Great Admiral Left Manila As Dewey
Sailed In.
Handsomest Snip to the Harbor- Captain Ster-
"ling's SloryorHow He Outwitted
the Enemy.
Of nil tbo deep water wesels in
Honolulu harbor to day, none can
tell a more interesting story of
'adventure-at sea than the spick
and span American chip Great
Admiral.
Great Admiral arrjvad in this
port early Saturday miming, 49
days from Newcastle with 1980
tons of coal, haviug experienced a
pleasant voyago from Australia.
Oaptain Stirling was master of
a wind jammor at 18 years of age,
has weathered many u howling
storm in many ships, has boon
shipwrecked, and, if he woie not
so modest, could tell many excit
ing tales of the ocean's perils.
Tbo Great Admiral was the last
boat to leave Manila harbor, pre
vious to the entranco of Admiral
Dewey.
"When Been by a Bulletin re
porter in his elegantly appointed
cabin, aboard tbo handcoma vessel,
this morning, in rolation to tho
Manila episodo, Oaptain Sterling
said:
"To be brief, tho trouble com
menced iu Manila when I got
loaded up and wanted clearance
papers. Tho authorities informed
mo of war having beon declared
between tho United States and
Spain and that they, would hold
mo in port and eieze my cargo. I
saw everybody conaeruod and
after much trouble I was given
24 hours to get to sea.
" 1 lost no time in quit
ting tho harbor, but
soon discovered that n Spanish
gunboat wsb following aud cir
cling around tho Groat Admiral.
This was early in the morning
and I did not fear tho Spaniard
as I bad been given a whole day
to get away in. Whou night fell
the warship was shut out from
sight and 1 immediately brought
the ship about so that she doubled
on her traoks. Afterwards, it was
ovident that the Spaniard intend
ed to captoro the Great Admiral
after tho 24 hours grac had ex
pired; but they lost in in tho
dark and I sailed with all possi
bio epood to Hongkong."
Tho Groat Admiral got to New
York late in tho fall of last year,
whence she wont to Boston, sail
ing from that port for Brazil and
Australia.
Oaptain Sterling's list voyage
lasted 14 months; the captain al
ways takes his wife and three
little children witn him on his
trips and they live ou the water
most of the time. Mrs. Sterling's
sister, Miss Lena Watt, is also on
the Groat Admiral this trip.
The oabios are models of cozi
ness, comfort and cheerfulness;
altogether the Great Admiral's
largo size, handsome model and
general appointments make her
the pride and envy of the harbor.
Work on Malawa Hal, c
Wailuku, Oot. 28. Japanese

work on tho new carriage road
from Halawa'to Fukoo. The road
hasboen repaired and improved,
as stated by ey o witneaet a who went

any material damage. Blasting

preoipitoua places. But the road
will novor be in a really good and
lasting condition on account of the
insufficiency of tho appropriation
for tho purpose.

Port Arthur.
Japanese Warship Approached the Port With
out Heeding Signals-Activity at Forts
and on Warships.
It will bo remomborcd that a
ahori timo ago the'peoplo of the
Orient wero exoitod by rumors of
an impending war betweon Russia
and Japan, and to such an extent
wero tboBo bolieved that many
Southerners doiog business in
Nowohwang, Port Arthur, and
Chofoo sent thqir families to
Shanghai and olsewhere for
safety. t
A Tientsin mandarin now in
this port gives the following ex
planation of tho origin of tho
rumors, which .must be taken for
what it is worth. Two Japanese
cruisers wero about six woeks ago
in the Gulf i.f Pcchili and at one
timo appearod boforo Port Arthur.
As tho cruisers bad the appoar
ancd of iutcuding to Bteam inside
tho p:rt, tho Russian.ollker at the
outor signal atasion hoisted a sig
nal implying that the port was
cloicd to foreign Bhips of war.
The Japanose senior offioar i'j
osmmand of tho two urnisors,
however, pretonded cot to under
stand tho llusbiau signal and
stcamod straight for tho harbor.
At a point nearly half way iu
sido and surrounded on nil sides
by forts, tho Japauoso leading
cruiser was met by a steam-launch
with a Russian offici.il, who board
ed the vessel and yorbally coni
inuuioated tho intelligence which
had bon indicated by tbi fignal
outsido tho harbor and at the
samo time warnod the Japanese
captain that timber ponotration
into tho harbor would be
resisted.
To emphasise the d 'duration a
oom motion was observed by those
oa board iu tho land forts and
soon it was seen (hat monaciug
propagations wore being mado.
Russian warships ineido tho bnsiu
wore also observed to be hastily
gottiug up steam and altogether
matters looked decidedly unpleas
ant. Tho Japanese captain then
simply bowed' out his Russian
v sitor and tho oialsera reti.ed.

Sent Out tor Hen,
Tbo bluejackets of the Newark
are not at all popular with tho
police and vice versa. That theso
samo blnojackots are not a very
wll behaved crowd seoms to be
proven by tho list of nanns the
police officers havo had to deal
with siuco Saturday. Lite on the
afternoon of that day the com
manding offioer of tho Nowark
was notified that thirty-one blue-
juckots had boen rounded up. A
guard of a dozon or so men wore
sent ssboro to escort tho prisonors
aboard ship.
Tho thirty-one bluejaokets wore
taken from prison. Upon arrival
in tuo receiving office one of the
number jumped up aud etruok

eout, further hostilities wero stop-
ped.
Then begau tbo inarch to tho

Wheu the parly arrived at Queon
stroet, another fellow broko aw&y
aud mado for tbo Honolulu Iron
Works where bo was caught by
two police officers who wero assist
iug the guard from tho ship.
Upjn arrival at tho lauding
another bluejiokot got, away,
jumped iuto tho water, swam to
the sohoouor Norma near by,
picked up an oar nnd threatened
any and all who would make au
attempt to capture him. Two of
tho guard went over ant, aftor a
scuilie, had the fellow captured.
As tho boat containing the blue
jackets hauled away from tho
lauding the police officers wore
treated to languago thoy havo had
much occbbiou of late to hear.!
Howovor, thoy romatupd perfectly
calm and said not a word. Cap
taiu Kauao was the only ono who
got a bit oxcited. Ha invited auy
tbreo of the men to call on him
should tluy como ashore again.
Upon arriving near tho Newark,
eoveral of tho prisonors jumped
overboard and began to swim out
fur various points. In less timo
