stay on 'the boat as long as we could.
"Between ten and fifteen minutes after
the collision San Rafael went under. As
It wont down I Jumped for Sausallto and
caught on Its rail. I was not strong enough
to haul "myself up, so I hung on and shouted
for help. None of the crew heard mo and
I 'finally let go my hold from exhaustion
and dropped Into the water. My life pre

later I got hold of a rope lowered from Sau

hope."

Mr. Moore, who Is nbojit 60 years of age.
considers that bis escape, was miraculous.
Ho thinks roost of tho passengers on San
Rafael were saved. He said:
"The two boats stayed together after the
collision. It waa soon loarnod, on Sausallto
that It was not seriously Injured and those
on hoard It took Immediate steps to rescue
the unfortunate passengers on San Rafael.
A gangplank was run over to the sjnklng
vessel and many of our passengers escaped
la that way. After San Rafael wtfnt down
Sausallto stayed by and lowered ropes to
those floating In the water."
Mr. Moore eld further:
"Of course I cannot pretend to be ac
curate, but I would, not place tho loss of
life over twenty. It seoms to mo that' most
of the passengers must have been saved."

Attorney Thomas J. tannon, ono of the

"San"' Rafael was truck by Sausallto
about, twenty f, minutes after leaving Us

knocked fifteen or twenty feet by tho col

After1 looking 'around for more ladles and'
not seeing any I told Hynos to pull to Sau

It was very dark and you could not see
three feet away. About this time Captain
McKensle of San Rafael and one of the crew
started to break the glass windows on the
upper deck In ordor to get on board of Sau
ajlto, which was up against tho aide of San

with a little assistance, get on board Sau

The deckhand who had broken the glass
held onto one of tho davits and passed the

"After ome time clasped I noticed that
ttie prow of Sausallto was getting closor to
the aide of San Rafael. Thea something In
tho water attracted my attention and when
I again looked at the prow, to my horrcr
I aaw the deckhand pinned between the
prow of Sausallto and tho side of the other
boat with hla leg hanging out, bolng slowly
crushed to death. I then thought I felt the
boat sinking and. Jumped Into the water. I
am a pretty good swimmer, notwithstand
ing my 217 pounds, and In n short tlmo I
was alongside Sausallto yelling at those on
board to throw me a rope. I got a reply
that a boat would be lowered. Thinking
to rest myself, I turned over on my back
and floated around for, I should Judge, about
Ave minute. Finally a boot was lowered
and three of ua got in. Wo started to row
around looking for the othor unfortunates
and passed another boat with about twelve
people In It.
Hard MtrnKKle In Witter.
'A man named Eckels, who waa In an
other boat, thinking his boat too over
crowded. Jumped Into oura and In doing
so capsized the boat and we were again
in the water. I swam away, arrald of being
struck by the capslied boat. Eckels then
got back Into the boat he had left a few
minutes previous. All thU tlmo the people
on board Sausallto kept, throwing life pre
server Into the water, greatly to our an
noyance, as we were afraid of being hit
by them. I finally attempted to get Into
a pretty well crowded boat, but Just as I
was doing so someone grabbed me trom
behind and tho boat waB cowed to tho
side of Sausallto.
"After nil this struggling I was pretty
well, exhausted and started with difficulty
for Sausallto. Just as I reached the side
of the vessel, a tug, which I think was
Sea King, threw tts searchlight on us and
heard some of tho men still In the water
cry to the tug's captain, they evidently1 be
ing afraid of the tug's running them down.
Finally a rope waa lowered and I was
pulled aboard."
Praises Cnptnln and Crew.
When asked as to how many he thought
lost their live Mr. Lcnnon placed the num
ber at from fifteen to twenty. He saldr
"Captain McKrnzle and crew deserve
great pfafse for the way they assisted the
passcngors."
At midnight It was Impossible to obtain
the names of any missing people. It Is
barely possible that nearly all the passen
gers will be accounted for eventually. Cap
tain McKcnzIo of San Rafael says nearly
everyone was rosrucd A numbor Jumped
Into the water, but they all got out, he
thinks.
He said: "I waa the last to leave the
sinking vessel, and there waa no one on It
when It went down."

Recent revelations by French "officers and

Among other movements of this sort is an

which Is being circulated all over France
for signatures. Tho purport is that ho

'Btop tho British nation from treating noer
patriots like criminals and securo for a
poor people the right to defend their in
vaded country."
In compliance with an order Issued by
the Socialist International board, that
wherever the socialists are represented in

1 PAIII8. Nov. 30. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Tolegram.) The Ameri
can fsthtnlnn commission's report Is pas
sionately commented upon. Everybody
here Is convinced' In ansoluto good faith of
the superiority of tho Panama route.
Therefore the concliislons'Of the report are
regarded as a concession to the Nlcarnguan
Interests In an lll-lnformcd public opinion.
Mnny hint that the report Is designed to
Ls-ush the Panama company hopcB, with
the ultimate Idea of getting the route for
as little money as possible. It la fell that
tho force of George Morrison's orgument
will easily counterbalance tho majority re
port among 'sensible, disinterested Ameri
can.'. However, It Is conceded that the
United Sta'tee government Is master of the
situation nnd can easily get the Panama
route on any terms by threatening to cut
the Nlcaraguan canal.
"But," says the Journal des Dcbats,
"tho diplomats undoubtedly will be re
quested to' help settle the price, not after
the rrlcthods of a trust kind, by throttling n
helpless competitor, but with Homo con
sideration for fairness."
Politically tfio week has been Interest
ing. Iu the Chamber of Deputies the tlmo
was monoirollr.ed by a discussion of tho
government's bill to authorize a loan to pay
France's share of the cost of tbo war In
China. The bill passed after a stormy do
bate, though the ministry seemed several
times In danger of boing overturned.
The purpose of the loan Is to raise Im
mediately the money' which China Is going
to pay back In annual Installments, so the
French parties 'Who suffered In conaoquence
of tho Boxers' uprising can be Indemnified
at once. The' opposition waa based mainly
on the allegation .that the missionaries
were responsible for the.' whole trouble
and will be tho'prlnclpnl bpnefi6larles.

The socialists demand ' that General
Voyron's official report bo read In .order
to show that the missionaries had In
demnified themselves already by looting
banks and palaces, leading the troops to
sack towns and afterward buying goods
from o1dlen at oneifourtb of their value,
with checks payable In Europe. Tho gov
ernment 'stubbornly refused to publish
General Voyron's .report, because It was
marked "confidential," and because also It
censured7 foreign missionaries and armies
as severely aa It did tho French.
But three newspapers simultaneously ob
tained tho report und It took nil of Premier
Waldcck-Rousaeau's fprceful oratory to get,
the eamo majority for his bill which re
cently he obtained for tho expulsion of the
rollglous orders from Franco. It wtlL be
tho proper thing now" to whitewash, the
undoubted Indiscretion
The China loan amounts to $33,000,000.
Indomnlty claims will .be examined by a.
special commission order to check cor

Tho miners' organization is now so per
