difficulties developed over some bills
for merchandise purchased here which
the former local agents of his vessel
declined to pay. Inc prospective diff
iCulties lie in an investigation being
made by custom house officials of the
captains right to take passengers from
this port without entering his vessel
at the custom house. There is fine
of 500 for captains who do this.
A local commission house acted as
agents of the Belgian King before she
was chartered by the United States
Government. When he arrived in port
Captain Weiss thought that this firm
would still consider themselves agents
for the vessel. He made a number of
purchases here and sent the bills to the
office of Alexander e Baldwin. The
latter promptly had the bills redeliver-
ed to the captain, notifying him that
they had nothing to do with the Bel
gian King as long as Uncle Sam had
her. This is the rule followed by all
shipping agencies, army transports be-
ing regarded as Government property
while they are under charter. For a
time Captain Weiss had visions of
legal proceedings by the firms he had
dealt with to get their money before
he left, but he made a trip up town
and was able to settle accounts for
| himself though he is reported to have
had to do some lively work to get
money for the unexpected draft upon
/ him.
The taking of a passenger from this
! port without proper entry being made
! is a violation of local passport laws
which are supposed to be familiar to
all captains that come here. Trans
ports are allowed to come and go as
war vessels are making no entries at
! the custom house. it being presumed
! that they will receive no passengers.
| +. p. Colvin of this city left yesterday
on the Belgian King as a passenger
for Manila. but there is no record of
such a fact at the custom house. The
matter is being investigated with a
view to ascertaining whether Mr.. Col
wins business is such as to allow him
to leave in such a way. The law allows
men in the army service to leave with
! out passports.

craft from the boat landing but when
he arrived the policemen on board re-
fused to let Mr.. Doyle go on board.
The order had gone forth that there
must be no visitors on the yacht with
out a permit from the marshal. The
commodore and his guest returned to
shore and secured the necessary per-
nit. The vessel is in custody of the
police and it was deemed necessary for
her protection and safety that rules
for visiting her be made.
