COMMUNICATIONS OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
RAILROADS.
There are, according to the Statesman's Tear Book for 1893,56 miles
of railway in the islands of Hawaii, Maui, and Oahu. These roads
were built principally for the transportation of products from the interior
to the seaports.
EAILKOADS OF OAHTT.
Oahu Railroad. —This line extends from Honolulu, 19 miles, to Ewa
plantation; passing around Pearl Lochs, with a branch along the peninsula
to Pearl City, and a spur extending into a quarry at Palama.
Eoadbed good. It is proposed to run the railroad completely around
the island.
Depots.—There is an excellent depot at Honolulu; also turntable.
Stations, with suitable houses, at intervals along the line. A fine depot,
also turntable, exists at Pearl City.
Wharfage.—The company's wharf at Honolulu is 60 feet wide and
200 feet long and is ample for present needs. Products can be unloaded
directly from cars to vessels and vice versa.
Rolling stock, etc.—The rolling stock and equipments are of the most
approved and modern style.
At the port of Waianae, in northwest portion of Oahu, there are several
small railroads, in all about 4 or 5 miles, branching to plantations
in the interior and along the coast. About these there are, however,
no obtainable data.
RAILROADS OF HAWAII.
In Hawaii, from Mahukona to the Kohola district, some 15 miles of
railroad exist.

Wailuku and Kaluilui. The railway also extends 3 miles further
eastward to the sugar mills of the great plantation of Sprecklesville, in
all 13 miles.
(The distances between these places are given from the overland distance
tables in the Hawaiian Annual for 1893.)
Data concerning gauge, quantity of rolling stock, etc., as well as reliable
maps, are at present unobtainable.
RAILROADS OF KAUI.
On the island of Kaui there is (according to the Hydrographic Office
chart of Waimea Bay) a railroad from "VVaimea village to Kekaha. No
details known.

ROADS.
There are a few well-constructed roads on the Island of Oahu, leading
from Honolulu to places of interest to tourists; but in general the roads
on the island are not good, being frequently heavy with sand and
muddy in wet districts. No positive information obtainable.
TELEGRAPHS.
There are telegraphs round the island of Oahu as well as in Hawaii
and Maui. Oahu. and Hawaii are connected by telegraphic cable.
Total length of telegraphs, 250 miles.

of which 9 belong the Inter-Island Steam Navigation Company, 7 to

owners.
There are also 25 sailing vessels belonging to various firms and owners.
There are, besides, 2 steam and 6 sailing merchantmen and traders

LEPROSY.
In his report to the Hawaiian legislative assembly of 1884, the president
of the board of health makes the assertion that " Hawaii has to
meet a calamity of widespread disease. * * At least 2 per cent
of her entire native population is attacked by a fearful and supposed
incurable malady [leprosy], of an exceptioual character, that demands
separation and isolation." In the same report it is shown that the
appropriation of $90,000, for the segregation and care of lepers, voted
in 1882, for the biennial period closing March 31,1884, had fallen short
of the demands upon the health authorities. The Hawaiian law has
provided for the strict segregation of lepers since 1865, and the district
of Kalawao on Molokai, a territory of about 5,000 acres, was selected
at that time for the leper settlement.
It is asserted that up to 1882 at least, the law requiring segregation
was not carried out with vigor, but it is shown that under the partial
enforcement of the law during sixteen years prior to June 1, 1882,
2,602 cases, an average of 162-62 cases per year, had been sent to the
