steamer Mount Temple which struck
the Lahave ledges during snow
storm yesterday. Present indications
are that the Mount Temple will be

The work of transferring the pas
sengers and crew to the mainland
took place this morning. The saving
of all of the passengers, more than
600 in number, under the most dan
gerous conditions, is regarded as a
feat unexcelled in the annals OF ma
rine disasters In the North Atlantic.
When the ship struck the rocks
hundreds of immigrants among
whom were more than 200 women and
children were thrown into a panic.
Heavy seas swept over the ship and
for hours the passengers stood waist
deep in water. All suffered terribly
from the cold.
AS soon as order was restored line
was taken ashore and by means OF
baskets the women and children were
transferred to the island. Several fish
ing schooners assisted and within
three hours all had been landed safely
on the island without an accident.

From information contained in dis
patches last night and this morning
from Velarde 1t was learned that Miss
Templeton was either stabbed to
death with a knife or dubbed into in
sensibility with bludgeon and then
kicked in the head until death ensued.
Instead of being Baptist missionary
teacher as was at first reported il
developes that she and a married sis
ter conducted small store In the set
tlement where the brutal murder was
committed. She is said to have been
woman about fifty or fifty-five years
of age and had lived for over twenty
years at Velarde.
How Crime Was Committed.
AS far as can be learned the murd-
er of Miss Templeton is the sequel
to a robbery one night last week when
the store was broken into and Miss
Templeton, it is said, recognized the
robber. Saturday afternoon while she
stood In the rear door of the store
she was attacked from behind and
knocked down either by stab from a
knife or blow from heavy club. 1t
is said her skull was crushed as If she
had been kicked In the head by her
assailant The assassin escaped before
the horrible crime was discovered.
Suspicion pointed to David Martinez
y Sanches as being the guilty person
and he was arrested Sunday evening
by the local authorities. He at first
denied being the murderer but when

ton to Take Notice

Washington, Dec. 3.-Viscount Stu
70 Aoki, Japanese ambassador to the
United States, has been recalled. He
called at the White House and the
state department today, notifying
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Root Of this fact. Technically he has
been sent for by his government to
make personal report as to the feel
ing in this country on the exclusion
question. Ambassador Aoki gave no
tice of his recall practically at the
same time word was received of the
sailing of the torpedo section OF the
Japanese fleet destined for the Pa
cific.
Aoki Popular in Washington.
Aoki has been an answering friend
of the United States Throughout all
the recent difficulties. He has been
here little over year and his re-
call so soon can be taken as nothing
but an expression Of a disapproval OF
his course.
1t is believed the purpose of the
Japanese government Is to secure
from Viscount Aoki information which
Commissioner Ishii could not have
possibly acquired during his short
stay in America regarding the
attitude of the administration here
with particular refernce to measures
recently applied by the Japanese gov
ernment to restrict the departure
from Japan for America of large num-
bers of the coolie element. Also that
the Japanese government desires a
prudent forecast of the likelihood OF
congressional action in the direction
of exclusion legislation.
