TUGS UNABLE TO MOVE HER Immense Ship Hard and Fist on Reef Cabin Passengers Go Ashore Ship Pounding Heavily Offi ceri Still Aboard, HOXOI.l'LU. August 20,-lt Is the general impression this evening that the l'aeitle Mail liner Manchuria, which run on a reef off Rabbit Island before day light this morning, is hopelessly aground and may be a total loss. While it was first thought the steamer would be floated without much difficulty, all efforts have so far been In vain and 't seems to b the general Impression at this time that if the ship U saved, it will be effected only by elaborate engi neering operations, possibly requiring weeks. She is far Inside the reef now, and pounding quite heavily. The vessel is standing high ont of the water end forms a picturesque spectacle and the rrowds are hastening here from over the mountains to see the ship. The steam er is now seven fathoms further in land than when she struck. The tug Fearless, the revenue cutter Manning and the steamers Kinau and Maui, have lines almard, ami are tugging at her stern, but are not moving the ship, though they are holding her from going further on the reef. The cabin passen gers have been landed, but it will le impossible to get them all here tonight. The binding was effected without much trouble, except for a slight panis among the Asiatics, who made a rush for the boats, but were toon quieted, Governor-General Smith of the Phil ippines, was among the last to leave the steamer. Officers of the ship remained aboard. ASTORIA COLLECTOR NAMED. WASHINGTON. D. C, August 20. Clark W.
