The Battleship Oregon.

SodiiiiS- his -WOuIQ nave Deen very
evident to anybody within a reasona-
| BILE distance of the warship. All of
her officers and men were hard at
work, and every one of them was
pretty well covered with coal dust. No
shore liberty will be allowed until the
coaling has been accomplished
TheN sea was rather rough, and the
work of putting the coal aboard was
no easy task. The barges plunged ana
strained at their fastenings, and every
now and then line would part. or
one or the other of he barges would
ship a sea.
1t is. expected that the Oregon will
get away for San Francisco on We'd
nesday next. Tomorrow it is antici-
pated that many visitors will be re-
ceived on board and allowed to Inspect
the vessel. The Young Brothers viii
run launches in the afternoon every
fifteen minutes or so for the accommo-
dation of the public.
Yesterday $50, 900 in coin was taken
aboard the Oregon for the purpose of
paying the men. Each man will prob
ably be paid one months wages. They
will be permitted ashore before the
ship sails.

The steamer Mauna Loa, Captain
Simerson, arrived yesterday morning
from Lahaina, Maalaea, Kona and
Kau. She has aboard three japanese.
who We're picked up in the middle of
the Hawaii channel
When they We're first seen by the
Mauna Loa they made no signal of |
nor can it be said that the
Mauna Lea grescued the trio |
Ihey Were in a goodsized Japanese |
sampan at the time, and had plenty of |
provisions aboard. Nevertheless. they
requested to be taken aboard the Maui
ma Loa whent the steamer approaehed..
within hailing distance. They said that
they wanted their boat taken aboard I
also, SO it was pulled up on deck.
PurSer Simerson made an attempf to
ascertain why the japanese came to
De so far away from shore in so frail
craft The Japanese would have very
little to say however. One of the men
vent SO Iar as to say that they had
gone IN theIf boat from Hama, Maui.
o Maalaea, and from there had sailed
away in their boat again They seemed
anxious to get to Honolulu, and did
lot want to return to Maui or Hal
vail.
1t is thought possible that the Ian +
lnese found it 'unhealthful for them
u Hama or Maalaea, and thought It
wise TO hasten to Honolulu. They were
maze TO pay ~ each for their passage

or the transportation of their sampan.
