from the Pacific Mail Inner kOT"-
which sailed from Honolulu for San
Francisco Il, ten O'Clock 'hiS morning,
are in the possession T., tn" collector
Of Customs al the port Of Manila. and
for his reason the local staff of i'll
SptcOrS al Tic port OF Honolulu in
~tirut"d a determined aurveilldmC" up
on that N,-s,j during the entire l"Hglh
Of STAY Of ;hr Korea ut AIakra harf.
TWO Chinese boys connected with
the rnCnrrTine department of the
Pacific Mail liner passed through Oh
that vessel today, who are alleged t.
lave figured in a sensational arrest
at Manila al which time il is declared
they were discovered in the act OC
landing q tins, each containing 2Zj
grams OF the drug. The Chinese
were brought before a Philippine tri,
bunal and We're fined five hundred
dollars each. The money was forth
coming before the vessel sailed from
the Philippine port and the Chinese
We're permitted to join their ship on
The present voyage.
Throughout The visit of the Korea
at Honolulu, a delegation Of customs
mel conducted a thorough search OF
the vessel for opium. No part of the
liner was permitted to escape the
quest Of the iynN-eyed inspectors.
The belief seemed general that mas
much - th" IIaSIant attempt had
been made to land the dope at Man
lila, Honolulu might also be an object
i've point for The operation Of the al
legged smuggloIs.
The tact that the Korea was order
ed to omit call at Shanghai on the
voyage. owing TO the presence Of
cholera, served to lend belief to the
theory that the drug, believed stored
aboard that vessel could not under
any possibility be disposed of, and
must be carried through to the main
land, where, perhaps, further at
temps will be made to land the opium
on arrival at San Francisco.
