up against tho degeneracy, the corruption,
and greed and recklessnesa of the party in

Burning Of II. city Of Waco.
GALVESTON, Nov. 9.-The steam
ship City Of Waco. Of the Mallory
line, arrived from New York yester-
day, and was anchored outside the
feet Of vessels. At one o'clock this
morning she was discovered to be on
fire. A strong northwest wind was
blowing, with showers Of rain. The
passengers, officers and crew took. the
ships open boats and at three o'clock
passed through the feet. The sea
was SO high that other vessels could
not render assistance. The last seen
Of the open boats they were drifting
in a westerly direction.
LATER DETAILS.
The City of Waco sank at 1. p. m.
in seven fathoms Of water. The YES
sci and cargo are a total loss. The
wind this morning was blowing a
gale.
There where heavy showers of rain
early in the night, with occasional
Lightning. Some think the ship was
struck by lightning, and having a
considerable quantity Of oil on board
the flames could moi: be extinguished.
The agents Of the line state that
there were AZ or IS persons on. board
the Waco, including passengers, Off
Gers and crew. There is much dis
satisfaction expressed at the conduct
Of the officers and men on board other
vessels, which were all lying in sight,
and . number of them very near. :
.,. From all information possible to
obtain at present-10 p. NIT. seems
the Waco was lying with head to gale,
and the fire which first appeared for
ward on the deck caught in the large
quantity Of oil, swept over the vessel,
burning everything before it. Fifteen
vessels were lying at anchor, thirteen
Of which were to the leeward of the
Waco. The supposition is if any of
the passengers or crew had appeared
forward or aft on deck, or any boats
had been launched, they would have
been seen by some of the other YES
sells, none of which can confirm the
first rumors of seeing boats pass
through the fleet. The impression is
now gaining ground that not a soul
on board the ill-fated vessel is alive.
