SAY THE JAPANESE
TRAINING SHIP BASELY
ABANDONED Them

With denunciations of the treatment
given by the Japanese training steam
er Anegawa, the S. s. Mongolia arrived
this afternoon from Midway where she
had been stranded on the coral reef
from September 16 to September 81.
The officers of the Mongolia were boil
ing with indignation over the manner
in which the Japanese naval vessel
deserted the American steamer and
abandoned her to what then seemed to
be certain destruction.
The Mongolia and transport Buford
the latter with the passengers from
the Mongolia arrived off port today
about noon and came into the harbor
within short time. Ten lines of hose
were going constantly throwing water
out of hold No. 9 of the Mongolia, for
the vessel was making water at the
rate of s inches an hour. There is
now about feet of water in this hold
The most water that was in the hold
at any time was about 13 feet There
is thought to be a big hole in either
the bottom or near the bilge of the
ship.
The Mongolia got aground at 1927 p.
m. of September 16. She had sighted
the light at Sand Island about two
hours before she got aground. The
night was dark but clear. The YES
sci went too near the reef as the dis
tance was misjudged. On the bridge
at the time of the accident was Cap
tain Porter, the master of the ship,
Second Officer Cahill, Fourth officer
Wisenhaven and Quartermaster Wag-
ner who was at the wheel. The ves-
sci had been going under a slow bell
for some time. She went on at the
rate of about 3 knots an hour She
struck about 200 yards south of Seward

Held Purse
Strings So
Very Tight
THE REASON ASSIGNED BY MRS
MILUS w. PARKHURST FOR
WANTING A DIVORCE.

Mrs. Milus w Parkhurst is suing her
husband for divorce in the courts of
California. She alleges that he holds
the purse strings too tightly.
Mr. and Mrs. Parkhurst are well
known here, where they have lived
most of their married life. They only
left here a few months ago. She was
Mary Genevieve Vowel and they were
married in Contra Costa County Janu-
airy 16, 1898 They have two children
Emily M. Parkhurst, aged Z and
Martha Parkhurst, aged 3. Mrs. Park
hurst asks for the custody of both
children.
Mrs. Milus Parkhurst was one of the
heirs in the famous Vowel estate liti-
cation which has been going on in San
Francisco for long time. This litiga-
ton was a contest of the will of her
father who after an eccentric career
died, practically disinherting his chill
dren by one wife, i'm favor of his chill
dren by another

ing it overheard. The Japanese is said
by the officers of the Mongolia to have
ordered Purser Rennie off the Anegawa
on September 90 when Rennie and
Porter went out to the Japanese vessel
to plead with the officers to stand by.
Porter offered to buy one of the steam
launches of the Japanese vessel if the
craft could not be loaned him, but
the Japanese refused both offers. In
fact Captain Porter is said to have of
fered every possible inducement to
the Japanese to remain and render
assistance but all offers were refused
and the Japanese came on to Homo

like to land on Midway, but 1 hardly
thought that 1 would take the entire

enough for us to get out our fill and
not long enough to trouble us. I en-

A heavy sea was on this morning,
and when the Waterwitch drew along

rounds Sand Island where the cable
station is located. The lead had been
thrown for some time before the ves-
sci struck and bottom with II fathoms
had been found about twenty minutes
before the vessel struck.
When the vessel struck there was
considerable excitement at first and
some of the Chinese passengers ran
about recklessly, but were promptly
subdued and no further trouble from
them occurred The passengers and
supplies for them were landed the fol-
lowing day at Sand Island. Three
kedge anchors were put out the same
day. To the middle stern anchor was
run an inch Manila hawser, to the
anchor off the port quarter a inch
steel wire, and to the anchor off the
startboard quarter a 9 inch wire haw-
ser. The water commenced getting in

PASSENGERS IN
GOOD SPIRITS
THE PEOPLE WHO MADE AN EN-
FORCED VISIT AT MIDWAY
TAKE IT GOOD NATUREDLY.

The passengers who arrived by the
Army transport Buford We're all in
the best of spirits this morning and all
treat the matter of being shipwrecked
as a huge joke. They were landed at
Midway and were there just long
enough to enjoy it when they were
taken off Upon a few only did it be-
gin to pail. The passengers were at
no time short of food or necessities.
All passengers join in praising the
service aboard the Buford. Some of
them went so far this morning as to
say that it excelled that of the Mon
golia.
The only unpleasantness about the
whole affair was the way in which the
passengers were forced to be taken
aboard the transport. There was only
one way to do it and that was out
through a heavy surf. AS there was
only one steam launch available it was
a difficult and hazardous proceeding

MONGOLIA COMES
HERE LEAKING
Conveyed BY THE BUFORD
THE BIG LINER REACHES PORT.

The Pacific Mail steamship Mongolia
which went ashore at Midway Island
on September Is, arrived here this
morning from Midway, accompanied by
the transport Buford, which went from
here to get the Mongolia passengers
and which acted as a convoy for the
Mongolia on the trip here. The Mon
golia was aleak, and the two steamers
left Midway with the understanding
that the Buford should keep in touch
with the other steamship during the
trip.
The two steamers were sighted off
Barber's point at about a quarter past
ten this morning, the Buford some dis
tance ahead of the Mongolia. The lat
ter had made the trip under her own
power The Mongolia's passengers,
who were landed on Midway after
the stranding, We're brought by the

come off then. one of the wire haw-
sers got caught on the coral bottom
and when the wire was put on the
steam winch to be hauled in, the ship
came off. Her engines were kept go
ing fun speed astern all of the time she
was on the reef.
The boat was aground on the reef
about and a half miles from Sand
Island. Evidently Captain Porter mis-
judged the distance in the night and
was aground before he had any idea of
the proximity of the reef. The reef
could not be seen.
Every possible courtesy and assist
ance was given the Mongolia people by
the cable people at Sand Island. 1t

body was landed the day following the
grounding of the Mongolia.
The Mongolia and Buford left Mid
way on September %. The Restorer
was sighted last Monday night. The
boats signalled to each other and the
Restorer officers inquired if the Mon
golia needed any assistance and were
informed that she did not. The Res
torer then continued on to Midway.
Captain c. F. Glitgaard who was in
Vladivostok for Lloyds, was a passen-

Elaborate Arrangements Made.

The ayuntamiento, or town hall of Alge-
ciras, had been deliberately fitted up for the
sessions of the conference. The marble
staircase is carpeted with red velvet and
lined with palms, and the assembly room,
where the delegates met is wainscoted with
heavy walnut and looks brilliant with its
red curtains and red carpet. The table at
which delegates sit extends the entire length
OF the hall. The presiding officer sits mid
way, in a large leather chair.
The arrangement of the positions of the
delegates is somewhat significant. Iume-
diately on the presidents right are the Ger
mans-Herr Won Radowitz, ambassador to
SPAIN and Count Won Tattenbach, minister
TO Portugal; then come the two Belgians,
separating the Germans from the French
