RAN ASHORE IN A FOG
Steamer St. Paul on the Rocks
at Point PinoS, Cal.
PASSENGERS SAFELY LANDED

There Were About Fifty OH Board
The Vessel Will Probably BE IA To-
tai Wreck-Help Being Rendered.
Monterey, Cal, Aug. 1.-THE Pa
cific Coast Steamship Company s
steamer st. Paul, bound for San Fran
cisco, ran ashore at 1920 o'clock last
night, near Moss beach, and is now
wedged on the rocks on which she
struck. The forty passengers on board
were safely landed at o'clock this
morning, and most of them took the
afternoon train for San Francisco. The
first news of the accident was brought
to the company's offices in this city by
seven passengers, who walked from the
beach and arrived here at o'clock this
morning.
The boat is lying on her port side
and does not move an inch. 1t is feared
she cannot be pulled off. The crew
will probably stay on boarG tonight, as
the bay is smooth.
III her position, and in the manner of
running ashore, the St. Paul's case IS
much like that of the wrecked Colom-
bia. The officers have been instructed
to say nothing regarding the wreck.
On board are nearly 200 head of cattle
and 600 sacks of wool and grain.
There are many rumors current as to
the cause of the disaster. One story is
that the captain struck rock, and,
fearing the boat would sink, ran her
ashore for safety. Others say the cap.
tain missed his bearings, mistaking
Point Cypress for Point Pinos, and ran
ashore, thinking he was going into
Monterey.
The latest reports from the boat were
to the effect that the water is getting
higher, and at least six feet of water is
in the hold.

In order to solve this problem. n
number of preliminary reports are
being prepared. Among those NAV he
mentioned special reports upon the
geographical and physical characteris.
tics of the region in dispute; reports
upon the evidence presented by the 400
or more maps which have been pub.
nshed, reports upon the facts of occp.
pancy and settlement as given by his.
torians, and separate reports upon the
same facts as developed by the docu.
ments from Dutch and Spanish
archives; critiques upon the arguments
OF the British and Venezuelan govern.
ments as they appear in the British
oiueoook and in the Venezuela brief
ihe'e reports are being prepared for
.he most part by the commissioners at
their respective summer homes.

Held Up by Robbers.

James A. Campbell, a Honolulu
millionaire, who disappeared from San
Francisco, returned with bullet hole
through his hat and an exciting tale
about an adventure with robbers.
Campbell says that while he was drink
ing in private room in saloon he
was confronted by two masked men, who
demanded money. The millionaire re-
fused the demand, and in the fight
that followed bullet went through
his hat. Campbell says he was robbed
and kept prisoner for two days.
When released he was given nickle
for his car fare.
