WITH THE DREAD
SIGNAL OF DISEASE
Transport Sheridan Arrives With
Smallpox Aboard and is
Guaranteed.

With the dread signal of disease fly
! Sheridan arrived from San Francisco
about o'clock yesterday morning. The
vessel came up to Navy wharf No. l
displaying the yellow flag, but after DR..
| Cofer had made his inspection, he or
dered the Sheridan into quarantine,
and she accordingly backed out of the
Sip and anchored in the stream off the
Inter-Island wharf.
The trouble was that case of small
pox developed aboard the transport on
the second day out. The victim was a
| negro soldier and he was nearly con-
valescent when the Sheridan arrived.
his attack having been a mild one.
The sick man was removed to the
quarantine station, as were a few re-
crufts for the local garrison and a num-
Der of suspects. They will have to I'M
dergo the customary two weeks quar-
antine. None of the troops were allow
ed ashore yesterday, but the officers
and cabin passengers came and went
with freedom.
The transport will get away just as
soon as she has taken on coal and wa
ter, but will not be permitted to dock.
nor will the rank and file of the troops
aboard be allowed to see the sights of
Honolulu other than from the vessels
decks.
The Sheridan brought three days
later news and mail. The latter was
sent ashore about noon, and was not
fumigated, this course being declared
unnecessary by the authorities on ac-
count of the vessels matches having
been kept closed since leaving San
Francisco.
There are 1874 enlisted men on board
the big white vessel, including the en-
tire regiment of the Twenty-ninth In
fantry with band and headquarters,
under the command of Lieutenant
Colonel Forbes. Captain Bush of the
Artillery Corps is in charge of $50 re-
cruits going to join regiments now in
the Philippines and there are also $50
marines aboard, commanded by Major
Murphy.
Among the passengers for Manila is
Judge Amber, prominent lawyer of
Salem, Ohio, and a personal friend of
the late President Mckinley.
Lieutenant Colonel ]. L. Chamberlain,
the Inspector General. was passenger
