BIG ROW ON THE
HERMAN AT SEA
And Captain Brown Forced Hoff-
man and Sharratts OF
at Samoa.

To all intents and purposes Frank
S,.arratts and Cog" Hoffman are ma
rooned at Apia, for Captain Brown did
put them ashore there and refused
them permission to again board his
vessel, although the treasure hunter
Herman has been lying in Apia harbor
! for some weeks, and Sharratts and
Hoffman have had to find quarters on
shore. The trip to Samoa from this
port is said to have been anything but
a pleasure trip" for those on board the
| little vessel. Captain Brown exchang-
/ ed barely a word with his two passen-
gers on the journey down and there
were frequent threats of shooting on
both sides. Southland Hoffman of this
city received letter from his brother
giving details of the trip, but Mr.. Hoff-
man refuses to give any particulars as
to the voyage as he holds that his
brothers letter is of a strictly private
nature.
Lawyer Stoney and G. w. Sutton
| left for Samoa on the Ventura yester-
day. They will try to get to Apia and
when they reach that port it is said
that Sutton will go on board, and that
Sharratts will also be permitted to go
but Hoffman is to be kept off. Hoff-
man is said to have had no money in
terest in the vessel He simply rep
resented the owner of the schooner,
and Sutton and Stoney now have the
necessary papers from the schooner's
owner to cause Hoffman to be pau.
The owner has cancelled Hoffman's
him on the Herman.
Stoney and Sutton have had a long
and wild chase in trying to reach the
schooner and their travelling expenses
alone have mounted up to consider
able sum. They went to Sydney in the
Sierra and received a message there
They then took passage again on the
Sierra and returned to Page Page, bur
Mr.. Stoney's little daughter had the
measles and the quarantine officials at
Pago Page refused to allow anyone to
leave the vessel. The party wished to
go in quarantine, but the officials at
Pago Page refused to allow them to do
so, stating that there were no arrange
ments there to keep people in quaran-
tine. The party then had no alterna-
tive but to come to Honolulu on the
Sierra, and now Stoney and Sutton are
off on the Ventura again in an effort
to reach Apia.
A ship would not be quarantined here
because of measles, but in Samoa
measle epidemics are considered dead
ly. When the native Samoan gets the
measles and the fever comes on he
rushes madly for the water and, plung-
ing into the sea, usually meets his
doom.

SAYS THE PACIFIC
Is ROUGH OCEAN
Steamer Duke of Fife Struck
Bad Weather on Two
Trips.

eff anyone imagines that the gales
are not as hard or the sea as rough
! in the Pacific as in the Atlantic" said
the skipper of the British ship Duke
of Fife after arriving here from the
Orient yesterday morning, she is mis-
i taken, for I can assure him that my
service on the Pacific has proven that
gales, typhoons and heavy seas come
| from all directions and are prevalent
at any old time in all of the northern
Pacific. On our trip out to the Orient
we were in an awful gale that lasted for
days, smashed up our boats, flooded
our cabins, and made things very mis-
cradle, although we stood the storm
better than any of the vessels which
left Puget Sound at the same time for
the Orient.
I'VE also had tough trip from Yo-
kohama to Honolulu 1t occupied fif-
teen days time and although I thought
sure us immunity from the severe
winter storms, l was mistaken, for in
80 degrees north latitude on the merid-
ian we got a severe gale which lasted
for three days. This was from the
north. No damage was done to the YES
sci, but seas continually swept over
, n nd Of fho
over our mast heads. Just notice our
funnel. See that white streak clear to
the top of it? Well, that is from the
action of the salt water that went over
the funnel in sprays. Our voyage was
a long one, and l am thoroughly con-
WINGED that the usual weather on the
Pacific ocean is worse than on the At
lantic"
The Duke of Fife arrived early yes
terday morning from Yokohama with
a cargo of seven hundred tons of gen.
eral merchandise for this port and
about thousand tons of general mer-
disc for Victoria and Tacoma. The
vessel is making a special call here,
and this will probably be her last Wis
it. She was here three years ago as
a transport and since that time has
been under charter in the Northern
Pacific Railway Company's feet, run
ming from Puget Sound to the Orient.
Her charter will be up when she again
reaches Hongkong, and it is probable
that she will then return to England.
She carries about twenty-five japanese
passengers. She has Chinese crew.
The steamer was discharging her
cargo at the Pacific Mail wharf yester-
day, and will sail at 10 o'clock this
morning for Puget Sound.

NIPPON TO CARRY
VERY BIG MAIL
Arrived Last Night and Will
Take Christmas Messages
Away Today.

The Jap liner Nippon Maru arrived
in port about O'Clock last night, load
ed to her waterline with cargo. She
had many passengers for San Fran
cisco but only one for this port, T. Ishi-
kawa
Nine hundred and five tons of the
steamers big cargo will be discharged
at this port, and for that reason the
steamer cannot get away before about
10 O'Clock today. She will probably
take very heavy Christmas mail to
the Coast, for mail going by her to the
eastern part of the United States will
about reach it's destination in time.
1t is expected that the mail sent away
on the Nippon will be a very heavy
one.
The steamer had no high wind on
her run from Yokohama but it is prob
able that she just escaped a terrific
storm as she encountered big north
erly swell during most of her voyage.
There are a number of well known
commercial men on the vessel as
through passengers. p. H. Ashmead,
the well known civil engineer, who has
been employed in the building of the
railway for the Brice Syndicate from
Canton to Hankow, is on his way to
New York. A portion of the railway,
twenty-eight miles in length, has been
completed and work is being pushed on
the remainder.
Edward Barrett is returning from far
away Mongolia, where he has been en-
ployed in the mines as metallurgist.
j. Becker, a well known tea buyer,
is on his way home, the season for
buying tea in the East having ended.
An interesting passenger is Mrs.
Hayward Hayes, a Danish lady, the
wife OF an American who holds the
position of Surgeon-General in the
Siamese navy, She is on her way to
visit America. E. W. Poor, U. S. N,
who has been paymaster's clerk Oh
the battleship Kentucky for some
months, is on his way to Colorado,
where he will engage in prospecting.
Captain D. N. p. Soltan, a Russian
army officer who has been stationed at
Vladivostok for some time, is now on
his way to Turkestan, via America.
w. J. Schroth. well known tea
merchant of Kobe, is on his way to
America on a business trip
L. w. Smith is returning to the
United States after having spent some
time in the canning industry in north
ern Siberia
George e. Wolf, member of the
firm who are agents for the Pacific
Mail Company at Manila, is on a pleas
ure trip to America.

Ventura Started Late.

Stevedores worked all of Wednesday
night in placing seven hundred tons of
coal into the bunkers of the Oceanic
liner Ventura so that she might be
ready to sail for the Colonies at ten
o'clock yesterday morning but the yes
sci did not get away until about noon
as there had been some accident to her
machinery which had to be repaired be-
fore she could leave port. The machin-
cry was repaired at the Honolulu Iron
Works. Quite crowd were around
the vessel at ten o'clock to watch her
departure but owing to her not sailing
on time the people bade their friends
good bye and drifted away so that there
were but few present to watch her de-
parture at noon.

TO SAVE COST IN
HANDLING SUGAR
New Machinery Erected at the
Warehouse at Railway
Wharf.

The gradual tendency in handling
sugar exported from the Hawaiian
Islands is to do away with as much
manual labor as possible. The big
freighters of the American Hawaiian
line did away with lot of stevedoring
work at the time that they dis
placed the sailing ships. Conveyors
carried the sugar direct from the big
Railway wharf warehouse to the steam
ers, and now a method has been found
by which the sugar brought here dur
ing the coming season by the Island
steamers may be handled more cheaply
During the last few days an electric
conveyor has been constructed at the
Railway wharf which is designed to
connect with Island steamers lying
alongside of the wharf. Sugar is
loaded direct from the steamers deck
onto the conveyor and this transports
it in quickly to any part of the ware
house, where it is stacked and Is again
ready to be placed on conveyors and
loaded into the holds of the big
freighters at the rate of 1,500 sacks an
hour. The wagons that have prevf-
ously been used to cart sugar from
steamer to warehouse will not be in
evidence in the future.
The sugar season will be in full
swing very shortly, and the business
of the Inter-Island steamship compan-
les will thus receive quite an impetus

Soldiers Arrived on Ventura.

Among the passengers arriving from

These men have been in the infantry

many of the men in the artillery forces
in order to make their complement

Dirigo Reported Arrived.

The ship Dirigo which was consider
ably overdue has arrived in New York
according to advices received by Messrs
Castle & Cooke. The news came in a
late telegram which reached San Fran
cisco just in time to catch the late
sailing of the Ventura The vessel ar
rived in time to get 8 3-16 cents per
pound for her sugar and through the
market advancing during her long pas
sage the local firms that shipped sugar
or her are about $4,000 richer as the
sugar is paid for at the price that is
ruling on the day of vessels arrival.
City Of PekIng About Ready.
Officers of the steamer Duke of Fife
state that when they left the Orient
the work of putting a new shaft into
the disabled steamer City of Picking
had been nearly completed and that the
vessel would probably sail for San
Francisco within a few days.

THE ALICE MAIL.
Will Reach Here for Evening Dis
tribution Again.

Postmaster J. B. Sharpe informs
THE HERALD that he has received
notification from the postmaster at
Alice that the old schedule of de-
parture of mails from Alice for
Brownsville has been resumed, and
that, beginning this evening, the
mail from Alice will be due to ar
rive in Brownsville at six o'clock.
Mr.. Sharpe has received no other
notification of the change in sched-
ule, nor has Mr. Browne, proprietor
of the stage line, been notified of it.
However, it is presumed that the
Alice postoffice received the neces-
sary authority to change the sched-
uie from the postal authorities.
Some recent changes in the running
of trains to Alice, which were noted
in THE HERALD lately as being like
ly to affect the arrival of the mail
in Brownsville, are doubtless the
cause of the change.
Mr.. Sharpe will therefore be pre-
pared to receive and distribute the
mail in the evening as formerly,
and will have the red light put up
as of old, TO notify the public of the
arrival of the stage.

who made the report) and after Il
thorough and searching investiga-
ton and careful consideration of
all the facts obtainable we find:
First: That the acting Vice Con-
sui of Spain stationed in this city,
without foundation in fact, tele-
graphed to the Spanish Minister at
Washington that the life of said
Spanish subject was threatened by
members of the said State Ranger
force;
Second: That at no time, nor in
any place, have the members of the
said Ranger force, or any one of
them, directly or indirectly, in any
way or manner threatened, or sought
to threaten the life or personal safe
ty Of said Spanish subject, or that
of any other person.
Third: We most earnestly con-
denim and deprecate the action of
said Vice Consul and that of his
infOrmer or informers, as not only
unfair to body of faithful public
servants, but as a dangerous and
mischievous menace to the public
peace. We also desire to state before
closing that the people of this section
have had an acquaintance of many
years with Captain j. A. Brooks,
commanding said company of State
Rangers, and that they have always
found in him, as his long record of
public service has proven him to
be, a brave officer and honorable
gentleman.
We also request that your Honor
cause to issue from this court three
certified copies of this report, to be
mailed respectively to the Governor
of Texas, the Secretary of State of
the United States and the Spanish
Minister at Washington.
