The steamship Queen, (which on the
morning of February p so narrowly
escaped destruction by fire at sea, ar
rived here yesterday from Seattle. She
has come to her home port TO be re-
paired, and, Judging by her fame
SCARED hull, the job will be big one.
Captain Cousins, whose conduct in the
time of grave danger was no surprise
TO those acquainted with his worth as
a man and as a seaman, speaks mod
estly of his share in that gallant fight
against an enemy that seemed in
vincibIe.
The newspa pers told the story exact
ly as it happened he said yesterday.
but they gave me too much of the
credit. Every man, woman and child
aboard that boat contributed ma
terially to the happy result of our ef-
forts. Had the women and children
not been game, had they become
panic-stricken, we would have had to
detail more men to look after them.
Had we had a man less we could not
have mastered the flames. If the en-
gineer and his crew had not stayed at
lnelr posts ana Kept uD the steam to
operate the pumps. all the efforts of
the deck force would have been futile.
|, 1t was a case of everybody doing his
best and each is entitled to an equal
share of the credit for saving the
ship"
The Queens dining saloon is gutted
to the iron skin of the hull. Aft of the
saloon little woodwork is left and the
gnarled tangle of the iron beams and
frames bears dramatic testimony to
the intensity of the heat. The Queens
stern looks like Japanese description
of the condition of the Russian navy,
only more so.
Although so badly SCARED the
Queen sustained no vital damage.
After the fire was extinguished she
weathered a full gale and in spite of
storm and fire landed all but sixty
tons of her cargo in good condition.
She brought a cargo from Seattle to
this port. After discharging it she will
go to the Union Iron Works to be re-
paired.

Siberia sails for the Far East.

The Pacific Mail Company,s steamship Sibe-
ria sailed yesterday for the Orient Owing to
the fact that the Oceanic Steamship Company s
liner sails to-day, the Siberias list of Honolulu
passengers was smaller than usual For Chi
nese and japanese ports, however, she had
many passengers number of Japanese re-
turning to join the Mikado's military forces,
sailed on the Siberia, and their going away
was accompanied by the usual energetic oratory
and the tuneless music of a daring band which
fell down at Aud Lang Syne,'' but tackled
without rear or hesitation a series of what the
cheering little brown men declared to be gen
uine japanese tunes The band escaped from
the wharf while the crowds Of ''not-Japanese"
were busy waving good-by to friends on the de-
parting liner.
The Siberia carried about 5000 tons OF cargo
which included large shipment Of canned sal
mon Tor japan. Her passengers included the

A request from the cruiser commit
tee of the Native Daughters. that they

seal of the State OF California, was
granted.
The parlors of San Jose were per-
mitted to have representatives on the
general committee.
The executive committee, through r.
d. Barton, the secretary, said that it
had been decided to procure 5000 SOU
Venir badges, to secure the Woodward
Pavilion for literary exercises during
the evening of the launching, also to
nave two bands at the launching
I. p. Martin reported that Mr.. Scott
or the Union Iron Works had agreed
TO have 5000 invitations printed, the
same to have upon them what the COM
mittee desires. He stated further that
two boats have been secured and that
a third one VIII be engaged.
April %, the date set for the launch
ing, comes within the time that the
Grand Parlor will be in session in Val
lejo, and it was suggested that the

business in three days and on the
fourth day take part in the launching
ceremonies.
| 1t is probable that the eldest daugh-
ter of Governor Pardee will christen
the vessel.
Members of the order bearing a spe-
| cial badge will be admitted to the
Union Iron Works to witness the
launching.
| 1t was decided to have each parlor

| number of members who will want to
go on the boats.
The secretary was instructed to
notify all parlOrs in the State to send
representatives to the launching.
Messrs. Harold Foley and Gala
