Eleven lives are believed, here to have
been lost by the sinking of the' Mexi
can steamer Victoria from Ensenadn.
which is thought to have gone down
off Coronado island during the night.
This report was brought here by A.
T. Tonescl, purser of the Victoria, who
arrived here with the ship's passen
gers at noon today on the American
Hawaiian steamer American.
Those believed to have gone down on
the steamer are: i
Joae IJrruch, captain; JesuS Wilson,
mate; Arturo Ilernandes and 'Luciano
Rubalcaba. quartermasters, and FranK
Otto, steward; Manuel Oxono,-chief en
gineer; Manuel Vlga, assistant engi

Seaman; Manuel Its nil rex and Cook
Juan Aldamlx. Other names are not'
known, t - m
Tonescl' said the entire ship's com
pany of the Victoria could have been
saved, but that 11 of them preferred
to remain aboard aiid brave the raging
seas when help reached them." The ves
sel was last seen just before dark last
night. . When dawn broke over' the
stormy sea the Victoria . had disap
peared and there la little doubt she
went down in the darkness with all on
board. . v;.
It was lust "before dark last night
when a lifeboat f rom i the steamer
American came alougslile.' i It had; ca
pacity for all, and the boat ciUnln of
fered to stand by until all were aboard.
Those who remained abjoard did . so by
preference, in the hope.
of saving the
ship.
