rrnger!t for Maul and Hawaii to
Go Into Quarantine Colbmrn Wants
Borne Modiflestion Made About Flab..
At yesterday's Boani of Health
meeting it was agreed to allow pow
der and bird shot shipped to Kauai,
on urgent represenfation Unit they
were needed.
It was pointed out that the crews of
the different island steamers were de
sirous of having poi sent them from
the steam factory of W. L. Wilcox.
The men hud been confined for some
time and sadly missed that desirable
article of food. Tare will be allowed
sent aboard the steamers, after being
steamed under the supervision of offi
cials. The meu will manufacture
their own poi.
There was only one bid for furnish
ing disinfectants, and the matter was
turned over to a committee.
On request of several firms ferti
lizer will be allowed sent to tne other
islands. As the product contains
acid, there is said to be no danger of
infection being transmitted.
Mr. Iansing favored sending all
kinds of new goods to the other isl
ands. This was allowed under L nited
States quarantine regulations. The
President and other members of the
Board did not favor the suggestion,
believing that it would be better toact
with caution in the premises.
Liquor and tobacco dealers wanted
their goods shipped. They were will
ing to have the goods go through any
amount of fumigation. Medical au
Lhority believed there would be no
dagger in shipping bonded goods from
the warehouse, barring, of course,
Japauese and Chinese merchandise.
It was voted to allow to be shipped to
other ports all goods in the custom
house warehouses bonded before Aug
ust 1st, including wines and liquors,
drawing the line at Chinese and Jap
anese articles.
Intending passengers for Hawaii
and Maui will be allowed to go into
quarantine when those at present
there leave for Kauai.
A request was received from J.
I. Dowsett to the effect that the
schooners Hecia and Rob Roy be al
lowed to go into quarantine with na
tive passengers for Molokai. Many of
these wTere very anxious to get back
home, as their families were suffering.
The matter will receive further con
sideration. President Smith announced that L.
A. Thurston had marie a proposition
that Chinese freight to arrive by the
China steamer Saturday be allowed to
be brought ashore after the necessary
precautions. It was expected that no
Japanese freight would be brought ou
account of the strict orders the agent
in Japan had received. Mr. Thurston
was of the opinion the freight could
be transferred to the Kaimiloa, Su
matra or other hulks in port and there
given a thorough fumigation. The
Chinese goods would comefi om Hong
kong, where, according to latest re
ports, no cholera existed. The Chi
nese merchants were in severe straits
for goods. The other islands wrere suf
fering as well.
The proposition of T. F. Lansing
that steps preparatory to the fumiga
tion of Chinese freight be taken was
put into the form of a motion and
carried.
A letter from J. P. Colburn regard
ing the taboo on lish was read by
President Smith. The writer spoke of
the inclination of the natives to take
fish from Nuuanu stream, which wras
declared contaminated. In view of
this fact he thought some measure
should be taken whereby the suffer
ings of tbe Hawaiians for the want of
fish could be alleviated. A modifica
tion should be made at once in the
regulation governing the taking of
products of the sea. Fish could be
easily taken from the uninfected
waters ou the other side of the island.
Fish thus taken could be subjected to
examination by medical men. The
matter will receive further attention.
After the regular meeting the Board
went into executive session.

crowded by a brilliant audience. The
performance was a success right from

The drama, of which J. Comins

on a beautiful scene, specially de
signed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones,

HOW THE CHOLERA CAME HERE,
San Francisco Quarantine Officer
Accuses the Steamer Belgic.
INVESTIGATION BK15G8 i r FACT.
Startling statement Mad.- Kefore a
Special Meeting of the California
Health Board Disinfection of Iron
Vessel 1 Puperheated Steam.
San Fkancisco, Sept. i2i!. Dr. God
frey of the United States Marine Hos
pital Service appeared by request yes
terday before a special meeting of the
Board of Health and delivered a short
address on tbe subject of cholera in
Honolulu. Some of his statements
startled the members of the Board,
and at the conclusion of his talk a
resolution was unanimously adopted
instructing the quarantine officer to
continue a strict enforcement of the
quarantine regulations.
Dr. Godfrey stated that he had been
hunting up the history of the intro
duction of cholera into Honolulu and
believed he had been successful in at
taining the facts. ,4The time occupied
by the steamer Belgic in going from
Hongkong to Honolulu," said Dr.
Godfrey, ''interfered with our five day
rule, but I can now account for that.
If the ship's surgeon had been correct
in stating that there had been no cases
of cholera on board, eleven days would
have elapsed after the ship left Hong
kong before the cholera appeared. But
I am to be supplied with evidence
showing that the deaths on board were
without doubt the result of cholera.
"The Belgic arrived at Honolulu on
August Sth and landed 550 persons,
the greater number of whom were
coolies. The followiug day two of
those landed died from cholera. The
bodies were interred on the seashore,
and only covered with one and one
half feet of sand. The waves washed
the bodies out and they were soon
food for the crabs. A native woman
eugaged in crab fishing near where
the bodies were buried was the next
victim and then the epidemic began.
"The natives refuse to furnish in
formation about their dead and when
search has been made numerous bod
ies have been found lying near the
houses of their relatives. At one
laundry, where the washing for ves
sels was done, the remains of eight
coolies who had died from cholera
were found. In the cases of the deaths
on the Belgic it was claimed by the
surgeon that one died from heart dis
ease and the other two with pneumo
nia. Affidavits are being prepared
showing that they all suffered with a
similar disease and believed to be
cholera.
"The Belgic brought 105 passengers
from Honolulu to San F'rancisco,
many of whom were Chinese. So far
as known, no harm has come from
them, but we do not know how many
germs of the terrible disease are hid
den away in tbe baggage of those
passengers. The danger line, how
ever, has been passed, I think, because
the Belgic arrived here over a mouth
ago."
Dr. Godfrey suggested that the iron
steamers be compelled to disinfect
themselves by using superheated
steam, the best and safest remedy. It
is easy for this to be done and it would
aid the quarantine officers materially.
The suggestion met with the approval
of the Board, aud tbe quarantine offi
cer was instructed to serve a suitable
notice upon the owners of steam ves
sels coming from infected ports."
OAKLAHD AND CHOI.EK
Health Board Will Make a Home to
House Canvass.
Oakland (Cal.), Sept. 20. The
Oakland Board of Health held a meet
ing last night to take some action
looking to preventive measures
against cholera. There was a report
yesterday that a case of cholera nad
been discovered, but it proved ground
less. The Board of Health did not
wish to create any unnecessary scare,
but it will probably inaugurate a
house to house canvass to see that all
sanitary measures are strictly com
plied with.

New York, Sept. 19. A special to

Report of Consul .Mills to State Depart
ment Shown a I. arse Atlownt of Tradf
Diverted From San Francisco Mas
ters May Decline to Stop at Honolulu .
tieorge Uyeurgus, proprietor of Sans
Souci, a famous summt r resort near
Honolulu, will endeavor, to make the
Hawaiian Government pay damages'
for the fifty-one days lie was com
pelled to spend in prison on a grounn
less charge of misprision of treason.
Ijycurgus arrived on t h last steamer
from Honolulu ami ex reels to leavt
tomorrow for New York. F'rom there
he will proceed to Athens, stopping
for a short time in Uont on. He will
present to the governme at of Greece
his complaints against t ae Honolulu
authorities, together wi&h iiis claim
for damages by loss of justness and
false imprisonment. He will also act
as the representative cf the other
Greek residents of Honolulu who
claim to have been injur d under the
new administration at th Islands.
The last uprising amci ; the Ha
waiian subjects, it is clfci was
conceived and put into eXfeotltfOQ by
men who made their headqnanrv (it
or near Sans Souci, and whin th?
Government troops were sem there
about seventy-five of tbe men were
quartered on Uycurgus and for four
days he was forced to provide them
with food. When the trouble was
over he was thrown into prison
charged with having knowledge of
the conspiracy and failing to report it
to the Government officials.
Lycurgus says that the charges
against him were entirely groundless,
and that those who caused his arrest
were well aware of that fact. During
his imprisonment offers were frequent
ly made, he says, to let him go free,
provided he would sign a document
releasing the Government from all
ciaims he might have by reason of hi
arrest. He refused to enter into any
such agreement.
At the time of his arrest Lycurgus
was the principal owner of the Califor
nia Wine Company, as wall as of the
resort at Sans Souci. By reason of his
arrest his business was neglected and
he was compelled to dispose of his
wine interests at a sacrafice. The re
sort lost money because of the boycott
started against him by friends of the
Government, and as a result he has
been almost ruined financially.
He complains bitterly of the treat
ment he received at the hands of the
Government officers. When arrested
at Sans Souci he was compelled to
walk to the prison at Honolulu a
distance of five miles though he of
fered to furnish his own conveyance.
While in prison be was given little
exercise and less foot!. S. V. Chroni

TRADE WITH HAWAII.
How It Baa Ite:n Diverted
FiaaeiKo
From sai
Washington, Sept. 20. A report
received at the Department of State
from Consul-General FAMa Mills at
Honolulu on the diversion of trade
from San F'raucisco to New York
states that during the six month
ended June 80, 1894, the total export
from Honolulu to the United Stat' :
were invoiced at (5,001,538 and for th
corresponding period of this year at
$4949,916 a decrease of $51,622.
Until this year all goods invoiced at
Honolulu were consigned to San Fran
cisco. During the six months ended
June 80tb last, out of $4,949,910 worth
of goods exported SI, 13-.341 worth of
sugar went to New York by way of
Cape Horn, leaving exports for six
months given to San Francisco 3,
S17,"74, as against $5,001,58 for a cor
responding period of 1894.
In consequence of the diversion of
this trade to New York the number of
American vessels leaving San F'ran

over the corresponding period of 18! 1,
