steamer Rainbow and the tugs Her cules and Defiance are also at the scene It was reported that First Mate Richmond. with crew of volunteers, had put off in a small boat to try and reach the schooner. The boat carried a fog horn with which it was planned to exchange signals with the Hanal3is horn. It is believed that besides the two whose bodies are reported to have been washed ashore, that others on the rapidly breaking up of the vessel vent ured into the surf in an effort to win the land.
 It is reported that an overturned life beat from the Hanalei, and a life raft have been thrown upon the beach,
 The Hanalei was owned by the Inde- pendent Steamship company of Los Angeles and operated between Eureka and san Francisco. IL left Eureka yes terday and expected to reach this port early today The vessel was command- ed by Captain Carey At least twelve vessels stood by tie Hanalei waiting for the dawn ,hen the curtain Of fog shall Tiff. and reveal the exact position of the stricken ship. A ray of hope was found in the fact that the Hanalei is l.nown to be staunchly built aud therefore likely to survive many mora hours before breaking up and settling into deeper water at the edge of the shoals.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23-Anxicty for the safety of French and British subjects and their interests in Mexico City brought Sir Cecll Spring Rice British ambassador, and Jules Jusso rand, the French ambassador, to the state department today 10 learn what the American government knew of the situation in the Mexican capital. Reports to the state departme mt showed conditions as improved.
 Jusserand also inquired what dis position had been made of the million dollars in custom duties collected bY the American forces which evacuated Vera Cruz He was informed that General Funston's forces had taken the money with them and that no decision had been reached as to it's disposition. French bondholders have la lien on practically all the customs duties at Vera Cruz. One loan gave them 63 per cent of the customs re Ceipts and Hperta negotiated loan giving them the remaining 3S per .Cent The latter transaction has been declared invalid by the Carranza gov ernment and the French bondholders feared if the customs were given to General Candido Aguilar. who took possession today in the name of Car ranza. their obligations would be ig- nored Ii is virtually certain that until government is recognized in Mexico which has arranged for the aGjustment of all financial difficul- ties of the republic. the funds from Vera cruz will be kept by the United States.

Five Members of Life-Sav- ing Crew Perish Trying to Reach Vessel Breaking Up on Coast North of San Francisco

Lives of Fifty-sever Other Men, Women and Chil- dren Hang i'll Balance as Life-Sayers Work Heroic allv in the Darkness

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 23. Five members of crew of life-savers try ing to reach the schooner Hansle', ashore on reef north of here, were drowned tonight. Two of the Hana- iei's crew were drowned today try ing to make their way through the surf with lines. Two passengers managed to swim to safety.
 The lives of fifty-five other men and women clnging to the boat are hanging in the balance.
 It was realized that about the only hope of saving the remainder of the passengers and crew was to get a line out from the shore. To make this attempt, the San Francisco Ex- aminer arranged to send mortar gun and the crew of the Golden Gate lie saving station 70 the scene of the wreck.

 One of the passengers who gained the peach is EIwood Schwerin of Berkeley. The other whose name was not ascertained, was washed ashore unconscious, but was not seriously in- jured.
 Advices early tonight from the steamers standing by the passenger schooner HanaleL ashore on DuXbury Reef. a few miles north of here, stated that two bodies have come ashore, that the back of the vessel has been broken, and there is little hope of saving the remaining 57 persons of the passengers and crew still aboard. As night fell and darkness added it's pail to the dense fog prevailing, the relief vessels with drew to deep water to escape the dan ger of striking the rocks which stud | that section menacing the coast.
 Life boats from the stations at Fort | Point and Point Bonita remained, try ] ing vainly to succor those on board the i doomed craft The sea was compara- lively calm but the surf at that point I is always heavy It was this the rescue forces had to work against to get with l m ;tlul1G ulSldHtt pl tue SNliotllti shortly after sunset the fog thinned momcntarily and from the wireless sta ton at Belinas the Hanalei was | glimpsed It was seen the vessel was broken near the center and on the tilt ing decks the passengers and crew were grouped clinging to masts and rails
 Their cries for help could be heard clearly above the booming breakers
 Then the fog closed again, plotting out all sight of the vessel. but through the veil was still heard the thin calls of the
 despairing passengers and crew
 The first information concerning the number of persons carried by the Ha-
 nalei came in a wireless message at

 Recent operations in the Persian gulf have been crowned with even greater and more rapid success than was anticipated after the signal defeat inflicted upon the Turkish forces No Vember l5 to r. The latter abandoned all further resistance here, fled, leav- ing eight guns and many wounded in Jour hands.
