BULLION u ! / MISSED
FROM STEAMER
'CRIY0 MIARlU Il

Valued at $7O8, bar of silver, one
of many in a consignment of about
million dollars worth of bullion en-
route to Japan and China in the Jap
anese liner Chiyo Maru, was reported
as missing at the time the vessel
was ready to depart from the coast
for the coast of Asia. The silver, to
the amount of several thousand
pounds, was being transferred from
San Francisco deposit vaults through
Wellsg Fargo SaeEpress mess engers to
the specie tanks In the liner when a
double check maintained on the ship
ment is said to have revealed a short.
age of one heavy bar.
Despite the efforts of detectives,
the silver was = not recovered and
while constant watch was main
tanned on board the vessel during the
passage TO Honolulu, the mysterious
disappearance of the precious metal
yet remains unsolved.
With $50 souls on board, including
officers, crew and passengers in the
several classes, the Chiyo Maru,
though sailing one hour following the
Wilhelmina, did not reach a wharf
until an hour after the Matson vessel
had gained berth at Queen street
wharf.
I'VE met with a strong head sea
for some days after leaving the
coast" stated Purser Chapman. THE
weather was not exactly as pleasant
as might be wished.
Three cabin passengers will remain
at Honolulu for another vessel The
through list destined to Japan, China
and the Philippines includes IS cabin,
118 second class, and in the steerage
are 1873 Japanese, 167 Chinese, 81 In
dams and one Filipino.
With this large number of people
aboard the liner, no sickness deveI
oped on the way down from the coast.
The Chiyo is to be supplied with 500
tons of fuel oil and it is the intention
to dispatch the liner for the Far East
at 5 O'Clock this evening.
The Chiyo Maru was given the late
mail from the mainland to the islands,
about 100 sacks having been received
this morning.
Among the through passengers is
a party Of Japanese naval officers,
who are returning to Japan following
a leave of absence spent in Europe
and in the United States Several Of
flcials identified with the Philippine
insu!ar government have filled out a
leave of absence on the mainland and
are proceeding to the islands for duty.

vessel, however, arrived of Honolulu
with q total OF $50 persons on board.
OF this number 1t can be safely stated
that four hfths were Asiatics. While

was sent over the side of the Chiyo

mail for the islands was not turned
over to the proper authorities until
