In a heavy swell will grind her to
pieces. All Of her compartments are
washed up between decks, conso-
quently the additional weight holds

returning to the wreck this morning.
The crew we're engaged in stripping
the cabins, saloons, and in fact every
thing movable out of her. There is

the steamer and what remains is
ruined by water. When she goes to

ashore, but on account of her position
In a quiet little cove, wreckers will
probably be able to recover much of

THE WAR DEPARTMENT DECIDES TO GIVE NO

Washington. Sept 10 (SpeciaD.-The officials OF
the War Department have decided that hereafter
no Information relating military questions In this
country, particularly with respect TO ordnance
matters shall be given to foreigners. one exception
TO the rule has been decided upon, and that Is IN
instances where there is an exchange OF informal

tarv attaches certain intelligence concerning prog
ross in the art of war made I'm this country, pro-
vided such attaches reciprocate. For many years
developments in military ordnance have been an
open page to foreigners The doors of Army lac
tories were wide open them and 1t was the ex-
cepton when they required 10 present permit

repeated his request. Then he was Informed that a
sketch OF the design would be given TO him. pro-
vided the Ordnance Office received drawing OF a
gun carriage which. II had become known. the on
Gers home officials were preparing The foreigner
politely and promptly replied that he would take
pleasure in getting this design for the Ordnance
OfiiCe.
The officer was diplomat. After making the
promise he called several times at the War De
partment on each occasion asking for copy OF the
gun drawings. saying that he had not yet received
the design from nome. but he expected IL az,
most any day. and upon Its receipt he would
deliver 1t TO the Ordnance Office Ordnance officers
on duty at the War Department are also diplomats.
At each visit OF the foreigner they said that good
progress toward the completion OF the plans OF the
gun in question was being made but that the work
not finished In time the foreigner ceased his
visits TO the War Department Evidently he has
come to the conclusion that the plans OF the Amer
lean gun would not be finished until the designs of

cred TO the War Department and IL Is likely that
he has hope OF getting from home the lntelli-
gence desired by the Ordnance ONCE.
