Three men PUT OFF
MANCHURIA At SEA
Sampan Brings Supposed
StoWaWays From
K0k0 Head

Excitement was caused on the wat
erfront this morning by the report
which was brought in from the sea by
the ]. G. Cummins. The giant liner
Manchuria, when near Koko Head
had been seen by the little craft to
suddenly turn in toward the Head, and
lie in that position for ten minutes,
when she turned due east, making a
round turn, and was last seen lying in
that position. Speculation rain riot,
until this morning Japanese fisher.
man came into the Hackfeld Offices,
and demanded payment for his ser.
vices in bringing three men ashore
from the ship, last night. The facts
in the case are unknown. as up to this
afternoon, the men had not been locat.
cd, and the Japanese did not know
why they were leaving the craft. How.
ever, it is supposed that they were
stowaways.
The Japanese says that he was
hailed, about dark. and when he came
| alongside with his sampan. he found
that there were three men to be put
| ashore. He describes his passengers
as white men, but Is otherwise unable
to give an intelligent account of their
