THE BRITISH SHIP ANDELANA CAPSIZES IN TACOMA HARBOR THE BRITISH SHIP ANDELANA, SUNK WITH HER CREW ABOARD IN TACOMA BAY. CAPTAIN STAILING AND SEVENTEEN MEN DROWNED Vessel Goes Down at Night During a Squall and Is Not Missed Until Morning. rACOMA, Jan. 14.— Captain Stall- 1 1 ing and seventeen men were I drowned by the sinking of the I British ship Andelana during a . heavy wind storm early this morning, j' The gale which blew her over was one | of the most severe experienced here in ' .years. It blew at the rate of thirty- | eight miles an hour. The Andelana i was capsized almost instantly and be- jl fore her officers and crew knew that . they were in peril. Yesterday noon a gale sprang up, | which soon reached thirty miles an | hour. It gradually subsided until night- j | fall or the Andelana probably would I have pulled into a dock. As it was, j I she remained at anchor in the stream, I . being pit-vented tipping over only by heavy log buoys moored on either side i of her. This was really a dangerous i position during windy weather, for all 1 of her ballast had been discharged and ! she had taken no stiffening aboard. There is no doubt that when the ter- , rible gale sprang up last night she j \u25a0 partly turned over. This lifted her ! ] starboard ballast log out of the water j : and itt- weight caused a defective link ; to break. Thus released from the log, | ' the ship turned suddenly on her beam ends, and in another instant the water was pouring down her hatchways, j ' These were but loosely covered and af- ; forded no protection. With her toppling j masts and towering side to give the gale full swing, the- Andelana went over as though she were a racing shell. How the seamen struggled to escape can be imagined, but without doubt they had scarcely leaped from their bunks into the inflowing waters before j their vessel had struck bottom, twenty- i three and a half fathoms below the sur- face. This is indicated by the fact that the vessel did not drift from her moor- ing place, but sank almost at the spot where she was moored last night. With daylight this morning tho Ande- \u25a0 lana was missed. Where sin; had been riding, apparently secure, at dusk last night there- Bbxrwed but a blank stretch of waters. Captain Doty of tho ship Walter EL Wilson was probably the first i" discover the Andelana'a disap- '.pearance. Hurriedly calling hit; gig l : crew he was rowed to the tug Fair- i field,' lying at the Eureka dock. The | tug was sent across the Andelana's j anchorage. Not a trace of the missing ! .'ship was to be found. The Fairfield j then crossed tt? tho eastern :-ide of the .' bay. Here the Andelana's fate was j madf evident. Swamped and with battered gunwale one of the ship's lifeboats tossed against the gravelly beach. Further on was found a ballast log, with a broken chain I attached. Then were discovered wooden j shovels such as had been used on the Andelana. The last piece of wreckage found was a mattress marked with the ship's name. I'll and down the beach Captain Doty and Captain Hurley of the tug tramped, but not another vestige of wreckage i from the ship was to be found. \u25a0 It was scarcely believed along the water front that the ship could have . sunk without some one escaping or without being heard by watchmen aboard vessels at the St. Paul and Ta- . coma Lumber Company's wharf, less than half a mile away. To make cer- tain of her fate, it was decided to send the tug Fairfield out with grappling •irons to locate the wreck. At 5 o'clock I this afternoon a steam launch caught with grappling irons what seemed to be a piece of cable. Still later the tug Fairchild caught hold of some solid substance. This was the best that could be ac- complished with grappling irons at a depth of 141 feet, and is considered complete evidence that the ship is lying underneath where she was last seen anchored. This depth is too great to permit divers to work with ease. No attempt has been made to engage divers pending the receipt of instruc- tions from shipowners or underwriters. I Shipping men believe the vessel can be j raised with air bags or by sinking air- | tight scows and connecting them with | cables which shall pass beneath the wreck. The water would then be j pumped out of the scows, causing them | to raise. The bodies cannot be recovered unless I the vessel be raised. It is believed they | would be recognizable should the ves- sel be raised several months hence, since tho ice cold water at the bottom j of the Sound will tend to preserve them. The Andelana was to have loaded wheat here next week for Queenstown. Her coming voyage would have com- ; pleted her trip around the world. She ; left London about a year ago for New York, whence she sailed in May for Shanghai with coal oil. She reached i there on October 19, and arrived to Port Angeles seventeen days ago. At j that time she was erroneously reported j as being the overdue bark Caradoc. i Eppinger & Co. subsequently chartered' her and she reached here this week. To be absolutely on the safe side. [ Captain Stalling should have taken j some wheat aboard as stiffening be- fore discharging all his ballast. Wheat ! vessels loading here and at Portland. however, have been in the habit of re- | lying only upon the less expensive log i system of ballast during the interim be- j tween discharging ballast and loading, j Capt. Stailing expected to be towed to j his loading berth to-day. Possibly he had j some apprehension of danger by wind, ; for last evening he declined an invita- | tion to dine and spend the night ashore, saying his place was aboard his ship. Twelve men left the ship on Wednes- j day. The next day ten of them shipped I on the ship Dirigo for Queensto-wn. j Apprentice Buck was sent to the hos- j pital for an operation, and to that fact ; he owes his life. This reduced the crew , to eighteen, of whom not one escaped. Captain Stailing had been the Ande- lana's master but one year. He had ex- perienced the usual troubles at sea during his twenty-two years as mas- ter, becoming captain at 20 years of age, but it remained for the ballast logs of the Andelana, his empty vessel I and a heavy squall to mar his record and send him to the sailors grave. The Andelana line has become known for ill luck among shipmasters and un- j derwriters. A few years ago the An- I drina went ashore on Vancouver Island. ! Itcost $12,000 to clear her of the rocks, i Subsequently the Andera, bound from \ the sound to South Africa, was lost at \ sea. Then came the Americano, .which, being out 100 days from Hongkong to \u25a0 the sound, her owners paid 70 guineas reinsurance on her only to have her j turn.. up safe and sound. Captain Staillng's home was Annapo- lis, Nova Scotia, where his widow and three children live. He had been mas- ter of the ships Truro, ColchesteV, Sa- | vona nnd Andorhina. WHY IRELAND IS CALLED TO ROME Leo XIII Wants Some Explanation. Special Cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, IS9?, by James Gor- don Uenpett. ROME, Jan. 14.— With regard to the visit of Mgr. Ireland, which has caused so much speculation on both sides of the Atlantic, I am now in a position to give some interesting particulars. Archbishop Ireland, it appears, has at different times and occasions put him- self forward and made known to the Pope that he was on very friendly terms with President McKinleyand had considerable influence with him. The Pope, wishing above all things to preserve peace as far as he pos- sibly could, and to do everything in his power to avoid the Spanish-American war, naturally was much impressed by the ambitious and, to say the leas', too sanguine Archbishop, hence those over- tures which are now historical on th^ part of the Vatican to arrange the Cuban question on some friendly basis satisfactory to both parties. These questions of Intervention, of bringing about an armistice and other overtures gave rise to prejudice and to outspoken opposition in America to the so-called "clerical influence." Certain it is that if the Pope made any great efforts at intervention they signally failed, and it appears, and is not to be wondered at under the cir- eumstanees, that the Vatican is much displeased at having made overtures which only invited refusal on the part of the President to accept them. Archbishop Ireland is therefore sum- moned to Rome to explain his action in undertaking to guide the Vatican on what appears to have been such insuf- ficient grounds for success. . But this is not all. The question of a division between the American party, which is united to the clerical party of Canada, on one hand, and the Jesuit party on the other, will be inquired into. The American party, which ac- knowledges the leadership of Mgr. Ire- land and Cardinal Gibbons, is supposed to be in sympathy with French influ- ence, if any, while the Jesuit party is supported by German}-. Treaty With the Cherokees. ST. LOUIS. Jan. 14.—A special to the Republic from Muskogee, I. T., says: The treaty between the United States and Cherokee nations was signed by the com- mission here to-night. Sargy Sanders and John Gunter, two members of the Chero- kee committee, refused to sign the treaty. To become effective the treaty must be ratified by Congress on or before March i, In!>9, and by a majority vote of the Cherokee people. LIST OF THE DEAD. Captain G. W. Stailing, Nova Scotia.

ALONZO'S TROOPS ARE DEFEATED BY REBELS Bolivia's Revolution Spreads and Foreign Consuls Have Decided to Act as Mediators. LIMA. Peru, Jan. 14.— Reliable advices from Bolivia say that General Caceres is detained at L'yuni by order of Presi- dent Alonzo. According- to the same advices General Camacho. the head of the Federalist troops, left La Paz with 2000 men and has token up a position at Qtienoo. two leagues from La Paz, on the heights of the road to Oruro. President Alonzo's troops were out- flanked by tho Federalists and his ad- vance guard was defeated. The foreign Consuls at La Paz have de- cided to act as mediators between the Government troops and the insurgents with a view to averting bloodshed. RAIN AT STOCKTON. San Joaquin Valley Receiving An- other Mild Wetting. STOCKTON, Jan. 14.—Another welcome :rain reached this county last night, and I continued throughout the night, the pre- cipitation amounting to .34 of an inch here. The ground is now in condition to stand a long dry spell, and good crops are already assured. BALLARD,Jan. 14.—As a result of the recent storm, farming operations have been resumed throughout the Santa Ynez i Valley. Cattlemen are preparing to re- I stock the great ranges with animals that I had been driven to Northern California ; pastures, and orchard cultivation will proceed in the old-fashioned way. The San Rafael Rangp, forming- the south boundary of the Zaca Lake and Pine Mountain reserve, is now covered with snow down to the valley foothills, insur- ing good feed on the reservation and plenty of water in the valley streams. Colonization of Negroes. CHATTANOOGA, Tcnn., Jan. 14.—An application was made to-day by S. J. Hutchins, J. E. Patton and other lending colored citizens of this city for. a charter for the National American Colonization Association, the object being to organize branches in the Southern States. The association is formed with a vjew to eol- nnizing negroes in the West and s.curinir from Congress a concession to allow col- onies so formed the right of State gov- ernment and representatives in Cinq.-ess etc. The plan was originated by S j' Hutchins, a negro lawyer of this tity' Hutchins gives as a reason for his pro- posed colony "that the people of the United States should be given an oppor- tunity to see whether the negro is capable of governing and holding office." Advances made on furniture and pianos, with or without removal. J. Noonan, 1017-1023 Mission. HISTORY OF THE ANDELANA. The four-masted steel ship Andelana was built in ISB9 at Workington, Eng- land, by R. Williamson & Son. She was of 2395 tons net burden, 303.7 feet long, 42.2 feet broad and 24.6 feet deep. She was owned by the Andelana Sail- ing Ship Company (E. F. and W. Rob- erts) of Liverpool and was well known I in this port. The Andelana left Shanghai for Puget | Sound on November 11 last and while I several vessels have been wrecked and \u25a0 heavy reinsurance is being paid on others from that port, she made the run in the fast time of forty-eight daya to Port Angeles. From there she was taken to Tacoma, where she anchored on the sth inst. Captain G. W. Stall- ing, who was in command of the Ande- lana, was not known on this coast. He was a Nova Scotian and took command of the vessel last year. He leaves a widow and thre<=> children. The Andelana was last in San Fran- cisco in July, 1897. She was then in command of Captain Gillis, and on July 22 of that year sailed for Queens- town with a cargo of wheat. She was not on this coast again until she came over in ballast from Shanghai. HAWAIIAN COURT REVERSES ITSELF Chinese Petitioners Re- fused a Landing. JUDD RULING SET ASIDE ASIATICS REMANDED BACK TO THE COLLECTOR'S CUSTODY. Chief Justice Files a Dissenting Opin- ion Opposing the Stand Taken by the Majority. HONOLULU, Jan. 7.—A decision filed fey the Supreme Court yesterday in the last batch of Chinese habeas corpus cases disagrees from the former opin- ions oi" Chief Justice Judd, and reverses the situation completely. In other words, the Chinese petitioners, who claimed the right to land in Hawaii by virtue of certain permits issued to them prior to annexation, are remanded back to the custody of Collector McStocker, to be deported or disposed of as Agent Brown may elect. The opinion is by Justice Pefry, and the opinion is concurred in by Justice Whiting. Chief Justice Judd signs a dissenting view, adhering to the opin- ion put forward at the hearing decided on December 15. Judge Perry's opinion is very long and embraces a vast deal of matter. The following is declared in it: The joint resolution passed by the Con- gress of the United States on July ti, lfs'JS, relating to the annexation of the Ha- waiian Islands, provided, inter alia, that there shall be no further immigration of Chinese into the Hawaiian Islands, except upon such conditions as are now or may hereafter be allowed by the laws of the United States. Held, that by virtue of this provision the United States laws relating to the im- migration and exclusion of Chinese were extended to and put in force in the Ha- waiian Islands, and are no\y in this coun- try; and further, that Chinese, whether residing In this country or not prior to July 7, 1898, to whom permits to enter the Hawaiian Islands were issued prior to said date by the Hawaiian Government, are not excepted by the resolution from the operation of said United States laws, but are also subject to the provisions thereof. This court is not a court of the United States and has no jurisdiction, in habeas corpus proceedings or otherwise, to pass upon the validity of the appointment of a Federal officer, or the extent of his powers under Federal laws, or the legal- ity of the detention by him under such laws of persons who claim to be illegally in such custody. The opinion opens with the papers in the case, and the particulars of the view follow. Summing up, the Judge says : This statement of the law is clear and to the point. Ifin this case there is any defect in the power of the United States officer or in his mode of proceeding it is for the tribunals of the I'nited States to revise and correct it, and not for this court. That no United States court has been established here yet, and that groat Inconvenience may result from this court's holding that it has no jurisdiction, cannot of itself confer jurisdiction upon the court. The Hawaiian Government had not and has not the power to confer upon this court jurisdiction to construe or ju- dicially enforce United States laws, and the United States Government, though possessing the power to confer such jur- isdiction, has not yet done so. For such failure and the inconvenience resulting therefrom Congress alone is responsible. The American transport ship Taco- ma, C. Pederson, master, First Lieu- tenant John O'Shea, Fourth Cavalry, military commander, arrived on the sth, after a good voyage of thirteen ami a half days, from San Francisco. The Tacoma brings 111 mules and a large quantity of quartermaster and commissary stores for Honolulu /and Manila. The mules will be left here and the horses and mules brought on the previous trip will be taken on to Manila. The Tacoma will remain here for about ten days. \ The Bennington was taking on stores to-day for her long cruise by way of Wake Island and Guam to Manila. One of the most significant things that went aboard to-day was a seventy-foot cedar pole, from which the American flag will float over Wake Island. The Benning- ton sailed this afternoon. President Dole did not receive a call to Washington by the last mail. "I hardly think now that I will go," said Mr. Dole this morning, "for the reason that the committee work is fin- ished and there seems hardly any necessity for my making the long trip." DISASTER ON THE SOLANO. PORT COSTA, Jan. 14.—Two cars loaded with coal, while being switched on to the large ferry steamer Solano this morning, broke loose from the engine and crashed through the blocks on the tnd of the steamer, one car going overboard out of sight into the bay. while one-half of the Becond car dropped on to the end of the boat, another half remaining on the tracks. The coal was for the use of the Solano, being placed so that it could be unloaded into the steamer's bunkers. The hoat be- ing higher in the center where the coal j bunkers are, the cars had a good start | and could not be stopped after breaking | away. The wrecking crew was on its way to Oakland from Ingomar with the j wrecked Owl train, and being here at the time of the accident was called upon to remove the sunken car, the tide being high until this evening. It is expected the Solano can pass over the sunken car all right and transfer passenger trains without delay. . No one was injured, but two men were on the cars at the time setting the hand- brakes, and only escaped being carried along by jumping from the runaway cars. LARGEST STEAMSHIP EVER CONSTRUCTED Launching of the Oceanic, a Vessel Weigh= ing Half as Much Again as the Great Eastern. BELFAST, Jan. 14.—The White Star steamship Oceanic, the largest steamship ever built, was successfully launched at Harland & Wolf's yard to-day in the presence of an enormous crowd. A grand stand was erected to accommodate 5000 people. Among those present were the Duke and Duchess of Abercorn, Lord and Lady Dufferin, the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, the Earl of Shrewsbury, the Earl of Ava, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach and the Lord Mayor of Belfast. The Oceanic, unlike the Great Eastern, which was launched broad- sMe, was launched stern foremost, though longer and weighing half as much again as the Great Eastern. The Oceanic has a coal capacity sufficient to enable her to cir- cumnavigate the globe at a speed of 12 knots an hour without re- dialing. She is 704 feet long (24 feet longer than the Great Eastern) and has a gross tonnage of about 17,000 tons. To walk from her bow to her stern means a stroll of SOO yards. The Oceanic, though owned by a private company, has been built in accord with Admiraltyrequirements as a merchant cruiser, etc. MRS. WALTERS WILL NOT TALK Throws No Light on the Napa Tragedy. MAY SOON HAVE TO TESTIFY WILL BE A WITNESS AT THE PRELIMINARY HEARINGS. Her Knowledge of the Killing of Cook May Be Used Against Mc- Kenzie, but Not Against ; Her Husband. Sueclal Dispatch to The Call. NAPA. Jan. 14.— While little of mys- tery now attaches to the part Jesse Walters and ex-Sheriff McKenzie took in the slaying of Alfred Cook, Mrs. Walters remains the sphinx of the sit- uation. Neither friend nor foe has been able to break through her barri- cade of "I don't care to answer." "I have no statement to make at this time." "I will neither affirm nor deny anything." Among the questions which she could answer, to the advancement of justice, are: Whether she in reality sought employment for Cook with Mc- Kenzie; whether she wrote to Cook to j come to Napa; whether she had knowl- edge of the man hunt by her husband and McKenzie, with Cook as the game, ! and whether she knew what her hus- ; band's purpose was in hunting down her alleged lover. Under the protection which the laws I extend over the relations between man ;and wife, neither can be compelled to | testify against the other, nor can one testify against the other, even if will- ing to do so, if objection is made by the one on trial. So Mrs. Walters cannot be made a witness in the proceedings against her husband. In the case of McKenzie, however, the way is open to place Mrs. Walters under examination. McKenzie will be tried on the charge of murder in the first degree, as having aided and abet- ted in the killing of Cook, and, accord- ing to the Supreme Court of this State, Mrs. Walters can be used as a witness against McKenzie, even should her tes- timony inplicala her nusband. Such testimony, however, could not be used against her husband, and so far as Walters is concerned would count for nothing against him. It is the expressed purpose of District Attorney Bell to place Mrs. Walters on the stand, as he is particularly anxious to clear several matters which he has not yet made public. Among the effects of Cook now in possession of the Sheriff are a number of letters, one presumed to have been written to him by Mrs. Walters, in- forming him of the situation open for him in the stable of McKenzie. The point which the prosecution de- sires to establish is the genuineness of this letter. It would cause no surprise lif it proved to be a forgery. But should I it be acknowledged by Mrs. Walters the ; prosecution willseek to learn whether it was written in good faith by Mrs. Wal- I ters, or whether she was deceived or I possibly coerced into writing it. Another damaging bit of evidence ! that will be produced later is that Cook was known to have possessed a 38- --caliber revolver, but not a 32-caliber, ! such as was found in the box-stall. i The preliminary hearings will have !much of fresh interest besides these matters, as the prosecution has con- siderable evidence that it deemed un- advisable or unnecessary to -roduce be- fore the coroner's inquest. ' SEEKERS OF GOLD SLAIN BY INDIANS Crimes Charged to Por- cupine Creek Reds. MURDER LONE PROSPECTORS MINERS HALTED AND BOBBED OF THEIR SUPPLIES. The Trib? Has a Grudge Against the Whites Because Some of Its Braves Were Shot for Stealing. < Special Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA. Jan. 14.— After a terribly rough pat-sage from Lynn Canal the steamer Amur arrived this morning with a number of late comers from Dawson and tht trails. Those from Skaguay bring n-^ws that the Indians in the neighborhood of Porcupine Creek are very aggressive and are reported to have murdered a number of lone prospectors. A. J. Plantag, a recent arrival at Skaguay from the new American gold fields, says in the Skaguay Alaskan that the . Siwashes there are very insolent, and whenever they catch a prospector alone they make him "divvy" on "grub" and other supplies, and if he objects they take what they want through force of num- bers. He tells of two men who had pro- ceeded up the Alsek River on a pros- pecting tour having been robbed by a band of about twenty young bucks. The prospectors camped one night <>n the river bank, some thirty miles above Haines Mission. No gign of Indiana was apparent, but suddenly from the surrounding brush there appeared a gang of Siwashes, who immediately proceeded to overhaul the pair's ef- fects and demanded to be given some of them. To pacify the horde a great amount of supplies was yielded up. The Indians then went away. The balance of the prospectors' sup- plies was taken far up a gulch and hid- den, because they expected the raid would be repeated. After a two days' stop In their camp they wont up the gulch to get their hidden supplies, in- tending to proceed up the river. But Indians had stolen everything. There was nothing to do but turn about and make for a base of supplies. It is said that the mysterious disap- pearance of many prospectors going into that country is laid at the door of these Indians. Mr. Plantag says that many have been murdered in the wilds of that land. The tribe dwelling there is the most insolent of all In- dians of the far north and claim to have a grievance against th" white man because some years ago "Jack" Dalton taught them a lesson in honesty. He is said to have shot some who were stealing from a cache. Since then they let his stuff alone. However, they have taken several shots at him and declare they will make him bite the dust. In the meantime, Indian fashion, they seek vengeance on any unprotected prospector who ventures into that sec* tion. Victim of the Jewel Wreck. CAHTO, Jan. 14.— William Home, second engineer of the steamer Jewel, wrecked and lost at Caspar yesterday, died of his injuries to-day. He was unmarried and had no relatives in the I'nited S1 He was a native of Canada, about 40 years of age. The burial will take placp at Caspar to-morrow under the direction of the Marine Engineers. 10 THE SAX FRANCISCO CALL, SITS DAY, JANUARY 15, 1899.

CAPTAIN STAILINGAND SEVENTEEN

MEN DROWNED

Vessel Goes Down at Night Duringa Squall and Is Not Missed

Until Morning.

rACOMA, Jan. 14.—Captain Stall- 1 1ing and seventeen men were Idrowned by the sinking of the IBritish ship Andelana during a .

heavy wind storm early this morning, j'The gale which blew her over was one |of the most severe experienced here in

'.years. It blew at the rate of thirty- |

eight miles an hour. The Andelana iwas capsized almost instantly and be- jlfore her officers and crew knew that .they were in peril.

Yesterday noon a gale sprang up, |which soon reached thirty miles an |hour. Itgradually subsided until night- j|fall or the Andelana probably would Ihave pulled into a dock. As it was, jIshe remained at anchor in the stream, I.being pit-vented tipping over only byheavy log buoys moored on either side i

of her. This was really a dangerous iposition during windy weather, for all 1of her ballast had been discharged and !she had taken no stiffening aboard.

There is no doubt that when the ter- ,rible gale sprang up last night she j \u25a0

partly turned over. This lifted her !]

starboard ballast log out of the water j:and itt- weight caused a defective link ;

to break. Thus released from the log, |'

the ship turned suddenly on her beamends, and in another instant the waterwas pouring down her hatchways, j'These were but loosely covered and af- ;forded no protection. With her toppling jmasts and towering side to give thegale full swing, the- Andelana went overas though she were a racing shell.

How the seamen struggled to escapecan be imagined, but without doubtthey had scarcely leaped from theirbunks into the inflowing waters before jtheir vessel had struck bottom, twenty- ithree and a half fathoms below the sur-face. This is indicated by the fact thatthe vessel did not drift from her moor-ing place, but sank almost at the spotwhere she was moored last night.

With daylight this morning tho Ande- \u25a0

lana was missed. Where sin; had beenriding, apparently secure, at dusk lastnight there- Bbxrwed but a blank stretchof waters. Captain Doty of tho shipWalter EL Wilson was probably thefirst i"discover the Andelana'a disap-

'.pearance. Hurriedly calling hit; gig l

:crew he was rowed to the tug Fair- ifield,' lying at the Eureka dock. The |tug was sent across the Andelana's janchorage. Not a trace of the missing !

.'ship was to be found. The Fairfield jthen crossed tt? tho eastern :-ide of the

.' bay. Here the Andelana's fate was jmadf evident.

Swamped and with battered gunwaleone of the ship's lifeboats tossed againstthe gravelly beach. Further on wasfound a ballast log, with a broken chain Iattached. Then were discovered wooden jshovels such as had been used on theAndelana. The last piece of wreckagefound was a mattress marked with theship's name.

I'lland down the beach Captain Dotyand Captain Hurley of the tug tramped,but not another vestige of wreckage i

• from the ship was to be found.• \u25a0 It was scarcely believed along thewater front that the ship could have. sunk without some one escaping orwithout being heard by watchmenaboard vessels at the St. Paul and Ta-. coma Lumber Company's wharf, lessthan half a mile away. To make cer-tain of her fate, it was decided to sendthe tug Fairfield out with grappling

•irons to locate the wreck. At 5 o'clock Ithis afternoon a steam launch caughtwith grappling irons what seemed tobe a piece of cable. Still later the tug

Fairchild caught hold of some solidsubstance.

This was the best that could be ac-complished with grappling irons at adepth of 141 feet, and is consideredcomplete evidence that the ship is lyingunderneath where she was last seenanchored. This depth is too great topermit divers to work with ease. Noattempt has been made to engagedivers pending the receipt of instruc-

tions from shipowners or underwriters. IShipping men believe the vessel can be jraised with air bags or by sinking air- |tight scows and connecting them with|cables which shall pass beneath thewreck. The water would then be jpumped out of the scows, causing them |to raise.

The bodies cannot be recovered unless Ithe vessel be raised. Itis believed they |would be recognizable should the ves-sel be raised several months hence,since tho ice cold water at the bottom jof the Sound will tend to preservethem.

The Andelana was to have loadedwheat here next week for Queenstown.Her coming voyage would have com- ;

pleted her trip around the world. She ;left London about a year ago for NewYork, whence she sailed in May forShanghai with coal oil. She reached i

there on October 19, and arrived toPort Angeles seventeen days ago. At jthat time she was erroneously reported jas being the overdue bark Caradoc. iEppinger & Co. subsequently chartered'her and she reached here this week.

To be absolutely on the safe side. [Captain Stalling should have taken jsome wheat aboard as stiffening be-fore discharging all his ballast. Wheat !vessels loading here and at Portland.however, have been in the habit of re- |lying only upon the less expensive log i

system of ballast during the interim be- jtween discharging ballast and loading, j

Capt. Stailing expected to be towed to jhis loading berth to-day. Possibly he had jsome apprehension of danger by wind, ;for last evening he declined an invita- |tion to dine and spend the night ashore,saying his place was aboard his ship.

Twelve men left the ship on Wednes- jday. The next day ten of them shipped Ion the ship Dirigo for Queensto-wn. jApprentice Buck was sent to the hos- jpital for an operation, and to that fact ;he owes his life. This reduced the crew ,to eighteen, of whom not one escaped.

Captain Stailing had been the Ande-lana's master but one year. He had ex-perienced the usual troubles at seaduring his twenty-two years as mas-ter, becoming captain at 20 years ofage, but it remained for the ballastlogs of the Andelana, his empty vessel Iand a heavy squall to mar his recordand send him to the sailors grave.

The Andelana line has become knownfor illluck among shipmasters and un- jderwriters. A few years ago the An- Idrina went ashore on Vancouver Island. !

Itcost $12,000 to clear her of the rocks, i

Subsequently the Andera, bound from \

the sound to South Africa, was lost at \sea. Then came the Americano, .which,being out 100 days from Hongkong to \u25a0

the sound, her owners paid 70 guineas

reinsurance on her only to have her jturn..up safe and sound.

Captain Staillng's home was Annapo-lis, Nova Scotia, where his widow andthree children live. He had been mas-ter of the ships Truro, ColchesteV, Sa- |vona nnd Andorhina.

WHYIRELAND ISCALLED TO ROME

Leo XIII Wants SomeExplanation.

Special Cable to The Call and the New YorkHerald. Copyrighted, IS9?, by James Gor-don Uenpett.

ROME, Jan. 14.— With regard to thevisit of Mgr. Ireland, which has causedso much speculation on both sides ofthe Atlantic,Iam now in a position togive some interesting particulars.

Archbishop Ireland, it appears, has atdifferent times and occasions put him-self forward and made known to thePope that he was on very friendly

terms with President McKinleyand hadconsiderable influence with him.

The Pope, wishing above all thingsto preserve peace as far as he pos-sibly could, and to do everything in hispower to avoid the Spanish-Americanwar, naturally was much impressed bythe ambitious and, to say the leas', toosanguine Archbishop, hence those over-tures which are now historical on th^part of the Vatican to arrange theCuban question on some friendly basissatisfactory to both parties.

These questions of Intervention, ofbringing about an armistice and otherovertures gave rise to prejudice and tooutspoken opposition in America to theso-called "clerical influence."

Certain it is that if the Pope madeany great efforts at intervention theysignally failed, and it appears, and isnot to be wondered at under the cir-eumstanees, that the Vatican is muchdispleased at having made overtureswhich only invited refusal on the partof the President to accept them.

Archbishop Ireland is therefore sum-moned to Rome to explain his action inundertaking to guide the Vatican onwhat appears to have been such insuf-ficient grounds for success. .

But this is not all. The question ofa division between the American party,which is united to the clerical party ofCanada, on one hand, and the Jesuitparty on the other, will be inquiredinto. The American party, which ac-knowledges the leadership of Mgr. Ire-land and Cardinal Gibbons, is supposed

to be in sympathy with French influ-ence, if any, while the Jesuit party issupported by German}-.

HISTORY OF THE ANDELANA.

The four-masted steel ship Andelana

was built in ISB9 at Workington, Eng-land, by R. Williamson & Son. Shewas of 2395 tons net burden, 303.7 feetlong, 42.2 feet broad and 24.6 feet deep.

She was owned by the Andelana Sail-ing Ship Company (E. F. and W. Rob-erts) of Liverpool and was well known

Iin this port.The Andelana left Shanghai for Puget

|Sound on November 11 last and whileIseveral vessels have been wrecked and

\u25a0 heavy reinsurance is being paid onothers from that port, she made therun in the fast time of forty-eight dayato Port Angeles. From there she wastaken to Tacoma, where she anchoredon the sth inst. Captain G. W. Stall-ing, who was in command of the Ande-lana, was not known on this coast. Hewas a Nova Scotian and took commandof the vessel last year. He leaves awidow and thre<=> children.

The Andelana was last in San Fran-cisco in July, 1897. She was then in

command of Captain Gillis, and onJuly 22 of that year sailed for Queens-town with a cargo of wheat. She wasnot on this coast again until she cameover in ballast from Shanghai.

HAWAIIAN COURTREVERSES ITSELF

Chinese Petitioners Re-fused a Landing.

JUDD RULING SET ASIDE

ASIATICS REMANDED BACK TOTHE COLLECTOR'S CUSTODY.

Chief Justice Files a Dissenting Opin-ion Opposing the Stand

Taken by theMajority.

HONOLULU, Jan. 7.—A decision filedfey the Supreme Court yesterday in thelast batch of Chinese habeas corpuscases disagrees from the former opin-ions oi" Chief Justice Judd, and reversesthe situation completely. In otherwords, the Chinese petitioners, whoclaimed the right to land in Hawaii by

virtue of certain permits issued to themprior to annexation, are remanded backto the custody of Collector McStocker,to be deported or disposed of as Agent

Brown may elect.The opinion is by Justice Pefry, and

the opinion is concurred in by JusticeWhiting. Chief Justice Judd signs adissenting view, adhering to the opin-

ion put forward at the hearing decidedon December 15. Judge Perry's opinionis very long and embraces a vast dealof matter. The following is declaredin it:

The joint resolution passed by the Con-gress of the United States on July ti, lfs'JS,relating to the annexation of the Ha-waiian Islands, provided, inter alia, thatthere shall be no further immigration ofChinese into the Hawaiian Islands, exceptupon such conditions as are now or mayhereafter be allowed by the laws of theUnited States.

Held, that by virtue of this provisionthe United States laws relating to the im-migration and exclusion of Chinese wereextended to and put in force in the Ha-waiian Islands, and are no\y in this coun-try; and further, that Chinese, whetherresiding In this country or not prior toJuly 7, 1898, to whom permits to enter theHawaiian Islands were issued prior tosaid date by the Hawaiian Government,are not excepted by the resolution fromthe operation of said United States laws,but are also subject to the provisionsthereof.

This court is not a court of the UnitedStates and has no jurisdiction, in habeascorpus proceedings or otherwise, to passupon the validity of the appointment ofa Federal officer, or the extent of hispowers under Federal laws, or the legal-ity of the detention by him under suchlaws of persons who claim to be illegallyin such custody.

The opinion opens with the papers inthe case, and the particulars of theview follow. Summing up, the Judgesays :

This statement of the law is clear andto the point. Ifin this case there is anydefect in the power of the United Statesofficer or in his mode of proceeding it isfor the tribunals of the I'nited States torevise and correct it, and not for thiscourt. That no United States court hasbeen established here yet, and that groatInconvenience may result from this court'sholding that it has no jurisdiction, cannotof itself confer jurisdiction upon thecourt. The Hawaiian Government hadnot and has not the power to confer uponthis court jurisdiction to construe or ju-dicially enforce United States laws, andthe United States Government, thoughpossessing the power to confer such jur-isdiction, has not yet done so. For suchfailure and the inconvenience resultingtherefrom Congress alone is responsible.

The American transport ship Taco-ma, C. Pederson, master, First Lieu-tenant John O'Shea, Fourth Cavalry,military commander, arrived on thesth, after a good voyage of thirteenami a half days, from San Francisco.The Tacoma brings 111 mules and alarge quantity of quartermaster andcommissary stores for Honolulu /andManila. The mules willbe lefthere andthe horses and mules brought on theprevious trip will be taken on toManila. The Tacoma will remain herefor about ten days. \

The Bennington was taking on storesto-day for her long cruise by way ofWake Island and Guam to Manila. Oneof the most significant things that wentaboard to-day was a seventy-foot cedarpole, from which the American flag willfloat over Wake Island. The Benning-ton sailed this afternoon.

President Dole did not receive a callto Washington by the last mail."Ihardly think now that Iwill go,"

said Mr. Dole this morning, "for thereason that the committee work is fin-ished and there seems hardly anynecessity for my making the long trip."

DISASTER ON THE SOLANO.

PORT COSTA, Jan. 14.—Two cars loadedwith coal, while being switched on to thelarge ferry steamer Solano this morning,broke loose from the engine and crashedthrough the blocks on the tnd of thesteamer, one car going overboard out ofsight into the bay. while one-half of theBecond car dropped on to the end of theboat, another half remaining on thetracks.

The coal was for the use of the Solano,being placed so that it could be unloadedinto the steamer's bunkers. The hoat be-ing higher in the center where the coal jbunkers are, the cars had a good start |and could not be stopped after breaking |away. The wrecking crew was on itsway to Oakland from Ingomar with the jwrecked Owl train, and being here at thetime of the accident was called upon toremove the sunken car, the tide beinghigh until this evening. It is expectedthe Solano can pass over the sunken carall right and transfer passenger trainswithout delay. .

No one was injured, but two men wereon the cars at the time setting the hand-brakes, and only escaped being carriedalong by jumping from the runawaycars.

LARGEST STEAMSHIPEVER CONSTRUCTED

Launching of the Oceanic, a Vessel Weigh=ing Half as Much Again as the

Great Eastern.BELFAST, Jan. 14.—The White Star steamship Oceanic, the largest

steamship ever built, was successfully launched at Harland & Wolf'syard to-day in the presence of an enormous crowd.

A grand stand was erected to accommodate 5000 people. Amongthose present were the Duke and Duchess of Abercorn, Lord and LadyDufferin, the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, the Earl ofShrewsbury, the Earl of Ava, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Sir MichaelHicks-Beach and the Lord Mayor of Belfast.

The Oceanic, unlike the Great Eastern, which was launched broad-sMe, was launched stern foremost, though longer and weighing half asmuch again as the Great Eastern.

The Oceanic has a coal capacity sufficient to enable her to cir-cumnavigate the globe at a speed of 12 knots an hour without re-dialing.

She is 704 feet long (24 feet longer than the Great Eastern) andhas a gross tonnage of about 17,000 tons. To walk from her bow to

her stern means a stroll of SOO yards.

The Oceanic, though owned by a private company, has been builtin accord with Admiraltyrequirements as a merchant cruiser, etc.

MRS. WALTERSWILL NOT TALK

Throws No Light on theNapa Tragedy.

MAY SOON HAVE TO TESTIFY

WILL BE A WITNESS AT THEPRELIMINARYHEARINGS.

Her Knowledge of the Killing ofCook May Be Used Against Mc-

Kenzie, but Not Against; Her Husband.

Sueclal Dispatch to The Call.

NAPA. Jan. 14.— While little of mys-tery now attaches to the part JesseWalters and ex-Sheriff McKenzie tookin the slaying of Alfred Cook, Mrs.Walters remains the sphinx of the sit-uation. Neither friend nor foe hasbeen able to break through her barri-cade of "Idon't care to answer." "Ihave no statement to make at thistime." "Iwillneither affirm nor denyanything."

Among the questions which she couldanswer, to the advancement of justice,

are: Whether she in reality soughtemployment for Cook with Mc-Kenzie; whether she wrote to Cook to

jcome to Napa; whether she had knowl-edge of the man hunt by her husbandand McKenzie, with Cook as the game,

!and whether she knew what her hus-;band's purpose was in hunting downher alleged lover.

Under the protection which the laws

Iextend over the relations between man;and wife, neither can be compelled to| testify against the other, nor can onetestify against the other, even if will-ing to do so, ifobjection is made by theone on trial. So Mrs. Walters cannotbe made a witness in the proceedingsagainst her husband.

In the case of McKenzie, however,the way is open to place Mrs. Waltersunder examination. McKenzie will betried on the charge of murder in thefirst degree, as having aided and abet-ted in the killingof Cook, and, accord-ing to the Supreme Court of this State,Mrs. Walters can be used as a witnessagainst McKenzie, even should her tes-timony inplicala her nusband. Suchtestimony, however, could not be usedagainst her husband, and so far asWalters is concerned would count fornothing against him.Itis the expressed purpose of District

Attorney Bell to place Mrs. Walters onthe stand, as he is particularly anxiousto clear several matters which he hasnot yet made public.

Among the effects of Cook now inpossession of the Sheriff are a numberof letters, one presumed to have beenwritten to him by Mrs. Walters, in-forming him of the situation open forhim in the stable of McKenzie.

The point which the prosecution de-sires to establish is the genuineness ofthis letter. It would cause no surprise

lifit proved to be a forgery. But shouldIit be acknowledged by Mrs. Walters the;prosecution willseek to learn whether it

was written in good faith by Mrs. Wal-I ters, or whether she was deceived orIpossibly coerced into writing it.

Another damaging bit of evidence!that willbe produced later is that Cook

was known to have possessed a 38---caliber revolver, but not a 32-caliber,

!such as was found in the box-stall.i The preliminary hearings will have!much of fresh interest besides these

matters, as the prosecution has con-siderable evidence that it deemed un-advisable or unnecessary to -roduce be-fore the coroner's inquest.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

VICTORIA. Jan. 14.— After a terriblyrough pat-sage from Lynn Canal thesteamer Amur arrived this morning

with a number of late comers from

Dawson and tht trails. Those fromSkaguay bring n-^ws that the Indiansin the neighborhood of Porcupine Creekare very aggressive and are reportedto have murdered a number of loneprospectors. A. J. Plantag, a recent

arrival at Skaguay from the newAmerican gold fields, says in theSkaguay Alaskan that the . Siwashesthere are very insolent, and wheneverthey catch a prospector alone they

make him "divvy"on "grub" and othersupplies, and if he objects they takewhat they want through force of num-bers.

He tells of two men who had pro-ceeded up the Alsek River on a pros-pecting tour having been robbed by aband of about twenty young bucks.The prospectors camped one night <>nthe river bank, some thirty miles aboveHaines Mission. No gign of Indianawas apparent, but suddenly from thesurrounding brush there appeared agang of Siwashes, who immediatelyproceeded to overhaul the pair's ef-fects and demanded to be given someof them. To pacify the horde a greatamount of supplies was yielded up. TheIndians then went away.

The balance of the prospectors' sup-plies was taken far up a gulch and hid-den, because they expected the raidwould be repeated. After a two days'stop In their camp they wont up thegulch to get their hidden supplies, in-tending to proceed up the river. ButIndians had stolen everything. Therewas nothing to do but turn about andmake for a base of supplies.

Itis said that the mysterious disap-pearance of many prospectors goinginto that country is laid at the doorof these Indians. Mr. Plantag saysthat many have been murdered in thewilds of that land. The tribe dwellingthere is the most insolent of all In-dians of the far north and claim tohave a grievance against th" white manbecause some years ago "Jack" Daltontaught them a lesson in honesty. Heis said to have shot some who werestealing from a cache. Since then theylet his stuff alone. However, they havetaken several shots at him and declarethey willmake him bite the dust.

In the meantime, Indian fashion, theyseek vengeance on any unprotectedprospector who ventures into that sec*

tion.
