! UHI VI JILL
Los Angeles win hereafter be a
regular port Of call FOR passenger and
cargo steamers operated BY the Togo
Kfsen Kafsha. The Anyo Maru. which
left Honolulu for Yokohama scn De-
cember 20, will be the first vessel TO
enter into the new service, is the
report received from Japan confirm
ing the announcement made by the
Star-Bulletin some days ago.
In addition to the Anyo Maru. the
Kiyo and Seiyo sMarus win follow a
route from South American. ports that
will include stap at Balboa before
proceeding northward to Les Angeles.
The change is said to be eansed by
prospects OF more tonnage. 1t Is be-
lieved that the Japanese COMPANY
contemplates placing several addition
al steamers IN the service. The trade
between China. and japan and South
and Central America is increasing.
The smaller vessels that formerly
carried the business between these
points have been replaced by larger
and modernly equipped cargo carriers.
One Of the most important changes
made in the service followed the di-
version of several steamers to Hiio.
Notwithstanding that vessels flying
the Japanese flag can not carry cargo
between two American ports, the ex-
tension Of the T. K. II. service in the
Pacific. 1t is predicted, will result in
more frequent visit of its liners to
Honolulu.

freightef Isthmian will be rushed at

ran ashore on San Benito island off
the lower coast some weeks ago and
is now at San Francisco drydock. Aft
er being foated from its perilous posi-
ton the vessel was conveyed to San
Diego by the United States cruiser
West Virginia, and there discharged
most Of its cargo, which was undam-
aged. It was reported that the vessel
carried large shipment of island |
pineapples when it met with the acct |
dent. The damaged freight will be
removed at San Francisco. A num-
Der of new plates win be required to |
complete repairs.
