IRON VESSEL ITO OGEl STEALER Ocean Liner Walla Walla Goes Down in the Pacific During a Fog-'-Twenty Supposed to Have Drowned. Eurefca, Cal . , Jan . 3 -The steamer Walla Walla was sunk early thie morn ing as the result of a collision with an unknown Iron sailing vessel. The news of the disaster was -brought to Trini dad by a boat from the foundered ves sel and later the, steamer Pespatch ar rived with 60 of the crew and passen gers of the wrecked vessel. The collision occurred at 4 o'clock in the morning when all the passengers were asleep. Some escaped in small boats and rafts. They were unable to land, owing to. the character of the coast and drifted --about all day yes terday when they were picked up by the steamer Despatch. Particulars , of the disaster are hard to obtain. Boats and life rafts were launched immediately and under the direction of Captain Hall and the crew most of the passengers -were placed safely on rafts and in boats, but it is believed the loss of -Hie will be consid erable. The Walla Walla carried 36 first class passengers, 28 second class and a crew of 60 men. She was one of the Kbest known vessels on the coast and was owned by the Pacific Coast Steam- ship company, and plied between P"uget sound and San Francisco for years. ' News of the disaster was brought to Trinidad, about thirty miles north of this place, by a iboat from the unfor tunate steamer which, -when it left the scene of the disaster contained thir teen persons, , but when it arrived at Trinidad contained but seven alive. Later the steamer Dispatch arrived with sixty of the passengers and crew on board, including , Captain Hall. The collision occurred twenty miles south of Mendocino buoy. The Walla Walla was struck in the foow by an unknown French bark. At the time of the collision the second officer was on tlie bridge.

The weather was clear. the sea was rolling high. The passen gers all rushed out of their staterooms. Capt. Hall went down into the steerage and found a family of seven fastened In a room.. Two girls, of 12 and 14 years. were fastened between ' timber. The girls were released and the family as sisted out of their berths. All prepared to leave the vessel. The captain said she would sink. Life boats and rafts were lowered to the boats. The vessel did not sink until 4:45, giving the crew and naseeneera thirty-five minutes to leave the steamer. S,ixty-three were lowered, the life-saving boats thenbe ing filled. The excitement grew intense' among the remaining passengers. Men and boys ' hurriedly jumped off the steamer. Several did not leave until she started to sink. The officers were cool and collected, doing everything possible to save the passengers. No one knows the cause of the collision but the sec ond officer, and he is missing. As soon as the large French, vessel penetrated the steamer's bow she withdrew, leav ing the passengers at the mercy of the high sea and lending no assistance whatever." Tonight It is believed twenty persons lost their lives in the sinking steam ship. rOne life raft and three boats are unaccounted for and they may con tain "some of the "-missing. One boat reached Trinidad and reported six drowned by the swamping of a boat. Captain Hall describing the disaster said he was awakened by a crash on the port side.

THE UNITED STATES TO CONTROL CANAL STRIP Washington, Jan. 3. Some of the main" features of the protocol between the 'United States and Nicaragua re f erred ?to in President Seelaya's mes sage to congress, has been raade ko.'-' in recent messaees from Mana gua. But there are many other impor tant features which are as yet not dis closed, one of these being complete American jurisdiction and establish ment of American courts, civil and criminal, through a zone six miles wide and extending from ocean to ocean and including the proposed termini, Greytown, on the Atlantic and Briton on the Pacific. The entire policing of this large tract Is also placed in the hands of the United States 60 . it has the power to preserve order and after that to issue judicial process extend ing throughout this zone. Besides the authority of the Ameri can courts and American police on the six mile zone, the chief features of .the protocol are in giving a lease in perpe tuity of this tract to the United States and at the same time giving an Amer ican guarantee that the Independence, sovereignty and integrity of Nicaragua will not be. disturbed Jby the rights thus conferred upon the United States. No exact information is obtainable as to the price specified In the protocol as a payment to Nicaragua for the gran t to this country:. It cajt bated posraveryv noweveri- matini .price is much less than was 'expected when the negotiations began and that it is con sidered by officials as reasonable. It Is understood that at the outset the view In Nicaragua was that $20,000, 00d would be the proper figure for the grant to this country and about $5,000,000 for the costs of the grant. While there is no information as to the final sum in the protocol, it is known to be far short of the above fig ure. As the cession takes the form of a perpetual lease, it is probable the protocol includes a feature of annual rent as part payment. LONDON PAPER URGES GERMANY TO ADVANCE London', Jan. 3.
