(United Press Leased Wire.)
San Francisco, Oct. 21. A report reached the city this after
noon that the British tramp iteamer Queen Christina, bound from
San Francisco for Portland, had gone ashore at Point St. George,
near Crescent City, California. The vessel is said to be a total loss.
The report gives no information regarding the fate of the crew.
The Queen Christina left this port on Saturday.
Penso fogs are supposed to have sent
the Queen Christina to her (loom, be

coast ports during the past few days

everything front view, and left .the ves

Not closely acquainted with the dan
gers of the northern California coast,
Captain Harris is supposed to huve
stood too close in and allowed his ves
sel to pound upon the sharp cliffs that
parallel the precipitous shore, for miles
and miles.
Once upon these rocks, there is little
chance of salvage because as a rule
the seis will break up the strongest
craft ilmost before assistance can be
ient from near by ports. Even with
the ocean perfectly calm the breakers

The Queen Christina was ciinrtered
about 10 days ago h- A. Hers of this
city to carry a full cargo of wheat from
here to Europe. Report of her having
left Pan Francisco for Portland was
received here this morning and at noon
the report of her going ashore followed.
Eh was expected to arrive hro tomor
row or Wednesday at tho latest, after
having passed In at the mouth of tho
river. Preparations to load hor were
already under way at on? of the eai
aide wharves, where the cargo tins been
storel for several weeks.
The Queen Christina wns ne of the
larger tramp steamers In the Pacific
ocean trade, her net rrgister being 1,804
tons, which means that she would have
carried away about 7.000 tons of wheat.
Bhe came to San Francisco October S

possible because of the crowded condi

heavy demand for tonnage.
The Queen Christina was practically
a new vessel, built at Port Glasgow in
1901. She js owned by the Dunlop
Pteamshlp company, limited, and was
of the following dimensions: Length,
860 feet; beam, 4S feet; depth of hold,
20.1 feet.

ITALIAN CONSUL
WILL USE FORCE

Unless Martin Is Released

Apparently there Is material for an
international controversy over Domln
lck Martin, an Italian who is said to
be mildly Insane and is being treated
at' the Mount Tabor Nervous Sanitar
ium. C. F. Candlanl. the Italian vice
consul, declares" that Martin will be
taken by force If he is not given up In

the representative of the Italian gov-
erntr,. i.t
Beivre trying force. however. Candl
anl will try the courts. Judge Clelahd
in the circuit court has granted a writ
of habeas corpus on application of Can
dlanl and the hearing has been Bet lor
tomorrow afternoon.- It is stated that
Antonio Martin, a brother of the insane
man, has the money to send his brother
to Italy, the purpose of the writ being
to place him in the custody ;of ' the
brother for that purpose. .
Mr Candlanl today declared that's!
Martin is an Italian : eitlien, ja not
charged wtta trims and Is only mildly
Insane, the American authorities have
no right to restrain him.
"They Have no right to hold this
rrtan," said Candlanl, "and unless they
release him I shall take him by force.
The people of the sanitarium tola me
that the man was committed to the
asylum from Fairbanks. Aluska. There
are no asylums for the insane in Alaska
and he .was sent here. His folks in
Italy want to take care of him, and I
cannot see by what right tho sanitarium
refuses to let him go. They said thev
were responsible to the autnorities of
Alaska for this man, and will not re
lease him unless they are given an in
demnity bond to nrotect theon from ac
tion by the Alaskan authorities. But
they have no right to hold this man at
all."
