A meeting was held yesterday after
noon at the Promotion Committee
rooms,e when several subcommittee
matters We're Strengthened out. A re-
vised program was also arranged by
Secretary Wood, which met with the
approval of those present. 1t is an ex-

of the associations stay and gives the
visitors the opportunity to see about
everything in sight. The entertain
ments thrown into the itinerary are be-
ing carefully arranged.
The lnau to be given the night before
the departure of the visitors for Cali
fornia is to be an engaging entertain
ment. Besides the fifty California ex-
cursionists, about a hundred other peo-
pie may be expected to attend. In
addition, the committees will invite
few prominent and representative men
OF the community as guests of honor.
A special souvenir program is being
gotten up by Editor Langton, which
promises to be worth while. Secretary

Until Arrival OF

There has been no change whatever
at the Sheridan since last night said
Captain Humphrey last night at the
naval wharf after the arrival of the
steamer Iwalani from the wreck. "She
is lying quietly and ii is unlikely that
there wtn be any changes to note in
her condition for some time.
The wrecking gear and pumps are
coming down or the Korea, to leave
San Francisco tomorrow. L do not
know yet as to whether the army tug
Slocum will come down or not. 1 have
asked for her, but have received no
answer concerning her. so it is probable
that she will not be sent.
1T is certain, however, that the
transport Buford will sail from Seattle
for Honolulu tomorrow"
On the Iwalani was brought in the
remainder of the perishable supplies off
the transport, butter, lard and such
supplies They have been stored in the

The remains of the year-old child OF

brought in on the Iwalani.

After several narrow escapes in getting

At the scene of the wreck there is
little doing beyond the work of trans

the work of the Pacific in laying out
the heavy anchors.
The cabieship Restorer has her lines
aboard the liner but is putting no

ed to hold the vessel steady. It is unr

will be out and the coal thrown over

FILES OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
Captain Saunders was ashore yester-
day for the first time since the acci-
dent. He was brought to Honolulu by
automobile and filed with U. s. Com
missioner G. a. Davis an official ma
rine protest, being his sworn statement
as to the cause of the disaster and the
damage resulting to the vessel. He re-
turned Immediately to Waimanalo and
was taken aboard the Manchuria again
last night.
BATHS A LUXURY.
The most serious complaint coming
from those working aboard the Man
churia at present is the lack of fresh
water What there is on board to
drink is said to be brackish and there
is none whatever for baths.
THE RESToRER STATUS.
1t is said that the Restorer is stand
ing by the Manchuria by orders re
ceiyed from the head offices of the
Commercial Pacific Gable Company in
New York, Captain Combe having re-
ceived instructions to hold the vessel
at the disposal of Captain Metcalf.
It is the general supposition that the
Pacific Mail hackers are among the
principal stockholders in the cable
company and in using the Restorer are
doing their own work. Just what ar
have been made regard
ing the proposed trip of the Restorer
to Midway TO meet the general mana
ger of the cable company and land
him at Midway from the S. ;. Mon

that under the circumstances the trip
