Toxic Announces Men Of
Wrecked Man-of-War
Have Been Rescued.
RESCUE ORDERS
NOT MADE PUBLIC
Government Officials Guard lnforma.
tion in Order TO Preserve Neutrality
Of United States-Loeation Of Scene
Of Wreck 10 Not Announced For
Fear information Might 30 Used by
Enemy's Commanders.

Toxic, Japan, Feb 5.-An official re-
port received in Toxic on the loss OF
the cruiser Asama, off the western
coast of Lower California. says that all
the officers and members OF the crew
have been saved.
The Asama struck an uncharted rock
off the coast OF Mexico. The extent OF
the damage to the steamer Is not
known nor can anything be said as to
the probabilities of saving her. Tho
absence of direct news from the Asama
suggests that her wireless has been dis
abled. The casting away of the Asama
was reported to Washington yesterday
by Rear Admiral Howard. commander
OF the American Pacific fleet. In this
report the number of men on the Asama
was placed at 500.
Secrecy Marks Rescue Orders.
Washington. Feb. 5.-Rescue orders
for the Japanese ship Asama, ashore
and breaking up on the Lower CALI
fornia coast were cloaked In secrecy
here today to protect the neutrality OF
the United States.
On the theory that information OF the
disabled Japanese ship might become
of value to German men-of-war In the
Pacific. the navy department kept Sc.
cret Its latest dispatches from Rear Ad-
miral Howard. commander Of the Pa
clhc fleet. sent from his flagship. the
cruiser San Diego. In the neighborhood
of Ensenada, and refused information
of the movements OF American men-of-
war going to the Asama's aid.
1t was believed here. however. that
first aid would be given by the cruiser
Raleigh. The San Diego. crippled by =
recent boiler explosion, would be unable
to make fast time to the wreck near;
Turtle bay.
$50 Miles or San eartolN,s.
Admiral Howard said the Asama Wao
about $50 miles south OF Port San Far.
tofne. but Inquiries for further details
had brought no response.
The gunboat Yorktown. at EnsenAta.
was near the scene of the wreck than
any other American naval vessel, but
navy officials said 1t probably would
not start for the scene of the wreck.
The Asama. an armored cruiser OF
$3.50 tons, was built in 1898. For sew
eral months 1t has been patrolling tho
eastern Pacific. Early In the war ie
forced the German gunboat Geier to in-
tern at Honolulu by taking up a posi-
ton outside the harbor while the GeieP
was in port for provisions.
