DELAY 7OCHINA
COSTS BIG sum

With each days delay costing her
owners Well above $4,000. the China
Mall liner China is three days late
today and present indications are that
repairs to her bursted main steam
pipe will not be completed before to-
morrow If at all. A new pipe may
have to be put in.
! This afternoon the China moved
over from Pier to Pier after the
Pacific Mail liner Venezuela had left
This morning it was planned to move
the China to Navy Pier No. 2, but
later 1t was decided to give the China
Mailer Pier s. The T. K. K. liner
Siberia Maru took the China's old
berth this afternoon.
1t now looks as though a new main
steam pipe of steel will have to be
installed, as attempts TO- braize the
assures in the old copper pipe have
not met with success. The pipe is
712 inches in diameter.
The China was to have left Friday
afternoon for the Orient. Her hour
OF departure was later set for Sunday
evening, but now it will probably be
tomorrow, as the Honolulu Iron
Works could not promise to have the
new pipe done and installed before
then, although a tentative hour of de-.
parture had been set for p. m. to-,
DAY at the steamer this morning.

TRUNKSOF OPIUM
AREBROKENOPEN

Furnished with a good description
of the man they are after, customs
inspectors and agents of the custom
house are eombing} Honolulu today to
find and arrest a man known as B.
Castoy, who, they believe, attempted
to smuggle 401 tins of No. Hongkong
opium, worth $50 a tin Honolulu
prices, into this port on the Matson
steamer Manoa. g I'd
I'VE think Castoy IS a Spaniard.
We have an excellent description of
him and think we shall be able to
get him, z said Acting Collector Of Gus.
toms Raymer Sharp today eve have
been working to apprehend the man
since Saturday afternoon"
According to the acting collector,
watch had been kept on two trunks
billed to Castoy, who, was a passen.
ger on the Manoa, since the trunks
were put ashore at Pier is; Tuesday,
Inspector John olfVeira was detailed
to watch the trunks. Shortly before
noon Saturday Sharp gave orders to
have them opened, Castoy not having,
appeared to claim them, evidently hav-
ing fears that knowledge of their con-
tents was suspected by the customs
people. ... .- = ....#;
Search Of the trunks revealed the
presence of 401 tins of No. Hongkong
opium, worth $50 a tin in Honolulu
and $40 in San Francisco. At Homo.
lulu prices this makes the seizure
worth $4,000. of $1,000 San Fran
cisco valuation. -. + :. Is
No announcement of the seizure
was made to. the newspapers: by the
customs authorities, who withheld the
news in order to have a better
chance to capture Castoy. The news
leaked out through some waterfront
employees, who saw the trunks being
opened and realized the contents we're
the Illicit drug.
Acting Collector Sharp said today
he believes the opium was sent from
Hongkong into British Columbia or
Mexico and was sTnuggled5 across the
border from there to San Francisco.
where it was put aboard the Manoa
to be smuggled into Honolulu.
