Heartrentiing Particulars-Statement of
the Clerk
CHICAGO, Sept S.-The clerk of the steamer Lady
Elgin makes the following statement:
The Lady Elgn left Chicago at half-past II
O'Clock on Friday night for Lake Superior. Among
the passengers the "Union Guard" of Mil
waukie, comprising par: of some $50 excursionist;
from that city. At halfpast two o'clock this
morning the schooner Augusta, of Oswego came
in collision with the Lady Elgin, when about ter
miles from shore. The vessel struck the steamer
midships By the gangway, on the larboard side
The two vessels separated instantly, and the Angus
ia driited by in the darkness.
At the moment of the collision there was music
and dancing going on in the forward cabin. In
an instant after the terrible crash all was still, and
in half an hour the steamer went down! | passed
through the cabins-tbe ladies were pale but silent
There was not cry or shriek-no sound but the
rush of the steam and the surge of the heavy sea.
Whether they were not fully aware of their danger,
or whether their appalling situation made them
speechless, cannot tell.
A boat was lowered at once, with the design OF
going round on the larboard side to examine the
extent of the leak. There were two oars belonging
to the boat, but just at that moment some person
possessed himself of of them and in the boat
were thus rendered poweress to manage it. We
succeeded, however, in reaching the wheel, but
were quickly drifted away and thrown upon the
beach at Ninetka. Only two boats were left on the
steamer. One of them contained thirteen persons,
all of whom were saved. The other bore eight
persons, but only four of them reached shore alive;
the four others being drowned at the beach.
Before left the steamer the engines had ceased
to work, the fires having been eXtinguished. The
force and direction of the wind such that the
boats and the fragments Of the wreck were driven
up the Lake and would reach the shore in the
vicinity of Ninetka. As | stood upon the beach
hopelessly looking back upon the route we had
drited, could see, in the grey morning light, OBJ
floating uDOn the water. and sometimes
thought saw human beings struggling with the
waves.
(Signed,) II. G. CLARYL,
Clerk Of the Lady Elgin.

From Washington
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Minister McIane has re
ceived his instructions, and will, therefore, retur
to Mexico with full knowledge of the views of ou
Government in regard to threatened Spanish hos
tilities against Mexico
The Liberal Government has informed Spain tina
the subject of the captured Maria Conception
undergoing judicial investigation, but this near
Tune, 1t is considered, does not prevent Spain, III
der the law of nations, from urging the restitutio
of the vessel and apology for its seizure. Shou
Mexico not comply with this demand, Spain will
according to reliable information, resort to force
Although our Government, in the absence of le
gslative sanction, has power to interfere betwee
the two parties, its views will doubtless be oiciall
made known to Her Catholic Majesty's Govern
ment.
The despatch of a large United States naval fore
to the Gulf OF Mexico is more especially for th
protection of American persons and property
measure justified by the peril to which they wi
be exposed in the event Of hostilites between Spai
| and Mexico.
1t is considered highly important that our diplt
| matte and naval officers shall act with prudence
| but firmness, and much reliance is placed in the
| discretion, while it will be required that Spai
shall respect our rights and interests in Thu
| quarter. 1t may here be stated, there is nothin
to justify. belief that either England or France
| encouraging Spain in her present movement.
