j tine Aurora, after eighty-four days at
J Kea, were obliged to view Honolulu
from ..afar. Captain Sarauelson, mas
ter, of the vessel that carries seven
teen hundred tons Australian coal.
destined for san Francisco, is not
taking any possible chance of losing
bin crew, through the tempting al
lurements offered by a visit ashore.
Several cables have passed between
tho skipper and his representatlvs on
the coast with a view of having the
coal discharged at Honolulu, but so
far without success.
The American barkentine Aurora,
from Newcastle, N. S. W., came to
anchor off the port late Tuesday af
ternoon. Captain Samuelsen is here
irainly for provisions, s sufficient .to
carry his vessel to San Francisco, to
which port the coal; is consigned.
Hind. liolph & Co. are the coast
egents for the vessel.
The passage from , the Antipodes
was a long and tedious one owing to
a Fuccessioi of calms interspersed by
strong winds and gales. A number of
shipwrights left Honolulu" for the ves
sel this morning to effect some minor
repairs tb a donkey engine, and also
to recaulk a portion of the wind jam
mer above the waterllne.
- It Is the present Intention to dis
patch the Aurora for the Pacific Coast

The vessel will not, be. brought inside

Fighting Shy of Panama Trade
Not a single hid has been received
by the Postof flee Department under
the advertisement for proposals to
carry the mails to Panama by steaMer
after the opening of the canal.
Bernard N. Baker, of Baltimore, the
man who started the "Money trust"
probe by declaring that the Money
trust had. foiled his plans for bidding
last year, ' didnot put in ' a bid .this
year. His failure to submit any sort
of a proposal was a disappointment to
Postmaster General Hitchcock, who
practically had bids advertised for his
benefit i A : .:, '
More than a year ago, the Postoffice
Department advertised extensively for
bids to carry the mails under sub
sidy, on two or more routes, on both
the Atlantic and . Pacific coasts.
Mr. Baker conferred 'with fcie de
partment ..and announced, plans for
the organization of a big company' to
operate ' steamers on both coasts and
through the canal. One of the. routes
was to be operated from Baltimore
and Chesapeake bay: When Novem
ber 25, 1911, the date for bids, rolled
around, however, no bids for service
were received. The "- Postof flee" -De-partment
was,4i8appolnted. v v . ;
."Mh'Bdker then-nttaJned rauch'pub-
licity by declaring that his failure to
get his company properly organized
was through the opposition and re
strictions thrown in his way by the
"Money trust" 1 It was largely on his
allegations that the Department ; of
Justice and Congress undertook the
Money trust investigations which is
still pending.

reason that no official word has been
received as to their coming. Major
Timberlake, however, has received a
personal .letter from one of the offi
cers, saying that he was ordered to
Ruger, and the war department or di
vision order is looked for by the next
mail. What to do with the troops is
a problem, fbr there is no available
camp site except the parade ground.
and to have men in camp directly in
front of the officers' line would be
highly objectionable. It has been sug
gested that the two new companies be
camped inside the Diamond Head era

imprisonment than barracks life, there

Two Filipinos, laborers at Waima-

today, each bearing wounds inflicted
by 32-caliber revolvers, the trouble
arising over attentions bestowed upon
a woman of the same nationality, who

of the participants in the affray.
Pedro de Surrao, husband of the

'in arousing the "green-eyed monster,"

I Jose Almonde, who is declared to
have been an "amigo" obe man and
woman all parties hailing from the
pines ' received a bad wound in his
right hand as well as stopping the
progress of a leaden missile with his
right leg.
The trouble occurred some little dis
tance from the office of the planta
tion. Jealousy is said to have existed
between the two men for some days.
Yesterday morning, some words in
choice Tagalog were-passed, when, it
is alleged, without warning the guns
flashed and an exchange of shots fol
lowed. The shooting was promptly reported
