MAY MEAN DISASTER.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 10.-The
steam schooner Prentiss. which ar
rived from Eureka this afternoon with
a cargo Of lumber for the Pacific Lum-
Der Company, reports passing through
| miles of oil-covered seas off the Men
| docino coast yesterday afternoon. Cap
! tain SchiIlinsky feared that marine
| disaster had occurred off the coast. No
/ vessel has been reported recently as
being in distress, but it is thought
| probable that the oil-carrying barge
| Roderick Dhu, which left here last
Wednesday for Portland in tow of the
! Spreckels tug Dauntless encountered
/ severe northwest gales and it was
found necessary to use part of her oil
cargo to calm the turbulent seas.
SPACE ON TRANSPORT.

as is now the case for accommodations
on board the Army transports sailing

The applications for staterooms are
quite unprecedented in volume and for
that matter in the urgency of the re-
/ quests. All the accommodations on the
transports sailing as far ahead as Oct
ober have been practically allotted and
| there is still a large number of appli-
cations on file in the quartermastel
generals office for assignments OF
space on the transports.
