PERU At LAST IN PORT.
WAS NINE DAYS IN QUARANTINE
AT KOBE.
This was Caused by a Case of Black
Plague Among the Hongkong Steer
age Passengers.

The Pacific Mail steamship Peru ar
rived early this morning, seven days
behind schedule, due to having been
held in quarantine nine days at Kobe.
Just as she got to Kobe case, OF
the black, or bubonic, plague, which
is raging in the Orient, broke out
gers. The patient was left at Kobe
and the vessel held in quarantine.
Notwithstanding this delay she
made up two days time between Kobe
and here.
Aside from this she had an unevent-
full trip. Though she left Yokohama
June 18th, no later news of the war
had been received there, nor quite as
late as is contained in the Coast pa
pers of June 5th. Passengers and Of
ficers say that at Hongkong the in
formation was that Dewey had Manila
completely blockaded, and had pos
session of the cable between there and
kongkong. but for want of instiu-
ments and operators was unable to
use it. The Spaniards however were
unable to use it, and by reason of
the blockade are unable to commune
cate with Spain. The dispatch boat
McCulloch makes weekly trips be
tween Manila and Hongkong.
The Peru saw nothing of the
Charleston or the transports.
The Chinese on the Peru who was
taken with the plague, died Some
idea of the virulence of the disease
may he gained from the fact that
since its outbreak this year, up to the
29th, ult., there. have been 1908 cases
of plague and 1872 deaths in Formosu
| Concerning the outbreak of plague
on the seamer Peru, the Japanese

BREAKS OUT ON HER LAST TRIP
TO THE COAST.
1t was Six Hours Before II was EN-
tinguished but 1t is Believed the
Ship was Not Damaged.

There was u fire on the Moana be-
tween here and San Francisco on her
last trip.
The news of it reaches here by let
ters written by some of the passen-
gers. None of the San Francisco pa
pers yet received have anything in
regard to it.
According to the letters every eff
fort was made by the officers and the
crew to keep knowledge of the fact
from the passengers At first it WIS
attempted to smother the fire by bat
tening down the matches. But this
proving unavailng men were set to
work to eNtinguish it. So hot Was it
that the men had to work in RELAYS.
At the dinner hour. the captain. net
to alarm the passengers sent word
that he had fit of indigestion. and
so would not be at dinner. After dim
ner however some of the passengers
got glimpse of the fire through an
open hatch.
Mrs. l.. +. Tracey. who was pas
seuger by the Moana from this port,
is one who writes of the fire. She
says the blaze was discovered
in the hold and rapidly gained
headway. Every hand on board turn
ed in to fight the fire. AZ one time the
situation seemed rrecqrious indeed
and full steam WIS put on in order to
reach San Francisco before the worst
came. In six hours. however. the fire
was under control. The damage to
the hold of the vessel was thought TO
have been light.
W. G. Irwin & Co have received no
ldNices concerning the matter. so it
is probable there was no damage to
the vessel, and there will be no delay
in her sailing.

WHY NOT BUY A SINGER?

You want sewing machine? Then
why not buy a singer; there has been
more of them sold than any other
make. They wear longer, run light
er and do better work than any other
make. They have never been a cut
price machine, the workmanship on
the Singer will not admit of cut pri-
ces. A few dollars in the original
cost between a good machine and a
poor one counts for nothing. b. Ber-
gerson, agent, Bethel street.

The forfeit is $50. which he will pay.
Mr.. Wilson says j. II. was somewhat
knocked out by the sea trip from Hilo

from their agents in Manila this

\ NOVELTY SUGGESTED.
Mile Handicap for All Riders in the
Charity Meet.

Tickets for the blue ribbon meet of
cyclists for the benefit of the Red
Cross society, which will take place n
week from Saturday evening, will be
placed on sale next Monday morning.
The program of events will also be
made out early in the coming week.
mile handicap race for all wheel
men is the latest. The suggestion
comes from one of the promoters of
the blue ribbon meet and meets with
the greatest favor at all hands. Jones
would be scratch Martin and Manoa
would be given little distance and
the other riders, down to the slowest
speed merchant in the pack, would be
arranged along the track according
to their past records. The race is one
in which not only wheelmen but the
whole town will take special interest.

MORE ABOUT THE MAIL.

Several merchants feel certain that
they are out mail. One house which
usually receives about $50 letters in
an average mail was delivered only 4
from the Mohican. This showing was
experienced in several quarters. The
merchants believe that either the
Monterey or some sailing vessel will
turn up with more letters. Mr.. Oat
does not think the Monterey will have
single letter for the postoffice here.
He received no advices to that effect,
at any rate.

A PARDON WANTED
For Captain Hart, in Prison for Fill
clustering

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Senators Quay
and Penrose and Representative Bingham
of Pennsylvania called on President McKin-
ley this morning in the interest Of pardon
for Captain Hart, who Is now serving a
sentence for completely in filibustering ex-
petitions to Cuba. The President assured
them he would take the matter up when
Attorney Griggs returned next
week from New Jersey.
Secretary Alger spent an hour or more
with the President in conference upon
army matters. No important news of any
character had reached the White House up
to noon. The rumor from Mexico, by way
Of London, to the effect that Admiral Samp-
sons fleet had been destroyed and the Ad-
miral killed, was so dscredfted that it did
not create the least excitement.
The President today informed Senator
Daniel that the urgency of public business
would not permit him to accept his invita-
tion to attend the memorial day ceremonies
at Richmond.
1t was also stated that he had been forced
to decline an invitationfo attend the dedi-
cation ceremonies at the University of Vir-
ginia. He will. however, attend the me-
mortal services at the National Cemetery
at Arlington.
