THE SlLVERTOWN
DECK RECEPTION

Old Engiand's hospitality dwelt
aboard the British cable steamer Sill
vertown yesterday as she lay at anchor
in Naval Row, gay with streamers of
bunting and signal flags and merry
with throngs of Honolulans who paid
their respects to the staff of cable engi-
neers who today depart for London.
From to o'clock guests were enter
tanned aboard the interesting vessel,
and the launch of the cable steamer,
from whose flagstaff fiuttered the Eng
lish Jak, steamed between the steamer
and the boatlanding, alternating in its
trips with the launch of the United
States Naval Station. loaned by Cap
tain Whiting, and that of the United
States Quarantine Service, loaned by
DR.. Golfer. The flags of England and
the United States fiuttered over the
respective boats.
A stiff breeze was blowing as the
launches came alongside the steamer,
which is at present quite high out of
the water, and considerable difficulty
was experienced by the ladies in get
ting upon the gangway and climbing
what seemed to them a perpendicular
ladder. At the top they were greeted

SiIvertown May
Remain All
Month.
Manager Dickinson Is
One of Departing
Electricians.

Early this morning the Oceanic liner
Ventura will arrive, and it is expected
that the ship will get away in the aft
ernoon. for San Francisco. Cablegrams
from Tanning Island received yester-
day tell of the sailing of the ship from
that port Saturday afternoon at
O'Clock. The news of the departure OF
the Ventura came by way of the Brit
ish cable and the land lines to San
Francisco, and was repeated here by
cable, for the information of the cable
ship officials who will leave in the YES
sci on their way back homo.
There will be in the company Of
cable folk nine persons. Mr.. s. S. Dick
enson, who had in charge al the pre-
liminaries attendant upon the laying of
the cable. which has necessitated his
making Honolulu his headquarters for
more than six months, will depart, and
his going will draw to the wharf many
friends Mr.. Dickinson proceeds to
Canso, Nova Scotia, his home, and may
not return here. He will arrange while
in the States for the stations of the
company on the further islands of the
Pacific, which will be required for the
cable. There will be needed huts and
houses on Midway and Guam, and it is
probable that these may be construct
ed by an expedition sent out from Ho-
nolulu.
Mr.. Dickinson has reported to the
head officers of the company that he
favors the construction of cement
houses, small affairs, which will offer
little surface to the winds, but which
will be capable of withstanding the
hardest blows, and the building of these
may take considerable time. There is
very little to lose however, as the eX-
pectation of the cable people is that the
line will be laid through from Manila
not later than July 1 of this year. The
quarters for the men who are sent out
to the further stations, is as necessary as
the stringing of the wire, and it is eX-
<pected that the work will be inaugu-
rated as soon as Mr.. Dickinson has
made his report to headquarters.
Capt Pattison, the chief inspector
for the Commercial Pacific Gable Conn
pany, who has watched the making of
and laying of this stretch of line, and
who will have charge of the remainder
as well, leaves with his entire staff, and
their trip across the continent will be

hurried one. They VIII have no time
to spare, for the Anglia will soon leave
London with the long stretch of line
which will connect Manila and this
port, in the tanks. Mr.. Barwell, Mr..
Morrell and Mr.. Fender comprise the
inspection staff, and all expect to re-
turn in the Anglia. Capt. Pattison is
most hopeful that he will be able to
make a record with the laying of the
last stretch of the line, and he has
freely made the prediction that he will
be back in Honolulu with the other end
before the close of the month of June.
Four of the experts of the Telegraph
made the cable just laid, are to depart
today having been called back to Lon
don for service in the home office or
with other expeditions. These are Mr..
of the foremost men in his profession
in the world, and a recognized author
ity on all variety of telegraph questions,
Mr.. Daley, and Mr.. White These gem
tlemen, it is expected, are to be sent
out in one of the other ships of the
company, as there are expeditions
which are now ready to leave London
as soon as the men named are available
for reassignment.
The Silvertown will stay in Honolulu
harbor until the first of February, when
with 1000 tons of ballast in the tanks
the course will be laid direct for Coro-
mel and thence around for home. This
has been decided upon as the proper
course, and there will not be a change
