MORGAN'S WORK
At SAN FRANCISCO
ACTING GOVERNOR RECEIVES An
ACCOUNT OF RELIEF BUREAU
FOR HAWAIIANS.


received further reports from j, f. |
Morgan regarding the relief worn at /
San Francisco, together with list !
of names Of persons reported safe !
many Of the names being of persons |
already reported here In his general |
report Morgan says:
when | first arrived here, | talked
with Mr.. Fraser, and he said that it
would require several thousand dollars
to pay for the passage of those who
wished to return. OF course, this mat
ter has to be studied out and decided
as the different requests come i'm, and 1
can now say, that l think that unless
some unforeseen cases arise that l will
not be compelled to expend more than
one thousand dollars $4,000 i'm this
line. I have numerous applications to
send down families, or just the husband
and wife, but it is my policy to dis
courage emigration to Honolulu, and
get work for the man of the family
right here, or at other places ON the
mainland.
"The fact that Hawaii has contribute
ed to a fund opens an avenue for
great many to see me and insist that
their friends in Honolulu contributed to
the fund, and that they surely should
| have some of the money expended on
them. l have lately sent two families
to Portland, Oregon, where the men
were assured of work. There is con-
siderable work here, cleaning bricks
and iuTclearing debris, and work of that
nature; but as some of this is too hard
for some of the people in my care, who
wish to remain here, L am getting en-
ployment for them in Canneries and
other works of like nature.
II am sending an account of the
money / have expended, and you will
see that l have not spent great deal
in relief matters, as 1 believe in work
whenever it can be obtained.
81 do not write the names of those
whom l have assisted, as l think that
your committee is interested in the eX-
penditure of the funds in general and
a list of those helped can be sent at
some future time. On the whole, the
native Hawaiians and others from Ha-
wall, have shown desire to assist
themselves, and in most cases are will
ing to take work when offered.
by Doric yesterday, 1 received a let
ter from Mr.. L. T. Peck, Treasurer of
your committee, with enclosures
amounting to ten thousand dollars
C$1O,OOO) and asking me to disburse
said sum as follows:
TO Japanese Consul. ...............$1,25 c
To Chinese Consul. .............. $50
To Salvation Army $500
|
Il have had talk with the Japanese
Consul in regard to the number of Jap
anese in camp here and the measures
of relief etc.
There were about ten thousand af-
fected by the disaster, of which about
/ seven thousand were being taken care
of in camps. There are now in camp
here about seven hundred people, and
total of about four thousand in the
city. In camp and receiving aid, there
are from fifteen hundred to two thou
sand in Oakland and Berkeley. You
can see by this that several thousand
have gone away from the city. l was
informed that those who had left the
city had been encouraged to go to
places north that had been drawing
some of our labor away. The Japanese
