The Taciflc Mail steamer Colima wai
wrecked between Manzanillo and Acapulcoj
off the west coast of Mexico, and, according
to the latest report. 187 of the passengers and
crew were drowned. She was bound fo
Panama, and left San Francisco, Cal., with1
191 persons on board thirty-nine cabin pasJ
sengers. thirty-seven steerage, forty-thred
Chinese, eleven officers and a crew of sixty
one men.
-
Of the passengers five cabin and thre?
steerage were bound for ports at which the
steamer stopped before the accident hap-'
pened. -
A lifeboat containing twenty-one men, of
which nine were cabin passengers, sevenj
were steerage passengers and five, were
members of the crew reached Manzanillo the
day after the disaster. The next day three
passengers and two members of the crew ap
peared off the coast below Manzanillo and
they were rescued. The accident was thd
! most frightful in its loss of life which has
I ever occurred in Mexican waters, and the
j Colima is a complete loss- unless some of it
carjjo can be recovered by divers, which will
probably be attempted.
Seventy-five miles below San Bias, Mexico,
where the vessel had stopped for passengers,

up to 213, a hurricane was encountered, and
it was debated whether the. ship should at

and treacherous Banderas Bay, which has
rocks near the entrance, or whether it were
better to push out to sea.
One Mexican passenger, Don Martias Mor

Among the attractions at Arsenal Island, a
St. Louis. (Mo.) pleasure resort, a few after

Professor Barson to permit him to accom

When everything was in readiness the
aeronaut gave the-order to '"let go," and the
balloon shot upward. The spectators were
suddenly horrified to see Heafle clinging to
the netting on the upper part of the immense
bag. The Professor's attention was attract
ed to Heafle when the balloon was about 700
feet from the ground, and he cried to himi
'For mercy's sake hang onto the balloon!"
but at that instant Heafle loosened his grasp
on the ropes and went swirling through the
air, turning several somersaults in his de
scent and ''striking the ground with, such
force as to crush hMs body into a shapeless
mass. t
Heafle is said to have gone to the grounds
early in the day with a young woman, and
later he quarreled with her. It was sug

Five rigs', tanks, and boiler houses, be

Fires raged at Chipmunk. Tally

The settlement of Coon Run, in Elk County,
was reported completely wined out. There

savs that ilftv rigs belonging to
Messrs'. CartK Bams & Russell have been

and swallowed by the night of fog.
Of this load only one of the sailors la
known to have escaped the engulfing flood
which swept over the boat within five min
utes after it was launched. A similar fata
befell all the othor boats with one exception,,
and this is the boat with twenty-one persons
aboard, which was picked up by the steamef
San Juan.
A special train bearing a rescue party, in
eluding four physicians, wa3 sent out from Co
lima to Manzanillo. They were badly needed
In Manzanillo, as most of the people there
were panic stricken, and the few skilled work
ers were' almost exhausted in caring for the
saved. It was said that fifty-four bodies had
been brought Into Manzanillo by several
searching parties patrolling the coast oa
foot and in boats.
The weather was hot, and no means for
embalming were at' hand, and as it was impos
sible to dig separate graves the bodies uni' -claimed
by survivors were of necessity iny
terred in long trenches.
The Jefe Politico of Manzanillo summoned;
.all the mounted rural forces in the district
to duty at Manzanillo and a garrison of sol
diers was placed on guard to prevent rob
bery of the iead and to dig graves and
trenches. It is known that some vandalism
has been committed, as several bodies have
been found a short distance from the shoro
stripped of all! valuables and clothing. Por
tions of the ship have reached shore, and it
is apparent she will be a total loss.
One of the saddest incidents of the wreck;
is the death of Professor Harold Whitney, of
the University of California, and his familyj'
He was formerly of Harvard. He went down,
with his wife and four children. He gained
much reputation while at Harvard by his
book on physics, and three year3agohe went
to Berkeley, where he took the chair ot
physics.
Later details are contained in the follow
ing despatch from Colima:
"Six survivors of the steamer Colima have
reached here. They are John Thornton, JJ ,
E. Chilbred, of Seattle, and cabin passengers
lewis Peters aad-Yinjjor,8eamea Gonzales
and Fred Johiison. They got ashore on a
raft from which three seamen were lost.'
Another raft with five persons was seen near,
SahTalmo. Its fate is unknown. The wo-'
men and children-were all in the stateroomaj
and all went down with the steamer. :
"The survivors saw Purser Wafer in a
well-manned jboat pulling away from thej
sinking steamer toward shore. It Is sup-
posed that this boat is still afloat." ;

THE FAIR ESTATE'S COLOSSAL DEAL.
apparent, except to
pilot and' Captain. The Captain ordered a
slight change in the course, and gave othei
directions which were obeyed by the officers
and crew.
A very few seconds later the keel ground
on a rock, lightly, and there was at once
great excitement among the officers and
crew and fear on the part of the few passenger
on deck. In less than ten seconds after, the
ship struck on an unknown reef and a shud
der ran through .the hull from bow to stern.
The passengers sprang from their berth
in terror and ran out on to the decks, scream
ing and praying in a paroxysm of fear, foi
the awful truth. began to burst upon them.
The wind howled and a dense pall of fog
hung over the ship as she was tossed by the
surges and begun to pound herself to pieces
on the rocks. Sh1 rose and fell three times.
Man the boats," trumpeted the Captain.
The boats had previously been made ready
with all the life preservers placed at con
venient places, although covered from the
view, of nervous passengers. Within three
minutes of the first crash in the hull the ship
began to reel from its upright balance, to
settle and to sink in its free hinder part.
TL-? scenes about the lifeboats were inde
scribable. According to all the testimony
obtainable, the panic-stricken passengers
and the ship's crew struggled for first place,
although, to the credit of the crew, few of
the sailors or ship's people lost their pres
ence of mind, but gave their main attention
to saving the passengers.
There were a' number of children on the
passenger list, and one of these was pitched
overboard iDto the frothing sea by a frenzied
mother, who meant to throw the child Into
one of the lifeboats, while it was still upon
the davits. A woman of evident wealth and
refinement among the passengers. twhose
nam is thought to be Eroslin or Crosslyn,
displayed remarkable presence of mind7 and
in the most trying moments passed among
the frenxied throng exhorting the people to
keep quiet and taking particular care of the
women and children.
Some of the passengers, not willing to
await the chance of a place in the boats,
seized the life belts and cast themselves Into
the seas. They were dashed against the
rocks. The first boat to be lowered, with iti I
heavy burden of humanity, succeedel In
