CREW OF THE STEAMER MOKOLII
REFUSE DUTY.
Demand the Removal of Mate Kapala.
Captain Bennett and his Employ
ers Ignorant of the Cause.

The seven native sailors, who make
up the crew of the little Wilder Com
pany's steamer Mokolii, failed to re-
port for duty this morning. Instead,
they went to the company's Office and
announced their intention of remain
ing ashore so long as the mate, Ka-
pala, goes to sea in the steamer. AS
kapala has been in the employ of the
company a long time, and has the
confidence of his employers, it is prob
able that warrants will be sworn out
this afternoon for the seven sailors,
charging them with mutiny.
What grievance the sailors have
against Kapala no one seems to know,
except, perhaps, the sailors, and they
will not tell. Secretary Rose of the
company said this morning that he
has, thus far, been unable to fathom
the mystery. Captain Bennett, master
of the steamer, said that he could
learn nothing, and Mate Kapala pro-
fesses to be as much in the dark as
his superiors. Kapala has been two
years in the MoKolii, and during that
entire time, so far as can be learned
he had no trouble whatever with the
men who now rebel against him.
I% The mutineersNdave all been in the
yMokolii about five years. They have
had plenty to eat and no more work
than is ordinarily required of sail
or on an island steamer. During the
last voyage there was no trouble on
board. The men were paid off Satur
day night, as usual, and said not q
word about remaining ashore. Wher
they failed to report for duty this
morning Captain Bennett did no'
know what to make of it. He never
guessed that there was a mutiny on
until the shipping master visited thu
steamer about Q o'clock and stated
that the crew were all at the Office
demanding the dismissal of Mate Ka
pala.
''I declare" said Captain Bennett
this morning, Il am more puzzled
than any one else to know why tn,
men have deserted. Since L have beer
in the vessel there has been no sus
picion of trouble on board. The mat
and the crew have worked togethe
for long time, and I have never evel
heard growl from them. I am in
clined to think that some outside in
fiuences have been at work on then
When the shipping master came t
me, told him to cause the arrest a
once of every man who refused t
turn to. They are all good men, an
I dislike to let them go, but we ca
easily pick up another crew, and W
must have order and obedience Will

CHRISTIAN WORK IN CHINA
COLLEGES OR. UNIVERSITIES IN
CANTON.
Seventy Five Thousand Communi-
cants and Christian Community
of Nearly Half a Million.

Rev. w. S. Ament, a prominent
clergyman of Peking, accompanied by
Mrs. Ament, are the guests of Mr..
and Mrs. W. A. Bowen. They arrived
on the steamer China, and will prob.
ably take the next Pacific Mail steam
ship for the United States.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Ament
spoke before a large congregation in
Central Union Church, and in the ev-
ening at the Christian Church. Mrs.
Ament made some very interesting
remarks at the Central Union Chris
tian Endeavor meeting in the even
ing.
Mr.. Ament began his address at
Central Union Church by stating that
stranger visiting Honolulu would
have too vivid impressions made upon
his mind. 1. The vast extent and va
riety of the philanthropic educational
and religious work carried on here.
Perhaps no city in the world of the
size of Honolulu. can show such an ar
ray of work undertaken and achieved.
2. The strategic importance of these
islands. Until one studies carefully
tion which these Islands bear to the
whole Eastern. world, to Australia
and America.
Mr.. Ament continued:
Snow that steam has practically
annihilated distance, the connection
between these Islands and China will
grow more intimate. China has come
out upon the stage of action. She is
like drowsy giant just arousing
from his sleep. who has rather blum
dered upon the stage than come forth
intelligently.
'Peking is now one of the storm
centers of the political world. The
secretary of the Austrian Legation.
which has just established itself in
Peking, said that Peking was 'an inn
portant point of observation China
has learned but few lessons from the
war with Japan. Commerce teaches
the Cinnamon but little. Travel
against foreigners was written by
Chinaman who had been around the
world. Little can be said of the pro-
gressve spirit of Ii Hung Chang,
though he is the best known living
Chinese.
"After the war with Japan he rec
Z commended the Emperor to create an
other god of war, co-equal with the
d present god, Kuan I'll. No wonder that
foreigners are discouraged about
progress in China. There is even talk
of the dismemberment of the Empire,
and maps are drawn. showing to what
nations portion are TO go. But these
people understand not the Chinese
nature. The Chinese have never been
may be necessary to become worse
before they can be better. They must
learn that there is no hope in nation
al regeneration except, first, in
change of character. The heart must
be changed before the head.
"Now what has Christianity done
for the Chinese, and what can Chris
tianity do? During the last twenty
years the number of Christian com
municants has grown from 10000 to
$4,000, with Christian community of
nearly half a million. Christian coll
leges or universities are found in Cam
ton, Foo Chow, Shanghai, Hong Chow,
