JAPANESE SHIPS
MISSION KEPT 4
MYSTERY

/ Mystery is attached to the mission
of the Japanese freighter Tsuiugisan
Maru, which today came to a berth
at the Inter-Island Steam Navigation
bunkers. The vessel carries, in addi.
ton to a shipment of coal, a quantity
of provisions, alleged to be destined for
delivery at Ocean island.
The Tsuiugisan Maru was chartered
by the Inter-Isiand to bring 1900 tons
| of Japanese coal, supplied at Muro-
ran. The vessel left the Japan coast
on January Is. Captain E. HashimotO
reported very rough weather The YES
sells lower decks were constantly in.
undated by tremendous seas that de-
/ layed the progress of the steamer.
| Arrangements were made this morn
| ing for the quick delivery Of the coal.
Captain Hashimoto and his officers
had little to say concerning the con-
signment of supplies ON board the YES
sci. The place designated for the dis
| charge Of the shipment Of foodstuffs
and medical supplies is the headquar
tiers fora British phosphate company
which from time to time has furnished
the islands with fertilizer. 49,.
That the additional cargo sent from
japan in the Tsuiugisan Maru may be
intended for the fleet of Japanese war
vessels, said to be cruising in IIa-
waiian waters, is a supposition held
in this city. The manifests show much
of value to the maintenance of bat
tleship or its complement of officers
and men. - f.. ...." -.
