to sail for San Diego tomorrow night.
The delay in her departure is caused
by the fact that it has been found nee
essary to repair her cylinders before
her trip south. The Solace is to be
used IN Transporting the Bernington's
injured to Mare Island, where all prep
arations have been made at the naval
hospital for their arrival.
The Solace will return from the south
as soon as possible, and there is a
strong probability that she will be plac-
ed out of commission at this yard. For
several trips past the Avis, biIity of
lowering the ships flag N order that
she might receive general overhaul
ing has been considered, but as she was
In tolerably good condition and there
was no vessel to take her place ON the
trips between this port and the Philip
pines, it was decided that her services
could not be dispensed with.
ExoNERATEs s. S. MAUI.
Port Superintendent Filler of the Ka-
hului Ry., who arrived yesterday ON
the Mauna Loa, is of the opinion that
the captain of the steamer Maui was
in no way responsible for the disaster
to the ship Spartan, despite the state
ment of the master of the latter that
the Maui would not ansyer his signals.
Mr.. Filler states that the captain of
the Spartan evidently mistook Spreck-
elsville for Kahului, and stood inshore.
On finding out his mistake he evident
ly tried to get out, but the wind was
not right for this maneuver, and the
vessel struck. There was no particular
display of distress when the Maui
went by. The Leslie Baldwin had no
ballast and went back to Kahului for
coal, and then hurried back to the
Spartan. By that time, however, the
ship was hard and fast on the rocks.
