The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1906-05-14

pany's steamship Manchuria arrived
yesterday at II a. m. She brought home
big crowd of passengers, filling her
cabins to their utmost capacities, and
she had to leave at Yokohama about
seventy five who were clamoring to be
brought to this city. The subject OF
the earthquake here monopolized the
entire talk Of the passengers all the
way across the Pacific. The news they
received at Yokohama mad come by
London, and gave only q general out
line of the disaster. From Yokohama
to Honolulu suspense reigned SUI
preme'' on board the ship, and all
awaited eagerly the arrival at the Fla
avian port. There particulars were
forthcoming and the fears Of captain,
officers, crew and passengers were in a
measure laid at rest by an avalanche
of cablegrams from relatives and
friends that were sent out on tug as
the Manchuria entered the barber of
Honolulu.
Among the passengers was NJ. G..
Harrison, the general agent of the st.
Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Com
pany for this coast. He had been max
Ing tour of the Orient with his sis
ter, Miss Eleisha Harrison. Mr.. Har-
| rison arrived here to find his Office
destroyed, his home on Bush street
gone up in smoke and his Office In
Portland Ore, also destroyed by the
fire which took place last month in the
Chamber of Commerce building in that
city.
well, this is a great homecoming.
said he. Il am burned out in office and
nome, but, though slightly disf1gured,
l am still in the ring"
Mr.. Harrison added that he was in
Yokohama when the Siberia arrived
there on April 26. He said that when
the meager news Of the earthquake
here and the terrible loss by fire that
followed it was told to officers and pas
sengers on that vessel they were almost
insane with excitement. They could
hardly believe what they heard. Many
OF the passengers tried to come back
on the Manchuria, but no accommoda-
tons were left, SO they had to remain.
Among the passengers were: Mrs. e.
B. Brigham and Miss Kate Brigham Of
this city, George T. Bidwell and wife
OF Omaha, Colonel Jose Sanchez, mil
itary attache to the Spanish embassy
at Toxic, and his wife, and Emil Wis
ner OF the North German Lloyd S. S.
Company, who is returning to Bre-
men.
Although the steamship arrived at
II a. M, it was o'clock before she
came to her dock. This was due to the
fact that arrangements had been made
to have the examination Of the bag
gage of those of the passengers bound
to Eastern points take place on board
the ship, SO that they might get away
by the special train that was awaiting
them at Oakland Mole, ready to depart
at o'clock last evening. 1t is the first
time that this experiment has been
tried here, and it worked successfully.
due to the rapid and untiring labor of
Clerk A. Stephens of the customs
service and a big array Of assistant
ants he brought with him. The East
ern passengers were taken on board
the bay steamboat Caroline as the Man
churia was being locked and landed at
Oakland in ample time to make the
train.
Many Of the new arrivals remained
all night on the vessel, and some will
stay there a day or SO while they are
making their arrangements to go to
other points.
Captain Saunders reports pleasant
trip and unusually fine weather. The
Manehuria was twenty-six days from
Hongkong, fifteen days from Yokohama
and five days and fifteen hours from
Honolulu. She brings 22S cabin, 4s
steerage and 584 Asiatic passengers.
She had 1854 tons of cargo, including
619 cases opium, valued at $612,Slo;
also 276 bags of mail.
