service boat, will be an arrival III p0i'
tomorrow morning, according 10
wireless report received at the naVal
station.
Nothing is known as yet as to Wnere
the Buffalo comes from and what sue
is coming to this port for with the ex-
ception of the fact that she was down
at Shanghai and is to take 800 tons
of coal from here.
From this port she will proceed To-
Vallejo. She is in command of Com
mander Clarence M. Stone.
Another vessel of the special service
is the Supply which is expected here
at any time now. She is in command
of Lieutenant Commander Eugene L..
Bisset and is the station ship at Guam.
It is common talk that she is head
ed this way but for what reason rumor
saith not.
c. A. BOATS COMING.
The Makura of the CA. line is ex-
pected to be off port tomorrow morn
ing about nine o'clock according to a
wireless received. She brings a full
passenger list from Australia and
there will be only few cabins avail
able at this end.
The Mariana, coming from Vancou-
yer, is expected to reach here on We'd
nesday morning. Although there is
nothing known definitely it is thought
that there will be plenty of room for
people going to Australia, The Jul
venile Bostonians are on board for
here and this will leave a big gap in
the second class accommodation.
HERCULES FOR COAST.
The tug Hercules, that started out
to tow the dredge California to San
Francisco and had to return to port
on account of the tow leaking, left for
the coast yesterday without the
dredge.
Nothing has been decided as to what
will be done with the dredge which
is at the present time lying over near
the railroad wharf.
FACT AND RUMoR.
Being an eagle is a different ching
to thinking you are one. This re-
mark apropos of half column of we
slush that appeared
an evening paper on Saturday.
It appears that in April the Bulletin
made the statement that Captain Co
well might be on the bridge of the
steamer Ventura when she came
here on her way to Australia.
Last week the Star made the direct
statement that Cowell is to be captain.
The Bulletin, following its usual meth
DDS only printed half of what the Star
said and then made a comparison.
To quote a leaf from the Bulletin
It might be reiterated in passing
that if you want facts you must read

The work of unloading the James
Johnson of her lumber cargo is not
going along as fast as would suit her
captain. He hopes to get rid of the
deck cargo either today or early to-
morrow morning and will then make
a start on the sticks stored below.
He is particularly anxious to get
away in good time, for rates on the
Coast are rising rapidly and he feels
that he is missing good thing ~
waiting about here.
The City Milling Company is =
heavy importer of lumber just at the
present time, the Johnson being the
second vessel consigned to it within
few weeks. The e. K. Wood is also
expected to be among the arrivals
within a few days bringing another
load for the same consignee.
WINDS ARE LIGHT.
1t is predicted by those who are
supposed to know conditions that the
prevailing winds between the Coast
and this port are very light.
This supposition is based on the
fact that there are a number of wind
TANNERS overdue at the port and that
the steamers are reporting fine trips
throughout.
BURNING OF KAIMILoA.
The announcement made that the
Kaimiloa, the lone relic or the once
famous Hawaiian navy, is to be burnt
has been received with great interest
along the waterfront ana many tales
are being recalled of the famous
cruise when she was tracked across
the vast ocean by the trail of cham
payne corks she left behind her.
She was towed to Pearl Harbor by
the James Makee and would have
been burnt either today or tomorrow,
but it has been learnt that she was
