SIBERIA HAD
HAD SMALLPOX
VESSEL ARRIVED OFF PORT LAST
NIGHT FROM THE ORIENT
WILL SAIL TOMORROW.

The S. S. Siberia arrived off the port
last night at o'clock from the Orient
with a record of one death and one
case of smallpox since she left Hong
Kong. The vessel left Yokohama for
Honolulu and San Francisco March
IA, One day before she reached that
port a case of smallpox was discov red
in the Chinese steerage The patient
was put ashore and the passengers and
others aboard were vaccinated. Other
precautions were taken with the YES
sci. She was two days at Yokohama.
On March 10 a second case appeared in
the Chinese steerage. The patient
died the following day and was buried
at sea.
Dr. Cofer the head of the local qua
! rantine service, decided that the YES
sci would have to go into quarantine.
In addition to the Asiatic steerage
there We're IA cabin for Honolulu and Il
large number of through cabin pas
sengers for San Francisco 1t was de-
| cided that all of the ste rage and crew
should go to Quarantine Island while
the quarters on the Siberia were being
disinfected. The ste rage passengers
for Honolulu will be kept in quaran-
tine IA days. Nobody was permitted
ashore from the vessel today and the
not been decided by Dr. Golfer up to
the time of going to press.
In event of the vaccination having
taken with the local passeng RS, they
will be permitted ashore but should the
vaccination not having taken, those
passengers will be required to remain
at Quarantine Island until their status
as healthy people be determined. The
through cabin passengers will be al
lowed ashore. Conditions may change
with the vessel however during the af-
ternoon and night so that DR.. Golfer
may decide not to permit through ca
bin passengers ashore.
The vessel has about 800 tons of
freight for this port. She will come
into the harbor tomorrow morning
about o'clock and go to the Hackfeld
wharf where she will discharge cargo.
She will sail about 4 or o'clock tOmor-
row Afternoon for San Francisco. Ca
bin passengers booked for her from HO-
nOlulu will be permitted to take pas
sage by the vessel Unless some ad-
ditional case of smallpox appears be-
tween Honolulu and San Francisco it
is probable that there will be little de-
lay for the cabin passengers at San
Francisco. The mail will no doubt,
be sent by the Siberia as che will ar
rive at San Francisco ahead of the
battleship Oregon.
The Siberia makes the second vessel
from the Orient that has arrived here
recently with small pox. The Coptic

evidenaly originated in Hong Kong
where there have been quite number
of cases recently
Ter are hero and heroine of the second
set. He plays the Yankee war artist
Rupert Drum, as the rebel spy, was
powerful, splendid. Place and Lowell
appeared to good advantage. Louise
Orendorf, as an elderly maiden lady of
the South, was every bit the character
The enthusiastic reception given each
player at the outset, and the applause
which followed each one off the stage
spoke eloquently for the estimation in
which the Buhlers are held here.
Between acts Ernest Kaais must
clans fascinated all with the witchng
harmony of stringed instruments.
Dainty little maidens in white sailor
costumes acted as ushers and program
A large number of boys
from the Oregon attended the play.
