Buford Here for
the First Time
Measles
A Complication Over
the Pearl Harbor
Contract.
TT HE United States army transport
Buford arrived from San Fraucis-
a co yesterday afternoon, having


sailed from that port on the 1st
instant. 1t was expected that she
would make the trip in better time
than she did, and when she did not ar
rive here on Sunday or Monday people
thought that perhaps she did not get
away on the 1st as she had expected
This is the first time that the Blu
ford has been in this port. She is not
a very large vessel, but she is fine
appearing boat, and presented a hand
some picture coming into the harbor,
bright in a new coat of paint, and
looking altogether clean and attract
i've.
There sWas the usual large crowd on
the wharf to welcome a transport. She
came into Navy slip No. 1, DOW fore
most, and now lies within a barge-s
width srom the transport Garonne,
from Nagasaki, which is also in Navy
slip No. l.
There was some delay in getting the
gangway rugged, after the vessel had
locked. 1t seemed that there We're
measles and mumps aboard, and that
the ship was in quarantine. No one
was allowed on the transport except 4
officials whose business took them
aboard
The majority of the troops on the
ship We're allowed ashore, however,
and as the first of them came onto
the wharf very peculiar order was
issued. This order was that the crowd
was to keep back so that the people of
Honolulu would not run any risk of
taking measles or mumps from the SOL
diers. People on the wharf who were
DESTROYS of getting aboard remarked
on the apparent inconsistency of the
authorities in this matter People were
not allowed aboard, yet hundreds of
troops were allowed ashore, although
it seemed, according to The orders Civ
en- the guards, that an attempt was
to be made to prevent anyone in Ho
noluu from touching or going near one
of the soldiers after they had landed.
The Buford brought fifty-six sacks
of mail, and two days later news. She
is bound for Manila, via Guam. There
are 1873 men of the Fifteenth Cavalry,
Troops c and D. aboard the Buford,
