When next the Hamburg. American

of Kilauea and given an opportunity

most wonders, after which all will
come to Honolulu, enjoy day or two
here, and then proceed to New York
via Orient and Mediterranean ports.
This was the information given by
G. l.. Vogelsang, the company's repre-
sentative on board, shortly after the
vessel was released from quarantine
off the port of Honolulu yesterday fore
noon, and is the direct result of hearty
cooperation of the Hamburg American
Company with the promotion commit
tee, after couple of years negotia-
tons.
The Hilo-Kilauea entry into the tim
erary of the Hamburg Com
pany's world cruises will make that
voyage one of the most complete that
could be planned.
Oahu Smiled for Tourists.
The Cleveland was a little late in
arriving yesterday from San Francisco
and, although expected off port by
eight clock, Captain Kier did not
have her up to the quarantine area
until long after nine, but he brought
the vessel up quickly and displayed
much seamanship in maneuvering the
great ship.
| AS the promotion committees boat
neared the ship, shouts of " Hooray!"
came from the steamer, while those
aboard called "Aloha.'' The promo
ton launch was well filed, number
of young ladies being aboard with
loads of beautiful and fragrant leis.
The flowers caught the eyes of the
multitude at the rail and they seemed
eager to have them on board.
The ship was passed by the quaran-
tine doctors about a quarter to eleven,
when those in the launches were per
mitted to go aboard. 1t was merry
crowd which received the leis around
their necks and hats and many shout
ed their appreciation for the American
outpost in the middle of the Pacific.
The liner was brought into port and
alongside the Alakea wharf without
mishap, and there the travellers were
greeted with musical welcome by the
Hawaiian band, the band of the ship
| playing in return.
Getting Acquainted.
1t was a voyage uneventful in many
respects, as the passengers are just be
ginning to get acquainted. The aver
age age of all the travellers is a little
above that of the preceding crowd
which was landed at San Francisco
and has not altogether struck its best
gait in the way of entertainment, but
after limbering up bit in Honolulu
this crowd is expected to finish at New
York as one of the jolliest of all the
1olly crowds that have eruised around
the world.
Mayor Jay Fern was an imposing
figure rs the first citizen of Honolulu
ON the promotion launch. He was rec
ognized by some who had previously
made the trip and was greeted with
many friendly shouts. He welcomed
the malihinis to the city.

Hooghly River Pililia.
The Cleveland is here day ahead OF
her usual calling time, in order that
time may be gained at Calcutta should
the Hooghly River tide be such that
the liner will be delayed there agaiI
as it was on the way East.
A few evenings ago the Clevelander'
were entertained Mt an informal dance
where all got together and made thu
best of splendid evening. The music
was good and there were many belle'
at the ball, Mrs Gagner being voted
one of the leaders.
