The Maui is alongside the Mauna
Ala in the stream this morning, dis
charging $500 bags of sugar. The
schooner Moi Wahine is also discharg-
ing into the Mauna Ala. Tomorrow
the bark will come into Wilder's
wharf, where sufficient sugar to COM
plete her cargo awaits her.
The American ship Iroquois, Captain
| Taylor, arrived this morning, 10 days

and has come to load sugar for New

by his wife, and has w. r. Mclean as

day night from the Orient, and sailed
again at o'clock last night. after dis
charging 200 tons of freight, and put
ting ashore Cos japanese laborers. She
was in quarantine while in port, be-
cause of a case of measles in the steer
age. A large number of cabin passen-
gers joined her here.
| The Albert is at the Inter Island
wharf, taking 5000 bags of sugar from

The Hitchcock is alongside the Mail
dock, receiving sugar from the Clau-
dine, and the Hyde is taking sugar at
the railroad wharf. There has been
some dispute over which was to load
first, as the Hitchcock. although she
arrived a day ahead of the Hyde, was
not ready to go on the berth first, be-
cause of leak. Thus far it looks as
if Capt. Gates has won the dispute.
He will get away, according to pres
ent calculations, fully a fortnight
ahead of the Hyde
Captain Perry has found that it will
be necessary to take all the sugar out
of the Arago after all, in order to do
the necessary repairing. He has no
small task before him, but hopes 10
complete the job in six weeks, after
which the same sugar will go back in
again. Captain Perry is the principal
owner in the vessel, and was to have
taken her when she reached San Fran
cleo. No blame is attached to Captain
Greenleaf for the disaster, as the fault
lay in the construction of the vessel.
The sugar is coming out in fine con-
dition confirming the prediction of
Captain Green leaf that the only dam
age in the hold would be in the vi
entity of the broken masts.
