bad decided to raise tbu dividend on

2Vi per cent a mouth.
Somo tlma ago It vvns contemplati-d
to take this step, but action was de
layed as a (pioium could not ho secured
lor n dli e( tors' meeting, owing to the
nliscmo of several of tho directors in
ftm Francisco. Consequently nothing
could bo done hoforo they had hteu
tousulled by mall. This wns dune
and tho Slberii yesteidny brought tho
welcome iiovvh that they consented In
the raise.
"Tho dividend has been raised to 2',!i
per cent until further notice," said Rob
ertson this illuming. "That is SO cents

While the Increase of dividend,
which was toiilidcntly expected, mused

Mr. Dillingham was asked If ho had

answered that he had not taken that

he vald, a growing tendency to toko up
bonds,
"(Una Is all right," continued Mr
Dillingham. "I hear tho most favor

Hamakua, namely that it has to change

which is one of our most prosperous
plantations, there wan a time when
Onomea was very poorly off, but tho
change from Luhalna to Yellow Cale

"Of course tho tanking of the change

Tlio only thing tho Anegawn ilM

Tho same day tho Anegawn dropped

Tho Japanese wire had been made

on this wire, but found that tho end
had been (aught In tfn, .Oral on the bed

suddenly the Mongolln slid oft the reef

When It parted It cuirled nvv ly a large

When tho Mongolia struck on Sat

As soon as the Mongolia struck she

As tho Mongolia steamed Into the

the cargo, such as silks, etc., were tak
en to tho land In tho vessel's boats
This was a hard task, fur it meant a
row of three miles. On this account
the steam launches ot tho Japanese
vessel would hove been of the greatest
srvico, could they have been secured,
Lilt, as stated above, the Japanese com
mander refused cither to sell or loan
them. The Anegawn did tow some of
the bonis of the Mongolia about a mile
In, nnd then dropped Ihem and let Ihem
make their own way ns best they could.
The Japanese returned to their useless
MHinillng.
When the Ship Struck
When ;be Mongolia struck. Second
OltUer Cahlll wan on the bridge. The
Fouith o'lUer, Mr. Wlseiihaven, and
Captain Porter were on duty. Quaiter
master Wagner wan at the wheel.
Offered Him Coal
When the Japancso vessel unexpect
edly appeared, she was signalled bud
replied. Captain Porter asked her to
stand by and il what she could to aid
him In his trouble. Captain liana buw
made excuses that he was short, ot coal
and could not stand by. Porter' offered
him all the coal hn needed, but the
Japanese replied that It was too much
trouble to lake It aboard.
Captain l'ortei replied that Iho Ane
gawn was n ship of vvnr and that it was
his duty to nld any vessel In distress.
Still Ilanabusn refused.
Porter mid the purser went nboard
one of the Inumhen to nrgo Hanaguxa
to reconsider his determination. Ila
nabusn ordered them to get off at once.
The next day the Jdpaueso vessel
steamed away fur Honolulu, to be
greeted with cheers by Iho local Jap
anese and welcomed cordially by thu
Americans. Perhaps the wclcomo would
nut have been so cordial had tho truth
of the matter been known. Instead ot
Hie story told by the Japanese. Hut
they were, oh, so sorry that they were
obliged In leave tho American vessel
on the reef, and they would have stayed
and bellied her off It they hadn't been
so short of coal I
Looked the Same
Ah tbe Mongolia steamed In this
morning, sho did not look so much
tbe worso for the experience she hud
been through, Her sides were stained
n little, and there wero several streams
of water from the pumps pouring out
of each side. Hut the decks were clean
and nothing,, superficially, seemed
changed.
A glance Into hold number 3 showed
that there was a large amount of water
In It. Thcro Is uhout seven feet of
water In the hold now. At one time
their, vvns as much as 13 feet.
In one of the holds was a quantity oi
cement In haircls. 'Iho water got to
this and It promptly solidified. Tbe
weight nettled down mid to a large ex
tent prevented the water from coming
in.
When tlin Mongolia left Midway, all
the passengers nail the mall were trans
feired to tho Itulord. There were about
GO cabin passengers nnd in the neigh,
borhood of 20 Orientals. The Itulord
nccompanied the Mongolia all the way
from Midway, both vessels coming in
nt the samo lima this morning. The
Restorer wns met, but Captain Melralf,
who was aboard her on his way to aid
Hie stranded vessel, went on to Mid
way. Oil tho Mongolia when she struck was
Cuplaln Klltgaird, of the firm ot Bam
oflon and Ktltgarrd, of Vladivostok, an
agent of l.lojds. He wired Captain
Melcalf that ho. was aboard, and Met
calif delegatej him to tako charge of
opeiatlous until he himself should ar
rive. However, this proved unnecca
sarjl, Iho Mongolia getting oft the reef
hi much mot a easily than had been ex.
peeled.
