The SHIP
CAME NOT

MAUI, October l2.-Thc japanese
training ship Aucgawa did not arrive
yesterday at kahului ms expected, to
the great disappointment of several
thousand Japanese who had assembled
in the seaport town to do honor to the
steamship from their native land.
Early yesterday morning messages
by telephone and otherwise were sent
all over the island announcing the cx-
pected arrival of tho Ancgawa at noon
from Hilo, and during the forenoon
Japanese from all over Maui poured IN
to Kahului, most of them by trains but
many in carriages, ON horseback and
| afoOt.
Sixty cane ears packed with human
| freight came from Puunene, Is cane
cars full to the sides were hauled in
| from kihei, IA steamed in from Paia
and Hamakuapoko. while from Wailuku
two trains conveyed the eager brown
people, one containing two coaches and
two fiat cars and the other two coaches.
Many of the employees of the Waikiki
Sugar Co. made the trip otherwise than
by railroad, the distance being short.
All day the expectant multitude
waited and waited, but the steamer
came not and, when darkness approach
ed weary and disappointed-the crowd
departed homeward.
The spacious lumber warehouse re-
Gently constructed by the Kahului
Railroad Co. was all decorated with
flags, etc, and prepared for the banquet
| to the Anegawa men, for which Maui
Japanese were assessed dollar apiece.
The grandstand on the Kahului polo
and baseball grounds was also adorned
with bunting, for the sports for the
| entertainment of the visitors were to
have been held there. During the day
wireless was received from Hilo that
the steamer could not leave on Thurs
day as anticipated, but would visit Ma
vi Friday today). No reason was
given for the delay, and the report is
that some of the local Japanese feel
| offended. All last night Hawaiian
Waterman has been stationed on the
top of Kauiki Head (Hana), the site
OF the ancient fort, built by the king
of Hawaii when he invaded Maui. This
Hawaiian was to report the first ap-
pearance of the Anegawa over the
horizon of the sea. She has not as
yet been sighted.
Employers of house and yard ser
| wants are the sufferers from these two
unusual holidays, yesterday and today
At the different terminals trains of
empty cars are now in waiting to con
| vey the Japanese again to the celebra-
| tion at Kahului.
