BIG STEAMER WRECKED
Struck Diamond Shoals Near Cape
Hatteras During Fog.
NAME OF VESSEL NOT KNOWN

Is Believed to Be Fruit Liner and
Carries Crew Of twenty-five Men
and Probably Passengers - Being
Battered BY Heavy Seas.
Norfolk. Va, Dec. 29.-Battered by
heavy seas, an unknown steamer lies
helpless on the inner Diamond Shoals,
eight miles on Cape Hatteras. and
faint lights seen now and then carry
a message to the life saving corps on
shore that there are human lives on
board the wrecked craft that cannot
be saved until the wind and sea have
Gained sufficiently to allow the surf
boats to be launched.
The observer OF the United States
weather bureau at Hatteras first saw
the steamer when the fog lifted At
that time she appeared to be in dis
tress, and later It was seen that she
had grounded on the inner shoal,
known to mariners as "HePs Hole" in
the graveyard OF shipping. The heavy
seas careened the vessel on her port
side, with seas washing all over her.
The steamer has three masts and
one funnel Her engines and boilers are
aft, and the funnel Is between the
mainmast and mizzen-mast. From her
description It is thought she may pe
one OF the fruit liners that ply be-
tween West Indian ports and Balti-
more or New York.
The observer at Hatteras reports
that the life saving crews OF several
stations along the Carolina coast IN
the vicinity OF Hatteras were on the
beach ready 10 launch their surf boats
the minute the wind and tide had
abated sufficiently to allow them to
do so. At that time the wind had
dropped from 40 to SO miles an hour,
but the mercury was falling steadily,
and the approach OF freezing weather

ment of % men. but 1t has been i'm
possible to secure a view that would
allow any surmise as to her character
being made. There may be passengers
aboard.
Word from the scene expresses lit,
tie hope that loss OF life can be avert,
ed. For several hours, while on her
port beam, the steamer was at times
completely covered by the breakers,
that piled high upon her decks, strik-
ing with terrific force. 1t was a sur
prise that the life savers saw lights
on the craft. These appear to those on
shore as torchlights and not signals
of any regular character.

New York. Dec. 29.-The sensational
decline in cotton was continued as a
result of aggressive bear pressure i'm
mediately preceding the publication OF
the ginners' report. after which there
was heavy liquidation and further
pressure. so that the downward ten
dency was continued, with the market
finally barely steady 81 the lowest
point OF the session and every active
option on the list selling we'll below
the seven cent mark. with the near
months around 6l2 cents.
The government report showed that
7S7 counties had ginned to December
10 ll.S4S. ll3 bales of cotton. counting
round bales as half bales, against s.
427.259 bales to the same date in the
same counties last year. The bears
took this as indicating a total crop
of around 1900. 900 bales. The report
was followed by active liquidation
While some OF the big shorts appeared
TO be covering at the decline, support
was withdrawn on every little bulge
and bear pressure renewed. with the
market showing a final loss OF 81 10
SO points for the day.

reading of the ginners' report on the
cotton exchange cotton slumped AZ 10
55 points. Extraordinary excitement
attended the break The report that
1l.S4S.l13 bales had been ginned, with
50 counties to hear from. came as a
surprise, although a bearish report
was expected The market was ham
mered with great energy. The report
showed that l.S4S,259 more bales had
already been ginned this year than
the total crop of last year.
After the first excitement the mar
ket grew quieter, though the decline
was not arrested. January cotton went
to 64Oc., which is decline OF about
4c during the last three months.

MURDERED IN
THE STREET
JAPANESE FROM CALIFOR-
MA SHOOTS A COUNTRY
MAN DURING A QUARREL.

Because he objected to a country
man making fun of his clothes, va
masaki, Japanese, became involv-
ed in a quarrel that ended in his
being shot down in his tracks last
night by Kansioro Tanda in front
of the Roma Hotel at Pauahi and
River streets. The wounded man
died within an hour, of the injuries
inflicted by Kansioro. The latter
was apprehended by the police
within few moments after the
shooting, as Detectives Renear
and McDufie were close by and
heard the shots.
According to the statements OF
two Japanese who witnessed the
shooting, Yamasaki had come from
bathing and wore only under
clothes and a kimona. Kansioro
spoke derisively of the mans
appearance and Yamasaki object
ed. The pair had quarrel. Kan
siOro drew a revolver without be-
ing previously attacked, and fired
| five shots at Yamasaki. The men
stood close to each other and some
of the shots were fired so close to
Yamasaki that his kimona caught
fire from the powder.
One of the shots struck the man in
the breast, another under the heart,
and third, which is thought to
have been the cause of death, en-
tered the intestines. Magoroku and
Fujumura witnessed the shooting.
They disarmed the murderer. De-
tectlves Renear and McDuffie hur-
rled to the scene of the shooting,
they had been nearby on a gam
bling raid. Renear caught the muir
derer who was trying to escape and
MCDufie arrested the other men,
one of whom had the weapon. The
injured man was taken to the
Queens Hospital and died within
an hour.
Kansioro claimed that he had
been attacked by the three men.
Two of them had struck him over
the eye. He had been drinking sa-
Xxi. The murderer said he had come
here on the twentieth from San
Francisco. While in California he
had worked for Sweeney and Wells
saloon at Sacramento. The lap
showed no sorrow or renorse over
the death of his victim The muir
derer is alleged to have assumed a
boastful manner after his arrival
here and to have declared that Cal
ifornia laps would make the Ha-
waii Japs do the right thing"
