1 i NOT YET NOTIFIED

H. Haekfeld & Co., agents for the
Pacific Mail, did not receive any adj
vices yesterday as to the sale OF the
hve ships, but word is expected today.
=. w. Klebahn, secretary of H. Hack.
field a Co., announced changes In the
schedule, received by mail yesterday
morning ~ s9" 7.
The Korea will sail from San Fran.
cisco, September 20, and will not call
here. Beyond Yokohama and home.
ward she will follow the former SEIZED.
ule, which did not include a cali here.
She was due to sail from San francisco,
september Is, so that her schedule has
been moved back four days. This yoy-
age would have put her here September
"a. When she arrives here August 81
from the Orient for San Francisco,
Honolulu will bid her farewell ~
The other change is that the sailing
of the Siberia from San Francisco,
scheduled for September 25, has been
moved back four days, to September
20, but she will call here on this soy-
Rge arriving October 5 insteal Of
October l. There is now no reason to
suppose that the Korea, due August 81;
the Siberia due September Z; the China
due September FL, and the Manchur''a
due September 2S, all from the Orient,
will not call here.
Other Ships win Can
They will have to get home from1th
Orient, of course, and no cutting Of
schedules they could make ON these
voyages would help them to get in more
trips from San Francisco before the
N NINA 70 In ar ~
Mongolia was the only one of the
steamers that could succeed in that.
Therefor" until this part of the schea.
ute Is chans,d formally, it is expected
tnat these calls. will be made.
VI. Manchuria, due here September
ss, from the Orient, remains the last
ship from that direction, and the Man
churia, due octoher 22, from San Fran
cisco, remains the last ship from that
direction, except for the Persia which
will continue sailing, so far as known
now, until January rs, when she win
arrive from the Orient. The Persia
is British steamer, and is not affect
ed by the Seamen 8 Act until March
4, provided the treaties with other ma
tons are abrOgated, which does not
appear at all probable. The Nile, serN-
ing as a British transport, also is Brit
ish.
What disposition will be made of the
Persia and Nile is unknown. They are
not at all such ships as the five others,
especially the Big Four--the Manrhu
ria, Mongolia, Siberia and Korea
which are credit to any port.
Panama Fleet May Be Sold
Neither is there anything TO show
what win become of the Panama feet
of the Pacific Mail, which has been
overlooked in most of the talk concern
ing the suspension OF saiHngs. 1t does
not affect Hawaii at all, Of course.
An officer of the MaBchur.a, here
week ago, said he believed that the
Panama ships would be sold as well
as the Trans,Pacific carriers, since the
crews are Mexican and, therefore, cheap
as compared with Americans, and they
might have trouble in coming Inder
the language requirement.
"'Ships like the Manchuria and Mon
golia, Korea and Siberia, have been
our one big touch with the rest Of the
country; they have put us on the map
in shipping circles, - said well known
shipping man yesterday. "They were
ahV"h ONof bhO WOTit, anu IlOuOlulu
was known as a port of call for them.
Their railroad connections were big
advantage in keeping us in touch com
mercially with the whole United States.
Now they are gone, and l certainly
hate to see them go.n
Coast Service Crippled
Except for the Persia, there will re,
main only six steamers under the Am
erican flag between Honolulu and San
when the Sierra re
sumes her run, They are the four Mat
son ships and the two of the Oceanic
line besides the Sierra. Should the
Sierra be placed on the Sydney run,
as appears certain, sailings then would
be one each week by the Matson boats,
in each direction, and three each two
months by the Oceanic steamers in each
direction. Australian sailings OF that
line now are monthly, as are those OF
the Canadian Australasian line between
Vancouver and Sydney
= 1t is certain that the offices Of the
Matson and Oceanic lines in San Fran
cisco are considering the situation, since
they have had ample warning of what
the Pacific Mail contemplated, and tn"
move may hasten the contemplated com
IND of tbe Great Northern or Northern
Pacific. but there il nothing definite |
as to these points now.
