Departure Of California Cara',y for the East.
We have had another departure of troops
for the East. Tho California Cavalry Bat
talon, consisting of companies "A,"" b" and
&C" and numbering about three hundred
men left here on the 22d on steamer Consti-
triton. They were escorted to the boat by
five or six Of our city companies, attended by
several of our best bands. The procession
was very imposing one, and was followed to
the wharf by an large crowd. About III
o'clock all were on board, the line cast of, and
as the steamer swung from the wharf, cheer
after cheer was exchanged, and the Constitu-
toms parting gun was duly answered by
salute from the California Light Guard.

IKreck ofthe Steamer Senator.
The old steamer Senator, which came out
here in the fall Of 40 or spring of 80, and
has lately been running on the lower coast,
came very near being lost last week. She
was entering San Pcdros harbor in fog, and
Capt. Seely had just slowed her down and
was carefully feeling his way in, when she
struck Il sunkcn rock. She was backed off
and Immediately began to fill, when Capt.
Sccly headed her for the beach, landing her
smoothly i'll about ten feet of water. With
the aid Of some soldiers, small steamer, Il
lighter, and some shell-backs," the freight
has been saved and but slightly damaged.
The steamer Pac,fc was at once dispatched
to her assistance, but on her arrival at San
Pedro found the damage to the steamer had
been temporarily repaired, enabling her to
proceed to sea- She has since returned to
San Francisco, and gone on the dry dock at
Mare Island. In 1913 the Senator ran on
Long Island Sound from New York to Stone
ington.
"Ptmy Ir1se and Pound FoohM."
Last week the captain or agents of the ship
Shawmm (bound for Austraia) declined pay
ing steam tug fifty dollars to tow her out Of
the harbor and over the bar, and shortly attr:-
wards, while beating out of the bay she
grounded on "One- Mile Rock" and returned
in sinking condition. The necessary re-
pairs on the ship will cost 100000, while the
loss sustained by tho damage OF her cargo
will be 10000 more.
The Godcn Gatc's Treasure.
Seven more boxes of treasure came up on
tho last steamer from the wrecking patty now
at Manzanillo. They are still at work, and
entertain hopes of being able to recover much
more. They will probably receive about fifty
per cent. salvage, which will pay them hand
somcly for their enterprise.
