will be debarred from shipping pas

Coptic and Moana. All the other
steamers which come from San Fran

British territory, as is also Vancou-
yer, the only other port on the Coast

| TEN will be replaced by two vessels
now building for the British American
Steamship Line. The boats for which
/ Alexander & Baldwin are agents will
/ be operated as heretofore, only touch

In Quarantine.

pom Maru arrived yesterday morning
from Hongkong, Yokohama and Homo
( lulu, and went into quarantine. The
cabin passengers from China and ia
pan were released last night, but those
from Honolulu will be held at the quar-
antine station day or two longer. One
day after leaving Honolulu for this

OF typhoid fever. DIR. Kinyoun, quar-

that the Chinese did not die of the
plague. The Nippon made the run 10

Coaling the Hancock.
The coaling of the transport Han
cock yesterday was watched by good
many interested in coaling vessels.
The new electrical conveyor was used
and as 1t was not the one fitted for the
work 1t did not give the satisfaction
the regular machine would. Il was
quite while before the machine could
be speeded at the proper rate to han
die the loose coal, but when this was
regulated 1t went on with the work az
a much faster pace than the ordinary
way OF coaling by shovel.
The officers of the transport expect
to sail for Hongkong on Saturday
morning. The last time Captain
Strube was here he and DIR. McGrew
had an argument over a trade in
horses which was finally settled with
out the aid of the authorities. When
Captain Strube goes out driving now
he gets his horse at the stable.
