The Hamburg-American liner Cleve-
land. Captain Christian Dempwolf. ar
rived here yesterday from New York
via Europe and Asia, with nearly 700
tourists on board The liner was off
the barge Office at sunrise and was
given prompt dispatch through quaran-
tine and was allowed TO proceed to
Union street wharf a few minutes after
the customs officials had gone on
board.
The passengers were, however, held
on board for more than an hour after
the ship had docked to enable two in
spectors, all that were on duty, to fin
ish their work. At luncheon time, how
ever, when the passengers had all
been landed six immigration officers
were on hand for the midday feast.
Once on the wharf the passengers
We're disposed of quickly by the GUS
toms forces. Chief Boarding officer
Charles Stephens was in charge with a
large army of inspectors, weighers and
laborers.
The cruise of the Cleveland was un-
eventful except for the experience of
the passengers at Canton, where the
precautions taken for their safety
thoroughly alarmed many of the tour
lists.
They were accompanied up the river
by a feet of Chinese gunboats and
when they landed they were divided
into small parties. From six to a
dozen Sikh policemen were placed in
charge of each party. On every street
corner was posted a notice warning
the Cantonese that any Chinese who
interfered with the foreigners would
be instantly beheaded. To show the
visitors that this was no idle warning
they We're led to the place of execution,
where a score of freshly chopped off
heads were lying on the ground.
The tourists came away with the
idea that this had been done for their
protection and was equivalent to the
action of the police authorities in an
American city locking up the thieves
and bunkomen during big convention.
DOCTOR WEEPS WHEN LOST
DR.. II. L. Amber of Cleveland, o. was
the only member of the party who had
anything like an adventure in Canton
He had some financial dispute with his
chair carriers who set him down in the
middle of the street and left him. He
was found there at dusk by another
party from the ship. The doctor was
weeping bitterly, as he had come to
the conclusion that he was lost in Can
ton and in grave danger of assassina-
ton. His friends found new bearers
who carried the doctor to his hotel,
where he arrived hungry, but whole
Manila took hospitable care of the
visitors from home and treated them
TO the best in the archipelago. Martin
Egan played host to as many he
could crowd around the biggest table
in his club. and the army and navy
joined hands to play host.
DR. Don NJ Waggoner of Lewiston,
Ill, one of the passengers, died while
the Cleveland was at Nagasaki, a vic
tim of cancer The body was brought
home on the liner.
FL F. Behrens of Wheeling. West
Va. was stricken with paralysis dur
ing the voyage. His son, Fl. F. Behrens
'Jr., who met the ship here and will
take his father home. said that his
mother died at sea three years ago
while on cruise to the Mediterranean.

Any Woman Can

ANY woman desiring abundant
lustrous hair should use a dry sham

four ounces of powdered orris root

will keep it light and fluffy and beau
