Reports of Sickness at the Plantation
That do Not Explain the Nature of the Disease.

Thirty-two Japanese at Hana plantation are stricken with some sort of illness and have been isolated in a quarantined camp near the plantation. Hana is on the eastern coast of Maui, from which island there have several times come reports that indicated that plague might be there. Beyond stating that the thirty-two Japanese have some kind of fever, the reports from Hana give no particulars as to what sort of illness has developed among them. It is thought that if the doctors there had detected plague they would at once have notified Honolulu. No deaths were reported up to Saturday and the meagre information that has reached Honolulu does not state when the quarantine camp was first found necessary.
