CHINA AND MoANA.
The Two Steamers Due From the Coast
Today.

The China's failure to arrive this
morning led many people to think that
she had passed by Honolulu on her way
to China and Japan. Another theory
was that she had been quarantined in
San Francisco and therefore consider
ably delayed in leaving there. The
Moana, which also due today is of the
line that carries English mails, and at
this season Of the year these steamers
are very often held in San Francisco to
wait for the coming of the mails over
land. Heavy storms in the Rocky
Mountains have often caused the
through vessels for the colonies to wait
for several days for mails from the
old country
