A CHECK TO AMERICA
LONDON PAPER ADVOCATES
 ENGLIsH-GERMAN ALLIANCE
Disclaims Hostility to United States But Says It is Necessary to Pre- vent America's Complete
 Predominance.

London, Jan. 3-The Saturday Review will print a remarkably free-spoksn edi- toriai tomorrow. in which 1t strongly ad- vises Great Britain to form working ai- liance with Germany. in order to check the .continued and apparently inevitable advance of the United States Into South America According to The Review. Tt Is the wlsest policy for this country to encourage the advance of Germany in the new world, as the most useful coun- ter boise to the overwhelming predomin- ance of the United States. which, s the only other possible outcome of the excit- ing political conditions"
 The Review disclaims all hostility to the United States. but says:
 "The solid interests of our own people. which is the basis on which the United States always works, Is the only sure ground on which to build"
 Continuing, The Review says: "If we would only remember that the Ameri- cans are to be believed when they de- scribe themselves as actuated by purely business considerations, we would save ourselves rom a large nuhper oi s'a'' ous humiliations and unprofitable specu- lations in stocks having no real market value. viz. the presumed gratitude of po- IItical and commercial rivals. With a strong European power established In the south and a great world power in the north, the too exuberant aspirations of Pan-Americanism would be checked. saving our empire from a grave menace"
 In conclusion, The Review points out that the United States will inevitably gobble up the weak. turbulent States southward. when 1t is certain to formu- late Pan-American tariff union against the remainder of the world. and then, controlling Cuba, Porto Rico and the Isthmtan Canal. convert the Caribbean Sea into an American lake.

 About s o'clock Thursday morning. my attention was called to a small boat wnicn was named by three men and coming toward us. They hailed us and said the Walla Walla had been sunk by an unknown vessel of the Mendocino coast. The party proved to be three fish ermen from the-wrecked vessel. We took them aboard and laid to the remainder of the day. Several boats and rafts were picked up at different intervals; the last about { o'clock Thursday afternoon,
 There was a nasty sea running and this condition continually interfered with the comfort of the passengers to such an extent that some were entirely ex- hausted when picked up Of the passen- gers rescued several were injured. One man had his leg jaEznRed. while two were cut about the head and shoulders. Cap tain Hall was injured by a, spar as tho vessel went down. Several of the women were more dead than alive when taken aboard and with difficuity were resusci- tated." R
 Captain Johnson was loud in his praise of the bravery displayed by the women rescued by him. To two in particular he gives much credit for the calmness dis

CAPTAIN HALLS STORY.
He Gives . Graphic Account of ths
 Disaster.

Eureka, Cal. Jan. s.-Captain A. Lj Hall. master of the wrecked steamship gives graphic account of the disaster He says: bound for Victoria and Puget Sound.s The weather thickened as the night ad- vanced and Thursday heavy fog. ac-l companied by light rain, set in. About 4:1e a. m., I was suddenly awakened by forward. Second oficer Lux was on, watch at the time. The housing. espec- ially in the vicinity of my cabin, was badly shattered. the main force of the collision striking her just forward of my state room. My bunk was struck and, thrown across the room onto my table. After the crash, the vessel. which l think was a French bark. judging from the language used by her sailors. re to her to stand by, but she drifted away and was lost to view.
 Those of the passengers who were not awakened by the crash were aroused ~ ately and she sank in thirty-five min utes.
 .sThere was no confusion on board. The officers and crew kept the passengers from becoming panic stricken. The crew was immediately oraafed to man the Ire boats and rafts and gave orders to have the port boilers blown out. 1t being nec- essary to give the vessel list to Keep the gaping hole in her Si0e Out OF tu6 water. In a few moments all the life boats and rafts were out. with the ex- ception of two. which were smashed. One of these boats contained nine or ten pas sengers. All were thrown into the water. but managed to board life raft. The second boat was smashed by striking a heavy object in the water, but all the passengers were rescued by another life raft. We had about sixty-five first and second-class passengers on board and l6o souls all told.
 'I remained on board. assisting them in every way possible, and went down with the ship After had been down, | do not know how long the social hall deck broke of and fioated to the sur face with 1t. Sighting life raft. com Menced swimming. and succeeded m reaching 1t after a hard struggle and was pulled on board by the three ocru- pants. We doased about nearly Mik dFay and early in the evening were ricked sap by the steamer Dispatch.
 When the Walla Walla went down was struck by heavy spar and badly bruised.
 T think the death list will not be less than twenty and possibly may reach for ty or fifty. It Is almost certain num- Der of the steerage passengers perishsd by falling timbers. The housing of the forward part was split into matchwood. While not very rough. the sea was nasty and choppy and the continual washing over the rafts was a hardship especial iy to the ladies. many of whom were nearly in the last stages of exhaustion when picked up by the Dispatch.

The Appointment Was Made After
 His Death, However.

Boston. Jan. 3.-Information from Washington shows that Captain Richard P. Leary, U. S. N.. who died at Chelsea recently. died a Rear Admiral without being conscious of the fact. It was promotion which he had looked for. and 1t is said to have been the one thing which troubled him in his last moments. The appointment was made the day be- fore he died. but 1t was only when his brother-in-law. pr. Fairfax Irwin. re- turned from his funeral at Annapolis to Chelsea that the appointment was found.
 Washington, Jan. 3.-Captain Leary's retirement with the grade of Rear Ad- miral was made under the law giving the President authority to retain officers who served in the civil war one grade higher than the position they held at the time the request for such action Is made.
