Every house within a hundred yards of the water was swept away. Five lives were lost, _ and numbers were bruised and had. limbs broken. The body of one woman was found by the boats off Honolii. The boats of the American whaleship Pacific, Captain Smithers, lying in the harbour, picked xp six people who were swimming for their lives in the bay. Thirty-seven dwelling houses were entirely destroyed ; 17 badly injured ; live people drowned and killed ; seven badly injured ; 163 left homeless and destitute ; 17 horses and mules drowned.

TOTAL WRECK.

OF THE SPLENDID STEAMSHIP CITY OF SAH FRAMCSSGO

Captain Wad&ell's Statement of

tho Disaster.

The magnificent steamship City of San Francisco, formerly employed on t\ic San Francisco, New Zealand, and Australian mail service, has been totally wrecked. The following are particulars of the occur rence :—

Sax Diego, ox Board the Cost a Rica, May 30.—The steamer just dropped anchor in the bay. She has on board 137 passen gers of the wrecked steamship City of San Francisco. Moses Sargent, the brother of Senator Sargent, gives the following details : —The splendid steamship City of San Fran cisco left Panama May 11th, at 4.30 a.m., with 137 passengers —4(5 cabin and 91 steer age—and 100 officers and crew. The steamer cost $750,000 ; the outfit $250,000 ; cargo, §750,000, consisting of goods of the most valuable description of silks, velvets, laces, etc. On Wednesday morning, May 16th, the day being bright and the atmos phere clear, at 9.18 o'clock a peculiar in describable tremor was felt, the ship having struck upon an unknown reef probably, cutting into her hull a length of sixty feet, the water rushing in with fearful velocity. The ship was then six miles southwest from Tartus Shoals, ami thirteen miles from shore, the captain having known by obser vation her position at S o'clock. The ship •was at once turned towards the shore, gradually sinking, with full steam on, when she grounded on a sand bank at 10.20 a.m., fortunately three compartments not burst ing.

HEADING THE STEAMSHIP FOR SHORE.—

LANDING THE PASSENGERS.

Tiie captain and his officers were cool, calm, and clear-headed. As soon as the ship struck orders were given to get the boats ready and put life-preservers on, as the danger of-sinking was most imminent. Soundings between the reef and sandbank showed .oh, 7h 22f and 22 fathoms of water, and no bottom. Daring the fearful interval, and while evidently sinking, not a cry was heard from the passengers. There was little confusion, but silent, anxious waiting, although there were 137 pas sengers, 20 of them small children, and many young men never having been before at sea. The boats started for the shore, 30 miles away (not a passenger being allowed a pound of baggage of any kind), and when reaching the shore, each boat was overturned in the surf, and the passengers were thrown in the surf—a scene never to be forgotten. THE SHIPWRECKED OX SHORE. Providence preserved every life, and all were safe on the Mexican shore. For tunately, a stream of freshwater was found a a gorge between the mountains, where, with the stars for a covering, and the roots and brandies of the trees for mattrasses, all slept who could. Wild notes of birds were heard, and what unknown bugs and animals were in the woods, the Lord only knew. A MEXICAN GUNBOAT COMES TO THEIR RELIEF. The captain at once sent one of the officers to Acapulco, eighty miles distant, but fortunately, the boat fell in with the gunboat Mexico, Captain Lolar com mander, and although under orders to jjet provisions for a besieged city, tiie in habitants of which wore starving, the captain at once steamed off to the relief of the shipwrecked passengers. They were all taken off safely, crowding the deck of the gunboat, and the next day transferred to the Pacific Mail steamship Costa Rica, Captain Whiteberry commander. STATEMENT OF CAPTAIN WADDELL. Captain Waddell says seven steam pumps of l(>0 barrels per minute were absolutely useless, the whole bottom of the steamer having dropped out. Captain Waddell has steamed down the spot repeatedly. The only conjecture is that the late earthquake, which was made manifest on this coast by tidal wave, may have upheaved submarine rocks. In one hour and two minutes after striking, the ship was under the waves. The hull of the steamer alone weighed 0,000,500 pounds. The machinery weighed 500 tons,gbesides about 400 tons coal, and 210 tons" pig iron for ballast. This will give one a faint idea of the force with which the vessel struck, as she was going at the rate of eleven knots when she struck. Captain Waddell was on the bridge an hour before the steamer struck, and timed everything by his watch. Twenty minutes after she struck the fires were out.

HOW THE VESSEL FOUNDERED.—CON DITION OF THE WRECK.

""In that 20 minutes she was running in shore under full head of steam, and ran 4g minutes after, making a distance of 9 or 10 miles, and there grounded in 30ft of water on a sandy bottom. On the next morning a part of the stern was seen out of water. "The whole body of the ship is submerged. The mizenmast is gone; baggage of passengers, furniture, etc., is constantly floating ashore during the day. The money of passengers in the purser's hands, the ship's money, and all the baggage, ore totally lost. There was a inn for lite.

Indian Rising in Idaho.

WHOLESALE

MASSACRE OF

SETTLERS.

150 TROOPS SURROUNDED, AND

HALF OF THEM KILLED.

Portland (Oregon), June 19th.—Late last ni(rht, the following news was received from Wallula : —The steamer Almata, from Lewiston, Idaho Territory, has just arrived, and brings the following Indian news : — The Indians, embracing Joseph's bund and the Salmon river Indians, were assembled on Camas prairie, making demonstrations of hostility. On Friday morning, news came that' Harry Oft and three other white men had been killed on Salmon river, near the month of the White Bird. The set tlers on Camas prairie had become so much alarmed that they were gathering toward Mount Idaho, and asked for troops to come to their relief, but no troops were ordered upon their request. About five o clock p.m., Friday, an Indian messenger came through to the agency with a letter to the effect that the Indians had made an ATTACK UPON THE SETTLERS on the prairie, and had killed Ben Norton, shot his wife, shot Mr Moore, badly wounded Morton's son, and mortally wounded a Mr Day, and had attacked all teams on the road and forced the men to abandoathern, and at the time of writing had possession of all of Camas prairie ex cept Mount/Idaho, and were threatening an attack upon that town. It demanded im mediate aid to be sent to the rescue. Ua Friday evening, at eight o'clock, a military force of 100 troops, 20 friendly Indians a\.n several citizens, left Lapwai garrison, under command of Colonel Perry, for Mount Idaho. The Indians were lighting below Chapman's. After the arrival of Colonel Perry a dispatch came through to the cnect that he arrived at Mount Idaho on Satur day morning, and fouofl the reports ot those Likud true. Tli- iiJi-UL» li-.i o-": t(' J

Salmon river, and the troops were in pursuit. Messengers from Kamai, brought by Indian runners to the agency, state that

TWENTY-NINE WHITES HAD DEKX KILLED, And that the whites had killed White Bird, chief of the band, and his family. Lewis ton has an organization of 60 men, partly fitted for home duty in case of emergency. A BATTLE—THE TROOPS SURIIOUXDED. The t oops, with 150 men from Mount Idaho, encountered the Indians at the head of White Bird canyon. The troops dis mounted and left a few soldiers and twenty friendly Indians to hold the horses. The Indians opened lire upon the troops, and the fighting was continued for .some time. The friendly Indians became alarmed, and the soldiers guarding the Worses could see that the Indians were getting the best of the fight, and the soldiers were retreating. The "captain of the citizens, Sergeant Lytle, and one soldier were known to be killed. The whole horse guard, Indians and whites, broke and ran, some for Mount Idaho and some for Lapwai, leaving the horses to run loose over the prairie. Those coining to Lapwai never stopped- till they reached the post. Many horses on the prairie have been burned. Another soldier who reached the garrison at eight o'clock on the morning of the ISth from the fight, reported that the troops were on foot and surrounded by Indians in the canyon, and in a hand-and-hand right, Colonel Perry and •about ONE-HALF OF THE COMMAND ARE SAID TO HAVE BEEX KILLED, And the remainder surrounded and fight ing against odds when the soldier left. The Indians engaged in the light number 2.000 effective warriors. There is a general uprising of the savages, and the whole country is wild with alarm. The Indians are massacring men, women and children in Camas prairie, and the settlers are flee ing all directions for safety. General Howard is now at Lewistou, but is power less, owing to the inadequate military forces. Troops have been ordered from a number of posts in the department, and will soon be on the way to the scene. General McDowell, commanding the Divi sion of the Pacific, has been telegraphed to and speedy assistance demanded. Further and sanguinnry details are expected here. Governor Chadwiclc has also been applied to for arms, etc.

ENTOMBMENT OF MINERS IN FRANCE.

A fall of coal occurred in the pit of Koche la-Moliere, near Saint-Etienne (Loire), on the Bth inst., by which three workmen, Brassard, and the two brothers Peyron, were cut off from all communication with the service. As hopes were entertained that they were solely imprisoned, and not crushed, gangs of men were at once organised to liberate them, and those efforts hapily proved successful, after the poor men had passed 125 hours in that sub terranean prison They were alive, but in a very exhausted state. The account they have been able to give is to the effect that, when the accident happened, they were in a sort of chamber which protected them from being hurt. They possessed the provisions they had brought for their day's consumption, and three litres of wine. Those precious articles they partook of with the most frugal parsimony, but at last all was exhausted. They had the good fortune to discover a spring of pure water, to which in all probability they owed their lives. Brossard had saved his lamp, and for two days they had some light, but the oil gradually diminished, and they then were plunged in complete darkness. The accident having been accompanied by an inundation of the lower part of the mine, the men suffered severely from damp and cold but bravely kept up their spirits. The elder Peyron cheered his comrades by relating how he had himself formerly been in a similiar straight, but had been liberated after a period of three days. His efforts were powerfully aided by the facts that they could hear the constant Wows of the men outside straining every nerve to release them, and they all agree that they never despaired of being eventually saved. However, their powers of endurance were taxed to the utmost limits. When the pangs of hunger became unendurable, they ate their tobacco, gnawed lumps of wood, &c, but at length, finding themselves growing weaker and weaker, they managed to arrange a bed of coal-dust on which they lay down, and where they were iotunl by their deliverers, one of them being even asleep. Of course as soon as they could be removed to the surface, they received every attention. They were taken to the Company's hospital, and are getting on very well after their long interment— GcJignani.

TORPEDOES IN OUR NAVAL SERVICE.

The Morning Advertiser observes : — " Though for some occult reason the torpedoes with which the Danube and the water* on the shores of the Black Sea are said to be alive have not yet made themselves felt in the course of the present war, it cannot be doubted that the torpedo is destined to revolutionise naval war-fare. The Lighting, which has just been running the measured mile in Stokes Bay, is without exception the fastest ship in our navy, and only 84 feet in length. She will be armed with Whitehcad's torpedos, which will be dis charged from her forward deck. The latest, improvement about this phenomenal misssileis that it can be set so as to return to the surface at half-cock and without exploding if it miss, the object aimed at, and thus be .safely picked up. Though fired from a deck above the sur face of the sea, the torpedo will at once dive down to the distance wished, and then proceed in an unerring line on its mission of ueath and devastation, it being calculated to make a breach of 70 feet in bursting. No vessel, however built, could long continue to float after such a blow, 'and the demoralising effect of such a disaster on the rest of a fleet maybe easily imagined. We shall hope to hear that the navy will soon include fifty Lightnings at least, the whole cost of which would be but coo, or about half that of an ironclad." AN OCEAN RACE BETWEEN NEW ZEALAND SHIPS. A long distance match by sea lias just been decided, which caunot fail to interest a trreat number of our readers in New Zealand. On the 10th of March last two iron clipper ships left .Lyttelton Harbour, Canterbury, New Zealand, bound for London, the '-Crusader," Captain Davies, and the "Rangitiki,' Captain Scotland. Both vessels being about the same tonnage, and both having the reputation for fast sailing, heavy bets were laid on their respective performances on the passage home. In fact, tUeir start caused in the comparatively limited community of Canterbury almost as much excitement as does the Derby at home. Each coasting steamer captain as lie came into port forwarded to the local papers a report of the two ships' progress as far as they were sighted, namely at dusk on "the 12th March off Banks' Peninsula, up to which time they were well together, and betting was about even on them, each ship having its own enthusiastic partisans. The race haaterminated in one of the most remarkable runs ever made by a sailing vessel from he Antipodes, the " Crusader," Captain Davies, having reached the English Channel within 65 days of her leaving Lyttelton Harbour. Tliis passage is an unprecedented one and worthy of record, being in fact little if at all in excess of what a steamer's run would be over the same course. The " Crusader" is a fine looking craft of 1,053 tons register, and is one of Messrs. Shaw, Savill & Co. s Passenger Line of Packets. The " Rangitiki" has not yet put in an appear ance, although the "Crusader" lias been in London over a fortnight.

THE SITUATION IN MORMONDOM. New York, June 6.—The "Tribune's" Skit Lake special says :A. delegation of representatives of non-Mormon citizens waited on General Crook to-day in regard to the concentration of troops in the Territory, and the story that Brigham Young is arming his people to make a fight in case he is prosecuted for complicity in the Mountain Meadows massacre. The delegation told General Crook that they apprehend no danger of a general uprising of the Mormons against the constituted authority of the country, but said that they did fear" an outbreak in case Young was V...AV,,vt,f t 0 trial for murder. Crook replied

that it would be time enough to provide for trouble when an indictment had been f nind.

TRAIN BOARDED BY THIEVES. New York, June 10.—The out train on the Pennsylvania Railroad, due at Jersey City this morning, was boarded by a band of thieves who robbed and nearly beat to death Thomas Downing of New York. The conductor and brakemen who attempted to rescue Downing were driven away with revolvers, but succeeded in locking the ruffians in a car and telegraphed the police at Jersey City to be ready at the depot. While the train was running 30 miles an hour three of the desperadoes escaped by jumping out of the windows. The fourth man was arrested. LEE'S UNPUBLISHED CONFESSION. Washington, June 10, —Among the papers submitted to Attorney-General Devens by District Attorney Howard, of Utah, are the unpublished portions of Lee's confession. They are said to implicate Brigham Young and other high members of the Mormon Church, as having been in di rect complicity with the Mountain Mead ows massacre. The chief difficulty in eff ecting a conviction upon Lee's statement, arises from the difficulty of procuring wit nesses who are now widely scattered.

June ith.—A special to the I Associated Press from Mount Carmel, Illinois, says: A terrible storm struck this city to-day, j by which sixteen men lost their Jives, and half a I million dollars worth of property was destroyed. A large number were wounded, several of whom ; will undoubtedly die. The bodies of four of the killed were burned in a house that took lire. There are at least 35 still missing. Later in formation says that four more bodies have been i found, and two of the wounded have since died. The ruins of the demolished buildings are burn in?, threatening' the total destruction of the town. Private telegrams state that a tornado struck Mount Carmel about 1 p.m., causing a : great loss of life and property. Twelve are I known to have been killed, and thirty to fifty ! wounded. About twenty others are missing. I Among the buildings destroyed are the Presby- I tenan and Methodist churches, two school j house?, the Court-house, and several stores and residences. Mount Carmel was a thriving town of about three thousand inhabitants, on the Cairo and Vincenncs Railroad. The duration of the wind did not exceed two minutes, but rain continued to fall for some time after the cyclone passed. The velocity of the j wind is estimated at 150 miles per hour. I During its prevalence, the air was filled with Hying roofs, windows, doors; lumber, rails, clothing, etc. Much of the debris was carried more than a mile away. It being a rainy day, many farmers, who could not work at home, were in town. The County Court was also in session, which brought many people to i the city. Men, women, and children were blown helplessly about, some a distance of four ' hundred feet, as if they were feathers. The best part of the town is destroyed. Some seventy families arc houseless. The search for bodies still continues. FAMINE IN COREA.

A letter to the Hoclit Shinbun, of Japan, from Ooreu, says:—Owinjf to the terrible famine, the Coreans arc in extreme poverty. We (Japanese residents) observe the poor natives everywhere starving to death ; while crowds of beggars arc wanderinar about in search of food. 'They arc emaciated to the last degree, and reduced to dreadful extremities. Some of them are occa sionally found on the point of death in onr settle ment. Exports consist mostly of gold dust, ox skins, and.ginseng. The Kold dust hos fallen oil" greatly in quantity of late, and the natives brought gold rings, pins, and hair ornaments in exchange for rico and wheat; each of them is about thirty monmc in weight, and made of pure gold. In addition to the horrors of starva tion the poor Coreans are atllic'ed by pestilence. Dead bodies are sometimes found lying in the streets, where they are left for many diiys.

TORPEDO EXPERIMENT.

On Saturday, a large company of gentle men interested in shipping, assembled on Ferrily Beach to witness the dispersion of the sunken steamer Stanley Main, which for the past 12 months lias presented a serious obstacle to the navigation of the Humber, between Hull and (Joule. Half a-dozen of Messrs. Newton Brothers' patent torpedoes were rapidly planted by a.boat's crew and fired in succession, the eil'ect being an upheaval of spars ami timber, accompanied by a violent shock, distinctly felt whithin a radius of several miles. A "Newton baby"'was finally employed. This was an interesting infant in the shape of a patent torpedo, containing about 1401b. of tonite, the most powerful explosive known, and when fired the effect was magical. A huge volume of water, masts, and wreck was shot about 100 feet into the air. After the subsidence all traces of the wreck had disappeared, floating timbers were being rapidly carried away by the tide. Whatever may be the value of the torpedo as an instru ment of warfare, it proinisesto be a consider able boon for clearing away sunkon obstacles in frequented channels. THE DERBY. London, May 20.—The Derby was won by Silvio, Glen Arthur second, Rob Roy third.—Seventeen started.— The latest bet ting was five to two against Chamant, nine to two against Rob Roy, seven to one against Altyrc, eight to one against Brown Prince, the American horse. Last betting against winner twelve to one. After the preliminary canters, led by Thundcstone, seventeen starters were marshalled, and at the first attempt the hag fell to a capital start. Glen Arthur and Tantalus were the first away and made a joint running for 200 yards, when they were joined by Don Carlos, Brown Prince, and Jagellan, these being just in advance of Plunger, Touchet.. Orleans, Silvio and Rob Roy. Then came- Grey Friar and Chamant, with Covenanter and Philidorroch in the rear. Before reaching the mile post, Brown Prineetook up the running. At the top of the hill (ilen Arthur was leading again. As they came arou ul Tattenham corner, Glen Arthur, Touchet, Grey Friar anil Silvio on the lower ground wese followed by Cbumant, Rob Roy, Brown Priiice and Altyre. Here Chamant was beaten, and Silvio took the second place, Puilidorroch, Rob Roy and Altyre being just in advance of Touchot and Brown Prince. As they commenced to rise the hill a little-over one hundred yards from home. Silvio took com mand, while Rob Roy became second, and endeavoured to overhaul the leader. How ever he never got up, and Silvio won by half a length. Three-quarters of a length showed between the second and third. Time—2-50. Archer rode the winner. Ascot Races. —Gold Vase.—Skylark fL-st.

At Jirst three of the jury were favourable to conviction, one of these gave in at an early stage, the other two re mained obstinate till the Judge spoke of locking them up again.
