WHAT THE NEW OCEANIC BOATS
WILL DO.
Leviathans to Speed over the Colonial
Route-Irwin & Co. Learn of the
New Steamers.

Further information has arrived in
regard to the new steamers to be built
for the Oceanic Steamship Company to
ply between San Francisco, Honolulu
and the Colonies. There will be two
or three of these leviathans, and they
will be built as quickly as possible.
1t is learned that the vessels will be
of 5000 tons burden, or considerably
larger than the China, and will have a
straight speed of II knots. They will
make the voyage between San Fran
cisco and Honolulu in little over five
days, and will considerably reduce the
time to the colonies.
The appointments of the vessels will
be the very finest in the world. The
company has decided to spare no ex~
pense in this matter. 1t is the deter
mination to make the globe trotter as
comfortable on the Pacific as he is on
the Atlantic.
Whether there will be two or three o.
these boats is not definitely known by
William G. Irwin & Co. here. 1t Is
stated that John d. Spreckels, who is
east on this business, spoke at the
Cramps ship yard for three docks,
which would seem to indicate that
three vessels had been decided upon.
The ships will be siste RS, counterparts
all through and will fly the American
flag.
that the scheme to enlarge and put
| new engines into the Mariposa and
Alameda will not await the compile
tion of the big boats. In fact this will
! be undertaken very soon now. One
boat will be laid up at a time. The
Australia will take her run to the Col
| onies, and the Zealandia will resume
| the Island route. When the Islands
come under American laws the Moana
will probably go out of the business,
being an English boat and unable to
ply between San Francisco and Homo
| lulu. This will probably not be before
next year, however.
Few people realize the advance right
at hand in the steamship business of
] the Pacific, with Honolulu in the mid
| die of the traffic. The new ships of
the Pacific Mail Company, now build
ing, will be larger and as fast as the
greyhounds of the Atlantic, and all the
| luXuriousness and comfort of a voy-
| age from New York to England will be
brought right home to Island people
1t is stated that the running speed OF
| the Mail boats will be 1S knots, which
| VIII bring them to Honolulu in four
days and sixteen to twenty hours. This
will not beat the cable, but will get
away with Ivanhoe and anything else
on this ocean.

SAY THE RoANoKE's SUPPLY is
BAD.
Ships and Army officers Satisfied
But the Men Appeal to the Board of
Health.

The greatest excitement and appre-
hension prevailed among the soldiers
on the Roanoke this afternoon, Just
prior to the sailing of the vessel.
They were fully persuaded that the
meat on board intended for their con-
sumption was bad, and some of them
were almost in a panic of consterna-
ton at the idea of starting out on a
twenty or twenty-five days sea voy-
age with such meat as they believed
was aboard to eat. A delegation Of
them called up the board of health of
ficer and asked that an inspector be
sent down to inspect the meat before
the vessel sailed.
The officers of the ship and most of
the army officers aboard asserted
that there was but one quality of meat
aboard and that as they would have to
eat it too, they were as much interest
ed in it's quality as the soldiers could
be, and they were satisfied.
r. X. James, the chief steward, IN
sisted that the complaints were ubso-
lutely groundless. He opened the ice
chests of the ship and showed that they
had been refilled with ice and avpiy
precaution taken to insure good quail
ty of fresh provisions. Practically a
full supply of fresh meat for the on
tire voyage had been taken on at San
Francisco. When the vessel arrived
here he had it taken to cold storage
to give an opportunity to thoroughly
clean out the ships refrigerators and
refill them with ice. AS further ore
caution twelve steers and large num-
Der of sheep were brought along to be
slaughtered as they were needed.
On the Roanoke the soldiers, unlike
those on previous transports, have
staterooms and eat at the tables in the
ships dining room. They have table
cloths and the regular ships table
ware.
There were kicks on the way down
among the soldiers at the fare provid-
ed the principal kick being that the
food was not thoroughly cooked. Lieu
tenant Bambilla, who is in command
of the soldiers, and is highly respected
by them, said that in one or two in.
stances the objection was we'll foun-
ded but was due to exceptional Circum.
stances, not likely to occur often.
The appeal to the board of health
was made so soon before the sailing OF
the vessel that it was impossible Il
send an inspector to the vessel. An III
spection however was made by a com
mittee partly of officers of the ship ant
partly of army officers.

OPPORTUNITY TO SEIZE THE
REINS OF EMPIRE.
On Strict Construction Her Republl-
can Club, Together with Tim Muir
rays are the whole Thing"

1t looks as if Hilo had the opportu-
nifty of her life-Hilo and Tim Muir
rays Republican club.
There is a call for a meeting tonight
to make nominations for a Hawaiian
Islands vice president and committee
man for the League of Republican
Clubs. That is an organization which
is just what its name implies, league
of Republican clubs, not a league of
Republicans. AS the only Republican
clubs in the Islands are the one or
ganized over at Hilo last summer and
the one organized two weeks ago by
Tim Murray, members of those two
clubs would seem to be the only ones
eligible, under the League organiza-
tion, to participate in the meeting. At
least that is the way it has been fig
ured out. In any event there are nice
enough questions of organization in it
to give an opportunity for practice in
political handicraft and management
of political gatherings.
The League of Republican Clubs is
an organization separate and distinct
from the Republican party organlza-
ton, and in no way represented in the
latter. In fact the Republican Nation
al committee has been very careful
never to recognize it in any way eX-
cept as an organization outside the
party organization, in the same way
as it has recognized the Union League
clubs of various cities.
When the Islands were annexed the
central organization of the league, as
compliment to d possible new state,
appointed a vice president and a com
mitteeman for the Islands. But the
Republican National committee, which
is the central organization of the Re
publican party never took any acton
in the matter
Another source of confusion as to
what the meeting is called for and
Just who will be entitled to participate
in it, arises from the indefiniteness of
the call. The title National Republi
can League Clubs" is used. None of
the politicians ever heard of that or
ganization before, and though they
suppose it means the League of Re
publican Clubs. they are not sure but
| it may be a new baseball organization

day there will probably be a consid-
| cradle attendance of those who go tC

CHINESE NOT SENT AWAY
THEY WE'RE FULLY INFORMED
OF THEIR RIGHTS.
Those Who Went Back to China Have
Lost No Rights, but May Return at
Any Time.

II did not send any Chinese away on
the Coptic, nor on any other vessel"
said Agent Joshua *. Brown this
morning. My duties under my in
structions are to keep Chinese out who
are not within the law as 1t is given
to me. Neither the fifteen who went
back on the CoptiC nor the one who
went to Australia, nor the one who
went to jail for smuggling, was sent
away from the quarantine station, or
from Hawaiian waters by me.
when Chinese were refused a land
ing by me under my instructions, they
We're explicitly informed that they had
a right to appeal to the treasury de-
partment. They were also told that it
would take at least four weeks for the
appeal to go to Washington, be acted
on, and the decision to reach here.
They were told upon which steamers
the steamship company would take
them back to China free of charge.
and that If the treasury department
decided that permits such as theirs
were valid, their right to come in aL
some future time would not be affect
ed. A bond was required of those who
appealed, simply to cover the cost Of
their maintenance, which has been
kept down as low as possible Such
bond was necessary to protect all par
ties concerned the Hawaiian govern
ment, the United States government,
and the steamship company. AS l un-
derstand it, under the decision of the
treasury, those bonds are now dis
charged, and the bondsmen will not
| have to pay anything, though l do not
know who will have to pay the cost of
maintenance.
Some of the Chinese decided at first
that they would not appeal, but would
go back. Afterwards some of these
changed their minds and did appeal,
and they were given every opportunity
and facility for doing so. The fifteen
who went back on the Coptic did so by
their own decision. Whether they de-
cded that way because they could not
give the required bond or afford the
expense of an appeal or not, l do not
know. But they have not lost their
| right to come here and land. They can
| come any time they choose to if their
| permits are in conformity with the
! Hawaiian statutes.
Everything was done that could be
! done to reduce the hardship of the sit
| uation. For instance about fifteen out
| of the 140 are actually now ashore.
| These are such as became sick. When
ever physician certified that the
health of one of them was being i'm
| paired by confinement at the quaran-
! tine station, or that proper medical at
| tendance could not be secured there,
he was taken where the desired medi-
cal attendance could be secured. Some
| of these fifteen are at the hospital and
some are with friends in the city.
! mo one is more pleased than / am
with the decision of the treasury de-
! partment."

SPURIOUS MONEY AGAIN
BOGUS QUARTERS APPEAR IN
NUMBERS.
Counterfeit is Almost Perfect, Being
Detected Only by the Ring-City is
Full of the Cheat.

Some excitement has been created in
business circles in the past few days
by the appearance of spurious Hawaji-
an twenty-five cent pieces. The coins
look precisely like the genuine and are
a fine cheat. The only difference to be
detected at once is the ring, the bogus
article having none whatever. EX-
perts say that the coins are made of
lead and frightened with a silver coat
ing. They are evidently made in the
states and are being worked off here
by sharpeTs.
OF the appearance of the coin George
Ashley said this morning: Il do not
think a large number of the coins can
yet be afloat for we have taken none
in at the bank to my knowledge. OF
course they may have come in and been
paid out the same day. 1t is certain
thGt If they were let loose in very
large numbers they would find their
way into this bank. We would certain
ly set some of them"
About hundred of the spurious pie
ces have been found without much
trouble. The only way to detect them
is by the sound, and few people stop
to try that
The police have information about
the matter and are on the qui vive. In
the meantime it is best to be careful
