they  were  released  from  quarantine,  and  having-  been  duly 
entered  into  the  Territory,  were,  with  the  consent  of  the  Col- 
lector of  Customs,  shipped  to  their  respective  destinations, 
that  is,  the  Island  of  Lanai  and  the  Humuula  Sheep  Station. 
The  sixteen  bulls,  which  arrived  from  New  Zealand  at  the 
same  time  with  the  sheep,  are  still  confined  at  the  Beach 
Road  quarantine  station  where  they  will  be  kept  until  March 
18,  the  requisite  quarantine  period  for  these  animals  being 
90  days  from  the  date  they  left  New  Zealand.  I have,  how- 
ever, corresponded  with  the  Chief  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal 
Industry  and  asked  if  it  would  not  be  possible  to  have  this 
quarantine  reduced  to  60  days  in  consideration  of  the  isolated 
position  of  this  Territory  stating  that  the  animals  are  in 
perfect  health  and  that  the  expenses  connected  with  the  quar- 
antine will  add  materially  to  the  already  very  considerable 
expenses  connected  with  this  importation. 
The  Beach  road  quarantine  station  was  originally  built  for 
horse  stock  only,  so  in  order  to  save  feed  a new  hay-rack 
has  been  constructed  as  it  was  impossible  for  the  bulls  to 
reach  up  to  the  racks  provided  for  horses  and  mules. 
U.  S.  FIFTH  CAVALRY  HORSES. 
As  stated  in  my  last  report  12  horses  out  of  the  502  head 
which  arrived  here  on  January  12  and  belonging  to  the  U.  S. 
Fifth  Cavalry  were  placed  in  quarantine  at  the  Quartermas- 
ter’s corrals  in  Iwilei.  One  of  these  animals  developed  pneu- 
monia and  died  on  January  18.  The  rest  have  all  recovered 
from  their  indisposition  subsequent  to  shipment  and  have  been 
released  from  quarantine  and  allowed  to  join  the  regiment  at 
Leilehua. 
On  January  17,  I went  to  Leilehua  and  in  company  with 
the  regimental  veterinary  surgeon  inspected  the  horses  which 
were  all  found  to  be  doing  well. 
POLICE  COURT. 
The  case  of  Stodard  versus  Lee  Sin,  the  latter  being  charged 
with  selling  a horse  which  he  knew  to  be  affected  with 
glandiers,  was  called  in  the  police  court  on  January  20.  I 
testified  in  behalf  of  the  prosecution  and  the  judge  reserved 
his  decision,  and,  I understand  has  called  for  a new  hearing. 
ARRIVAL  OF  LIVESTOCK. 
Since  my  last  report  there  have  only  arrived  two  horses 
for  Walter  Dillingham  and  two  horses  for  H.  Hackfeld  & 
Company;  the  former  were  quarantined  on  the  premises  of 
the  owner  and  the  latter  at  the  Beach  road  quarantine  station. 
A number  of  dogs  have  also  arrived.
