The VALENCIA DISASTER.
Commission Appointed to Investigate
Wreck, Makes Reoprt.

Washington, d. c., April i5.-The
commission appointed by the presi'
dent % make q thorough and complete
Investigation OF all the circumstances
attending the wreck OF the steamer
Valencia and the cause or causes
thereof, have submitted their report
The commission consisted OF law
renco o. Murray Assistant Secretary
of the Department Of Commerce and
Labor. Herbert Knox, Deputy Com
missioner OF Corporations and Cap
tain william 7 Durwell, United
States Navy.
Tho commission in an exhaustive
feport find that tho Valencia was own
I'd by the Pacific Coast company and
licensed to carry 2S6 passengers and
cost sl75,0OO. She made an average
speed OF eleven knots. and at the
time OF the wreck had q crew OF 90
men and carried lOs passengers. II
II whom were women; 40 of the crew
and 96 OF the passengers were lost
All the women and children perished.
At the time of the wreck, the yes
sci was cnroute from San Franciseo
20 Victoria. u. c.. and Seattle. She
went ashore on the southwest coast
~ Vancouver Island.
Tho commission places the rcspou-
siblllty OF tho wreck on the master
~ the boat, Oscar NJ. Johnson, due TO
impropor navigation and TO keeping
the look out man on duty for a
continuous period OF six hours, thus
rendering him unfit to see and report
land. Tho captain was negligent in
drilling his boat crews. and to the I'm
proper handling Of these boats by the
undrllled crews IS attributed the
heavy loss of life. Unlike most
wrecks. thero was no panic. the crew
and passengers keeping cool all the
time. The captains action after the
boats struck was all that could have
been expected OF him. He showed
both frmness and courage. Tho com

Of man. who deaa, was unable tc

The Steamship company, In prompt
iy sending to the rescue all the avail
able vessels and tugs, did all that hu
manity could require.
The history OF the wreck, wheI
summed up. shows that Captain John
son erred In his reckoning, and Meth
er he, his crew nor the passenger
knew where they wore when th'
steamer struck land. The captain
