SIERRA DUE EARLY TOMORROW.
The agents of the Oceanic liner
Sierra received a wireless message
} from that steamer last night at eight
O'Clock announcing that she would
dock at the Oceanic wharf, foot of
Fort street, early tomorrow morning.
At the time of sending the message
the Sierra was 600 miles from this
port. She reported further that she
has on board 1O1 cabin passengers,
thirteen steerage passengers, 3191
tons of general cargo for this port
and 1877 bags of mail from the main
land
The agents who handle the book
ings for the Sierra have been annoyed
recently by the circulation of rumors
to the effect that the steamer was
booked to the limit and could carry
no more passengers. Present indica-
lions show that the bookings will
probably not exceed 175 for the re-
turn voyage, which would leave ample
room for any one who might decide
to go at the last moment, and at the
immediate present the applications
for places in the cabin do not ap-
proach this number. The Sierra has
been carrying almost her full capac-
ity of passengers to the Coast on the
last two or three voyages, and the i'm
preston seems to have taken grip
on the tourists in Honolulu that for
place in the steamer. While she did
take out more than 200 on the last
trip, local travellers have forgotten
that when she was on the old run to
the Antipodes she used to take 300
or more and leave them all room to
expand and breathe freely.
CROWN OF ARRAeoN OFF TODAY.
| The British freighter Crown of Ar
ragon which has discharged about
$500 tons of general cargo in this
port consigned to Fred l.. Waldron,
sailed at noon today for the Coast
She has about 5000 tons of general
merchandise to discharge at San
Pedro, San Francisco, Victoria and
Vancouver. At the last port she will
receive orders from England for fur
Their movements. 1t is possible that
she will be sent to the Orient to load
Oriental goods for England, or she
may be ordered directly back to Brs-
toll, whence she came.
captain MlLLER's ACTIVITIES.
Captain Miller, who is fitting up the
old schooner Sailor Boy for his trip
to Ocos, in Guatemala, where he pro-
poses to take off the German steamer
Sesostris, is progressing rapidly with
his work of rigging the vessel and
equipping her for the voyage. She
is now lying near the foot of Fort
street completely overhauled from

busy preparing to put up the top
masts, install the pumps and engines
and get the requisite cables and
ropes in place. In spite of the doubt
ing attitude of many local shipping
men Captain Miller Is still certain
of success in his enterprise and as a
side issue on the trip he will probably
take the pipe from Pearl Harbor,
which the dredger failed to take to
San Pedro. The Sailor Boy will be
ready for the exploit in about three
weeks, the captain estimates.
While the schooner is being rugged

schooner Luka, on the other side, is
being equipped with sixty-five horse
power gasoline engines in anticipa-
ton of her trip to Tanning Island,
The engines are already on board and
