FEBRUARY 9
Bubonic plague was discovered in Chinatown in December 1899. On Dec. 31, officials began a series of fires intended to destroy areas where it was believed the plague was being transmitted. On Jan. 20, one of those fires was started near Beretania Street and Nu'uanu Avenue, the wind shifted and fire crews could not control the blaze. A total of 38 acres were destroyed. Kaumakapili Church was one of the buildings destroyed that day.
