IS. S. : ONONDAGA"
/ IS ON The BEACH.
The Chances of Saving the Ship
Are Considered About
Even.
CAPTAIN LOST BEARINGS
Officers and Crew Are in No
Danger-Ship Was Bound
for Charleston.
CAPTAIN LOST BEARINGS

(. CHATHAM, MASS. January 13.-Stray-
ing from the beaten track. the Clyde Line
freight steamer Onondaga. Captain Bun
nell, bound from Boston for Charleston
and Jacksonville, struck on Orleans
Beach early to-day. and is in a dangerous
position. AT low water this afternoon
the Onondaga was high and dry, but
vessel at no time gave evidence of break
ing UP. The chances of saving the steam
er We're considered about even.
The steamer struck the beach nearly
head-on. and the heavy sea soon drove
her stern around, until at daylight her
nose was pointing back toward Boston.
The vessel had wandered two miles off
the course In the fifteen-mile run from
Nausett Lights to Pollock Rip Shoal
lightship during night. which. though
cloudy, was comparatively clear. Cap
tain Bunnell shouted to one of the life
savers this afternoon that he thought he
was considerably farther to the South.
and had hauled his vessel in shore to
pick UP either land or light. Within
minute after getting sounding OF seven
fathoms, his vessel grounded on the bar.
The Onondaga left Boston yesterday af-
ternoon with miscellaneous cargo for
the Southern States.
Two tugs arrived at the scene this af-
ternoon, but no attempt was made to float
the vessel. 1t is expected that the greater
portion of her cargo will have to be light
cred before the vessel can be floated. At
dark tonight the captain shouted ashore
that his vessel was still tight and showed
no signs of breaking up. although she
had been hammered steadily all day, and
spray was continually flying over her.
The Onondaga was built at philadelphia
in 1905. She Is 2,155 tons net burden. and
27e feet over all. She carries a crew of
twenty-eight men. She has been on the
Boston and Jacksonville Line almost con-
tinuously as a freghter.

NORFOLK, VA, January 13.-Because

SESSION MAY BE
LONG DRAWN OUT
Reported That Majority Will Re
sign if Constitutional Au-
tllority to Remove Foster
and Assistants Is Not
Upheld-Interest
in Hearing.

Not great deal of real business Is
expected at the meeting of the General
Hospital Board at the Eastern State
Hospital. in Williamsburg. to-day. but
the body is expected to map out pro-
gram for its work, which promises to
hold the attention Of the State for some
time to come.
Tho only member OF the general
board who could be found in the city
last night was Hon. Haynes Y. Morgan.
of Marion, a. member OF the board at
the Southwestern Hospital, but he did
not care to say anything for publication.
1t was learned, however, that In the
event 1t was found the general board
had acted without constitutional authori
ty In the matter of removing DR.. Foster
and his associates, the members consti-
tuting the majority would all offer their
designations to the Governor.
This is unofficial however, and does
not come from a member OF the board.
1t Is believed that the officers who are
and have been 30 long under fire will be
given the bruadest opportunity to DEFEND
themselves before the general board, but
the impression prevails that unless they
covered" evidence in their favor. they
VIII have to go, in accordance with the
first verdict.
Will Meet at Noon.
The board is summoned to meet at VIII
liamsburg at noon to-day, but 1t will
hardly get down to hard work before to-
morrow. DR.. Foster will be represented
by Messrs. Lawless and Jeffries of Nor
folk, and Hon. Charles v. Meredith, OF
this city. while Messrs. Munford. Hunton,
Williams and Anderson, OF Richmond,
will represent the board. 1t is not prob
able that all of the gentlemen mentioned
will be present
Colonel Law.ess and Mr.. Meredith, will
probably be on hand for DR.. Foster.-and
Mr.. Hunton and probably his partner,
Mr.. Henry w. Anderson will personally
appear for the board.
The case has already furnished a vast
amount OF public interest. The climax
is yet to come, and 1t is awaited with
almost bated breath all over the State.
It is impossible to say how long the
trial will last. The time is estimated by,
those in close touch at anywhere from
four days to two weeks. The attorneys.
newspaper men and many of the board
members will leave here for Williams
burg on the Q o'clock Chesapeake and
Ohio train this morning.

Will Aid Minister Creel in

Coming Up.
BOUNDARY LINE INVOLVED
New Counselor Is Popular in
Washington and in Close
Touch With Affairs.

WASHINGTON, January Reconsider
cial and diplomatic circles by the an
nouncement from Mexico that Senior Don
Jose Godoy, Mexican minister to Cuba,
has been appointed as counselor of the
embassy in this city.
This news comes Unexpectedly for two
reasons. One Is that Senor Godoy, who
for several years was first secretary,
and for some time charge d'affaires OF
the embassy In this city, was promoted
last winter to minister to Cuba, and his
return to Washington in the capacity of
counselor would be q lower step In diplo-
matte rank. The second reason Is that
this will be the first time for Mexico to
send a counselor of embassy to the
United States.
The arrival of Senor Godoy is expected
to be almost simultaneous with that OF
Senor Creel, the new Mexican ambassa-
dor. who will leave Mexico City early
next week and arrive here about jan
uary 22d
Boundary Question.
The decision of the Mexican Govern-
ment to send counselor here is believed
to be due to the fact that important
diplomatic questions are to be taken up
with this government by Senior Creel
shortly after his arrival here. A ques-
ton OF Importance already pending is
that of the changeable boundary be-
tween this country and that.
Senior Godoy has been selected for the
Office of counselor for the reason. it is
understood. that his long term Of duty
in this city brought him into close touch
with American affairs and he will be in
position to acQuaint the new ambassa-
dor with the situation here and to stand
ready with advice. Senior Godoy became
quite popular with the officials of this
government during his period of service
here, particularly during the time he
was charge d'affaires. from the spring
till the late autumn Of 1905. TIe is said
to have attracted the most favorable at
tention of both the President and Sec
retary of State.
