STORY OF THE WRECK. Colima, Mex., May 30.—A special} messenger arrived from Manzanilla| | i this morning at 1 o'clock with official | information for the Governor of | Colima regarding the Colima steam- ship disaster off Munzanilla. Seventy-five miles below San Blas | a hurricane was encountered, and it | was debated as to whether or not} the ship should attempt to gain| partial shelter in the shallow and| treacherous Banderas Bay, which) has rocks near it’s entrance, or| whether it were better to push out) to sea. | One local Mexican passenger, Don | Matias Moreno, says the report was about on the deck and testifies that} while cautiously steering for what | to all appearances was the usual eu-| trances, a slight tremor was felt | through the skp. It was so faint | that it was hardly apparent to the} trained senses of the pilots and the} captain. The change in the course and gave other nstructions, which were obeyed by the officers and crew.

Some of the passengers not willing to await the chance of a place in the boats, seized the life belts and bold- ly cast themselves into the sea, where they were tossed helplessly upon the waves or dashed against the rocks, which were easily observ- ei from the fast sinking ship. The first boat to be lowered with its heavy burden of humanity suc- ceeded in clearing the ship's side, but was swept away in the fog. Of this load only one of the sailors is known to have escaped the engulfing flood which swept over the boat within five minutes after it was launched. A similar fate befell all the other boats with one exception. | EARL SIMS. Now With the U, S. Navy, Aboard the Charleston, Writes an [nterest- ing Letter From China. U. S. S.
