THE SITUATION IMPROVED,
Bad Invertments Did 1t.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3.-The concrete
opinion of the bankers of San Francisco
is that the Pacific bank was compelled
to suspend payment because it made
unwise investments in securities from
which it could not get out its money,
and that the Peoples Home Savings
bank was compelled to suspend because
it had not on hand coin enough to
stand the run sure to follow the an
nouncement of the suspension of
the Pacific bank, its business
associate. In other words, the failure
of the Pacific bank was not more due to
the present financial troubles than to
fundamental weakness in its manage
ment, The furry seems to have passed
in this city, and no anxiety whatever is
felt that other banks will succumb.
Bankers say they have ample funds to
meet all demands.

DETAILS OF THE DIsAsrnR.

Particulars Meagre but Sensational in
the Extreme.
LONDON, June ga frightiul calam-
ity has befallen the British psttleship
Victoria, the flagship of the Msditerra-
mean squadron. and hundreds of lives
have been lost. The Victoria, which
flew the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir George
Tryon, K. @. B., was run into off Tri-
poll, Syria, by the British battleship
Camperdown, also belonging to the
Mediterranean squadron, and under
command of Capt. Charles Johnstone.
The Victoria had an enormous hole
made in her side. through which the
water poured in torrents. The immense
hull af the Victoria at once began to set
tie, and before those on board could cast
loose their small boats, she went to the
bottom, carrying down with her nearly
everyone on board. Some of the
officers and crew managed to
get out of the suction caused
bv the sinking vessel, and were rescued.
Among those lost are Vice-Admiral
Tryon.
The first reports Of the disaster stated
200 men had been drowned, but later
dispatches show that the loss OF life is
far greater, no less than 400 of the Of
ficers and crew of the Victori# having
gone down with the ship.
The Victoria was twin screw battle-
ship, OF 10000 tons and IL 800 horse-
DO wer, and carried 10 guns.
Admiral Sir George Tryon was conn
mander-in-chief on the Mediterranean
station. Rear-Admiral Albert II.
Markham of the Trafalgar, the flagship
of the rear-admiral in the Mediterra-
mean, telegraphed the admiralty
from Tripoli, Syria, under date
OF Thursday, as follows: II regret
to report that while maneuvering off
Tripoli this afternoon, the Victoria and
Camperdown collided. The Victoria
sank in Is minutes in Is fathoms of wa
ter. She lies bottom uppermost. The
Camperdown's ram struck the Victoria
forward of the turret on the etarboard
side. Twenty-one officers were drowned.
Two hundred and fifty-five men were
saved. The injury to the Camperdown
is not yet fully ascertained, but is serious
and will necessitate her going on the
dock for repairs. | propose to send the
survivors to Malta"
The vessel carried 800 officers and
men. The officers drowned in addition
to Tryon, include Chaplain Morris,
Lieutenant Munroe, Flest Paymsster
Rickiord, Fleet Engineer Foreman, En-
gineer Harding. Assistant Engineers
Deadmsn, Hatherly and Seaton, Gunner
Howell, Boatswain Barnard, Carpenter
Beill, Midshipmen Inglis, Grieve,

AS soon as the officers of the Victoria
saw that there was danger of the ship
laundering, orders were given to close
the collision bulkheads to keep the
water in the compartment into which
the Camperdown showed her RAIN. The
sailors tried to obey the order, but the
ship was making water too fast to allow
the closing OF the bulkheads, and while
the men were still trying to shut thsna-

VIcroRIA, B. c., June 23.-Known to

It is rumored another effort will be made

piration of is days grace, for habeas

ious to get back to California, and
wants Reams to chow no moro

the church records have been
sent for, and Reams relies on them to
prove that the girl is over 16yesrs old.
In regard to the charge of criminal as
aault, the judge does not think the evil
dence 80 far adduced is sufficient to
commit Reams. The girl could not
swear to the commission of the offense,
and only thought Reams had drugged
her. The case comes up again Friday

The Greatest Naval Disaster Since the
Loss of tho Royal George In 1889.
All England Plunged In
to Mourning
By the AysocIated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LooDoN, June ga tragedy on the
sea without parallel in naval annals
occurred yesterday. Tho British battle
ship Victoria, the flag.ship of the Mediter-
ranean squadron, completed her check
cred career by sinking off Tripoli, on
the coast Of Syria, (not the African
TripolD after collision with the
Camperdown, sister ship of the squad
ron. The tragedy, resulting in the loss
of 400 men, including the vice-admiral
of the squadron, has not been equalled
in fatal results since the striking of the
Royal George in 1882. when 600 souls
found their ehrouds in the oceans
waves.
Accounts Of the disaster are meagre
and the responsibility for the loss Of life
has not been fixed.
Fifteen minutes after the Victoria re-
ceived the fatal blow, the water closed
over her and the brave hearts that were
prepared to battle with all the enemies
Of their country had ceased to beat, be-
cause of the probable mistake Of friend
more deadly than the design of foe.
The loss of this ship, with the attend
ing terrible sacrifice of life, is looked
upon az confirming the opinion of many
naval officers concerning the monster
warships of the present day. Naval
engineering, they point out, has not
progressed as rapidly as naval architec-
ture, and the stupendous macs of a
10000 ton warship cannot be controlled
with the ease naval officer generally
desirea. Taking it altogether, the disas
ter is regarded by naval people as
severe lesson to the navies Of the world.

NEW YORK, June 23.--The banks re-
ported an easier feeling this morning in
the west, and said the demands for ac-
commodstion, re-discounts and currency
were much less. The attention of bank
ers today was mostly concentrated on
the situation on the Pacific coast. At
the sub-treasury it is said 100000 in
currency was exchanged today for trans-
fer to San Francisco. Besides the gold
thus transferred, shipments OF currency
were made direct today by express.
