young man claims to have been blame
less. He closes with request that his
father see the governor and other au-

be done to have him released and sent

appears to think that a letter from
Governor Carter to Governor Pardee
would produce pardon and cause him
to be sent back here.
The letter of young Manase does not
state whether or not he is under SEN

of California in murder cases the jury

HONGKONG MARU
ARRIVED TO-DAY
THE MARU ARRIVED HIS AFTER
NOON FROM SAN FRANCISCO
WITH ONE DAYS LATER MAIL

The T. X. X. steamer Hongkong
Maru arrived today firm San Fran
cisco after a pleasant voyage. She
docked at the Hackfeld wharf at 1:45
p. m.
The Maru brought one days later mail
but not many passengers as the book
ing was stopped so that the Manchuria
passengers could be taken from this
port on to the Orient. The Maru will
sail tonight at 10 o'clock.
Between 90 and 20 of the Manchuria
passengers will be forwarded by the
Maru. AS she has not many passen-
gers in the steerage she will probably
be given a large number of the steerage
passengers from the Manchuria to take
with her.
The Maru had small amount of
trouble while she was in San Fran
cisco with the Union over the discharge
of a stevedore. The ship was tied uT
for few hours but a satisfactory ar
| rangement was made and the unload,
ing went on.
When the Maru first reached Sar
Francisco the unloading of the silk
| cargo was delayed nearly one day or
account of water front troubles there.

M0tCaIf
Says lie
Has Fair
Chance
SALVING EXPERT UNDERSTOOD
TO HAVE EXPRESSED OPINION
THAT MANCHURIA HAS CHANCE

While Captain Metcalf has not ex-
pressed any opinion openly regarding
the prospects of saving the wrecked
Manchuria, he is understood to be SAN
guine over the chances of eventually
restoring the liner to the Pacific Mail
fleet.
He was busy yesterday and has been
busy today looking over the situation
and acquainting himself by means of
a study of the detailed statement given
him by the local agents as we'll as by
a personal inspection, with the chances
of the Manchuria. He is reported to
have stated that he considered the
prospects fair for getting the Manchu-
ria off the reef.
Evidently Captain Metcalf is reserved
regarding an expression of his belief,
for he has not yet make known to the
local agents of the company his ideas
regarding the chances of saving tho
vessel. Inquiry at the office of H
Hackfeld and Company this morning
met the response that Captain Metcalf
had not up to that time given any in
timation of his opinion or the plans that
lie WOulu ultimately pursue regarding
the efforts to float the boat
Captain Metcalf and Captain Pills
bury are ousy today at the scene of
the wreck. Captain Abrahamson the
diver who came with Captain Metcalf
from San Francisco, went over to the
wreck this morning and will at once
proceed to make. examinations of the
bottom abut the vessel and also of the
hull of the ship in order to secure in
formation that will be required by Cap
tain Metcalf in connection with the
work of salving the vessel.
Information by telephone is expected
at the office of Hackfeld and Company
from Captain Metcalf, which will give
possibly some idea of his opinion of
the vessel and also of his plans for sal
wing her. He and Captain Pillsbury
and probably Captain AbrahamsOn will
return late this afternoon from the
ence with the local agents and e. B.
McClanahan. At that interview the
salving experts will undoubtedly, ac-
quaint the local agents with their OPT
nion regarding the prospects of the
Manchuria. Certainly the plans for
work will no doubt be settled.
Fifty native stevedores were sent to
the scene of the wreck last night and
fourteen NOR were dispatched this
morning. The men are to be used in

WOODS MAY Be

REPORT THAT CUBAN REVOLU-

FOR LEAVING HAWAII.

A report comes from Hawaii that
Palmer Woods is likely to give up his
Cuban proposition. The revolution
there, it is said. has so disturbed con-
ditions that the Kohala senator's
scheme may be all off. Woods intend
ed to leave next month for Cuba and
had planned to take his family and
settle there. 1t is now reported that
he intends to give up the proposition
and remain here.
If Woods decides to remain, it is re-
garded as likely that he will be Ko-

The local agency received word this
morning announcing the safe arrival
of the Fearless and Pioneer at the
scene of the wreck. The scow was en-
gagged in discharging her material
aboard the Manchuria and the work of
laying additional anchors would soon
be begun. The most important thing
now that Captain Metcalf is doing is
to secure the boat safely so as to pre-
vent her capsizing after she is light
ened and is possibly careened. The
placing of anchors and putting lines to
the vessel is to proceed this afternoon
without delay. The first purpose is to

e. X. Manase, a son of the Rev. H.
Manasee, chaplain of Oahu Prison, has
been convicted of murder in the first
degree, in Sacramento, California, and
the minister called on Governor Carter
to ask that the executive here use his
efforts to have Governor Pardee of Cali
fornia pardon the young man and send
him back to his native land. The Rev.
Manase left with the governor very
long letter written by his son in Sacra-
mento Jail, and containing a pathetic
plea for help to get back to the ISL
ands.
The letter covers about twenty pages
and quotes a lot of evidence that was
adduced at the trial. 1t appears that
young Manase shot and killed a man
named Cook, who was seen by Manase
hugging Manase's wife. He also tried
to shoot another man named Hopkins,
but Hopkins grabbed the gun which
Manase held and got it away from
him

CROCKETT
SCORES ON
SPRECKELS
KEEN FIGHT FOR THE PACIFIC
COAST REFINED SUGAR TRADE
-sPRECKELs HEAVY EXPENSES

SAN FRANCISCO, August 21-After
five months competition between the
Spreckels Western Sugar Refinery and
the California and Hawaiian Sugar
Refining Company, the price of sugar
has dropped from $5.15 to $430. In
New York the price is $3.50, while at
the Missouri river it is IS.
The $3.50 price in the local market
means the ruling figure for all the Pa
cific Coast States. This figure is so
low that southern and other coast beet
sugar makers refuse to sell here, and
are shipping all their output to the
Missouri river. Spreckels and the op-
position are also shipping to the Mis-
souri,. Their fight, however, is to COM
mand the Pacific Coast field
1t is estimated the S5-cent reduction
will affect 100, 100000 pounds, and that
there will be a reduction of from 27 to
40 cents per 100 pounds on $50, 900, 900
pounds. These figures indicate what
the Spreckels company is losing in the
fight, but this is only a portion of the
Spreckels loss. The company cannot
buy raw sugar in Hawaii, and it raises
only about 10000 tons there annually.
The company has to buy the remainder
of its raw supply in all parts of the
world at the ruling price
Before he quarreled with the Ha-
waiian planters Spreckels bought 150,-
600 tons a year from them at a dis
count of $3.50 per ton over the ruling
New York price In that way he got
his raw product far cheaper than he
can now get it,
