On  March  1st  the  S.  S.  “Arizonan”  arrived  with  79  horses  for 
the  Fifth  Cavalry.  All  of  these  animals  had  been  mallein  tested 
before  shipment  from  San  Francisco  and  were  accompanied  by 
certificates  approved  by  the  Federal  inspector  of  that  port.  They 
were  furthermore  in  charge  of  one  of  the  veterinarians  of  the 
Fifth  Cavalry  who  reported  that  no  sickness  had  occurred  among 
the  animals  since  they  left  San  Francisco.  Only  two  of  them 
showed  slight  symptoms  of  shipping  fever  and  these  two  have 
been  segregated  at  the  quartermaster’s  corral  in  Iwilei.  The  re- 
maining 77  head  are  also  kept  at  the  same  place  where  they  will 
be  kept  for  a few  days  previous  to  being  taken  to  Leilehua  where 
they  will  be  kept  segregated  for  the  required  quarantine  period. 
The  same  steamer  brought  four  race  horses  consigned  to 
Domingo  Ferreira.  They  were  taken  to  the  quarantine  station 
on  the  Beach  road. 
On  the  2d  inst.  the  U.  S.  Transport  “Dix”  arrived  with  475 
horses  and  mules  intended  for  the  Philippine  Islands.  The  ani- 
mals were  unloaded  and  taken  to  the  quartermaster’s  corral  in 
Iwilei  for  a few  days’  rest  while  the  transport  is  taking  on  coal. 
All  of  these  animals  had  been  mallein  tested  before  shipment  and 
the  accompanying  quartermaster  veterinarian  stated  that  no  sick- 
ness had  occurred  among  them  since  they  left  Seattle. 
Very  respectfully, 
Victor  A.  Norgaard, 
Territorial  Veterinarian.
