THE SMALL POX At UHIJE
ONE OF THE PORTO RICANs NOW
IN QUARANTINE.
Three Physicians think that He Is
Affected With the Disease-News
Brought by Mikahala Today.

If the advices brought this morning
| by the steamer Mikahala prove correct
smallpox has broken out among the
| Porto Rican laborers at the Lihue
/ Plantation on Kauai. Information up
on the subject is quite vague and little
| beyond the merest report that sup
posed case of the disease had been dts
covered could be obtained by Purser
Ferguson.
The first intimaton of the supposed
existence of the disease was received
yesterday morning while the Mikahala
was lying at Makaweli. Purser Fergu-
son heard that the smallpox had brok-
en- out among the Porto kicans at the
Lihue plantation. At frs the rumors
were of the widest character, one being
to the effect that there had been "A
death from the disease. Ferguson Sc
cured telephone communication how
ever with the plantation and was in
formed that only one case had been
discovered and the physicians were not
positive about it being smallpox. One
of the male Porto Ricans was taken
down with disease which was thought
to be smallpox. The regular physician
at the plantation had consulted with
two other doctors and all three were OF
the opinion that the Porto Rican had
the smallpox. The patient was placed
in quarantine to await the development
of the malady.
ANp pNiiti liloi NOulN Dt Bdlntu
at the time that Ferguson telephoned
but inasmuch as nothing was said to
indicate that there had been any deaths
or that any other suspicious cases had
been discovered be got the impression
that there was only one case under
investigation. When the case was dis
covered was not learned.
Ferguson wanted to learn some more
facts regarding the disease before the
steamer left for Honolulu last evening
so he tried to secure additional telepho-
mic communication with Lihue but
could not, owing to the telephone line
being out of order. The officers of the
steamer James Makee which was at
Kapaa last night tried to get into COM
munication with Lihue but were un-
able to do so owing to the break in the
telephone service.
How the Porto Rican could have con-
tracted the disease is not clear. It is
thought that he was not one of the
last shipment of laborers who arrived
on the Zealandia last Sunday. The Fe-
deral quarantine officers had heard
nothing of the suspected case at Lihue
but expressed the opinion that 1t was
not smallpox but chicken-poX which
/ the man had.

/ win confirms the report brought by the
! Mkahala The stricken Porto Rican Is
not one of the last lot brought by the
Zealandia, but is one of a former lot
/ brought some time ago.

FOUNTAIN PEN SCHEME DowNED
IN THE HOUSE.
Kaulia Gets Bill Through Under
Difficulties-Use of Hawaiian Lam

Representative Kauir1akeouli this
morning introduced in the House a
resolution instructing the sergeant at

fountain pen. The resolution was greet
ed with enthusiasm by many members,
but it was laughed down and finally
voted down.
Kumulae spoke for the resolution and
others shouted for it. Kumulae said
the pens would save ink and that the
Senators were enjoying such pens while
several members who had never owned
a fountain pen rubbed their hands in
pleased anticipation.
Hoogs proposed two fountains pens
and followed with a resolution that
each member be given house and lot.
Monsarat wrote out a resolution and
sent it to the secretary, instructing the
Sergeant-at-arm to supply members
with chewing gum. Kawaihoa said the
pens would cost $100 at least and the
pen proposition was voted down.
Chairman Beckley of the committee
on Health and Education presented a
big bundle of reports. On the petition
