Startling News Reported by the Captain of the
 Conway.
Probable Loss of a Large VeS- sel With Her Entire
 Crew.
Could Not Give Assistance Because of the Storm That Was
 Raging.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, April "A British ship sailing toward the Pacific Coast was seen dismantled and in distress six weeks ago by the British ship Conway, Cap tain Hume, which arrived ten days ago from Manila to load wheat. Cap tain Hume notified the Lloyds on his arrival, but did not make the story public until to-day, on the eve Of his departure for Europe.
 He says that on February 15, during a storm, his sailors sighted large dismantled iron ship of 1500 to 2OO0 tons in about longitude 152 west and lati- tude 37 north. At the time terrific gale ragged, making the sea very high, and darkness was approaching. The gale blew the disabled vessel to the windward of the Conway, and Captain Hume was unable to reach her before nightfall. When discovered the strange vessel was about five miles dis tant. Originally she was a three masted iron ship. The storm had car ried away the rigging, until only the fore lower mast remained standing.
 Captain Hume, by means of power full glass, made out that she had a white painted port and large, half round aft. The Conway had no sooner hove into sight than the disabled shir hoisted her flag and attempted to sig nal. Captain Hume took the glass into his own hands and watched eagerly tC see what message would come from the desolate hulk in the distance. The signaling proved unsuccessful, for be- fore he could make out what kind o1 flag was raised it had been torn into fragments by the wind. That there were people on board was evidenced by the raising of the flag, but what condition they were in or who they were are mysteries that only the wind and wave can reveal.
 During the night the ship was lost tc view, and she was not sighted again Seafaring men who heard Captain Hume's story this morning believe that she has sunk ere this. Without masts and sails she was running aimlessly over the ocean, with the probabilities in favor of ultimate disaster unless re- lieved by some vessel during a cessa- tion of the windstorm that has ragged on the Pacific for weeks. Captain Hume's course in not standing by is considered proper, because his own ship was imperiled by the storm, and the boats could not have lived in the rough seas then prevailing. Captain Hume believes the vessel to have beer grain ship crossing to the United States seeking charter. Last night he received a cablegram from the

FORMS A SECRET

Secretary of the Treasury Gage Names Seattle as Head
 quarters.
Detectives Will Be Sent to Alaska to Investigate Reported
 Counterfeiting.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 SEATTLE. April 2.-George w. Hazen is now in the city establishing head quarters for new secret service district. Secretary of the Treasury Gage has in cluded Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana as a division and placed MT. Hazen in charge. His staff will consist of five or six men. From his office detec- tives will be sent to Alaska to investigate reported counterfeiting, if the occasion demands, Alaska being virtually part of the new district The new division will be termed the Seattle district
 Heretofore all counterfeiting investiga- tions necessary in this State have been made by detectives or special secret service men sent from San Francisco, and all complaints regarding the circula- ton of commercials were of necessity re- ferred to the headquarters in that city. The largely increased volume of money in circulation on Puget Sound since the Alaska rush began rendered it almost inn possible for the San Francisco headquar- ters to attend speedily to all of the cases reported from this section as requiring investigation, and for this reason Secre- tary Gage made the subdivision indicated and located the new district manager at Seattle.
 Manager Hagen has been in the secret service for about six years and for about five years past he has held the responsible position of chief of the District of New York, by far the most important in the United States.
