Thus far only thirteen of the eoventy people who left this port on bosrd the ill- starred ship are accounted for, and de- tails of the terrible burricane in which the ““City of Vera Cruz” went down l:ave but @mall hopes of any more being heard from. Oaly three of the twenty-eight passengers are account- od for, and eight of the crew of fifty are alive. Major Gteneral Torbert is among the drowned. None of the women survive. The officers of the ship were most heroic, and ALL PERISHED AT THEIR POS The names of only two of the sar- vivors are as yet known, James Kelly, seaman, of New York, and Mason Talbot, teaman, of E gland. Those known to be lest are Edward Van Sice, captain: Frank M. Harris, first mate; S. E. Whitney, second mate. Pas- sengers—Gen. A. T. Torbet, Mrs. R, Ames, Miss E.

THE ILL-FATED STEAMER foundered ot half-past five Sunday morning in the midst of a hurricane, having labored painfully for hours in a heavy sea. There is very little hope of any addition being made to ihe list of survivors. On Saturday afteenoon the steamer encountered a heavy gale which soon increased in fury and at one ¢'clock Sunday morning it was fond neces- sary to throw out a drag to_help her head about. This s>cured the desired result for the time had pow and immenss waves b over the doomed ship. ing wave tore away picces of her upper work until her deck wa clean, even the rig torn and shattered. ceased to fulull its functions, and as tho seas rose over hier bows and deluged her decks they soon reached tho furnaces and extinguished the fires. The hatches having been tora from their fastenings by the Lil- tows and the fires beinz out, a stop was put to the engines and the *City of Vera Cruz”’ LAY AT THE MERCY OF THE WAVES, The donkey puwmp conldnot be worked to relieve the vessel of the water she wag rapidly making In her hold. TIn this extremity, Captain VanSice or- dered his men to throw overboard the deck load, but the sea was too heavy to permit the crew to carry out his or- ders, for while thus engaged several of the men were carried off their feet by the incoming sea, and many of them were washed overboard. Capt. Van Sice and his officers acted most cour- ageously in_the performance of their several duties, but were one by one washed overboard from their stations. As near as can be ascertained the cap- tain perished nearly an hour before the vessel really sucoumbed, and ss nearly all the hands were lost tha few remaiaing alive on board now saw no hope, to they took to the life-pre- servers. Evory life-boat and raft had disappeared, having been stove in when the top hamper went by the board. The sailors and passengers then seized fragments of spars, state- room doors, or any other movable ar- ticle that would float, and AWAITED THE END which all knew to be at hand. The surviving sailors state that the vessel was about 30 miles off shore at the time, the hurricane being one of terrible fury. By the time the ship was wrecked, the men and women had equipped themselves with their impromptu buoys.

A STORY OF HORROR. 1 Dispateh t0 the Bre W YoRE, September 6, 1a. m.— The loss of the steamship ‘‘City of Vera Cruz” is fully confirmed by ‘spe- cial dispatches. The story of the horrors preceding the foundering of the vessel, which was wrecked and twisted apart by the terrible sess, hava been forwarded from St. Aug tine. Mr. Talbot, a_seaman, gives a most thrilling narrative of the steam- ship’s battle with the hurcicane, the z of the large hoats and the ¢ and drowning of their load, and his own struggle for life, for twenty-six hours, before reaching land. * All officers except the quarter- master and sasistant and tho fourth and second assistant engineers, and the rest of the shi's company forty- two in all, have perished; the loss of life, therefore, is sixty-elght or sixty- nine. Spac The following account is given by Talbot. He says: About thirty miles off shora we besan to ship hoavy seas, and water w2s found in the hold. As fast a8 we could clear her she filled again by another heavy ses. This atate of things soon made the firas bura low, and we could not make steam enough to keep head on the wind. Wa then put out a heavy drag forward, and manazed to keep her into the wind. Everything was in 8 pavic; the life boats wers cut loose realy for sction, and all hands were supplied with life preservers. At day- light on Sunday boats were lowered and manned. They mo soomer got their cargo than they wers overturned and smashed to atoms agaiust the ateamer, all hands being swept away or their lives dashed out against the vessel’s sides. Boat after bozt was dashed to pieces in the same manner, until only a few of the passen- gers would venture to leave the steamer. The captain and officers lost their lives in one of the bosts. At half past 5 in the morning a heavy sea struck the steamer forward and crushed her fore and aft. All fires and lights were put out and every- 8 in a potfect bedlam; people thid all sides. broken ¢ | in two, and after a few surges she ED AND WENT DOWN, carrying with her all who were on board. When I arose to the surface I could ses, now and then, pieces of drift stoff, and sometimes one or two men. The women made no effort to save themselves and were drowned. [nmy sight, a mother and d.ughter were clasped to each other during the gale, and they came aghore that way drowned. From that time, ti}l 4in the afternoon, T could sionally see one or two men as fathoms under the surface, and when requiring it, you would havo to grasp something olso. 1 was compelled to dive gor dodgo many pieces of drift stuff, which woutd have kiiled me if wero hit by them. After 4 o'cloc! T came ashore cn the Fior- having beon about twenty-six surs in the water. I soon found wy other companions, a3 we all came t the sam: time, althoug! wco apart.

Owen, a passenger, tells astory from notes made since landing which does not differ materially from that of Talbot. The deck load, con- ing of cars for Mexico, cans of oils, etc., were cast overboard It was very difficult to move about without clinging to some support. Everything In the cabin was thrown from port to starboard. Daring the evening, water poured through the windows and main saloon and state rooms were filled with water. Passengers cheerod and encouraged each other and all manifested great coolness. At2a. m.aheavy sea extinguished the fires and stopped the engine. The dummy engine was putto work and continued until the steamer went down. A person casme down and said the captain wanted assistance and all hands went up and passed buck- ets of water for au hour or more. It was of no use, asthe sea was con- stantly coming in. All hopes were now abrndoned and passengers be- gan to put on life preservers. At 2 . m. atremendous sesswept r us throwing passengers and furn- iture into one mass. Soon after the port side was carried away by another wave and the passengera then all gathered in the hall, e ng last farewells and words of encourage- ment and adjasting life preservers. All were wonderfuliy cool uuder the circumstances. I adviced them to stay until the ship eank. Just before 12 a. m. the captain was seen. I do not koow whether he was washed overboard or left the ship. The sec- ond mate and one or two seamen were killed while attempting to lower a boat. The first engineer and his a sistants remained at their posts & the ¢hip sank. The quartermaster and a sailor remained at the whecl till the last. At 6 a. m. the ship parted amidships, and in an inatant cight belonged to the ship's crow. | i she was filled with debris of sll de- and scriptions, dashing together margling and killing unfortunate ors. den, women snd childzen il sad NO.

Last evening the magor received a_telegram from the president saying he would be the suest of tho governor—not of the city. The result is that the municipal authoritios are very indignant and have concluded to pay mo attention to the Hayes party, not even to the ex- tent of calling on the president. As the news spread through the city that the president declined the hospitality and civilities of the municipality the Mormons _ assumed that they were snubbed and insalted, and now say they will stay at home or attend to thelr ordinary bus- iness during the visit, showing the president no respect. The Gentiles are jubilant, though they fear they can- not getup a very imposing demonstra- tion if the Mormons refuse to partici- pate. The president will, on Monday, visit Fort Douglas where a banquet is belng prepared, and hold a reception in this city on Monday afternooa, and In the evening will leave for San Francisco. Base Ball.
