city will be gone ahead with at once,
and some five hundred workers are
to tackle the proposition Non-com-
missiOned officers will act as lunas,
and every square foot of swamp land
will be taken care of.
The situation is thought to be well
in hand now, and the united action
of the citizens is bearing good fruit,
say those in position to know.
There was some anxiety expressed
yesterday, when it was noised around
that the labOrers had gone on strike.
These men We're given one and one
half dollars a day at first. They then
struck for two dollars, and as the
work was urgent, they got what they
demanded. They then declined to
work at all, as they claimed that the
cutting down of trees was too siren
uous for them.
A large supply Of knives, axes and
hoes has been sent down to Kalihi,
and the work Of clearing the infected
locality is being rapidly completed.
The fumigation is being proceeded
with and where, in the past, ten
pounds Of sulphur used to be burned
twenty-five pounds of the stuff is now
being used When the houses were
opened up yesterday careful inspec-
ton was made. Lizards, scorpions,
rats and mosquitoes We're found in
large numbers. The fumigation has
accounted for bushels of mosquitoes
that were driven into the houses
when the work Of clearing the shrubs
was begun.
Permission has been given to use
Judge Dole's former chambers in the
judiciary building for a storehouse.

other in a few days. This will be the
battle or army flag of the republic,
under which the revolutionists have
fought their battles and under which
it seems probable that the victorious
army will soon enter the Forbidden
