to do so. II am in trouble enough

said.
CAPTAIN HANABUSA EXPLAINS.
+ Captain Hanabusa was reluctant in
speaking of the matter last night.
saying that he thought it was due him
in fairness that Captain Porter issue
denial of the stories That he had
not done so was an inference that he
believed them and If that was the
case he, Captain Hanabusa did not
wish to say anything more in the mat
ter. He would not under any circum-
stances, involve himself in any con-
troveTsy.
After it was pointed out to Captain
Hanabusa that statement from him
might be the means of explaining
away what was evidently a misunder-
standing, he gave the following state
nlent of the movements of his vessel
while at Midway.
In the first place." began the Japa-
nese captain, IF these stories they are
printing about the Anegawa and her
crew were correct, 1 am liable to a
heavy punishment from my superiors.
Captain Porter ought to remember
that, even if he does not want to be
his trouble and his desire to keep out
of print.
Now I will tell you what we did at
Midway and why. In the first place
the reason why we did not come di-
rect to Honolulu from Japan was be-
cause we wanted to see the Midway
island. We had no intention of Stop
ping there. but wished to approach
within sight. On the evening of the
18th. as we approached land, we saw
a large steamer ashore signalling for
help. So steered close in, within two
miles of her taking the greatest pre-
cautions and letting go the anchor in
deep water BY this time the Mongo-
liza was signalling for us to send a
boat, which we had intended to do.
''It was O'Clock when we anchored
and dusk when a boat and an officer
left the ship. On the Mongolia he was
asked if the Anegawa was willing to
help to pull the Mongolia off. The Of
fcer was not authorized TO make any
arrangements but promised to carry
any messages to me. He asked about
the passengers and was told that they
were ashore and safe. He then ar
ranged a series Of three signals, one
If the Anegawa would not help at all,
one if a further consultation was de-
sired and one if the Anegawa would
help to pull. 1t was o'clock before
he returned to our ship.
81 decided that we must certainly
help if there was anything that we
could do and ordered the signal for a
to be hoisted. Nothing
could be done that night but the next
morning we came in as close as we
dared and anchored. Immediately I
sent a boat to the Mongolia to tell
Captain Porter that we had no cable
long enough for the work and to make
ARRANGEMENTS to pass US one. I also
sent out a boat to make soundings to
see If 1t would be safe for us to come
closer in with the steamer In order

The meeting was called to order by

Mr. Kinney was reelected chairman, F.

The secretary thereupon read the call

the National Com mftteeman to make

Passengers arriving yesterday on tn
transport Buford from Midway anC
many of the members of the Mongolia
crew tell indignant stories of the
| treatment given the stranded liner by
| the Japanese training ship Anegawa
now in the harbor, whose captain
| they accuse of refusing aid and OF
steaming away from Midway, leaving
! the Mongolia to her fate. These
stories are doubtless given in the best
of good faith and in sincerity but
they are not substantiated by the evil
dence of those best acquainted with
the situation on the Mongolia during
the time the Anegawa was standing
by and are contradicted and explained
away in a statement given the Adver-
tiser last night by Captain Hanabusa,
of the Anegawa.
The only passenger aboard the Mon
golia when the Anegawa was attempt
ing to render aid to the liner was
Captain c. F. KIitgaard, of San Fran
cisco, who had been asked to stay
with the crew and assist because of
his special knowledge of wrecking,
Captain Klitgaard expressed the opin-
ion last night that serious wrong
had been done the Anegawa by the
publication of the stories given by the
Mongolia passengers.
CAPTAIN KLITGAARD'S STORY.
q was in the position of a practical
outsider at the time and could look
at the matter from the viewpoint of
the Jap as well as from that of the
Mongolia officers" said~Captain Kilt
gard, "and the way 1 have it sized
up is that the Anegawa gave all the
assistance that could have been ex-
pected She stood by and made an at
tempt to get line on to US. She
offered to take on our passengers and
crew if we wanted it done and only
left after her hawser had fouled on
the coral and was broken. If it had
been the Jap ashore and the Mongolia
or any other steamer which had ap-
preached her I do not think they
would have done any more. A captain
dare not risk his own ship except in
case of danger to life and the Ane-
gawa's captain satisfied himself that
in this case everybody was safe
LAS an American citizen L do not
like to see the injustice that the pub
Iication of these stories has done. Re-

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. IL
The opening of bids today at the
Treasury Department for the selling Of
site to the government for a post
office will be followed by the sending
of special agent to Honolulu. The
department, however, is in no haste in
selecting an agent for this work, as
there is no appropriation for the struc-
ture and can be none till Congress
passes another public buildings bill,
which probably will not be for two
years.
Thus far there is nothing to indicate
what one of the bids will be most at
tractive to the Treasury Department.
There were six different propositions
made, the number OF bidders being but
four The Union Feed Company sub
mitted two propositions-one to sell
60, 157 square feet of land at Queen,
Edinboro and Halekauwila streets for
$90,226. and another to sell the block
bounded by Queen, Edinburgh, Halekau-
villa and Alakea streets, containing H.,
$50 square feet for $I16,o06. William
G.. Irwin also submitted two PROPOSE
tions. One of these was to sell lot
containing 56,305 square feet on Rich
ards, King and Militant streets for s148,-
900. The other of Mr.. Irwin S PROPOSE
tions is to sell $4,000 square feet at

THE TRIBUNE wishes to suggest the importance of e-electing the two retiring members of the school board of the Green Forest special district in the school election the 18th inst. The present board has certainly labored faithfully for the interests of the district and by standing together and wol king in complete harmony they will soon have equipped and ready for use 8 school building that would be a credit to any town in the state and this after the fire demon had de- stroyed the splended building that was erected last year.
