 LONDON, March 9, - The Spanish government sought to learn the fate of the crew and passengers aboard the freighter Mar Cantabrico which was sent to the bottom of the Bay of Bis cay this morning by an insurgent cruiser.
 It is believed in some quarters that they were all picked up by the cruiser. The freighter sailed from New York with war supplies for the Spanish government, only few hours before congress pass ed the bill prohibiting munitions shipments to Spain.
 British Warships went into ac- ton when the sunken vessel was at first thought to be a British ship.

UNDATED, March 9, - Eight states, and part of Canada were shaken early Tuesday by earth tremors and shocks. Each state reported along minor damage, al- though the shocks were sufficient ly severe in many cases to aw- aken persons by rattling of win dows and shaking of furniture.
 Reverent Joseph s. Joliet de- partment head of seismology at the John Carrol University in Cleveland said the tremors were felt in most midwestern states, and were "of about the same mag nitude as last weeks, perhaps a litter greater in intensity. The source was the same, an upthrust ing section of rock crust in the old glacial region in northwestern Ohio, where the tremors lasted for eight minutes and were clear ly recorded.".
 . Southwestern Ohio and north cern Kentucky felt two pronounc- ed shocks.
 Huntington, West Virginia, MI waukee, Columbus Chicago Gin cinnati Louisville and Detroit re ported buildings were shaken but not dangerously.
 Many central Indiana cities and towns felt distinct shocks which lasted a few seconds.
 Lafayette, Indiana recorded two successive tremors. Berkeley, Cal. i1ornia felt shocks which rocked beds. London, Ontario felt min. .os shocks.

FUND TO SEND TEAM NOME TO FAIRBANKS
 APPEARS GOING OVER

The drive to secure financial backing to send a Nome basket ball team of seven men to the Fairbanks Ice Carnival to com pete with other Alaskan cities, ran into a snag last night when the Council declined to vote a hundred dollars to start the ball rolling.
 However, a popular subscrip- tion was immediately started and ach councilman donated privately toward the fund.
 More than a hundred and fifty dollars was subscribed last ev- ening through public donations, and this morning even more en- couraging news was announced when it became known that the total had been sWe.led to nearly $250. The campaign continued this afternoon, and little doul t remains that the mark of $45O to finance the transportation, will be reached.
 The Kennel Club is being ap- preached this evening to donate a hundred dollars, to put the fund over.
 Everyone will admit that inter-

city goodwill is fine policy for any town to get behind and push.
 Nome, for some years past, has been unable to provide athletic entertainment due to the absence of a public auditorium or gym. Athletic spirit and interest was revived this winter with the base ball series. No team from Nome has competed with other Alaskan towns for many years, and Nome has indirectly suffered from lack of contact.
 Here is an opportunity to re- instate Nome, and bring it into harmony with other cities of the Territory.
 The expense is not prohibitory. Fairbanks has guaranteed $500 and that will cover the teams expenses while they are in the interior city, and the money rais ed will go for transportation and remain right in town. So let's put t oyer with a bang. Already sig cable donations have been receiv ed, testifying to the generosity and interest of public spirited people of Nome. It will be mon ey well spent. Do your bit!
