WANT TO GO STEERAGE
Upwards of stxty-flvo names havo
been obtained to a petition protesting
against the regulations In forco in con
nection with steerage passengers of tho
Australia. Tho active agents in getting
up this petition nro a number of men
who camo down steerage on tho Aus
tralia and now wnnt to go back steer
age. Tho steamship company refuses to
accept steerage passengers. Ono of the
men who seek theso accommodations
and tho cheaper passago rate, said this
morning:
"Tho most unreasonable phase of tho
mnttcr Is:
"A person can report to tho Health
Department of tho American Consul's
office a given number of times nnd will
then be given a bill of health; he pre
sents it to the steamship company and
they will consider tho person healthy
and all right to go It ho asks for a cab
in passago; but It ho asks for steerage
passago he is considered as sick and
they enn't tnko him steerage. Then
ngnln, the first class passengers are
crowded down into tho steerage and
nro steerage passengers, but that Is all
right and they still retain their good
health, according to the view of .the
company."
, Consul General Haywood was seen
about the matter this afternoon and,
In defining tho position ot tho Con
sulate had tho following to say:
"The law of tho United States in re-
gard to passengers Is not based on a
illniltini InM liAtntnnn tnnnln lint liatwnnn I

formed by us as to what the law Is and
wo havo further Informed them that'
they must comply with it.
"When theso men you speak about

had told them they could go in tho
steerage of tho Australia so far as they
wero concerned but that wo had for
bidden such a proceeding, I went over

LEVY IS VERY COMFORTABLE
Suspect From Hawaiian Hotel Speaks

quite comfortable today. Yong
Look Is very low today. Ho Is
in an apathetic condition and

tel must bo under observation
by a physician for fifteen days.
Case of Hermann Levy.
Herman Levy, clerk of tho Hawaiian
Hotel, was removed to tho plnguo hos
pital shortly after midnight last night.
Ho had been sick for n couple of days
but not until last night was his caso
considered suspicious. Two bottles of
the pest fluid wero Injected into tho
patient. Speaking ot Lovy's caso this
afternoon Dr. Wood said:
"I saw Mr. Levy at about 11 a. m. to
day. Ho was conscious and no worse.
I had qulto n talk with him. No, he Is
not despondent but ho is ot a very
nervous temperament. The enso Is
considered very suspicious. Whero
Levy contracted the disease, if he has
It, is hard to say. Ho has been sick
two days. On tho day of tho Hotel
stables flro ho was not feeling well.
"Tho cottage on tho Alakea sldo of
the hotel proper is guarded but nothing
will be dono with this until it is
demonstrated beyond n doubt that
Levy has plague. It was in tho middlo
room ot this cottago that Levy was
taken from. Tho only other occupant
of tho placo was the nurse.
"I locked nnd scaled Levy's room
myself. No, I do not think thcro is
any necessity of quarantining tho
whole hotel.
"Dctwccn Levy's cottage and tho
kitchen Is another small cottago but
this has not been used since tho day
of tho Hotel stables Arc."
