asked as to the tale brought in by the
tug Rover to the effect that water and
sand were slushing around in the hen
of the stranded ship. The circulation
of that fake was not at all to the Tx

On the after part of the boat deck
is located the smoking room, capable
of accommodating about 100 persons.
This is fitted up to represent an old

cred with cathedral glass, represent
ing various convivial scenes, and above
the air ports are different bits of seem
cry from Old Holland. The smoking
room also is surmounted by a dome of
cathedral glass. Here, also, particular
attention has been given to ventila-
ton and no matter how many persons
may be smoking in this room the air
remains absolutely pure, a system of
ventilators being arranged by which
all smoke is Immediately removed, and
this without causing any draft what

The toilets and baths, which are To-
Gated amidships on the upper and
promenade decks are all fitted in
marble with tile flooring, making them
absolutely clean. The sanitary ar
rangements on this vessel are excep-
tionally fine.
Forward are the steerage accommo-
dations for Europeans, special rooms
being provided for males, females and
married couples. In this portion of the
ship are also located the white crew s
accommodations.
The extreme after portion of the ship
is assigned to the Asiatic crew and
steerage passengers.

the petty officers, crew and steerage
passengers.
The Manchuria has double bottom.
used for either fresh or salt water. and
the hull is divided into seven water
tight compartments, making the ship
practically unsuitable. She is also
fitted with a new form of chemical dis
injector and fire extinguisher, reaching
every portion of the ship, by which a
fire should there be one, can be in
stantly extinguished.
The propelling machinery of the
vessel consists of two sets of quad
ripple expansion engines, to carry a
boiler pressure of 215 pounds to a
square inch. The indicated horse-pow-
er is about 10000 The boilers are
eight in number, four double and four
singIe-ended. both IA feet inches in
diameter, and the former 20 feet and
the latter II feet in length. Besides
the propelling machinery, there is a
large amount of auxiliary machinery,
consisting of refrigerating and Ice
making plant, electric light plant, con-
densers for producing fresh water,
pumping machinery. steam winches,
etc. A fully-equipped machine shop
is connected with the engineers de-
partment. and spare parts of the var
ious portions of the machinery are
carried so, should there be an accf
dent to the machinery, repairs can be
made at once.
The Manchuria is under the COM
mand of Captain J. w. Saunders, VINO

some years ago been in command OF
the p. NJ. S. S. China. He commanded
the S. S. Newport on the Panama run

The Manchuria is an exact sister ship
to the Mongolia with the exception of
a few minor details. She was bought
from the International Marine Co. She
was launched at Camden. n. j.. on

BOW THE BIG SHIP
LAY LAST MIGHT

At 10 p. m. the steamer was re-
ported to be on an even keel and

shore and exposed to the n. Il.
AT HIGH TIDE.
At high tide which occurred at AIS,
the Manchuria used her own power as
sisted by steamers in an attempt TO get
herself out of her bed of coral. An
hour after grounding, steam pressure
was eased off in order to avert the
possibility of an explosion.

The tug Fearless got the first line
on at 9:10 a. IN. and the u. 5. 5. Man
ming followed suit at 10 a. m, the line,
however, becoming entangled In the
propeller Then the steamer Maui con-
nected and at high tide all three took
turn at pulling, their efforts, how
ever, proving almost futile. The Fear
less stood by with stern line out, all
day in order to keep the leviathan
steady. A kedge anchor was put out
in the afternoon to hold her bow

GOVERNOR GENERAL
SMITH ON BOARD

sEThis is the first time I have ever
been shipwrecked, said Governor
General Smith of the Philippines as he
was landed at Waimanalo yesterday
from the Mancnuria. "Mrs. Smith is
having her second experience.
General Smith s opinion as to the
cause of the plling up of the Man
ehuria agreed with the general idea of
the vessel going into the bay In mist.
He agreed also that he was having one
of the most novel experiences of his
life. but he was glad to feel that it
was not tragedy.
As to the Philippines Mr.. Smith said
that the policy there would continue
to be that of Mckinley and Roosevelt
''We want to give the people there
a square deal,' he said. "We will give
them every opportunity to show their
eapability for lf-government.
Eyes, there is some retrenching go
ing on in the Philippines. Our rev
enues are not so great as they used
to be, and we have got to live within
our income. That's business.
9fThe military and civil establish
ments are divorced but they cooper
ate when necessary. We have always
had the best cooperation from Gen
erals Wood, Corbin and Wade. -
General Smith was given warm wei
come bv Secretary of the Territory At
kinson. At WaimanaIo plantation the
new Governor was interested in all
that he saw and asked many questions
concerning the sugar industry.

INTERVIEWS WITH !
TIE PASSENGERS

Under the circumstances it was
about the best natured crowd I could
conceive off, said Paul Super, one of
the Manchuria passengers, in relating
the story of the wreck from a passen-
gers point OF view. ut seemed that
everyone was taking the affair rather
in the nature of lark although there
was some uncertainty about our bag
gage and, among some of the through
passengers, an uncertainty as to who
would be responsible for their bills in
the enforced detention in Honolulu.
THE shock when the steamer ground
ed was quite severe, hard enough to
make good many slide along in their
hunks and fetch up against the end.
Then the vessel seemed to slide and
bump and slide and bump again.
Among the cabin passengers there
was little excitement although the
high cliffs frowning above US looked
dangerous enough. The steerage pas
sengers, Asiatics, were frightened and
began tumbling up from below with
life preservers on. Some of the officers
met them at the head of the hatch
way and took the belts from them and
There was some trouble when the
captain gave the order to lower the
boats, and it was reported around that
some of the Asiatic deckhands had to
be handcuffed for INSTRUMENTATION at
this time.
But all the cabin passengers went
to breakfast as usual and did just
about as they were told. When the
little steamer John A. Cummins came,
about eighty of us landed on her and
were taken to the plantation. where
they did the best for us that they
could OF course they did not have
much for us. but we ate some biscuits
and bareback and beer and water was
passed around. Except for this none
of use had anything to eat until we got
to town.
There was a long delay. and wran-
gle about the automobile fares, the man
who was in charge of them refusing to
let them leave for town until he re-
ceived some positive assurance that
he was going to get his pay. AS Mr..
Klebahn was aboard the steamer there
was no one to give this assurance and
it remained for one of the women to
settle the point. She just spoke for the
crowd and said that she had been wait
ing there too long and was going to
ride. She came in in the first auto.
There is no truth whatever in the
report that the captain was either in
toxicated or excited. He gave his or
ders calmly and did everything he
could He won the respect of every
body by the way he handled everything
after the accident, and the other Off
GERS backed him up in splendid shape.

Among many of the passengers the
first thing asked at the hotels was:
Where can 1 get a bath?" and after
the question had been answered, and
where is the dining room?"
Up to 10 O'Clock last night there had
been no arrangements made with any
of the hotels regarding accommoda-
tions for the through passengers, and
these were left to shift for themselves
after being brought to town Just

was under to provide for these passen-

THIELEN's EXPERIENCE.
George p Thielen, a home conner
hither in the Manchuria, passed the
following record of his impressions over
the wire from Waimanalo:
II woke UP by hearing a slight crack
in the timbers of the ship and feellng
a tremor. 1t was then just 4:4O a. m.

mist was falling and that it looked as
if a rain squall had just passed over

and was soon informed that we were
ashore.
There was absolutely no excitement
among the cabin passengers and the

among the Orientals was when an off,

of striking. When I went on deck l

s'It was somewhere after O'Clock
that the vessel went ashore. 1t was
not very violent. The engines were
stopped at once. There was little
confusion at first, but not among the

rushed to an upper deck and donned
life preservers. but they were ordered
down again to their own deck.

 The carpenters tried to avoid injur- ing her, and every now and then some one would reason with her and beg her to get out of the house.
 But she sat there, sewing.
 When the roof, the weather boards, the rafters and joists were removed and there remained only the floor one of the workmen called the police and asked the officers to send after the woman. A patrol wagon was sent, and Mrs. Richie and her few earthly possessions were taken to headquar- ters. She offered no resistance to the police, nor would she assist them. Two policemen picked up the chair and car ried Mrs. Richie to the wagon. The officers VOW she did not miss a stitch.
