I rump Mt-niiicrn I'roin Jh.iii In lliun 'nil KIsIiIimmi llayi ltlarmillliv Alter ArrlVHl Here, Dr. Wood was oleotcd as presi dent pro tern, of tho Board of! Health al yostorday's mooting, tho other members present boing Dr. Dny nnd Messrs. Lansing, Brown nnd Koliipio. Agent Reynolds, Clerk Wilcox and Dr. Monsarrat wore also on Laud. Dr. Monsarrat's- reports of the slaughter bouso for tho5 week end ing April14 woro read and filed. Dr. Myors' roport showed 79 ex aminations nndor the Act to Miti gate. Inspector Koliipio reported tho examination of -10,521 fish during the past week. A number of letters woro receiv ed from Superintendent Meyer of tbo leper settlement. Ono of theso mentioned the nrrivnl of -15 head of cattlo from Hawaii on the 7th, orYi days after tho expiration ul tLu Ouuiract. He lathei thought that this was au intorforenco with the contract just made by himself and nskod tho Board to tako somo action in tho matter. Mr. Brown thought tho old con tractors bnd probably notrecoivod notice of tho making of a now one. At any rato tho cattlo should not be paid for except on tho terms of tho now contract. It was ordered that tho olork innko an investigation into tho facts of tho shipment and with hold approval of tho bill until the further order of tho Board. Dr. Mouritz wrote tho Board in regard to a roqusBt he had ro- coivoa irom ur. iiiUiors, in chargo of tho arrangements for tho forth coming Leprosy Congress to take placo in Berlin this summer. Dr. EhlerB wanted a full roport on leprosy in these islands. Dr. Wood stated that tho Medi cal Society had tho matter undor consideration -and suggested that tho matter bo referred to tho Committee on Loprosy. So ordered. "W. O. Smith wroto from Wash ington in regard to regulations proscribed by tho United States Marino Hospitnl Sorvico coucorning tho bubonio plague. Tho regulations proscribo 15 days' quarantine Tho govorninont physician at Hann, Maui, seut n roport on tho two cases of measles at that placo Cv.. -.,j. jjj, fpin CSP5 fforo not recent arrivals, having lived there nearly a yoar. Ono of the patients had received a lottor from a relative in Houolulu who was a now arrival and it was pos sible had received tho infoction by that means. A communication from Minis ter Coopor was read, stating that tho Government desired tho Board to niako ns full and com plete an investigation as possible into the origin of tho proeout out break of smallpox. Sovoral members of tho Board soomed to think thoy could not do auything moro than had been dono. Thoroy was tho positive statement of tho captain of the vosboI that tho man who had diod on board foil down tho hatchway and broke his nock. Then again there was tho fact that smallpox had broken out in spito of 1-1 days quarantine at Yokohama and 20 days on tho voyage. Dr. Day said thoro must havo boon smallpox on tho voyage. Either tho cases had boon very light and had been concealed or thore had boon deaths from the disease not roportcd. Agent Reynolds Btated that act ing undor directions of Ministor Cooper, Mr. McVeigh with tho assistance of 'Japanese officer Toma as intorpretor had already commoncod a systematic examina tion of tho immigrants as to how tho man had diod who was report ed to havo fallen off tho hatch. Up to noon ovory ono of thorn who had been questioned told the samo story. That the wcatbor boing lino a portion of tho hutch covers had 'boon romoved. Tho man was lying asloop on tho othor portion and by a sudden lurch of tho vessel -was thrown below, breakiug his nock. Mr. McVeigh thought if thoy woro not tolling tho truth thoy had nil been woll drilled to toll tho samo story. They all denied that there had beon any sickness on board. Dr. Day said that thero wore now five casos of the disease, each of whichvhad appeared within 2-1 hours of the' othor. It was beyond doubt that thoy came from a com mon source. That sourco was now either at the quarantine station or on board the ship, and it was still poBsiblo to discovor tho man. Tho Board decided to ask Mr. McVeigh to continue his investi gation and also to instruct Dr. Emorson to mako a personal .ex amination of each immigrant to eoo if ho could find any recent pits or othor signs of the disease on their bodies. Agent Reynolds in speaking of tho matter lot drop the remark that he had 6een Minister Coopor shortly beforo, nnd Mr. Brown at onco wanted to know how, when and whoro. Mr. Reynolds said that ho had roro mit to fho Castle premif-os in tho morning to see tho Ministor and get him to sign certain ueces sary papers. He had gone inside tho premises and within a very fow feot of tho Minister himself. Mr. Brown wanted to know what sort of quarantine this was when people could bo allowod to visit people in quarantine as thoy saw ht? Such a quarantine was a porfoct farce. Mr. Lansing also expressed similar viows, while drawing his ohair further away from Mr. Rey nolds. Dr. Wood, while agreeing with the othor membors that tho qua rantine should not havo boen violated, said no harm had been done bo far and could not have been. A false improssion hnd gone abroad and tho Board had beon censured for allowing thoso now in quarantine to rido about tho city in hacks. There was no daugor at all in this and for all practical purposes no quarantine at all was necessary for tho first weok. The law of smallpox wob this: That no person who hod boon exposed to the diseaso could commuuicato it to othors until ho himself first developed symptoms of the diseaso. Tho period of in cubation was from 9 to 14 days. Previous to tho ninth day it was utterly impossiblo for him to give the disease to anyone else. It was true tho infection could bo trans mitted in clothing, but not in this caB0,for all the clothing worn had boon disinfected with hot air and tho clothing thoy camo to tho city in was different from that worn during tho examination. Mr. Brown wautod to know what was tho use of any quaran tine at all undor thoso circum stances. Dr. Wood said thoro were two reasons First to bo able to keop tho partios under observation, and second to bo ablo to know thoir exact whereabouts. From the niuth to tho fourlGnntli lnv nff,- oxpoauro ovory person should bo carefully wutched and if ho show ed sjgna of tho disease isolatod and promptly treated. If all ex posed personB woro scattored about the city and thoir where abouts unknown these moasuros could not bo enforced as favorably as in quarantine. Mr. Brown insistod that ns thoro had boon communication with quarantined persons without the knowledge of tho Board it ought not to occur again oven if no damage had boon dono. Guards should bo placed to prevent it. Mr. Lansing: Will tho guards bo considered in quarantine also? Dr. Day: Cortainly, night and day. Thoy must not leavo tho promises. Dr. Day thon moved that no DOrSOn bQ nllnwnd in nnmtnntiinnta with tho officials in quarantino at J. B. Castle's residence without a permit irom tho acting prosidont of tlui Board, that tho same pre- i cuutioiiH bo carried out as at tho regular quarantino station and that guaids bo stationed both on the beach and on the Sans Souci , road. Carried. Mr. Lansing: Thori is nnothor subject wo must consider. In case of deaths nt the station what -is to be dono with the bodies? Dr. t 00(1. Iirnilllltlv! Crptnntn them. Mr. I.aiibiug: How? Dr. Wood: Thore is wood over thoro to burn. v Mr. Brown: .fls there firewood enough for the purpose? Mr. Lansing: If thore isn't thcie's plenty of coal in town and the Board's credit is good. Dr. Day: The mattor of a crematory has been considered beforo during the cholera epi demic There was a report on tho mattor, I boliovo, and nothing dono further. A crematory is a necessity. It may be needed any day. One should be built at tho quarantino station at once. I propose that wo go ahead and build it. We havo tho powor to do so as a raearfure ot public safety. Mr. Lansing: How about plans? Dr. Wood: Anyone who has ovor 6eon a crematory can draw an outliuo of it. They are very simple affairs, at leoBt thoso woro that I Raw in nso in Japan, lean furnish a plan of ono of thoRo which can be elaborated by any engineer and it won't cost much cither. On motion Dr. Wood wns in structed to confer with C. Hedo mnnn of tho Houolulu Iron Works and have plans drawn for a crom atory to bo eroded at tho quaran tino station. A communication was read from President DoIb in which ho re quested tho Board not to take any steps looking to tho trnnsfer of tho immigrants from tho quaran tino station to tho Kiuai Maru until thoy had hoard further from him. Mr. Lunsiug: I don't see that tho Boofd has anything to do with that anyhow. That is tho businoss of tho Executive or the Collector Geuoral. The Board seeming to ngreo with this view no further action waa taken. Dr. Day: Thero is a mattor 1 dosiro to bring up. It must bo ovident to evory member of tho Board that all our quarantino re gulations at tho othor ond of tho line havo failed. Wo can placo no reliance on the reports of oilicors of tramp stoatnorB, ovon when thoy aro Europeans, for thoy aro deceived by tho Japanese under them. This wns tho case with Captain Youug, and it has evon happened on regular linors. Tho Bclcic, for instance li, is patent to all of us that thoro has been smallpox on this vossel fiinco she went into quarantino at Yokohama, and yet it has boon concealed from un. Thero remains but ono thing for us to do. If wo cannot roly on tho quarantino abroad wo can on that bore. I proposo that wo longtheu tho period of quarpntiuo hero and if anything happens thou it will bo our own fault. Dr. Wood: We must protoct oursolves. It is by tho sheerest good luok that wo aro not face to tuco with a smallpox epidotnio to day, one which would havo ex tended throughout tho islands. If it had not been for tho investiga tion into tho standing of thoso immigrants by tho government thoy would have scattered small- fiox broadcast throughout tho and. We must tako no more such clmncos as these. Dr. Day: As tho Board soems to agree with mo, I will move that hereafter the period of quarantino for steerage passongors coming from infoctod ports be 18 days from tho timo of arrival, the Board to designato in oaoh instanco the place of quuraulino, oither on shipboard or elsewhere. Carried unanimously. Dr. Day: That order having been mado, what offoct will it havo on a man-of-war tho Nauiwa for instance? Tho Board decided that in case of any war vossel arriving from Japan she should bo subject to tho same period of quarantine. Sho would bo allowed to come inside tho harbor, however, as she could bo watched to bettor ndvantago than outside, ospocially at night. If thore is sickness on board on arrival, tho vessel is to remain ouUido. j Dr. Day made a short report on tne proposed buriol sito.which was referred to Agent Reynolds to as certain the exact acreage, condi tions of tho property, whether undor losao or not, etc. At 4:15 tho Board adjourned., rnu iH.uiGKANr Nic.i.tn:n HeelH With Dllllcitlllen Abntil let(liiu' Awiy lor Jnpnu. This afternoon tho captain of tho Kobe Immigration Company's steamer Kinni is waiting for out ward clearanco papers. Deputy Collector General McStockor is ready to issuo the papors when tho word comes from government headquarters. Tho mattor, how ovor, presents difficulty on both sides. Besides the CC0 odd Japa nese wouldbo immigrants rejocted and ordered returned by the samo steamer, there aro 250 stoerago pas songors outsido booked by hor for returning to Japan. Those while waiting havo to bo fed on shore by tho agents, and owing to the ship's quarantino rnncot bo placed on board. On tho part of tho Government the question arises as to tho pro priety, if thoro is international legality in it, of sendiug hundreds of peoplo aboard ship from qua rantino whoro a contagious disonso oxisls. Possibly tlm is what gave pause to Pros idont Dole, when ho asked tho Board of Hoalth in writing yesterday to do nothiug until further word from him. The Pre sident could not bo found when tho request for cloaranco papers bocamo known to the Bulletin this nfternoon. Secretary Potter of the Foreign Offico was awaiting thoPresident's return to tho Execu tive building, so as to give tho representative of tho Ivobo Immigration Co. somo definite in formation. In the meantime, after tolophouing to Minister Coopor, tho Seoretary said that tho company would havo to givo bonds for tho expenses already incurred by tho Japanese in qua rantino, and, if tho rejected immi grants wore not taken away, bonds in a greator amount for their keeping until transported by an other vessel. Tho captain is willing to receivo tho peoplo from the station aud tako chances on an outbreak of smallpox on tho passage. In riding down town with tho representative of tho Kobo Immi gr"t,r"j Co tho Ui M'tiv mrwt was informed by that gcntlomau that, on the arrival ot tno Kiuai, her officers woro confidentially questioned by tho agonts as to whethor thero had boon sickness of nny kind during the voyage. Aud tho officers assured them em phatically that thore had boon no sicknoBB whatevor. Ho thought that it was strango thit, in Oii q in previous instances, smallpox should havo dovoloped among immigrants within 48 hours after landing. It might bo that tho di seaso was latent in tho systoms of the subjects on the sea voyage, only to develop upon the chnugo of nir from ship to shore. Hauler lit Central Union.
