WHITE SLAVES FOR HONOLULU
TAKEN FROM MANCHURIA
Revenue Cutter Chases Liner Outside of Three Mile Limit
and Four Women Are Forced to Leave Vessel and Return
to San Francisco; Arrival of Mysterious Woman Re-
Gently Is To Be Investigated

I Off, the little Federal tug sounded a
warning toot and, following close In
the wake of the big transpaeifie liner,
quartet of Uncle Sans officers were
soon scrambling up the Jacobs ladder
lowered for their special benefit.
The arrest of the women was made
without display of resistance upon
the part of the accused white slav-
ers. One problem which confronted
the officials, both governmental and
steamship, was the removal of the fair
passengers from shipboard in the open
sea. After some discussion the wo-
men were persuaded to descend to the
awaiting launch by means Of the lad
der.
Bound for Honolulu.
From what could be gained on board
the liner this morning, it was the in
tention of the party to leave the Man
churia at Honolulu, as inquiries had
been made concerning a trip to the
volcano. The arrest of the quartet
upon a charge Of being implicated In
white slavery" proved genuine sur
prise to those who witnessed the ar
rest and removal Of the prisoners.
Z An investigation by officers in the
vessel developed the fact that some
Of the baggage and personal effects Of
the quartet of women were marked
for Yokohama, while other belongings
were labeled for removal at Honolulu.
Local officers have bestirred them
selves in the matter to an extent that
they have decided to make inquiry
into the arrival of rather mysterious
woman passenger at Honolulu by re-
cent liner, whose line of occupation,
it is declared, might not bear close
investigation. The charge has been
made that there is more or less reg
ular influex Of questionable characters
passing through the port on transpa-
ejfic liners, and in number Of in
stances these parties have decided to
remain over to better enjoy the de-
lights of the Paradise of the Pacific.

here last in 1902, and In the ten years
that have passed see many more
changes and improvements, although
it seems pity In a way that.so much
of the individuality of the Islands has
been lost. When I was here before
we used to anchor and tie the ships
stern to the reef. Il seemed of to
come right up to the dock this morn.

Mr.. Ransford Miller is q State De
partment official with a long record
for efficiency behind him. He is chief
of the Division of Far Eastern Affairs,
and has been to Honolulu number of
times. Mr.. Miller speaks japanese
sfiuently and knows the country well,
and in this he will be very caluable
man on the present trip.
Trip Was uneventful.
The trip from Seattle of the cruiser
Maryland was Ineventful, smooth
sea and fair weather accompanying
the Knox party all the way across.
It was not until the ship had clear
ed from Seattle that it was definitely
decided that the voyage would be
made via Honolulu. The choice OF
the two routes was put up to Secre-
tary Knox, who, upon inquiry, found
that there was little difference in time
and that better weather was apt to be
met with on the southern route, and
chose it accordingly.
Captain Ellicott didn't tell me that
he had two daughters in Honolulu
until after had decided to come
here" said the Secretary. When I
found that out was douply glad that
we were coming this way"
The Maryland is today taking on
1900 tons of coal and expects to have
full bunkers by evening. Everything
will be shipshape for the reception Of
the Knox party tomorrow noon, and at
o'clock the cruiser will cast off and
point her nose for Yokohama.
Secretary Knox is still uncertain as
to the exact program after reaching
Japan. He has cabled for informa-i
ton, nut has notsyet been advised.
For the Funeral Ceremony.
AS a floral tribute from America,
Secretary Knox has aboard the Mary
land a wreath from feet in diameter,
made of magnolia and cycas leaves.
The wreath was made by Seattle
florist on Geographic orders from
Washington.

What is declared this morning to
have been the most gigantic and elab-
crate attempt upon the part of Coast
parties to ship white slaves into the
Territory of Hawaii, was nipped in the
bud by the arrest of a richly-gowned
woman, together with three female
companions, who had taken passage
in the Pacific Mail liner Manchuria,
at San Francisco, according to the
story brought by officers of that yes
sci on arrival at Honolulu this morn
ing.
The big steamship had cleared the
Golden Gate, and was we'll outside the
three-mile limit of the port, when g.
United States revenue cutter steamed
out in the trail of the liner and, fol-
lowing an Interchange of signals by
means of flags, the Manchuria was
oVerhauled, squad of officers board
ed the vessel and, after a few prelim-
inaries, in which Capt Dan" Friele
and his officers participated, the Fed
eral authorities were permitted to re-
move the four young women passen-
gers, amid the intense excitement of
two hundred or more fellow passen-
gers.
What is claimed a most fragrant
violation of the white slave act led to
the arrest and return of the Women,
who, according to Manchuria officers,
were expected to leave the vessel at
Honolulu.
Were FashionabIy Attired.
Booked as the Misses Heath, Kelly
and Ward, under the chaperonage of
a Mrs. Hamilton" the party of fash
women occasioned a
trifle more than passing interest
among the crowd of passengers and
visitors who thronged the decks Of
the Manchuria before the sailing hour
With the departure of the liner from
the San Francisco wharf, the party of
disappeared from view, pre-
taking to their cabins.
