SCHOONER UNA
MAY NOW ENTER
Collector Wise Receives
Instructions From
Washington.
Some New Complications Over
the Bill of Health of the
Vessel.
Captain Harkins May Find Himself
Liable to a Fine OF Pivs Thou
sand Dollars.

The troubles of Captain Harkins of the
American schooner Una, who sailed his
vessel out of the harbor of Panama sew
eral weeks ego without clearance papers,
and who was refused entry at this port
because of his lack of the proper docu-
ments, are practically over, but he still
has one complication to face.
Collector Wise received letter from
the Treasury Department yesterday in
answer to telegram explaining the mat
ter, stating that the vessel might be al
lowed TO enter here as though she had
her papers. The captains affidavit rela-
tive to the reasons for his leaving Panama
so hurriedly is now on the way to Wash
ington In company with detailed COM
m1nication from Collector Wise.
Thus far the vessel is out of difficulties,
but 1T appears that the Consul neglec cted
or refused-it is uncertain which-to issue
q clean bill of health TO the Una, and this
matter will be the subject of further cor
respondence between the Collector and
the department.
The penalty for leaving port of q for
eign country and entering one within the
jurisdiction of the United States without
the bill OF health is 5000, and unless CAP
tain Harkins can show tnal he had some
good excuse for leaving without the pre-
cious clean till he may be compelled to
pay the piper.
Captain HarEins and the owners and
agents of the Una insist that lie took the
only course left him to escape an unjust
i'm prisonment in a Columbian dungeon
and possible confiscatlon OF his vessel.
He knew that efforts were being made 10
have him thrown into Jail on a trumped-
up charge so that the freight on q cargo of
mahogany logs he had brought to Panama
from South American port might be
saved to its owners and he asked for his
papers from the American Consul
the latter feared 10 comply with the re-
quest and tod the skipper so, but advised
him that he was getting into dangerous
position and had better haul up his anchor
and fly. Harkins asked Tor his bill OF
health, but could not get it and slipped
out OF the harbor before the authorizes
were aware of his intention.
He WAS chased by Columbian gunboat
that pottered after him for day, but he
finally got out of danger.
His cargo OF logs, minus an owner, can
now be discharged here, but Captain Har-
kins will have 10 remain in port until the
bill of health matter is settled.

on board was unresponsive, however, and
the men were apparently of the same
mind as the man who remarked, as the
vessel moved from Main-street wharf,

and hope I'll never see San Francisco

run to Levuka in about sixty days. In

Fifteen dogs and two cats formed part
of the belongings of the colonists. They
say that later on they will get all the cows
and horses they want from Australia, but
their object at the present time is to find
their land and build their homes. They

learned Yesterday not a man among them
has ever seen the Southern Seas or has
any idea as to the difficulties to be en-
countereu. They look for a new Arcadia.
However many may suffer, Manager
Reinhart certainly will not. He is about
$1,000 ahead on tse venture and as soon as
he lands his men on Funafuti he will at
once return TO San Francisco for q second
batch of colonists.
