ARMY OFFICIALS
ARE VERY MAD
They Complain Bitterly of the
Honolulu Board of
Health.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Indignation
prevails in army circles over the treat
ment of the transport fitzpatrick by
the Board of Health of Honolulu.
So strong is the feeling created that
if the friends of the officers and men
on board the transport could have their
way the local Board of Health of Hon
'oluiu would be abolished and a Federal
quarantine would take its place. The
Fitzpatrick, which was bound from San
Francisco with $40 regulars and forty
women and children aboard, reported
at Honolulu that she had two mild
cases of smallpox aboard. She was or
dered to lie outside the reef at the local
quarantine, which is a hot berth. In
order to give the men q chance to
breaths fresh air and get a little exer-
else General Sanger, nspector-general,
who was senior officer aboard, asked
permission for the troops to disembark
and go into camp at an isolated point
several miles from the city. He agreed
to thoroughly fumigate the clothes of
the men and to keep them under strict
guard, so as to prevent stragglers While
on the Journey and to station double
Gordon around the camp so as to pre-
vent any of the men from stealing into
the city. The Honolulu Board of Health
was however, memorable, and the
ships passengers were compelled to re-
main aboard and swelter while the
transport was taking on coal and sup
plies. The action of the Board of
Health is indorsed by the city. which
within the past two years has passed
through an epidemic of the bubonic
plague and cholera, and other residents
recalled the dreadful mortality suffer-
ed when the smallpox prevailed. In
view of the precautions which the army
detachment agreed to take, and the
further fact that the two cases OF
smallpox were mild, the refusal OF
the Board of Health to grant permits
sion to land is deeply regretted in army
circles, and has been the subject of bit
ter comment.

ent during portion of the last con-
ference No decision was arrived at,
but it is understood that Mr.. Morgan
had been appealed to in cable dis
patch
Late in the evening it was learned
that after the conference between the
representative of the different North
ern Pacific interests held at the office
of J. P Morgan & Co, prolonged
conference was attended by Hartman,
Hill and Henry W. Cannon of the
Chase National Bank. 1t is under
stood that all efforts up to a late hour
tonight to arrive at an agreement in
Narfhern Pacific matters have failed.
NEW YORK, May according to
the London correspondent of the Trib-
une the American revel in speculation,
with details of vast fortunes made in the
course of a few weeks, continue to fasci-
nate and perplex Englishmen. The hold
ings of English investors in the proper
ties which have. been making a meteoric
passage across the Western sky were
disposed of long ago. There has been
little speculation in London in Ameri-
can securities, and the market quota
tons have risen automatically in re-
sponse to Wall street prices. English
speclllators have kept out of the Amer
lean market because they did not under
stand what was going on and had no
faith that the rise in values would be
permanent They have not made any
thing out of the American market, and
every other market has been stagnant
since the opening of the Boer war.
If American prosperity be an inexpl1-
cable marvel to Englishmen, j. Pierpont
Morgan is in the inscrutable mystery
His name is connected daily with one
stllpendous operation after another UNI
til the British public is prepared to ac-
cent any half-penny fiction about him.
