Prominent Passengers Arrive on Kashmir.
The P. and O. Haar Kashmir arrived at Hongkong yesterday morning from London and Ant werp with 70 passengers and about 1,700 tons of general cargo. There were 2 passengers and 500 tons of freight for this part, the principal item of the latter being 250 steel ginters from Antwerp. After loading cargo and taking in 3,000 tons of bunker coal supplies at the Continental part the Kashmir sailed from London on June 24 for the Far East. The vessel had an uneventful voyage and made good time on the | passage, arriving off Green Island
on Saturday night.
The Kashmir brought 237 bigS of mail from London on June 30 and therefore came round in a month, a very notable perform- auce these days, Before the Kashmir left London orders were received that she would take the Far Eastern mails to their destina- tion by water without tranship- ment overland as is customary. At Aden the Kashmir waited 30, hours for the steamer Mores to. arrive from Marseilles with the mails for the Straits, China and Japan. Instead of sending the 10 ail overland by
