Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1911-01-05

One or more cases of unmistakable
smallpox discovered on board the T..
s. army transport Logan, which pass
ed through Honolulu on December 13,
is said to have prevented that vessel
from making her usual call at the iso-
lated island Of Guam, according to a
report brought to this port by the
arrival Of the trcopship Sheridan last
night.
The Sheridan, from Manila by way
of Nagasaki, Japan, was in wireless
communication with the Logan on
December 20, at which time the Phil
ippine bound transport reported the
presence of infectious disease on
board. 1t is known that when leav-
ing Honolulu the Logan had one or
more naval passengers for Guam, as
well as a quantity of provisions and
supplies. The Logan was to bring
Christmas cheer to the far away pos
session OF Tn lie Sam. 1t is under
stood that the Federal authorities or
dered the Logan to proceed to Mari
veles, the Philippine quarantine sta
ton. thereby emitting Guam as a
port CT call on that trip.
The Sheriden, at Alakea wharf,
shows evidences of an encounter with
very rough weather after leaving Ma
gasaki The wind and seas combined
to make the earlier portion of the
voyage anything bat a pleasant one.
Christmas was celebrated by sc
first, 80 second-cabin passengers and
671 troops and civilians in a man
ner worthy of a party of Americans
with a prospect of soon regaining the
homeland. A Christmas tree was pro-
vided for the colony of little folk who
ale on board.
The following day, however, one
death occurred, that OF j. H. Maeder,
who went out to the Philippines dur
ing the early days of campaigning
in 1898. Meader let the volunteer
army and entered commercial life. OF
late years he has been assO 1iatel with
several large steamship companies
and agencies. Prior to leaving Ma
Mia, Maeder oificiated as shipping
manager for MacOndray & Co., a
large San Francisco commission firm
with extensive agencies in the Phil
ippines. Death was due to tubercu
lCsis. The remains will be turned
over to relatives on the Pacific Coast
upon arrival of the transport at San
Francisco.
1t did net take long to discharge
between ten and twenty tons of
freight for Honolulu this morning.
1t is the intention to give the troop
ship prompt dispatch and the Sher-
idan is scheduled to sail for San
Francisco at 8 o'clock.
The Sheridan is fast establishing
a reputation as having the finest
wireless apparatus of any vessel in
the quartermaster feet The vessel
was in communication with Kahuku
station five days ago and on her pres
ent voyage her wireless received and
sent messages at a distance of about
fifteen hundred miles.
The New Year was ushered in upon
the transport with considerable cele-
bration upon the part of the passen-
gers.
In addition to a number of officers
and civilian employees of the Federal
government departing from Honolulu,
there will be nearly one hundred cas-.
uals connected with various branches
of the army and navy who will sail
for the mainland by the vessel.
