Tn-. only topi< of conversation alone the waterfront yesterday was th.e report»*d Joss of the transport Sherlian .iff the Japanese roast, with ! t'Vi -ouU on Iviard. Practically al! the ■•hipping m«-n discredit the rumor. Th“ story was traced to Horace Cook and R B. Hoyne, who arrived here on Wednesday night on the Ventura They say that the story was published in the San Francisco Bui letin and that they heard of It about California street in the vicinity of • • Me .ant - Exchange. No details were giv.R other than that the Sheridan had been lost with all hands al*>ard One thing, however, which was positively learned yesterday was that the Sheridan was not bound to San Francisco, as reported on Thursday afternoon. but was going exactly in the opposite direction. Not Going to Nagasaki. Th- Sheridan left San Francisco, January 1. bound for Manila. via Guam Her course therefore would not have been b> Nagasaki, as the officers of the Ventura were credited with saying. It is hoped that the Kilpatrick, which is due here at any time, may bring some later news either confirming or denying the story. \ copy of the regular edition of the San Francisco Evening Bulletin of January 16 was in possession of th- Republb an. but it did not contain one line concerning the fate of the Shvudan Of course the news may have been published in a late evening edition. The Sheridan is commanded by Captain Pierce She left San Francisco on New Year's day and the

departure was made an occasion for quite a demonstration.
