Japan, was sighted of waimanalo. At
half past one O'Clock she anchored on
port while DR.. Wood gave her a thor
ough oyerhauling Not long afterward
she entered the harbor and moored
alongside the quarantine wharf. In ac-
cordance with Board OF Health regua-
tons, since she halls from ports where
the bubonic plague is prevalent.
The Hongkong Maru brought eight
cabin passengers for Honolulu and
about twenty Chinese and three Jap
anese in the steerage, carrying some
thing over two hundred Orlentals for
San Francisco. Passengers for this
port were landed last evening.
The first thing this morning the
Maru will come up to the Pacific Mail
wharf and discharge her $40 tons OF
general Oriental merchandise for Ho-
nolulu. AS soon as she can land this
she will get away for San Francisco,
leaving probably about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, although it is thought that
It will be later than that when she is
ready to go.
A good many persons have already
booked passage to the Coast by the
steamer. The Hongkong Maru brought
no papers from Japan this trip. For
some reason or other none came aboard
in Yokohama. She left Yokohama on
the 18th and experienced an uneventful
voyage here.
The probabilities are that the steam
ships of the Togo Kisen Kaisha line
will continue to make Honolulu port
Df call after June 18th, as heretofore.
Even though they cannot engage in To-
cal American traffic. they will continue
to do tremendous business for the
Japanese government, and it is eX
Dected that the United States mail will
also continue to be carried by these
boats.

Captain William James McCloud, who
recently came down here from San
Francisco to take command of the Am
erican ship Henry b. Hyde, expects |
that when he sails that vessel out o! |
port with over four thousand bags |
sugar for New York, in a couple OF
weeks from now, he will also take |
along with him sweetness in another |
form than that of a sugar cargo. IN
other words, the gallant captain Will
take unto himself a wife, well known |
ady of this city, before venturing on
the voyage round the Horn. Captain |
McCloud has a pain in his right wrist
rs the result of a general nandshaking
with his brother navigators.
Captain Scribner, who formerly was
master of the Henry b. Hyde, returns
to the Coast on the Hongkong Maru
this afternoon.
lrig Tanner Wrecked.
SEATTLE, (Wash.), May 15.-The
American brig Tanner one of the old
est vessels in the lumber employ on
the Coast, went ashore two miles be-
low Point Wilson this evening, at 6
o'clock, and there is no prospect that
she will be other than total loss. The
vessel was undertaken under spe-
rial charter for Cape Nome, and had
been at anchor at Port Townsend sew
eral days, preparatory to starting on
the long voyage north.
1t was reported that the vessel was
leaking badly, but this assertion is
denied. The vessel started to sea in
tow of the tug Vigilant about o'clock
today. The tug dropped her well
down the straits and returned here to
earn that her tow had in the interim
apparently put about and came back
Up the straits to the point where she is
low marooned, with no possibility OF
escape.
She went aground on the rocky
beach at exactly high tide, and the ris
ng western wind makes her chance of
escape very small. The wrecked vessel
