MANCHURIA ASH
Big Trans-Pacific 'Liner on Sand
wich Island Reef.
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.

Chinese Gin Signs. An unusual sight
was witnessed on Commercial street
in this city on Sunday morning last,
when two Chinks wheeled out of China
town onto the principle thoroughfare,
"drunk as lords" on, presumably,
Chinese gin. They were just as silly
as any white men ever get to be, and
the rarity of the sight attracted uni
versal attention. They hugged and kiss
ed, and slobbered and hollered and
stumbled around with all the abandon
and uproar usually indulged in by the
Caucasian, and finally disappeared in
the swinging doors of a waterfront sa
loon, where they are supposed to have
taken on the final and subduing pota
tions with which all such orgies are
wound out.
Forging Straight Ahead. The Calen
der steamer Wenona returned from
