- ASSOCIATED Press by Pacific
Commercial Cable Fears are en-
tertained here that the Union
Steamship Moana is heading di-
rectly into the waters patrolled by
the German cruiser Leipzig and
may be captured. The Moana
cleared from this port at four
o'clock yesterday afternoon, after
having been tied up at Meigg's
wharf for eighteen hours past her
scheduled sailing time. The Nor
wegian steamer Cuzco. which came
in as the Moana left, reported hav-
ing sighted three-funnelled
cruiser, supposed to be the Leip-
zig, about seventy miles southwest
Of here. , :
The plans Of Captain Stringer
Of the Moana, as told by him TO
Friends before SAILING, was to head
Ibis steamer south for some seven-
ty miles, then to make a run for
Tahiti.
If the Leipzig is staying in the
neighborhood where the Cuzco
sighted her, the Moana runs a big
risk of capture.

Columbia, Jan. .19.-Gov. Blease to-
day commuted the sentences of six
negroes, serving sentences in the
State penitentiary from Fairfield

were life-termers. Their sentences
were cut down to 20 years each upon
the Fairfield gang. The other pris-
oner transferred to the gang was
serving a sentence of II years. His
sentence is cut down to nine years.
