The Rio de Tnnolro was three days
overdue from Hong Kong via Honolulu
when she arrived off the IIads Thurs
day night and the dense fog prevail
ing at the time induced Pilot Jordan
to bring her to anchor until he could
Bee his way dear through the gate
way She laid to until about 4n0 a
m when the atmosphere cleared and
fihe was started under a slow bell
toward Point Ronitn Ail went well
until 540 oclock when she struck
Most of the passengers were below nt
the time and It is believed that many
of them were drowned in their berths
TlIgH to UlU IuSCIM
The first news of the disaster
reached here at 730 oclock and soon
afterward a boat load of rescued pass
engers and petty olliccrs arrived at
the mail dock Tugs were immediately
dispatched to render any service that
might be needed but no living persons
were afloat when they reached the
wreck A number of drowning people
were rescued by Italian fishermen and
the bodies of two white women three
Chinese and a Japanese were brought
in by the tugs The search for more
of the victims continued all day
From ail accounts it appears that the
ofllcers were cool and gave the neces
sary orders with the least possible ex
citement There was not much con
fusion until fifteen minutes after strik
ing the bow of the vessel suddenly
plunged under water Then there was
n wild rush for the boats Two boats
had already been lowered and others
were getting away as rapidly as the
trained discipline of the crew could
prepare them A thick fog enveloped
iverything and as yet no sign had
come from the life saving stations
Darkness was all about and with tills
ridded honor the people on the Rio
anil to creep
While all this was going on Captain
Ward was directing the passengers and
trying to keep them from panic He
succeeded only partly as many of the
terrified people rushed to the railings
find Jumped overboard Some of those
were picked up others were drowned
The Chinese crew to the number of
ivor a hundred were terrorized Rome
of them huddled in little groups chat
tering In fear Others crouched close
to the deck moaning pitifully Many
jumped Into the sea
That tbo steumer sank nlmost imme
diately after striking is the report of
a majority of those rescued
The wreck lies about three fourths or
a mile south of Fort Point and about
a thousand yards off the rocky shore
The smoke stack nnd u portion of the
tipper works of the ill fated steamer
arc visible
There are several conflicting stories
concerning the fate of Captain Ward
The steward of the Rio says that he
ntood beside the captain when the ves
sel went down Two other survivors
say thnt they also saw the captain to
the last but Frederick Llndstrom the
quartermaster officer of the Rio em
phatically declared that Captain Ward
emulated Admiral Trion of her British
majestys ship Victoria in going down
to his cabin where he met his doom
behind a locked door
TJIot Jonlani Story
Pilot Jordan made the following
Ptatement When the vessel struck I
ordered all the boats out The ilrst
boat out was that of the doctor It
was half filled with water no sooner
than she strick I got a ladder and
placed a woman on It nnd we began
to descend She had a boy with her
n child about 8 years She gave him
to me I held him In my arms and the
little fellow had his arms around my
neck The woman and I were about
half way down the ladder when the
Rio gnve a tremendous pitch I was
flung off the ladder I saw nothing
then of the woman or the boy Invent
llnvn with the ship about fifty feet
1 worked my way up to lie surface
nnd got hold of some wreckage 1 bad
sense enough left to turn on my back
and drift witli the wreckage Then 1
came across what seemed to me the
top of a bouse with a Chinaman on
it He helped me to clamber on to the
roof and with him I drifted out toward
the north heads 1 was then rescued
by the fishing boat

London Feb UK- General Frenchs
capture of SIOO lloeis combined wbh
the oilier advantages gained by the
ltrltlsli forces in South Africa has
created a most hopeful feeling in the
war olllcc here Lord Raglan under
secretary for war described It as be
big the thin end of the wedge and
this also Is the opinion of the military
critics who reiterate tlmt while the
war cannot be expected to end with a
sudden stroke this constant capturing
of men guns supplies and
horses means that the opera t Urns will
soon be reduced to a dacolt stage
Ieueral French Is ipilte the hero of
the hour on Pall Mall though of
course General Kitcheners controlling
hand is recognized tinder every circum
stance It Is felt by Mr ltrodrlck and
Lord llohcrts that so long as the ltrlt
lsli forces are doing something to di
minish the Peers supply of men
mounts and ammunition they arc
achieving the only possible objective
at present in sight it Is not believed
to be at all likely that General Kitch
ener will grant any armistice as a pre
liminary to peace or if lie does he will
not let he war olllcc know of it until
he learns of the result In fact no
reliance Is placed In such an offer for
even if General Hoi ha gave In the war
olllcc Is inclined to think that his ac
tion would only affect the force under
his immediate individual command
and the same policy which Is now be
