STEAMER SANK LAUNCH
 HERSELF RUN DOWN
The EVentful and Last Trip of
 Puget Sound Steamer.

Seattle. Dec. 14-One life was lost when the sound steamer Kitsap and the launch Columbia were sunk as a result of two collisions in Seattle harb1r late today.
 The first ucC :dent occurred just as the Kitsap. with thirty passengers and crew of ten men left on the even ing trip to Paulsbo.
 The fog was so thick that objects could not be distinguished a boats length away. Suddenly the launch Columbia appeared directly in her path. Before she could be stopped the Columbia was run down. Aubrey Yemen. a passenger. was lost. The Kitsap then started westward across Elliott Bay; barely three hundred yards from the wharf the steel steam ship Indianapolis poked her sharp prov into the side of the Kitsap's wooden hull a little forward of amid ships. Hundreds of passengers on the Indianapolis were thrown into a panic.
 On the Kitsap. Captain H. A. Han- sen and his officers went among the passengers, reassuring them. The boats were brought together after sev eral minutes and the passengers and crew or the Kitsap were transferred directly from her deck to the Indian apolis.

GLENN H. CURT|SS
 AVIATION PROFESSOR
His Pupil Will Probably Be an Army
 Officer.

Fresno, Calf, Dec. 14.-Glenn H. Curtiss learned on his arrival here today, through the press. that the government had accepted his offer to train an army officer in aviation and he announced that trials would be made at alighting on the deck of a warship. probably at some Los Ang- eles port.
 AS we are to experiment" said Curtiss, during the remainder of the winter in and about Los Angeles, par ticularly in flying over water. I have offered the government to have an officer present throughout the trials who shall assist in handling the ma chimes I learn just now that the of fer is accepted by the. government. but l do not know who the officer will be who will be assigned to the work"
 Experiments in flying over water will include both trials in alighting on the deck of a war vessel. the flights being started from the shore or from the deck of another vessel. but they will include also tests in alighting on water. in machine fitted for that purpose, especially, both as maneu- yer in a battle and to guard against accident when flying over water

TWELVE LIVES LOST
 IN VIRGINIA MINE
A Single One of the Entombed Now
 Alive.

Norton. Va, Dec. 14.-An explosion in the mine of the Bond Coal com pany. at Greene. six miles east of here this morning. cost the lives of twelve men. Only two escaped. one of whom died shortly after being taken out
 The mine superintendent. James Barrowman and three bosses, as soon as possible. entered the shaft as a rescue party and never returned. To- night ten bodies were taken out and one man still alive was rescued.
 Soon after the entrance into the mine. the rescue party signalled the engineer to stop the elevator. It is believed they lost their lives as a blast of flame swept into the shaft.
 When the explosion occurred the whistle of the mine sounded contin- uously. to alarm the surrounding country. The mine produces soft coal containing a large amount of gas. Thirty-five men were employed in the workings at the time of the ex plosion.

A Special and Secret Re-
 port From War Department
 THE HOUSE RETURNED II
On the Ground That It Could Not Receive Conf dential Communications It Referred Especially to Peril of the Pacific Coast.

Washington, Dec. IA report from the war department showing how the country was inadequately protected against invasion from foreign govern ments was sent to the house today as a secret document, and, after several conferences and hurried telephone mes sages. was returned to the war depart ment because the house could not re- ceive a secret report.
 Members of congress who saw the document before its withdrawal Say that the report of Secretary Dickin- son points out that the country is wholly unprepared for war; that there is woeful inadequacy of men, guns. and ammunition; that the army should be reOrganized; that a council of ma tional defense. with the secretary of war at it's head should be created by congress.
 The report of General Wood, mark ed confidential" dealt with these mat ters and gave official notice to mat ters of more or less common knOWl- edge among army and navy experts in this country and abroad In fact. the real significance of the document Is that it makes an official admission of conditions already we'll known among army and navy officers.
 General Wood. before the house military committee. discussed the whole subject of national defenses; he told where the weak points lay. and laid particular emphasis on the pos sibility of an attack from the Orient He did not give vent to alarmist views, but talked confidentially of the prudence of taking immediate action to guard against any possible trouble from Japan or China.
 Representative McLachlan of Cali fornia. author of the resolution which brought about this official eXpositior of the weakness of the military de- lenses. said:
 "A foreign country could land 200. 900 troops on the Pacific within thirty days, and the only intimatiOn of trouble would be their blowing up of the mountain passes. thus preventing any communication with the east. In three states west of the Rocky noun tains-California. oregon and Wash ington-we have 5000 regular troops and 5000 state militiamen. The best military authorities say it would take years to dislodge the foreign troops if they ever secured a fOOthold under these conditions"
 A bill introduced by Representative Hobson embodies the administration idea of a national council for defense and is the result of his conference with President Taft and Secretary of .Ff aT After looking up precedents, the speaker concluded that there was no warrant for the reception of report as a confidential communication. The recognition of the foreword conf dentiar' would involve it's reference to a secret session. which the speaker said was a procedure unprecedented for nearly a century.

SUNDAYS BATTLE DENIED.

Rancho Santiag, Dec. 14.-There was no fighting here yesterday. as had been erroneously reported. nor was there any today. General Ma varro's official report places the number of insurgent dead at eighty
 but an independent investigation can- not confirm this, but it is argued that he killed eighty. It was his plain duty to finish the remnants of the insurgents in their presumably demcralizsd state. The fact that they caRlped within a field glass sight of Navarro is said tC be indica tive of anything but demoralization

WHEN WARS ARE NO MORE
The Fund Is to Be Used for the Suppression of Other World Evils-The Gift in the Hands of Eminent Trustees.

Washingon Dec 14.-Surrounded by twenty-seven trustees of his choos- ing. comprising former cabinet mem bers, former ambassadors, college presidents. lawyers, and educators, Andrew Carnegie today transferred to -.them s1O.00O.060 in 3 per cent first mortgage bonds, valued at Sll,5OO.O0O to be devoted primarily to the estab- lishment Of universal peace by the abolition war between nations and such friction as may impair the pro- gress and happiness of man."
 When wars between nations shall have ceased the fund is to be applied to such altruistic purposes as will best help man in his glorious ascent onward and upward" by the banish- ment of the most degrading evil or evils" then harassing mankind.
 As MT. Carnegie read an informal deed of trust announcing the general purpose of his gift there was pro- longed applause. Then he explained the incidents that inspired the gift, declaring with emphasis that if the English-speaking race of the United States and Great Britain were once consolidated in a movement for in ternational peace, the success Of the measure in the rest of the world would be assured.
 That Great Britain was ready to cooperate with this country, MT. Carnegie said he felt certain and all that was now needed was the occur renee of the president and the sen ate in promulgating the movement on behalf of the United States.
 Senator Root was unanimously elected permanent chairman and James Barry Scott, solicitor for the state department was chosen per manent secretary of, the board until more definite organization could be effected
 Mir Carnegie declined to be inelud- ed in the future organization. His feeling of delight at the manifesto tiOns of appreciation. was. plainly visible in MT. Carnegie's speech.
 There is good basis for the asser- ton that the newly created commis- sion will lend such aid to the estab- lishment of a court arbitration and justice as will be incident to the ac- complishment of a worldwide peace through judicial channels.
