MANY STEAMERS AND TRANS
PORTS FROM THE COAST,
Vessels Will Arrive at Interval of two
to Four Days Apart-Fourteen Boats
Coming.

Honolulu will have no cause for COM
plant over communication with the
mainland this month. More mail steam
ships and transports will stop here dur
ing April than has been known in many
months. No less than seven regular
mail steamships are scheduled to arrive
and in addition, there are seven trans
ports which will also touch he"e en-
route to the Philippines. The sailing
time of the various vessels so falls as
not to bring any Of the vessels here on
the same date, with perhaps two ex-
ceptions. The result is that the arri-
walls of the various boats is we'll dis
tributed throughout the month and a
steamer should arrive at intervals of
from two to four days. The longest
wait will occur between the 10Th, and
the 23rd as no vessel is scheduled to
reach here then.
The first vessel due is the Sonoma.
Owing to the delay in the arrival of the
English mails at San Francisco she was
not expected to leave the Coast until
the night of March 18th. Inasmuch as
her sailing time is about six days she
Will probably not reach here until the
afternoon unless it is desired to make a
quicker run than usual. She was sche-
duled for the End but waited two days.
Following the Sonoma will come the
Gaelic on Saturday, the 9Th. She may
even be sighted tomorrow afternoon but
generally Captain Finch comes into
port early on the morning of schedule
/ time. The Buford, with troops for Ma
/ Mia was scheduled to leave San Fran
cisco April 1st giving her eight days
! in which to make the run, she should
arrive on Tuesday, the 9th. A seven
days run would bring her here on Mon
! day. The Mariposa is due on the 18th
and the Miowera from Victoria and the
| transport Kirkpatrick on the 18th also.
! The Kirkpatrick and the Miowera will
! probably duplicate each other as both
will leave on the 5th although if the
/ transport makes the run in seven days
she will reach here on the 18th, with
i four days later mail than that brought
/ by the Buford. The Mariposa ought ia
bring one days later mail and news
than the Kirkpatrick as she leaves Sar
Francisco on the 9Th
On the 18th, the Hong Kong Maru
many reach here from the Coast with
about three days later news and mail
She is scheduled to reach here on the
18th, but she will probably come in the
afternoon of the 18th.
The transport Ohio Is to leave Sar
Francisco on the Sth. She is a new yes
sci which has been specially chartered
by the government and may be able t,
make the run in less than the usua
transport time so she may arrive ever
earlier than the 18th
Unless some vessel not scheduled
should arrive, there will be no more
mail or news from the outside worlt
until the 23rd. when the transport Bo
gan should arrive. She is scheduled t,
leave San Francisco on the 18th. Th
Ventura is due on the 23rd but as sh
leaves San Francisco later than III,
Logan she will bring later files anC
mail The China is due on the oath
The last boat of the month will prob
ably be the transport Thomas. She /
scheduled to leave San Francisco oi
the 25th, and ought to get here on tn
9th or 2Sth.
In addition to these vessels the trans
por Arab with horses will leave Sal
Francisco the early part of the month
The sailing time of the transports ma
, vary some what so it is possible tina
some of them may arrive earlier tina
the dates given. In some cases ma
may not be placed aboard them bu
I every boat will probably carry tn
( latest papers obtainable up to thei
v respective departures.
