tf'rom Wednesdays Daily.
No deaths. no cases and no suspicion
eases was the clean record fof the
plague situation yesterday. Every ei.
fort possible IL being made to trace the
source OF infection In Mondays three
fatal plague cases. Theories have
been advanced, but no absolute certain
~ has as yet been arrived at The
buildings condemned on Monday by the
Board were burned early yesterday, the
house back OF the coal-sheds formerly
occupied by the Hawaiian-C Chinese
woman and the two houses OF the
South Sea Island settlement, In the
rear OF the Opera House.
II seemed to be the general expecta-
ton that yesterday wou be a clear
day. as the previous history OF the
plague here has led people to antici-
pate clean day, or several OF them,
after each black record day. There
we're sentiments OF this nature over
heard on the street and at the Board
of Health headquarters. Were IL not
that Mondays cases were so separated
from each other and their histories ap-
that the commencement of another ten
or twelve days clean record was at
hand.

President Wood then went into the
history of the All Hung case, the China
man who was taken from the Hotel
stables Monday morning and who died
at the pest house later In the day. Very
little light had been thrown on the sub
ject, 1t was almost impossible at that
time to determine the source of infec-
ton. The symptoms in this case SEEM
ed to point toward Infection through
foodstuffs though that could not be
stated definitely.

DR.. Woods Opinion.
IT was President Woods opinion that
the observation-disclosures woman had most
likelv taken the disease through her
hands or fingers. The indications
seemed IN point that way. Whether
the Infection was on the premises or
elsewhere was matter that had not
yet been determined. She had probably
been handling something In which
bacilli were present. The two China
men very possibly had contracted the
plague through something they had
eater In the case OF All Chong he
may have caught the disease from
