BLAZING STEAMER
RACES WITH DEATH
LINER CONGRESS, WITH HUN.
DREDS ON BOARD, CATCHES
FIRE AT SEA.
Passengers and Crew are Taken of
BY Oredge in Time to Avert Dis
aster, But Vessel was Com
pletely Destroyed.

Marshfield, Ore.-With her hold
mass of flames, the Pacific Coast
Steamship company's liner Congress
raced against death for the entrance
of Coos bay late Thursday, and safe"
ly transferred her passengers and
crew to the dredge, Colonel p. S.
Niche, thirty miles off shore. Shortly
after the last soul on board had been
disembarked the Congress flared up
like a torch from STERN to stern and
was completely destroyed.
Two miles off Coos bay bar, which
Is twenty-five miles off shore, the
Congress was forced tn come to a
stop aud cast anchor Had the Dredge
Niche not been working on the bar
when the Congress approached Coos
bay a tragic catastrophe probably
would have resulted. The Niche
came close alongside the burning
ship almost Immediately after the lat
ter cast anchor.
BY that time the Congress was
completely enveloped in smoke, which
swirled out and enveloped the Niche
also. L ne ueChS VI tnt COubitSS
were blistering hot. Men and women,
choking in the smoke, endeavored to
pile into life boats. The crew, how
ever, under the direction Of Captain
N. T.. Cousins, remained in control of
the situation and were assisted by the
more self-possessed of the passengers.
Women cried Historically. but there
was no panic.
Seven life boats were lowered, and
women and children were put into
them without disorder.
Abandoned to her fate, the Con-
gress drifted toward the spit at the
entrance to Coos bay, lighting the
sky for miles around.
Considering the rapidity with which
the fire on the Congress spread after
its discovery, the safe transfer of all
on board is considered to have been
remarkably fortunate.
The cause of the fire, which origi-
mated in the steerage near No. 2 hold,
may never be determined

In Northern Macedonia the British

Gained Additional Successes
Against Bulgarians.

Smashing the German line
on front of six miles north of the
Somme in France, the British forces

advance since the Anglo French of.

Three towns, two woods and the
possession of nearly all the high
ground between Combles and the
Pozieres-Bapaume road fell to the
British.
Not only did the Germans lose
these points, but the British drive i'm
perils the Combles and Thiepval po-
sitions at either end of the British
front. The gaining of the high ground
north of Combles gives the British
command of the approaches to Ba-
paume.
The Germans, under Crown Prince
Ruprecht of Bavaria, fought stubborn.
ly to hold their ground, London se8s,
and the fighting was severe all along
the line. More than 1900 prisoners
were taken by the British.
In northern Macedonia the British,
French and Serbian armies have
gained additional successes, breaking
down the Bulgarian defense, in the
center and on the left wing. French
troops took Bulgarian positions a half
mile deep on a front of one mile.
West of Lake Ostrovo. the Serblans
captured Malkanidze. The British at

NEUTRAL STEAMER
STEAMER HELD UP IN PHILIPPINE
WATERS BY BRITISH
WAR VESSEL.
Incident Occurred Off caraboa Island
and is Not the First Time That
Britons Have lntefered
With Shipping.

Washington Violation of American
neutrality by a British torpedo boat
which held up and examined the Phil
ippine steamer Cebu within the terri
torial waters of the Philippines was
reported to the war department Tues
day by Gvernor General Harrison.
The dispatch Immediately was trans
mitted to the state department and
will be made the subject of a vigorous
protest to Great Britain.
The incident occurred one mile and
a half off Carabao island. According
to the report of the steamers master,
Lieutenant Bales. commanding II. M.
S. destroyer No. 2. boarded the Cebu,
made inquiries about her passengers
and took both the ships manifest and
her passenger list. Apparently the of
ficer was searching for man named
Badly, who was not found.
On releasing the Cebu. the lieuten-
ant made this note on her log:
Boarded at $3.50 a. m, 9-11-16, ex'
amined and passed"
There has been more than one COM
plant about the activity of the British
vessels around the Philippines and
while Governor General Harrison's re-
port furnishes the basis for a specific
protest 1t is probably that Great Brit
ain Will be called upon to restrict the
operations or ner patrolling squadron

waters of the islands.
