San Francisco, May 18.—Officers
of the British liner Cetriano, which
reached here today with 150 refugees
from the west coast of Mexico, report
that they were attacked by two
Mexican troopships at Manzanillo.
They say that she would have been
sunk at the dock had it not been lor
the U. S. cruiser Raleigh.
When the liner reached Manza
nillo the authorities ordered the cap
tain to leave at once and threatened to
dynamite the dock unless he sailed
within half an hour. He had been in"
formed that several American and
British refugees were trying to reach
his ship from the interior and he de
clined to move.
Arming his passengers he called
for volunteers to defend the wharf.
Two troopships bearing Mexican fed
crals approached from the other side
of the harbor and opened fire.
When the first shot was fired the
cruiser Raleigh, on patrol duty in the
outer harbor, steamed in. One of the
troopships was making straight at the
liner with the apparent intention o!
ramming her, but turned back when
the Raleigh fired a gun across her
bow.
Sailors mere landed and the dock kepi c'cur
until the refugees rou/d he taken a hoard. Jhe ( et
riano hears mamj hull el marks hat no one nuts hit.
The officers made a fall report of the affair
to the British consul. Fearful stories of torture and
m arder of foreigners in ires/ coast hums mere told
hi/ the refugees mho escaped on the liner.
