was sent Before the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company could make up
it's mind about what it would be will
ing to pay, it was too late. The sea
had risen, and the Centralia could not
stand in close enough to make quick
transfer of passengers in the boats
So the passengers had to take the
dangerous alternative of trying to
make landing in the surf, on shore
barbed with rocks, hemmed by break
ers, which gets it's very name-Surf-
from the fact that the shore is con-
tinually beaten by roaring combers
from the broad Pacific.
From the minute they received in
formation that the Santa Rosa was
ashore the officials of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company withheld infor-
nation from the relatives and friends
of the people in the steamer. They
cid everything possible to make light
of the disaster, and even censored the
messages coming over the single rail
road line from the station at Surf.
They gave out practically nothing and
refused to admit the truth of facts
which came from other sources.
The single message given out Fri
day night at the offices of the com
pany other than a dispatch concerning
the saving of a woman passenger, was
the following message and as it proved
misleading information:
1920 p. m, last man off Santa
Rosa. Second officer E Hewson and
three sailors lost their lives by the
! capsizing of boat while they were try
ing to run line to shore. First man
off Santa Rosa at 4:45 p. m. Specia
train leaves Honda for Santa Barbara
at II o'clock. No suffering.
This dispatch was made public by
f. NJ. Barry, local agent of the com
pany, at 11:15 p. m, after friends anC
relatives of the Santa Rosas passen
gers had clamored for hours for news

One of the most striking examples
of efficient anti-mosquito work was
that done by the American troops in
Havana at the close of the Spanish
war, under the direction of the Army
Medical Corps and under the special
direction of Col. w. c. Gorgas, L. S.
A. Yellow fever had been endemic in
Havana for more than $50 years and
the city was the source of infection
for the rest of Cuba, as other towns
in Cuba could have rid themselves of
the disease if they had not been con
stantly reinfected from Havana. Two
mosquito brigades were started, each
to take care of one of the two most
dangerous species The city was di-
vided into about thirty districts of
1000 houses each, and to each district
an inspector and two laborers were
assigned. One brigade did this work
The other worked along streams, irri-
gated gardens and similar places. The
year before the crusade there had
been 1926 deaths from malaria. Inside
of six years after the campaign be-
gan the number had dropped to TWEEN
ty-three.
Panama, too, has been the scene of
an active campaign against the mos
quito. After the successful work done
by Col Gorgas at Havana the govern
ment appointed him chief sanitary Of
ticer of the Canal Zone In 1904 ac-
tive work was begun. With the as
sistance of Mr.. lie Prince, the chief
OF his mosquito brigade in Havana,
Col. Gorgas was able to begin opera
tons at once without the need of
training anybody. Although condi-
tons were exceedingly bad in the
zone, by a method similar to that ap-
piled in Havana Col, Gorgas was able
greatly to reduce the rate of deaths
from yellow fever.

dertaken in Japan as early as 1901

SUBMARINES NOT
lNVULNERABLE


The British naval authorities at
Portsmouth have been making some
important experiments to determine
the effect of high explosive shells fir
ed by a war ship at a submerged sub
marine. For this purpose it was de-
cided to utilize the Inflated submarine
Al as a target, this being the vessel
that sank with her entire crew seven
years ago off the Isle of Wight Since
her salvage she had been used as an
instructural vessl, and only recently
was passed out of the service. A
week or two ago she was towed out
to the Nab, near the scene of the 1904
disaster, sunk by means of weights to
a depth of a dozen feet, and then
fired at by a torpedo gunboat, in the
presence of a staff drawn from the
Vernon Torpedo and Excellent Gun
merry schools, The result was satisfac-
tory to the gunners, in a sense, for a
few shells sufficed to send the sub
marine to the bottom; but now the
problem is to raise her again, so as
to see the effect of the shell fire upon
her hull, and the difficulties of sal
wage are admitted to be considerable,

LONDON, July 1.-The American
Duchess of Marlborough was by far
the most interesting figure of the
coronation with the exception of the
royalties. Her tragic entrance into
Westminster Abbey, to which she had
not been hidden, is still being discuss
ed as to the possible bearing her i'm
perious action may have on her fu-
ture social career in England under
the reign of King George and Queen
Mary.
The queen is said to have been
greatly displeased by the action of
the duchess, who stood on her rights
as a peeress of the realm, but there
are many personages high at court
who admire the pluck of the fair Con
suelo and predict that despite the
strong objections of the queen to
women separated from their husbands
the Duchess of Marlborough will yet
win the recognition to which she is
entitled at the English court.
All Held Her Blameless.
/ Everyone knows that the Duchess
of Marlborough was blameless in her
domestic difficulties, and declare that
her action in appearing at the abbey
is but a beginning of her campaign
against her husband, whose relatives
have attempted to discredit her in the
eyes of the Puritanical Queen Mary
The Duke of Marlborough has en-.
tered upon an active social career to
show that he is happy despite his
separation from his wife. The exiled

STEAMSHIP COMPANY CHARGED
WITH BARGAINING BY WIRELESS
WITH PASSENGERS IN DANGER

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.-The Pa
cifc Coast Steamship Company,
owner of the wrecked steamer Santa
Rosa. will have to explain to the
United States government the circum-
stances of the extraordinary disaster
of Friday night.
Orders were received in this city
last night from Supervising Inspector
Uhler, at Washington, to Captain John
Birmingham, supervising inspector of
this district, that a rigid inquiry
should be made into the causes for the
loss of life among the Santa Rosa's
passengers and crew that occurred
more than twelve hours after the ship
had been cast ashore.
While the 200 passengers on board
the stranded steamer Santa Rosa were
begging Captain Faria to take them
ashore all day Friday, the officials of
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company
in San Francisco were haggling over
what it would cost them to save the
lives of the men, women and children
aboard the vessel.
Counted the Price.
While three vessels stood by, from
dawn until dark, ready to take the pas
sengers off the steamer, no rescue
! was attempted until it was too late,
because the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company in San Francisco couldn't
make up its commercial mind as to
how much it would be worth to save
200 persons.
Il was told to go to the scene OF
the wreck if necessary" said Captain
birmingham last evening, but could
not reach there until tomorrow, and
by that time everybody will have left
Whoever is to blame for this disaster
will be punished The inquiry will

ing to do with it except on appeal"
THE inquiry will be called as soon
as Captain Faria and the officers OF
the Santa Rosa arrive, which will
probably be by Monday" said Captain
John K. Bulger, local inspector, last
evening. Il have just returned from
Sacramento and knew little about the
wreck and cannot discuss it. But the
officers of the vessels which stood By
will be summoned, as we'll as the OF
fcials in San Francisco of the Pacih'
Coast Steamship Company. We viii

What Will It Cost?
Out of the story of the wreck comes
a sentence that tefrifies more thai
the thought of being cast into the sea
1t adds a new horror to shipwreck
and it is a simple enough message
sounding more like a quotation or al
asking price on the stock exchange.
Two hundred lives hung in the bal
ance, the wireless had brought tire,
ships to them, the weather was clea
and the sea calm, and every minute
was fraught with danger.
The message from the Pacific Coas
Steamship Company in San Francisc
, to Captain Faria on the wreck was:
Ask the captain on the Centrali
what it will cost to have the passer

Duchess Of Marlborough is

King Manuel of Portugal, who is rap

a great chum of the duke and at a
recent fete at Blenheim was one of
the most active of the dukes aids in
entertaining the gay and aristocratic
company
King Manuel himself is an interest

on the pension allowed him by Portu-
gal and is much in society, but thus

Still Loves Gaby Desys.
Manuel, according to those who
knew him well, is still desperately in
love with the sprightly Gaby Deslys,
the pretty dancer who helped to boot
him from his throne, and who was
called the uncrowned Queen of Por-
tugal.
Gaby, however, does not appear to
take the same lively interest in the
exiled king as she did when he was on
a throne and in command of unlimited
means. She is in Paris and has re-
turned to the stage in the most lively
and daring sketch of the season Gaby
