Hi!
Beport Shows That Number Were
Drowned in Islander Wreck.
108 PASSENGERS WERE ON BOARD
"any Returning From the Klondike
"v Gold'To Save Their
Lives heron, captain Foote Stayed
On Beard Until the Last.
Port Townsrnl Wash., Aug. 20. It
is now known that 07 lives were lost
as the result of the apalling disaster
to th sttamer Islander which struck
a Oostlflg Iceberg off Douglass Island
at 'i a. m. on August 15. The ship
went to the bottom in 20 minutes, car
rj'lm' neti. women and children to
wat graves. H will be some time
befo. 'u names of the greater part
of the .tims ran be obtained.
The Islander luul lOS passengers, and
all were in bed when the veset struck
The shock was so severe that many
wen- thrown from their berths and the
wildest excitement prevailed. Word
was soon passed that the vessel was
doomed, and a general srratnhle for
the lifeboats ensued, many lumping
overboard and attempting to swim
Mhore 'he distance being short. In
the scramble to get into the boats
many were hurled headlong Into the
chilly v. ;( r, which, according tc pas-'
Stagera a: living from the scene, seem
ed alive with human beings Before :
al! the passengers had left he vessel
ihe gave a unge ar.d went .jwn, Low
first.
a number of passengers ct the!
wrecked steamer tell their thrilling ex- -periences
during the disaster. M
Blumauer, of Portland, who was bring
ing out a -.in in i containing $14,000
in Klondike gold, rushed up to the,
upper deck when the boat was settling1
by the head, and Captain Foote told
him there was little danger. Soon
there was a t ish for the boats and
when he was boarding th lifeboat he
Was afraid to throw his satchel of gold
down from the deck i:ii the boat, for
fear that the weight of the gold would
stave a hole through the lifeboat and
thus cause the hiss of the lives of
those In tile boat, as well as losing
his own chancel of safety. He eon
sluOi I to abandon his gold, and drop
ping the .satchel on the deck, he slbl
down into the water and was hauled
to the boat, thankful to save his life.
One man. who had just come from
the Klondike, whose name could not
be learned. Is reported to have taken
.his portmanteau t" the care of the
purser, Mr. Bishop, and with the grip
containing dust amounting to 140,000
in value, grasped firmly In his hand,
jumped from the sinking steamer to
a boat close by, and failing to reach
the boat, he went down with his
treasure.
The death of Captain Foote was very
pathetic. He remained on the brie :ta
until the steamer -was foundering. I
When the vessel commenced to sink
and it was seen that no expedient
could avail, the captain, it is said,
jumped Into the life raft, which was
already taxed. Realizing that ills
weight would work havoc there, he ex
claimed: "I si" there are too many
here, so good-bye, boys," and swam
away. He wns shortly afti rward seen
to Bink.

IOWA OFF FOR PANAMA. U'WT U' MK X
Rumors of An Ecuadorian Invasion of
Colombia Denied.
Washington, Aug. 19. Captain
Perry, of the battleship Iowa, now at
San Frani Isco, lias telegraphed to the
navy department an acknowledgment
of ins Instructions to proceed to the
west coast of Panama in connection
with the revolutionary troubles, but
reports that the boilers and Borau oth
er parts of the vessel need Immediate
at i ntion, It is hoped by the depart
ment, however, that she will be able
to s:iil sunn' tiiti" today.
The most Interesting development
was the news contained In a press
dispatch from Quito that Ecuadorian
troops aiv ready to Invade Colombia,
and
that a battle
was niiiiiiii. Kt iH'ar
1'
isto Mr. Bilva, the Colombian min
ister, while without advices from his
. ivi rnment, expressed the belief that
ihis new expedition was a part of the.
revolutionary movement, and that It
was in no sense oranlxed by the Ecua
dorian government. He said that
many years ago there had been fric
tion between the two governments, iut
that in recent years no important con
troversial issues had been raised be
tween them.
