Since the departure of the Inflated
gunboat Bennington Honolulu has been
without any vessels belonging to the
naval establishment. The next naval
vessels to arrive here will be trans
ports Solace and Lawton which have
already sailed from Guam for this port
according to cable advices received at
the local naval station. The Solace is
expected here about August while the
Lawton will arrive at about the same
time, perhaps a day Or two later. The
only other naval movement affecting
Honolulu is the possible sailing of the
q. S. S. Iroquois for Midway with sup
plies for the marine guard whose en-
campment was destroyed in the big
storm that swept the island. There
has been, considerable cable correspon-
dence between the local station and the
department concerning the Midway de-
tachment although no orders have been
received as yet for the sailing of the
tug. The exact extent OF the losses on
the cable island is not known as yet
but evidently the marines lost heavily.
MANY MAILS NEXT WEEK.
Next week will see big business In
mail steamers after a rather quiet pc
Rod. The Canadian-Australian liner
Manuka will open the ball, arriving
Monday, two days ahead of her sched-
u1e. She left Brisbane on the 18th and
Suva on the 18th. She is a fine, fast
boat and it is to be hoped that she
will be kept on this run regularly. The
next steamer due is the Sonoma, also
from the colonies which should be in
early Tuesday morning. She will de-
part for the coast with the next mail
about p. m. the same day. The next
mail from the States will be brought
down by the Sierra, due Monday morn
ing. Another big steamer will be the
Siberia Of the Pacific Mail line due
from the Orient Thursday. She will
, take mail to the coast the same day
or Friday morning. The Siberia's sis
ter ship, the Korea is due from San
Francisco Friday morning with another
mail from the States. The weeks bust
ness will close on Saturday with the
call of the C.-S S. Miowera on her
way from Victoria and Vancouver to
the Colonies.
