Mrs. M. S. Levy, wife of the well-known rabbi of this city, left for Ho
nolulu yesterday on the steamship Aujtralla for the purpose of visiting and
nursing her son Herman, who was reported on the 1st of March last to har
contracted bubonic plague. The family of the roune man h h in - '

Rabbi Ifcvy la indignant because of Dr. Hoffmann's forgetfulness and
more eo over the uncharitable and brutal way his son has been treated by
the Health Department of Honolulu. Iq an interview last night he expressed
hU opinion that there was no plague in Honolulu, and that the scare was
brought about so that certain officials could lay their "claws like vul'ures"
upon the go.d set aside for the purpose of protecting the city from the
dread disease.
"On the 1st of March." he said. "It was reported that my eon Herman
was suspected of having bubonic plague. On that occasion I received a
note from Dr. Hoffmann, chief of staff of the Board of Health of Honolulu
informing me of the condition of my. son, his temperature, pulse and respira
tion, -all of which were of an alarming character. He further volunteered
the statement that he would keep me well informed as to the condition or
my son on each and every outgoing steamer. This he has failed to do. By
reason of an article which appeared in The Call of last week, wherein It
wao 'ir.i iuai .rum imormauon mey Had received and from interviews
that had been pub.lshed from prominent business men of Honolulu, it would
appear that there has never been a genuine case of bubonic plague In the
city of Honolulu, and that the wiiole scare was a fake.

The following Is taken from the
Maui News:
Sheriff Baldwin returned to Wailu
ku from Lahalna on Wednesday night,
.eaving everything quiet here. The
Kaanapali Japanese have returned to
work, but the Lahaina contingent are
still out. Tbey have formulated six
teen different complaints, and it u a
poor day when they do not formulate
another. Most of tnese are boiu ridic
ulous and untenable. The Lahaina
plantation see ma to be willing to meet
the Japanese half-way in an reason
able complaints, but of course cannot
concede the many absurd claims
of the Japs. A few days since, the La
halna Japanese ordered tne represent
ative of the Honolulu Japanese Consul
to leave their camp. The Lahaina Jap
anese are etlll on a strike and the Pio
neer mill is idle.
While th News is not vet fully In
possession of the Inside facts relative
to the strike al Lahalna, yet from pres
ent developments, it seems that there
are some wrongs to be righted in favor
of the Japanese. However, that is no
excuse for the lawless proceedings that
have marked their conduct during tne
last few days, and if it becomes neces

The late.st news from Maul is that
Lhe strike at Lxhalna and Olowalu has
broken out again. Last Saturday af

the gang3 at Lahaina spoke to the
overseer or tne gang, saying some
thing about quitting work at, three
o'clock. The luna told him that he
would do nothing of the kind, and
that the laborers would continue at
work until four o'clock, as usual. The
fellow to'.d his mates, and the entire
gang quitted work, went into town.
procured a gong, and went about beat
ing it. They sent word to the other
gangs, including tho? at Olowalu,
and the whole crowd of Japanese left

but on the fifteenth of the following
month. One Japanese at Olowalu
brought suit to have his contract can
celled on the ground that the planta
tlon had violated its terms by with
holding his pay for two weeks after
the end of tne month. The Judge
ordered his contract cancelled, and
fined the manager fifty dollars to be
served out at hard labor If he did not
pay. The plantation appealed to
Judge Kalua. The case came up Sat
urday at Lahaina and was postponed
until Wednesday. It is understood
that this Is a test case.
In the original strike at Lahalna,
the Japanese demanded that the doc
tor, the timekeeper, and certain lunas
should be dismissed; that there thouid
be a coxpensation of five thousand
dollars paid to the relatives of each
of the Japanese who were crushed
under some machinery that fell down
a couple of week ago; that another
five thousand dollars should 1e paid

of typhoid fever; that they should quit
work at 3 o clock on Saturdays; and
that they should be paid at the end of
the month. All the men who struck In
