STEAMER CALIFORNIA ON ROCKS
Bound for Glasgow, Fast on TORY Isl.
and During Fog-400 In Peril.

Bound for Glasgow, Fast on TORY ISL
and During Foe-4o0 in Peril.
Londonderry, Eng.-In a thick fog
and rain, which rendered TORY island
invisible from the main land, the An
Choir line steamer California, bound
from New York for Glasgow, went
ashore on the rocks off that island.
Wireless calls for help brought
speedy assistance from several small
g%unboats and torpedo boats which
were ~patroling the northwest Irish
coast for gun unners in connection
with the Ulster movement.
The latest news received here is that
the California is fast on the rocks, but
is in no immediate danger. She struck
with such force that the lower part
of her bow was badly crushed.
The steamer, which has on board 121
saloon and over 300 second cabin pas
sengers, lies in five fathoms of water
forward and seven fathoms aft.
The passengers and crew are still on
board. There was no panic when she
struck. Another liner, steamers and
gunboats r standing by and others
will arrive during the night. The dis
aster was due to failure to hear the
fog whistle.

Zacatecas, Mex.-Late reports show
that the losses of the federals here
were much greater than at first sup
posed. While final figures have not
been obtained it is known that the
number of prisoners taken by Villas
troops exceeded 4500. The number of
killed was near that figure. Nearly
1000 wounded federal soldiers are be-
ing cared for by the constitutionalist
hospital corps.
The latest casualty reports Of the
constitutionalists were over 700 dead
and about 300 wounded. These figures
are not complete. Many of Villas
brigades maintain their special SAM
tary services, and while reports have
been made by them none are thought
to be complete.
General Trinidad Rodriguez, com
mander of the Cuauhutemoc brigade,
who was shot through the throat Tues
day, died of his wounds. General Rod.
riguez was leading his brigade when
he was struck down. General Villa
feels the loss of this officer keenly
The two were close friends. General
Rodriguez will be buried at Parral.
/ The town of zacatecas gradually is
assuming normal conditions. All Of
the dead have been buried and many
carcasses of horses have been burned
and the streets given a thorough
cleaning. The business Of the city
paralyzed during the battle, has beer
resumed. Food has been extremely
scarce. The repairing of the electric
light system has been begun.
