Teachers on Thomas.

Teachers on Thomas
1t is reported that nearly 900 school
teachers were to have sailed from San
Francisco yesterday on the transport
Thomas for Manila, to take positions
| offered them by various superintend
ents recently appointed. While most of
the teachers appear to come from the
West, all parts of the country are rep
resented in the list. The Thomas is one
of the largest and arranged vessels
of the transport fleet, and except for a
quantity of supplies in the hold suffi-
GENTLY to properly ballast the ship, it
is to be given up entirely to school
teachers On their account it is ex-
pected that the Thomas will receive
orders to make short stops at Honolulu
and Guam instead of going direct to
Manila.
Among those to leave Honolulu on
the Thomas are Prof Townsend and
family and Prof. Hits and family

The schooner Forest Home arrived in

expectedly on July II. The vessel,
which was launched not many months
ago and on her maiden voyage carried
a cargo of lumber to Callao, was to
have come to Honolulu but returned
to San Francisco, to the surprise of her
owners, Swayne & Hoyt. While at CAL

but instead of doing so he brought the

not understood the cablegram. The For

reported to have been on fire on the trip
down to Callao, slight damage resulting.
