases of
plague this morning, which, with the
two of yesterday afternoon, makes four
since last report in these columns Both
OF today's patients are dead. Post NOR
TENS were held at the Board of Health
morgue and the bodies cremated.
One of the cases came from the de-
tention depot at the kerosene ware
house. The victim was taken, with the
rest of the occupants of the place. from
districts in Chinatown that have since
been burned. symptoms developed
last night and the patient died about 10
o'clock.
The mans name was All Chow, aged
about As.
Paule, native boy, aged 12, was found
dead this morning in a house back OF
Kaumakapili church. He was found by
Inspector Strauch. Dr. Howard exam
ined the body and found unmlstakable
evidence of plague. The corpse was re-
moved to the morgue where a post
mortem was held. In short time Pres
ident Wood, of the Board of Health,
gave out the information that the case
was one of plague.
About 2:50 yesterday afternoon Dr.
Howard reported to DR.. Wood that he
had just finished examining Kaanohi
native Hawaiian, a driver of one of the
eXcavator wagons, and considered the
case one of plague. The fact was COM
municated to the Board of Health later
in the afternoon. The patient is now IN
the pest hospital in a very feeble con-
dition. This is the second plague case
among the excavator drivers. third
man of the same gang has malarial
fever. There are twenty men in the de-
partment. All of these have had theiI
wages doubled and have been placed In
strict quarantine.
The Board of Health regretted eX-
ceedingly in the late afternoon to re-
| ceive reports of a case of plague in the
military on duty in Chinatown. The
man Kaanoa, a private in Company H
was taken quite i'll in the forenoon ant
was assisted by comrades to his home
in Punchbowl town. Getting worse ht
applied to DIR. Cooper at the Queens
hospital for treatment. That physician
pronounced the case one of plague anC
sent the man to the pest hospital II
Kakaako. After examination the physl
clans of the Board of Health returned
the same verdict, and at $50 Presidsn
Wood officially announced the facts.

PASSED OUT POI.
Guardsman Under Arrest for Allowing
Breach of Quarantine

A native member of the National
Guard was put under arrest this morn
ing for allowing poi to be passed out
of the quarantined district The Incl
dent was witnessed by Joseph S. An
drade who could scarcely believe the
guard had seen it. So he asked the
guard about it, the latter replied, "yes,
the woman was passing out poi to send
to her husband"
Andrade reported the matter to
George Carter who informed Col Jones
of it. The latter sent Lieut.. Tavens who
placed the guard under arrest.
A number of similar cases are alleged
to have been seen but they are not so
we'll authenticated as this one. In some
cases clothing is reported to have been
passed out of the quarantined district.
There have been a number of cases
of breaches of discipline reported
among the guard and two or three
court martials are in progress this aft
ernoon.
