CALL BUREAU, 14O6 G street, N. W.,
WASHINGTON, Dec. international
action looking to the prohibition of the
importation into China of munitions of
war and all material for the manufacture
thereof must be taken. if the peace of the
world is not to be disturbed by another
outbreak in the Celestial Empire.
This is the opinion of high officials
based upon information they have re-
ceived. Its expected that Minister Con-
ger, in concert with his colleagues of the
diplomatic corps in Peking, will make
earnest representations to Prince Ching
and Yuan Shih Kai, with a view to COM
pelling the Chinese Government to stop
importing munitions of war or material
to be used in connection with their manu-
facture.
Remember Temporary Successes.
The Chinese have not forgotten the
temporary successes they achieved, first
in driving back to Tientsin the for
eign column under command Of Vice Ad-
miral Seymour, and in holding the native
city of Tientsin, and they believe that If
we'll armed they will in another war with
the hated foreigners have a better chance
of success. To prevent rearmament and
the resumption of hostilities against the
West, the foreign Ministers in Peking in
serted in the peace protocol a provision
requiring China to stop the importation
of munitions of war and materials for the
manufacture thereof for period of two
the prohibition should continue for two
additional years if the powers deemed it
necessary.
Instead of enforcing this provision of
the protocol, China has eagerly opened
her ports to foreign munitions of war and
material for the manufacture thereof.
May Secure Legislation.
The United States is in somewhat en-
barrassing position in this matter, owing
to the fact that the President has nc
authority to prevent shipment by Amer
lean merchants of war munitions tc
China. Certainly they could not be
used in the manufacture of rifles ans
ammunition because these materials are
also employed for other purposes. 1t Is
probable that the President and Secretary
Hay will seriously consider the advisa-
bility of securing legislation under which
the importation of arms to China, al
least, can be stopped.

While some of the passengers were fran

women of San Rafael, Mrs and Miss
Wilson, divested themselves of all their
outer clothing, preparatory to a long
swim, if the worst came to the worst.
Both are expert swimmers and they said
that they had made up their minds to
breast the waves toward the shore if the
boat sank before other escape or rescue
was possible. Mrs. and Miss Wilson
climbed on to the Sausalito finally, their
clothes in their arms.
The last to leave the San Rafael were

There is considerable indignation against
the Panama Railroad Company for hav-

nfteen minutes that elapsed from crash
to submergence. They picked up Tread
way, who was pinioned by heavy piece
of wood as the bow Of the San Rafael
broke into the restaurant. Treadway's 8
chest was crushed. Brown and Scouler
carried him to the upper deck, where they
laid him out on the floor. All around the
boat were crying, fear-stricken women
and children. To these they turned their
attentions, and so hard did they work that
they had barely time to save themselves.
AS they felt the boat sink from under
them the dying cries Of Treadway rang

down with the ship.
And so the tales come in from all sides.
Acts of bravery there were in plenty, and
although the crash brought panic at first
when this passed away every rational
method of life-saving was tried. The
crew, little slow to act at first, worked
we'll in the heat of action. Boats were
lowered from both the San Rafael and
SausaIito by order. One slight incident
of lack Of GOODNESS on the part of the
former vessels crew is told by the first
mate. The men were lowering a small
boat and had forgot to put in the rain
plugs. without them the boat would stay
up but very short time. A strident order
quickly adjusted the error

N Ito is not as great as was at
first feared. So far the reports
show but few lives lost. The awe and
terror of it all have largely passed away
and people are now wondering that the
death list is so small.
Underneath the waters lies the ILL
fated boat, the exact location of which
is not yet known. Little of the buried
San Rafael will be of any future value
except as wreckage. Her boilers were
practically condemned, but her engines
were good. AS to the hull the general
opinion is that it was water-logged. Ac-
cording to law both Captain Mckenzie
of the San Rafael and Captain Tribble of
the Sausalito will be obliged to file reports
with the United States Inspectors of
Steam Vessels. This will be done this
morning and it is just possible that the
investigation will be tegun this afternoon.

among bay mariners condemns the San
Rafael for any future sea service.
The Sausalito was pretty badly dam
aged from the collision. Her bow was
shattered to such an extent that during
the service yesterday she ran as single
ender, backing out of the slips and turn

HE body Of William G. Crandall,
secretary Of the Long Syrup Re-
fning Company, was found to-
day among the rocks on the shore
n of Angel Island. Crandall per-
ished in the bay disaster. The
discovery of the remains was
made by a soldier on guard at the quar-
antine station shortly after 10 o'clock yes
terday morning. When Coroner Eden Of
Marin County reached the scene the iden-
tification was made complete.
Crandall, when found, wore a nfe-pre-
server. He was coatless and his body bore
no marks of injury. He evidently drifted
beyond the call Of help after he had sac
fihced personal safety and time in the
work Of rescuing others and died OF sheer
exhaustion in the water. How long the
unfortunate man lived after the San Ra-
fael sank from human vision and the Sau-
salito steamed away for San Francisco

stricken survivors will never be told.
Crandall died hero. He gave his own
