Ferry collides with freighter in Manila Bay

MANILA, Philippines — An inter-island ferry carrying more than 600 people collided with a freighter and sank before dawn yesterday in Manila Bay.
Reports said some of the passengers had been rescued, but the numbers ranged widely. ZZRH, a private radio station, said the coast guard had rescued 18 people while station ZZMM said more than 200 were saved.

"We were sleeping. Suddenly we heard a crash. I grabbed my two children, but when the ferry sank we were sucked under the water with it. A piece of metal hit my arm, and I lost hold of my two kids," said survivor Erwin Maravilla.

The Singapore-registered freighter, the Cota Soria, with a crew of 26, was helping in the rescue effort.
He was one of the first group of survivors plucked from the sea by a navy patrol and brought to Manila.
Cargo containers and rubber rafts were floating at the scene, but it was unclear whether there were people aboard, said radio station DZRH, reporting from an airplane overhead.
THE NEWS in brief
Clinton pledges money to support military
President Clinton, aiming to counter Republican charges that he has weakened the military, said yesterday he would pump $25 billion into future Pentagon budgets to give troops higher pay and enough training to stay combatready.
WASHINGTON
"Our military will remain the best-trained, best-equipped, the best fighting force on earth," Clinton pledged as Defense Secretary William Perry and the generals and admirals of the Joint Chiefs of Staff stood by at a Rose Garden ceremony.
Clinton said future spending would include "quality of life" improvements for U.S. forces and their families, such as better housing, child care and family support services.
The president also said he would ask Congress to replenish funds taken out of this year's defense budget to pay for unanticipated military deployments in Haiti, Kuwait and the Caribbean. Pentagon officials said that would amount to more than $2 billion.
And in a holiday season reassurance to U.S. troops, Clinton guaranteed that they would receive pay increases tied to inflation. In the past he has asked Congress to lower or do away with the increases, but they went through anyway.
BRUSSELS, Belgium Leader calls Bosnia a debacle
Secretary of State Warren Christopher confessed yesterday that the United States and its allies had mismanaged the war in Bosnia. He said they all had lessons to learn from the debacle.
As the NATO foreign ministers moved to expand NATO to countries in Central and Eastern Europe, Christopher found himself cast in the embarrassing role of explaining the Clinton administration's decision to forgo force in favor of diplomacy to try to rein in the Serbs.
"All of us ought to try to learn lessons from the experience in Bosnia," Warren told reporters, while trying to focus their attention on NATO's future rather than the faltering attempt to quiet the conflict in the former Yugoslavia.
WASHINGTON Whitewater to claim first victim
The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that Hubbell, 46, would admit to tax evasion and mail fraud under an agreement with independent counsel Kenneth Starr.
Former Associate Attorney General Webb Hubbell, one of President Clinton's close friends, will plead guilty to two felony charges brought by the Whitewater prosecutor, a source close to the investigation said yesterday.
Hubbell has been under investigation by Starr over allegations that he overbilled legal clients, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
The source would not say whether the charges were directly related to the alleged overbillings or whether Hubbell has agreed to cooperate with prosecutors as part of the plea.
News reports this past week indicated that Starr was close to seeking an indictment of Hubbell. But Hubbell agreed to enter a guilty plea instead, said the source close to the investigation.
Hubbell's lawyer, John Nields, Starr and White House aide Bruce Lindsey, a confidant of both Clinton and Hubbell, declined to comment, their offices said.
