Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star. Guenattan, March 18.—The British man-of- war with which the Anchor line steamer Utopia collided last evening was the flag ship Anson of the channel squadron, Rear Admiral Loftus F. Jones, and not the Rodney, as at first re- ported. The ram of the Auron toreahole thirty feet long in the side of the Utopia, near the stern, the vessel sinking within ten minutes, going down stern first, the funnel aud masts showing just above the water. A heavy southwesterly gale was blowing at the time, and the tremendous seas washed every- thing movable overboard. The boats of the British squadron were immediately lowered, the launch of the Immortalite being wrecked and several sailors drowned while on their way. Great aid was derived from the use of the elec- tric lights with which the fleet is provided. The scene of the wreck was thus fully illumined and many. were saved who would otherwise have been drowned in the confusion and darkness. The boats of the squadron wore engaged ali night in eruising about, picking up bodies and rescuing survivors. As tothe number of lives lost it i too soon to make an accurate — ere is said to have been 8+0 passengers abou of whom 570 are reported lost. Even the most moderate estimates admit that two-thirds of the entire number were drowned. The dodies of men, women and children are already being washed ashore on the Spanish coast. Among those saved are Capt. McKenzie, the doctor and the steward. The agents of the Anchor line have received the following telegram: “Gipractar, March 18.—The = struck abaft the engine room, the stern sinking inside of five minutes in seven fathoms of water. It is dificult to ascertain exact number, but 130 Italians are known to be saved, while eight corpses of the same nationality bave been found. There are 173 survivors on board the men-of-war in the roadstead, but on account of the heavy gale now prevailing it is impossible to obtain names.” THE GALE ABATIXG. About ninety bodies have now (5 p.m.) been recovered, while the saved include the third officer and a New York saloon passenger.
