EUREKA, Cal, Aug. 17.-The steam

struck on the south spit of the Hum
boldt bar this morning, is lying at an
chor 200 yards north of the life saving
station with a donkey engine pump
running constantly in desperate at
tempt to check the inflowing water out
of her hull At last report the water
was gaining and there was grave dan
ger that. the vessel would be swamped
if a successful effort to beach her Is
not made soon.
The Aberdeen, commanded by cap
tain Hansen, attempted to cross the
bar this morning during heavy fog.
When half over the ship struck on the
rocks on the south side. An attempt
was made at once to back off, but the
chief engineer reported that with the
leaks developed she would sink in half
an hour if she was taken into deep
water. Rather than founder, Captain
Hansen attempted to beach her on the
north side of the entrance and had
reached a point within 200 yards of the
life saving station when the fires were
drowned and the vessel was brought to
anchor Divers report big damage be-

SONS OF ARMY MEN
FORBIDDEN TO PLAY
BASEBALL OR "TAG''

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Little boys,
sons of army officers stationed on
Governors island, are so fond of
playing tag and baseball on the
lawn and front of the officers houses
and running about in a hide-and-seek
fashion on the government ferryboat
Hancock that a formal order of the
department of the east to desist from
such sport in the future has been is
sued. The order requires of parents
that the "boys be taught circumspec-
ton and quiet on the ferryboat In the
future.
The order is divided into two sec
tions. The ferryboat incident is the
first section. The second section has
to do with playing of tag and base
bali on the lawns in front of the Of
ficers' houses.
Still another section deals with roller
skating in the vicinity of the ferryboat
landing.
Like their fathers and uncles, the
bows obey orders.

TEHERAN, Aug. IA state of ex-
citement exists in Ispahan, which here
tofore had been quiet. The trouble has
been precipitated by an attempt to
exile Gadjiaga Nurulla, one of the

residents of Ispahan closed the bazaars
