Wanted to Stay Here
Before the Cleveland arrived at Ho.
nolulu about twenty had signified their
intention of leaving the vessel here
and proceeding to the Coast later. The
day before getting to port wireless
message told of the coastwise law pill
kia, and the announcement was made
that prospective passengers for Homo.
lulu would have to change their minds
and go on to San Francisco.
Sunday and yesterday that the list of
those who wished they might land here,
and that VOID might be received from
Washington permitting them to leave
the vessel here, went up to about a
hundred. This is not a mere hearsay
utterance. 1t is statement of fact,
Mr.. Clark stated this to be the case
and many of those who had intended
remaining here, stated that others had
joined them in this wish.
Captain Dempwolf Has Crouch.
Captain Dempwolf, commander of
the Cleveland, however, made the state
ment yesterday that, although there
were twenty people who hoped to stop
off at Honolulu, yet they had all chang
ed their minds and wouldn It stay. This
is the captain IS statement. The cap
tain in this instance is not stating
facts. He is stating his own feelings
as those of others. The captain has a
crouch against Honolulu, but this is
possibly not so great as the one which
many Honolulans have against him.
He states frankly that he does not
like Honolulu and would have nothing
to do with the place except that his
Captain Dempwolf probably viii not
rives here again next month, and prob
ably may not be invited to.
When the Cleveland arrived off port
Sunday morning, several launches how
cred about the big liner laden with
committees. The mayor, the promotion
committee with bevy of girls to place
leis upon the travellers, big baskets of
leis, and flowers, two Hawaiian quintet
clubs, committee of Christian En-
deavorers, delegation of Elks, and
many others went out to meet the YES
sci, and, according to invitation by
wireless, expected to go aboard, as
committees always do with other YES
sells they meet outside.
When Dr. Sinclair had finished his
count of the Cleveland's passengers,
! and the people in the launches expected
the yellow flag to be lowered, the
steamer started for the harbor. Pilot
Sanders called the captain IS attention
to the people in the launches, saying
that they wished to board the vessel
but Captain Dempwolf shouted orders
to the second officer that he did not
want anybody to come aboard and gave
orders for the vessel to enter the har
Dor. Mr.. Clark, conductor of the tour
was down below decks at the time and
did not know that the steamer had left
the committees out at sea.
When the passengers found that the
committees were being left behind
they wondered and sent for Mr.. Clarh
and asked the officers why it was being
done. They were told by the officers
that Captain Dempwolf had given posi-
tive orders. 1t was then too late fol
Mr.. Clark to do anything, and the peo
pie in the launches had to suffer Sc
we're wetting, almost everyone being
drenched by sea water. Cleveland pas
sengers expressed indignation at thu
treatment of the committees.
But Captain Dempwolf's attitude
then can best be understood when hi
expressed himself ON the eve of his de
parture as saying Honolulu is "nt
good" and unworthy of his gooC
opinion.
The passengers do not agree will
Captain Dempwolf.
