The | loss of tourist trade means much to poor Hawalians, who sold visitors native ar- ticles and took them about the islands as guldes. “The taxpayer knows not yet the enor- mous cost entalled directly by the official scare.

D, PLAGUE STRICKEN SAN FRANCISCO That is the reason so many are and along the Western ason. In these words nds are fleeing from the plague. East who usually remain in California il a month later than they are staying this s Ivester Rogers of Albany, N. Y., explained the fact that Denver hotels and all the hotels at stopping places on the way East are now crowded from basement to the roof, whereas the rush of travel from the West does not ordinarily come until a month later than it has this year. “On the train from San Francisco,” said he at the Albany Hotel last evening, “I was surprised at the large number of those with whom I conversed who frankly admitted that they were simply fleeing from the Asiatic plague which, with- out -any doubt at all, is now to be found in San Francisco. It is true there may be only a few cases of the plague, but that there Is even one case is enough to frighten ¥ many tourists who, all their lives, heard of how deadly this plague is and how rapldly it spreads when introduced into any country. “Ev precaution is being taken, I have been informed, to guard against and even to make light of the fact that there are now cases of its spr plague in San Francisco, but just think of the mortality which would re- sult from carrying the contagion to every part of the country by tourists who have until a short time ago crowded the hostelries of the principal citles in the State. On the very train on which I came eastward there was represented almost every State east of the Missouri. If on that train or on any like train there was the least contagion the bubonic plague would spring up in practically all the principal parts of the country sim- ultaneously. The danger, though small, is great wuen the seriousness of the disease is taken into conslderation. “The authorities in all probability will stamp out what little of it there is, in San Francisco, and prevent those affected from coming into the city, but as we open our doors wider and wider to the East the danger will in- crease of allowing the plague to come in through the Golden Gate along with the commerce which comes from the same general locality as the plague.

Health Board Will Continue Disinfecting Process in That Locality. | The Board of Health held a special meeting last night and decided to begin | its official inspection of the Latin quar-| ter to-day. The session was a secret one, [ announced intention of Supervisors Mc- Carthy and Reed to oppose the granting of any further funds in a fruitless =ffort to discover the phantom plague. At its conclusion Dr. Willlamson stated that whatever was discussed did not require a vote, s0 a public meeting was not held. Health Officer Willlamson sald that the work of cleaning out Chinatown would be practically concluded this morning and a humber of the present sanitary inspectors Would be retained to visit the Latin quar- ter, which includes the district bounded | by Montgomery avenue, Sacramento street and the bay. The tactics employed | in Chinatown will be modified to a con- siderable extent, but the residents of that locality will be required to place their dwellings in a sanitary condition. Chloride of lime will be freely spread in the dis- ct. Asked as to how many lay inspect- | ors would be retained to carry on the work Dr. Willlamson replied that he was | ot prepared to say. There will be n don established in the district and dur- 1&g the process of disinfeetion the resi- depts will be allowed to come and go. Some of the inspectors will be imme- dtately set to work posting notices in all the underground lodgings_of Chinatown in accordance with a resolution recently passed by the board suppressing them. Fhe notice, which is signed by the Health Officer and secretary of the borrd, Is as follows: ““Occupants of this basement are here- by notified that the Board of Health has decided that hereafter no persons will be B 3 T i e am one of the number.”—Denver Re- allowed to sleep in underground lodgings. You must therefore move out of this pla within ten days.” Dr. Kellogg, bacterislogist of the board, | will present a report this morning re- | garding the suspected cases of two | Chinamen who were cremated last week at Odd Fellows' Cemetery.

About 150 men have been inoculated with | serum during the past week. According | to the Board of Health rules intending | passengers for outside islands must take this treatment, which has been very suc- cessful thus far. Quarantine was declared off at Kihei, Maui, on the 14th, just before the steamer Pathfinder left, and business is going on | as It was before the plague scare began. At Kahulul it is reported that there have been no cases since the death of 1ss English, which occurred on February 25. | It will be some time before Kahului is done with quarantine, however, as a de- cision has been reached that the quaran- tine shall last for thirty days after the last case. There is a week more of quar- antine ahead for Kahulul therefore. ;LANS FOR ENLARGING LOCAL NORMAL SCHOOL At a meet'ng of the Board of Trustees of the San Francisco State Normal School held on Monday evening in the office of H.

'The tug was on her way to Kneiss’ shipyard to tow down a small scinooner, but somehow Captain Lucht got in among the Union Iron Works slips. The tide was falling, and before he knew what had happened the Amella was hard and fast on the ways laid down for one of the new torpedo- boats. An upright piece of timber driven as a gulde when the ways were being built held the tug upright for nearly hall an hour, but when the tide left her high and dry the strain became too great and the upright snapped. The Amelia then rolled over and over and finally landed in the mud at the bottom of the bay. An attempt will be made to get her up m-d.f" Alec Helman, a sailor, lost his n the bay yesterday mormgg. He was _re- covering from a protracted spree, and in company with John Tufkala went down to the steamer Del Norte to look for a job. He sat down on the rall of the vessel, and losing his balance fell backward into the bay. In his fall he struck his head against the side of the ship and sank as soon as he entered the water. Late in the after- noon the body was recovered and taken to_the Morgue. ‘Eddlie Poole, a son of Sergeant Poole of A.ns!l Island, nearly lost his life through a desire to be first ashore from the steamer Grace Barton yesterday.

In the first place, it is sald on all sldes that Kirkman is not that kind of | a man, and again, that discourtesy of the | kind alleged is not fit grounds for a court- | martial. That there was some friction between the Archbishop and the major- even before the transport left this port is | well known. Archbishop Chapelle, with three priests, one of whom was Father McKinnon, went down to the islands on the Sherman. The Sherman, | besides some casual troops, carried a bat- talion of the Forty-ninth Infantry, under | command of Major Kirkman, who was senfor officer on board and consequently in command. Just before the Sherman left the” dock Archbishop Chapelle, with his attendants, came on board, and after looking around, he selected the quarters of the commanding officer, Major Kirk- man’s stateroom and office, and took pos- session. His baggage was moved in at once and he made himself comfortable. Major Kirkman was busy with the work of ‘feltl the troops assigned to 1“&\'1!?! and the hundred and one other things at- tendant upon the salling of a transport, and he did not see what was going on un- til just as the lines were cast off. When the last person left him he was on his way to order the Archbishop's baggage to be removed to the quarters provided for him and he himself notified that he would have to vacate the quarters of the com- manding officer. ‘What happened after that is not known here, for e ship drew out into the stream, and whatever else passed was on blue water; nor has any one who was on board on that trip returned to tell. It is certain, however, that between the Arch- bishop and the major there was a coolness that made Intercourse between them only of the most formal kind, and it may be that there was some incident which has called for a court-martial, but it is not believed that the reason alleged is the true one. Orders for the men to leave for Manila on the Grant are beginning to appear. She will sail on the 1st, or perhaps on Satur- day next, with elghty Hospital Corps men, a number of acting assistant surgeons and some recruits. Among the sur%ons to go on the Grant will be Captain William i.. Kneedler, who has been executive officer of the hospital ship Missourl, and First Lieutenant Douglass F. Duval, assistant surgeon, and Acting Assistant 8 Johm 3. Rellly, both of whom have been on the Missouri. In the cases of Captain Kneedler and Lieutenant Duval it is or- dered that they proceed to Manila for duty while awaiting the return to that ort of the Missourl. This would indicate hat the Missourl 1s destined soon to be on her way westward, but the Govern- ment telanarhed yesterday that all work on was to be sto; , so it does not look as if she wer: to leave very soon.
