With goods and treasure to the val
ue of over three million dollars in her
hold, one of the most valuable cargoes
| ever carried through this port from the
Orient, the steamship Doric arrived
yesterday morning, departing again on
her way in the afternoon. Her cargo
, consists of a rich shipment of silks.
large amount of opium and treasure
to the amount of $500, 600 OF general
| cargo the vessel carried $500 tons of
which 425 tons We're taken off here.
Only two passengers for Honolulu ar
rived on the Oriental liner, one a re-
turning Honolulan, w. ]. Dyer, of the
Honolulu Iron Works. who has con-
cluded a most successful business trip
to Japan. japanese laborers to the
number of 249 were also landed here.
Among the through passengers was
DR.. E. r. Stitt, of the United States
navy, who is returning home after a
thorough investigation Of the health
conditions of the Orient. DR.. Stitt is
celebrated bacteriologist and studied
the conditions in the Philippines, es-
pecially from a archaeological stand
point.
AS departing passengers from here
for the Coast the Doric took all the
Mongolia passengers not taken by the
steamship Alameda.
In view of the summary retirement
of the Mongolia and Manchuria from
the active list, it j 5 probable that the
Doric will make several more calls at
this port, although it is understood that
her name will be changed to the Asia,
probably before the return trip. The
Coptic, which is to be rechristened the
Persia, will also be back on her old
run. It is taken for granted that the
injuries received by her in the recent
Hongkong typhoon were not serious
and that she will be on the way for
Honolulu at once.
WHAT CAPT. HANABUSA WIRED.
Among other statements made here
Mongolia, when telling of the way they
were treated by the Japanese training
ship Anegawa, was one to the effect
that Captain Hanabusa had cabled to
the Mongolia was beyond help and that
there was no necessity of the Anegawa
standing by. Just how anyone could
have knowledge of what cable mes
the Mongolia passengers at least, was
not explained, but the assertion that
such a message was sent was repeated
by many and believed by all. account
felt by the passengers toward the
Anegawa.
What Captain Hanabusa really did
send to his superiors was something
altogether different The issue of the
Kobe Herald of September 81 contains
the following:
1.-The Toxic Naval Department has
received the following telegram from
the commander of the Anegawa, a
training vessel for Japanese naval Of
ficers, which is now engaged in a
cruise in the Pacific:
"a little before dark on the 18th,
we approached the northwest end of
Midway Island, when we sighted the
steamship Mongolia, which had gone
ashore there. After consultation with
the officers Of the steamer this morn
ing (the 18th. we decided to take part
in an attempt to refloat her in the eve
ming. and to render all other possible
assistance
yokohama papers have been inform
ed by the local agent of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company that he is in
receipt of advices that the United
States transport Buford will take the
Mongolia's passengers from Midway
Island, and therefore the Doric, which
was to have gone there for that pur-
pose, will proceed to Honolulu direct"
