It now seems Inevitable that the Manchuria will re main on the rocks which hold her in s vise-like grip until the high seas or the first breath ofstorm pound her to pieces. The company has practi cally abandoned ho;e of floating the huge craft, though the vessel will be stripped of- everything that can be removed before she is given over to the waves. The disaster merely ful fills predictions that have been made here for many years In the effort to secure Government appropriations for a lighthouse. The Pacific Mall Company, through Its attorney, has announced that It will assume all responsibility for the landing of the through passengers at this point. The company is now making every effort to get the bag gage ashore and will allow each pas senger while stranded here an ex pense rate of $3.50 per day, and will arrange for them the earliest trans portation to the, Orient. All book ings on the Korea leaving San Fran cisco on September 4 have been stopped in order to provide room for the passengers of the Manchuria now In this city. The Rev. W. H. Day of Los Ange les presided over a meeting of the passengers today at which 100 were present, and a committee was ap pointed to settle who should gel berths on the Hongkong Toyo Risen, Oriental liner due here for the Ori ent on August 30, and who are tn await the Korea, and also to frame resolutions of appreciation for tin courtesies extended by the insular authorities here. It was decided that Governor Smith of the Philippines -should , take tht first steamer to sail for the Orient, and that the others should be select ed according to the urgency of their Journeys. Complete harmony pre vailed, and those present manifested satisfaction at the treatment they had received from the company. The forecasts regarding the re floating of the Manchuria are gloom ier, and her officers have packed up their belongings. The sea is runnini high at the scene of the wreck.
