SHIP LIES ON SHOALS
UNKNOWN STEAMER IN DANGER
 OFF CAPE HATDrERAs.
Signals Show tkat There are Humans Aboard the Craft Dependant for Rescue Upon Crews of Life
 Saving Stations.

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 2S.-Battered by heavy seas that have been lashed to fury by the forty-mile gale, an un- known steamer lies helpless on the in- ,ner Diamond Shoals. eight miles off Cape Hatteras tonight, and faint lights seen now and then carry a message to the life-saving corps on shore that there are human lives aboard the wrecked craft that cannot be saved un- til wind and sea have calmed suffi- ciently to allow the surfboats to be launched.
 The observer of the United States weather bureau at Hatteras first saw the steamer when the fog lifted short ly before noon today. At that time she appeared to be in distress and later 1t was seen that she had grounded on the inner shoaL known to mariners as 'Heil's Hole" The heavy seas ca reened the vessel on her beams end and at o'clock this afternoon she was lying on her port side with seas wash ing all over her.
 The steamer has three masts and one funnel Her engines and boilers are aft and the funnel is between the main mast and miZzenmast. From her de- scription. 1t is thought she may be one of the fruit liners that ply between West Indian ports and Baltimore or New York.
 At o'clock tonight the observer at Hatteras reported that the life saving crews of several stations along the Carolina coast in the vicinity of Hat teras were ready on the beach to launch their surfboats the minute the wind and tide had abated sufficiently to allow them to. At that time the wind had dropped from 40 to 36 miles an hour.

CHOATE READ TO RETIRE.
Will Leave Diplomatic Service After
 R0oseyelt's Inauguration.


 Roosevelt's Inauguration.
 London, Dee. 28.--While numerous semi offioiai statements have been published here that Ambassador Choate is about to retire from diplomatic life. it can be stated that MT. Choate. has not sent his resignation or any com munication on the subject to the Presi- dent Roosevelt or that State Depart ment, nor has he received any inquiry either from the President or Secre- tery Hay. concerning his future plans. It can be safely asserted, however. that 1t is MT. Choate's intention to ten der his resignation soon after the inau- guration of President Roosevelt.
 "Six years is a long slice out of the life of a man of my age" said MT. Choate recently to friends here "and while I have enjoyed the life and the people. I have met in Europe. I have determined to go home and devote the remainder of my time looking after my own affairs"
 Although. of course nothing positive is known here. it is believed WhiteIaw Reid will succeed Ambassador Choates.

HARD BLOW FOR JAPAN
Big Guns Reported Lost In
Vladivostok Squadron Raid.
SUNK BY RUSSIAN CRUISERS.
Siege Artillery Intended For the Re-
ductiOn of Port Arthur Were on the
Transport Hitachi, Says y Traveller
From Japan-French ch men In Japan
Suspected of Spying For Russia.

Information was recently brought by
prominent business man of Kobe,
japan, who was passenger ON the
steamer Mongolia, which arrived at
Honolulu from the orient, that the
sinking of five Japanese transports by
the Vladivostok squadron was more
terrible blow for Japan than has been
reported, as the big siege guns intended
for use against Port Arthur We're sent
to the bottom. Also that Japan Is not
disposed to think that the capture and
destruction of the transports were ac-
cidental but attributes the presence of
the Russian cruisers in the right spot
to the work of spies, says special cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Press.
This gentleman, who does not want
his name mentioned, as he returns to
Japan in a few weeks, said: .
'In Japan everybody thought the
Vladivostok squadron was bottled up
and that the Russian squadron at Port
Arthur had been annihilated. Suddenly
the Vladivostok squadron sinks Japan's
finest transports. The Port Arthur
squadron, which was supposed to be at
the bottom of the sea, makes a sortie
The effect Of the news was tremendous
in japanese cities. Cablegrams were
received the same day from London
financial houses to their agents In Kobe
to hold fast to their money and be
chary about making further loans. Both
foreign and Japanese bankers tighten
ed up and credit WAS greatly restricted.
l found the same effect had been pro-
duced In Yokohama. The Japanese
transport service was for the time de-
moraliZed < @
1T was reported that some treasure
was lost But the great loss to Japan
was from the fact that her great siege
guns, destined to demolish the fort
resses at Port Arthur, were sunk with
the transport Hitachi (HidachD. Be-
sides the siege guns there were on
board a number of wide gauge lOcomo-
tives to be used on the Port Arthur
Mukden railroad after Port Arthur had
fallen. "H rUa 9t 3. ro
Then, too, the japanese authorities
are asking themselves, How could the
Vladivostok squadron be informed Of
the transport movements and in which
transport were stored the war material
of the greatest danger to the beleagured
Russians at Port Arthur? II they knew
when to strike and sink siege guns,
will they not know as surely the pro-
jected movements? These are the far
reaching effects Of the raid from Vlad-
ivostok.
"The japanese authorities suspect the
French of furnishing Russia with the
detailed information Of her movements
There are many Frenchmen in Kobe
and YOkohoma, and it is easily possible
for spies to be among them"
