Probably Eight Lost.

'Thcrc We're probably eight lost In
all and 1t will be some time before the
exact number Is known" said @. G..
Shooner of San Luis Obspo. 1.-TWO
boats capsized, one from the Santa
Rosa in command of Second Mate
Hueson and another from the steamer
Helen =. Drew, which stood by us all
day, waiting for chance to help us
get line ashore"
Among those too seriously hurt to
leave the train was Miss Jennie
Weaver of san Francisco With an
other woman and four children, she
was sent ashore In n net attached to
the surf line. Waves washed over
them continually on their passage to
the beach and all We're completely
exhausted when they reached ,ne s..cro
and had to be cut from the net.

Surf, cal. July S.-Captain J. o.
Taria. commander of the wrecked
steamer Santa Rosa made statement
today as he stood on the beach look
ing at the fragment of his vessel which
remains above water. He placed the
blame for the stranding of the steamer
and the known loss of four lives on the
shoulders Of Third Officer Thomas,
who was officer of the deck when the
Santa Rosa plunged upon the rocks be-
fore dawn yesterday morning.
Thomas, in defense. stated that he
"overread" the ships log and thought
he was off Point Conception. a few
miles south of the point where the
steamer grounded.
Captain Faria said the current sets
hard ashore near Saddle Rock. where
the steamer struck, and that Thomas
neglected to call him, as Is customary.
when soundings were taken.
No Count Made.
Whether or not there was loss of
life among the passengers is still In
doubt. Some of the ships company say
positively that from three to eight
perished. but as yet no effort has been
made to check the passenger list
against the Survivors. As the pas
sengers have left here on various
trains, complete check will hardly

Superintendent Allison of the Pacific
Coast Steamship company, who ar
rived today. said that the vessel was
II total loss and that Captain Pills
bury. surveyor for the Marine Under
writer's. had given permission to aban-
don the wreck after the passengers
had been taken ashore. The Officers
and crew of the Santa Rosa were
puartered last night at ranch house
near the scene OF the wreck. This
morning they made vigorous. but more
or less vain, efforts to save the bag
gage and some of the cargo.

For 10 years Castro ruled Venezuela

that his enemies mastered the strength
to depose him. He has boastcd that

Another angle was touched later in
the day by Harlan Updegraff, spe-
cialst In school administration, of the
bureau of education at Washington
who expressed doubts Of the efficacy
Of various inducements held out to

schools. citing life tennres. salary in

Like other speakers Mr.. Updegraff
admitted that he had not much In the

Boston. Cambridge and Newton. Mass,

they could be transmitted without the
