The Colon Arrives
With Porto
Ricans.
America Maru From
Orient Ahead of
Time.

m HE steamship America MarI sur
prised everybody by arriving Il
port at an early nour yesterda,
morning. She was not due unit
to-day, and it was not expected tina
she would make port before yesterda.
AFTERNOON AT first it was thought tina
there must be some urgent reason 70
the vessels quick trip, but her officer
claimed that good weather and ;
smooth sea were responsible for tn
time made.
The America had a long list o
through passengers, and there Were
two people to stop over here. Sh'
brought over six hundred tons O
freight for Honolulu.
The Maru sailed from Hong Kong
on the 23d of last month. She left Yok-
ohama on the 4th instant. She got
away for San Francisco last night
taking mail.
A Bunch of Stowaways.
Stowaways, even if nothing else good
can be said of them, certainly appre-

seems to be a favorite vessel with this
class of people, for when the steamship
arrived yesterday morning she had nc
less than twenty locked up. A search
of the ship was ordered after she sail
ed from Yokohama. and g dozen mer
We're found in one of the boilers which
was not being used. All of these men
will have to be taken back 20 the
Orient.
The Maru as Transport.
It is said that there is possibility
of the Togo Kisen Kaisha America
Maru being used as a tronpship by the
Japanese Government upon her return
to the Orient from San Francisco. This
is given as the reason, b. some, for the
rushing of the steamship across the
Pacific, that she may hurry up To San
Francisco, discharge her cargo of fri-
entail merchandise and hasten back to
Yokohama. The officers aboard the
ship deny that there is any truth in
this story.
VIII the Maru Pay F1neP
Collector of Port stackable took no
action yesterday in the matter of fining
the America Maru in the case aof Ito
Takijiro.
As before announced, ,he collector
has communicated with the Treasury
Department in the matter, and is
awaiting fits reply. The probabilities
are, it is thought on the waterfront,
that the affair is closed and nothing
more will be said about the matter
1t will be remembered that. the last
time the America Maru was here a
Japanese. who claimed 10 be resident
of Honolulu, was locked up on the yes
sci as a stowaway and a rejected i'm
migrant, he having been refused a
landing at San Francisco by the au-
thorities at that port. When the YES
sci came here from the coast, the
friends of this Japanese, on writ of
habeas corpus issued by Circuit Judge
Humphreys, took him from the steam
ship and brought him ashore here.
Collector Stackable, being of the
opinion that the steamship had broken
the immigration laws, concluded to
subject the vessel to a heavy fine upon
her return to this port. The collector,
however, has taken no definite action
in the matter, awaiting the reply to
his communication to the Treasury De-
partment
Through Passengers on Maru.
