LOS ANGELES, Calf. Nov. 20.-The

hulk of the steamer st. Croix three
miles off Point Duma about o'clock
this evening The steamer was mass
of flames and it was impossible to ap-
proach the vessel. No one of the
passengers or crew was to be seen on
the wreck. AS there were no life
RATS in sight or life boats hanging in
the davits it is possible that the hun
dreds or more passengers and thirty
five members of the crew escaped.
There is a heavy fog hanging over
the waters tonight, but the sea is
calm. A considerable amount of
wreckage is floating in the vicinity of
burning ship. No information con-
cerning passengers and crew OF the st.
Croix could be gathered at 10 o'clock
to night and the gravest fear for their
safety is being expressed.
Apparently the st. Croix had been
