THE SHINYO MARU, FINEST OF
ALL BOATS ON THE PACIFIC

SuOulu JueTe De any necessity hel
long-distance wireless telegraphy in
struments can always summon aid. In
this connection it may be said that
these vessels are never out of touch
with land or some other vessels Sc
, fitted. The Pacific Ocean is too large
ly inhabited now to permit of steam
ers being far from aid. The usual at.
tention will be paid to the cuisine of
the new boat, and all comforts of an
up-to-date hotel will be found on her.
The first-class cabins are all outside
ones. The furnishings are superb.
Everything that will make for comfort
is included. Each room has the usual
upper and lower berth and a sofa, that
is made up as a berth only in times
of great crowding. Twin lavatories
are fitted in. To mention that the YES
sci is electrically lighted seems super
fluous.
The decks are so arranged that they
will be as free as possible from OBJ
structions. These numerous decks are
features of the Tenyo and Chiyo, but
improvements will be found in the
new vessel in this direction, as well
as increased accommodation for chill.
Gren, thus allowing them to be happy
in their laughter and their games
without in any way disturbing the
adult passengers. One feature, per-
haps, that viii stand out above all will
be the palm garden. This should be
an extremely popular innovation. So
far, detailed description of it has not
been received, but from the accounts
to hand it will be a great refuge. The
words palm garden alone are suf-
ticienf to make one conjure up some
thing especially alluring, while the
promise that an Hawaiian band Will
be engaged to play for the passengers
will heighten expectations.
In every other direction the same
scheme of elaborateness will be fol-
owed, and this will mean that the
and lounge rooms, the social
lall, ETC., will be the latest in the up-
lolsterers' and the decorators arts.
'he system of dining tables is on the
estaurant principle. Round tables
will be used, and each will have a ca
'acity for eight persons. This will !.
ppeal to many as an excellent inno-
alton.
The swimming tank has always ;
roved popular on every ship passing
through warm climes, and the espe-
tally large one on the Shinyo Maru
will be no exception. 1t can be safely
aid that all the features of the Ten
o Maru and the Chiyo Maru will be
etained, and, where they are not, it
ill mean that the change has been
or the better. The Shinyo Maru
hen she arrives here on September
or thereabouts, will bring with her
ne distinction of being the finest ship
lat has ever put into Honolulu.
The exact date of the vessels ar
wal will not be known for some
me yet, as it has already been an {
ounced that the maiden voyage will
7e an attempt after the record. 1t is !
)ntidently expected that many new
cures will be put up, and these
lould stand for long time to come i

A Manila paper comments on the .,
9rious falling off in the export of ci- :
lrs to the United States. The fig =
res for eleven months show an ex-
ort of 24,000,OO0 as compared with
100000 in the corresponding period
the previous year. The falling off
attributed to a malicious propa- +
nda carried on by enemies in the
nited States against the good name +
the Philippine cigar. Efforts are II
eng made by the Manila Tobacco +
ssociation to counteract this mis- tc
lief by a publicity camDaign." v
