The Topeka arrived here this morning at one' thirty. Of the twenty-three survivors, on board, seven teen were picked up on a raft Wednesday afternoon, and the other six escaped in a life boat and were picked up by a steamer yesterday and transfered to the City of Topeka. Seven of the survivor were taken to the Rainier .hotel and the others scattered out among the other hotels of the c ty.. When the.Topeka left the scene of the wreck yesterday afternoon nothing could be seen of the Valencia and it was evident to those who were watching from the seaward side that the stranded liner had given up the figiit and had gone down to a tragic end yesterday. The City of Topeka cruised around the straits looking for the other life raft which had been re ported as having left the wreck about the same timeth) raft with the eighteen men d'd , which was picked up, but nothing ojIJ be found. No stretch of ocean wai ever more carefully searched for a sign of life than the sea about the mouth of the" straits. ,' .

They brand the . asser tion, that because of the fact that m women or children were saved, that the were left to their fate by Wis men, ai false. The women and children were no on the life boat because they did no' want to go. They were asked severs times by Capt Johnson if they wer willing to take the chances,, but as i seemed to mean certain death to go upoi the raft they preferred to stay with thi doomed ship. ' At last the captain issuei the word for the men to jump upon th raft and they did so.

This is not considered a fair prorortion nd it has baen maintained that with the increase of the navy and the larger vol jme of work wiichmuttbe performed at naval stations there th uld be a more id equate provi.ifl,J(jr tne improvements or the yards and ships and . a betterment jf the working facilities. The chief of t ie Bureau of Yards and Docks has been oefore tie House Nival con nittaoiee. a times and has urged the clai-ns of his de partment. It was evident, however, that the committee was disposed to reduce at every turn the bureau estimates for yard improvements andj t will not be surprising to the Navy department authorities if they find their recommendations materially reduced. .
