iron rod, the searchers did not trust
to luck but provided any packages
or piece of baggage found in crew
and Asiatic steerage quarters that
gave promise of revealing the much
coveted tins of valuable drug.
II was when the vessel finally pull
ed away from the wharf shortly after
ten this morning that squad OF ex-
ceedingly tired customs men breathed
the first long drawn sigh of relief and
then proceeded to the customs house
and turned over the several tins of
dope that they found in the course of
the search.
Mongolia Believed Rich In Dope.
While not admitted by the Federal
officials 1t is generally believed that
a tip had been received here that
large quantities of opium had gone on
board the Mongolia while that vessel
lay at Hongkong The local customs
were evidently disappointed in the re-
suit OF the search as much more dope
was expected to have made its ap-
pearance.
The vessel sailed for the coast with
every stateroom holding three passen-
gers. Down in the second class, nine
teen cabin passengers were furnish
ed sleeping accommodation One hun
dred and twenty-five steerage passen-
gers embarked at this port they con-

scattering of Spaniards and Porto Ri

temporary quarantine was imposed
upon the ship and her passengers UNI
I'll such time as DR.. Carl Ramus had
completed an investigation of the
case of illness. The presence OF
smallpox at Nagasaki, Japan, led the
local medical stan TO take extraor-
binary precautions. The sickness
having been found uninfectious the
ban was lifted enabling several hun
dred cabin passengers to leave the
ship before six o'clock.
The Mongolia arrived here with one
OF the largest lists of passengers in
her history. The vessel brought 1862
passengers for Honolulu including 7
cabin, IL second class and 134 steer

226 cabin, SO second class and 222
,, Asiatic steerage. In addition to these,
Messrs. II. Hackfeld and Company,
the local agents have provided trans
portation for forty cabin and 100
steerage passengers.
The Mongolia pulled away from
Alakea wharf at ten o'clock this
morning destined for San Francisco
with six hundred and fifty passengers
on board.
Last night swarm OF stevedores
made quick work OF nineteen hundred
tons general cargo comprising gun
MES, some shipments OF tea and ia
panese provisions. The wharf is now
piled high with bales, bages and,bun-
dies.

twelve thousand tons Oriental mer-
chandise and products destined for
the mainland. This occasioned the
Mongolia setting SO deep in the wat

exercise of much skill that Captain
Macaulay, the pilot brought the YES

shoaling bottom of the harbor.
