STEAMER CENTENNIAL.
Maui Hopes for Direc. Communlca
ton With the Coast.


Under date of Feb. 18th letter
from Maui states:
The arrival of the steamer Centen-
NAL, Captain Eagles, on the 9th, may
mark an epoch in the commercial his
tory of the Island. There Is a report
that Maui is soon to have direct steam
communication, twice month, be-
tween Kahului and San Francisco.
Such an arrangement has not as yet
been definitely made, but it Is hoped
soon will be. To be sure Maui people
have had the use of a Coast steamer
before, the old Kahului, or Cleveland;
but she was old and slow and much
smaller than the Centennial, whose
capacity is LISA tons, which has just
made the trip in eight and one-half
days. Then, too, the interior of the
Centennial 10 beautifully fttod and fur
nished with fine accommodations for
passengers. Her passenger list this
trip numbered nine, among whom was
w. III. Chickering, Esq, the San Fran
cisco attorney of the Hawaiian Com
mercial Company. Mr.. Chickering Wis
its the Island simply for pleasure.
The steamer is consigned to the firm
of Alexander & Baldwin and is loaded
deep in the water with merchandise
for Kahului Railroad Co., Kihei,
Spreckelsville, Paia and Hamakuapoko
plantations.
