SEWALL WILL
STAY OUTSIDE

The ship Edward Sewall, with her
hold full of Shanghai mud, is still
living outside the harbor at anchor,
and will be there for week, probably
1t will take her several days TO get
rid of the dirt, which as being perhaps
infected the quarantine authorities Will
not permit her to bring inside and
dump, and then she must be stiffened
with her dunnage when the ballast is
taken out in the interest of safety to
the ship herself. And all told this viii
require not less than a week-and may
take a longer time than that.
So it does not pay to ballast a vessel
with mud from the mouth of the Peiho
river. On the whole, it is a wise pre-
caution not to let that mud come in.
All kinds of things are thrown into
Chinese rivers, and it all comes down
to the sea People who sail out of
Shanghai for Nagasalxi know that the
sea is yellow for hundred miles with
the filth of the Chinese that comes
down the Yellow river-and the river
at Shanghai is only better because 1t
is a smaller stream. The Chinese fill
it as full with nastiness as it will well
hold. ~aaS ssi
The Sewall will load sugar for the
Delaware Breakwater. once she does
get into port. She is one of the around
the world fleet of the great house of
the Sewalls, and this is a regular sta
ton on her way.

Shipping Notes.

The Alameda will be the next ship
to carry mail to the Coast.
The Mikahala, which took the Halls

bags of sugar from the Garden Isle.
The schooner Muriel sailed from Ha-
ma for San Francisco yesterday, carry
ing 1880 sacks of sugar in her hold.

sugar on Kauai as follows: NJ A. X,

The Swedish ship Clan Macfarlane is
at the channel wharf for fumigation.
She will sail for the Columbia river
on Tuesday. and at Portland she will
load wheat for Europe.
The American ship Servia has about
finished discharging her cargo of coal
at the Railway wharf, and will go to
the Sound to load lumber for South
Africa. She win get away early in
the week, it is thought.
The Kinau will go out on her reg
ular run today instead of on Tuesday.
as usual. The reason for the change
is that there are 164 Japs to be taken
to one of the plantations on the Big
Island, and it is desired to get them
there as soon as possible
The Miowera was late yesterday in
arriving at this port because of a days
delay in leaving Victoria. She could
not get away from the Northern port
because of the strike on the docks
there. The ship had a smooth and
pleasant trip down. and sighted moth
ing on the way.
The Mauna Loa has not gone on the
Marine Railway. but she is lying in
that neighborhood and they have al
ready begun to burn the old paint off
her sides preparatory to the thorough
overhauling she is to have. When ii
is all finished the Inter-Island people
say that she will sail through the chan
nels of these islands with a broom at
her forepeak.
The Andrew WEIGH and the Kaiulani
are both pretty near ready to begin
loading sugar for the Coast. The Kai-
ulani has filed the Hackfeld wharf
with the most miscellaneous lot OF
freight that has been seen here for a
long time. The place looked, yesterday,
as If a warehouse had burst and its
had run down over the wharf,
helter-skelter. without any regard to
order at all. There was a little OF
everything in the bark's lading, appar-
emily.

an open rupture. He was actively in
sympathy with suffering Cubans. and
was attempting through diplomacy to
negotiate a line OF policy that would
have relieved the unhappy island. And
the report has come from the very
highest authority that he believed a lit
tie more time would have gained his
point without resort to arms. But the
barbaric instinct that the only way to
right national wrong is to spill hui
man blood was impatient of all re-
straint. And, inspired by the terrible
accounts of SPANS cruelty and in
justice. there went up all over our
country a demand for steps that would
inevitably mean war.
MANY pulpits of our land, from New
York to San Francisco. rang out for
immediate action. The inhuman Span
lard must be checked with force The
weeks Immediately before the final mes
sage, which meant the opening of hos
tiiities, were filled with sermons de-
manding that the United States, in the
name of humanity, should by force of

suggest that there might be another
and a better way of accomplishing this
result The island could have been
bought from Spain for less than one
half of what the war actually cost in
money alone to say nothing of the loss
of human life. But no! Spain must be
humbled. At the point of the cannon
she must be driven away forever from
