"Cerebro Spinal Meningitis.
"on August 81, Mr.. Bull, the man
ager OF the Waipahu plantation, re-
ported by telephone that several of
his mules were sick and requested
that veterinarian be sent to his
stables without delay. Az soon as
the live stock on the s. s. Lurline
had been Inspected, took an auto
mobile to Waipahu. where | found
two mules dead. one dying and two
meningitis. Both OF these animals
have since died.
Unfortunately, the true nature of
this disease is not known. but there
is every indication that 1t is not
transmissible from animal to ami.
NAL, but is of a purely endemic ma
ture: that is, the individual cases
develop from the same cause, wheth-
er this is moulded barley, as suggest
ed by some. or due to poison which
is developed in the system, as claim
ed by others. The treatment Is sim
ply dietetlc, no special remedy hav-
ing been found OF any value.
THE following day. September J.,
Messrs. Alexander G. Baldwin re-
quested that veterinarian be sent
to the Mormon settlement at Laie,
stating that they were unable to
give any definite information as to
what was the matter at that place,
the telephone being out of order and
the request having been sent by
wireless. Spspecting that 1t might
be another outbreak of the same
disease as above mentioned, went
by automobile to Laie and found
upon arrival that 1t was nothing but
simple case of collie In recently
imported mare and that the animal
had recovered before my arrival
"Importations of Live Stock.
The following live stock has ar
rived at the port OF Honolulu since
the last report, August 2:

mules, Schuman; horses, Maui Ag-
ricultural Co., W. L. Wall; bulls,

l3 crates poultry, Club Stables, W..

2 crates poultry, George Brown. Au-
gust 8. S. S. Wilhelmina-2 dogs, C.
Sullivan. Mrs. Sedgwick; crate
chickens, Club Stables. August 1G,
Bellina.
Among this shipment there We're
three horses consigned to Mr.. Chas.
Bellina which arrived unaccompa-
MED by certificate OF mallein test.
The total shipment was, however, in
charge of a regularly graduated vet
erinarian. lie stated that the three
animals In question had mot been
tested on account of injuries which
they had received while being held
awaiting shipment In Seattle, and
as long as the steamship company
was willing to accept them for ship
ment, II was taken for granted that
this was the regular course and that
the animals could be tested upon ar
rival here. The mistake rests, there
fore, not with the importer or the
shipper, but with the steamship
company, and a letter from the pres
ident OF this board to the said com
pany, calling its attention to the
violation of the rules OF this board,
would therefore seem in order. A
sketch of such letter is herewith
appended.
"The three horses were taken to
the animal quarantine station and
were week after their arrival sub
mitted to the mallein test, which
they all passed successfully. after
which they were returned to the
owner.
