BLACK PLAGUE IS SPREADING Important Nfws From Honolulu Brought By the Doyo Mam. ENTIRE GROUP IS SUFFERING Threatened 1'prlslng uf the Japs and Chinese In Honolulu Owing to the Destruction of Their l'ro)crty. The Jupan-ae trump steamer I)oyo Muru, which la being detained In quar antine in the lower harbor, brings Im portant nus of the plague In Honolu lu. In addition to the plague new from that city, the iJoyo Maru also brings u report to the effect that th black pliigU'i bna broken out In nearly all ut the important cities of the Isl and in the group, and that the death rate, ul the time of h"r departure, had grown to ularmlng proportion. Honolulu la rousing Itself to the lunger It runa from rata, animals w hich, by common consent of scientific men, are the moft c-rtuln agent for the dissemination of the bubonic plague. Rata take the plague taally und carry it for a connld-rahle time be fore they die. After being stricken Ih y retire to their hob s, where they bide for days until pain and terror drive them out to court Ihe society of human beinga. They enter kitchens when- cooking la going on; they usek occupied bd at night; they get under fool In one'a drawing room; they enter the nurseries w h' re children play. In thl slag'! of the dlncanc Infection goi-a wilh them like an atmosphere. When deud and not desiroed by human be ings, they are likely to be eaten by roving members of their own iecbs, thua Increasing rat mortality, or they may l e eaten by the family pet cat. An ollii er on the Doyo Maru ex presses Ihe opinion that ro long as rat are In a city every one will be in dan ger. In his opinion the only safeguard Is to get ihe rats out of the way. They must v killed, he say?, lo keep the pestilence from travelling Into the pri vacy of home und into the publicity of stores. At the same time one must h ive a care, In killing and disposing ot them, not to run the risk of catching Ihe disease by contact. "However," sas the othevr, "there Is more risk in leaving Hie rata alone tha'i to kill and destroy them. The only thing to do If they are to remove the present tllgbl from Honolulu is to begin a cru sude ttgalnst the dangerous rodents and keei it up until the ordinary house rats are as scurce as white mice. Then Honolulu may bccln to breaths freely. " The people of Kobe have long been suffering from Ihe same plague. They huve struck at the root of the problem by entering upon a crusade uniiist the rodent which Infest the clly. The best results were hud by putting rough on rats on bits of raw fresh meat. The meat was a temptation the rats could not resist; the poison drove them out of the houses to the rain puddles, streams, oien Kcweis and taps In scanh of wilier where they died and were gatherd und burled In pools of kerosene. It la Interesting to note that a dead rat. before being taken up on a shovel, was entirely etnered with quicklime." According to reports which come by the Doyo Maru considerable appre hension was felt 111 Honolulu, about tlio time of her departure, c incoming the attitude of the Japanese und Ctii nette population. As a pre-autton against Ihe further spread of the plague the entire Asiatic quarter of the illy -.tns destroyed by lire in the latter part of January, by order of the local board of h"alth. rend.iing nearly 8000 Asiatics homeless and without shelter. From the lent information obtainable the city iiuthcrltit s faded to provide accommodations for those w hose homes had been destroyed, and wide-spread tli.tcontent resulted. For many days the while reiidents of Honolulu were In constant fear of an uprising among the Japs anJ Chinese and nn organ ised movement was set on foot to ask the government nt Washington to pro vide troops FUlliclent to c pe will) ny poslble emergency. It is believed that the war department Is already In pos sesion of the facts nnd has the matter under consideration. One of the greatest misfortunes to befall those in the Chinese and Japan ese quarters was the destruction of the hundreds of business establishments, thus depriving a large portion of the population of all means, of gaining a livelihood, ns well as taking away their homes The latter phase, It ap pears. Is the basis of more wide-spread complaint than all else, as scores of the merchants affected by this de struction of property arc possessed of much wealth nnd huve an Incalculable amount of Influence over those of their own nationality throughout the city, and the Island, as well. At the time the Doyo Maru left Hon olulu the authorities had succeeded in getting the plague well In hand and the number of deaths were gradually growing less. With few exceptions, the fatalities have been confined to the Asiatic population. A prominent physician was the last of the. Ameri can element to fall a victim. The Doyo Maru will probably be de tained Ir. quarantine several days long er, although the process of fumigation has already been completed. THIRTY-EIGTH STREET IM PROVEMENT.
