SECOND DISPATCH.l
CHICAGO, March ODD. = The Journals
Washington special says, regarding the City
of Mexico: The steamer being a very strong
one, it is thought that she is safe. Probably
she is out at sea waiting for the gale to sub
side.
THIRD DISPATCHl
WASHINGTON, March 22d.-There is ru-
NOR afoat here to-day that the steamer City
of Mexico, on which General Grant is a pas
senger, has been disabled, and another that
she has been lost at sea. The grounds for
these rumors are that the City of Mexico is
overdue, and that she has not yet been sight
ed by the pilots. She was due at Galveston
yesterday Inquiry at the executive mansion
and Signal Office fails to confirm the rumor.
FOURTH DIsPATCH.l
GALVESTON, March 22d.-The Norwegian
ship Reform, with $500 bales of cotton for
Havre, has gone to pieces off the coast. The
crew, together with fifteen stevedores and
two pilots are lost. The cargo is valued at
SIZE, 200.
[FIsTH DISPATCH.I
GALVESTON TEX, March 22d.-Fears have
been entertained of the safety of the steamer
City of Mexico, with Grant and party on
board, which was due yesterday afternoon.
UP to this hour the loolouts have been I'M
able to sight her, yet it is believed abe rumor
in circulation that she has been lost is purely
sensational, and it is argued that the steamer
may change her course and put into New
Orleans, as when gale from the northwest
prevails it is impossible for vessel to enter
this port. If it is possible for her to leave
her anchorage, the United States cutter Nc
Lean will go out on cruise tomorrow morn
ing in search of the steamer City of Mexico
and bark Reform.
General Ord and staff arrived on special
train from San Antonio last night to meet
Grant
[SIXTR DIsPATCH.l
4 GALVESTON, March 22d.-Nothing has yet
been heard of the steamer City of Mexico.
SEVENTH DIspATCH.l
CHICAGO. March 22d.--The inter Qcean's
Washington special says: No attention is
paid to the rumors which have been III circu-
latf6t here to-day that the vessel on which
the Grant party sailed from Vera Cruz has
been lost The Signal Office is in constant
communication with Galveston, and the oh.
server there telegraphed this afternoon that
the vessel was scarcely due. 1t is the belief
here the vessel was slow in getting off on
account of the ceremonies attendant upon
the departure of General Grant. and that
before tomorrow morning it will arrive in
safety.
EIGHTH DISPATCH.l
GALVESTON, March 22d- Midnight
Nothing has been heard from the steamer
City of Mexico. The agent of the Alexandre
line, to which she belongs, arrived from New
Orleans on Sunday, and says he thinks the
Captain did not go to sea from Tampico on
Saturday, owing to the rough weather. He
looks for her tomorrow.
NINTH DISPATCH
New YORK, March 22d.-The Sun says
J. Harry Alexandra, agent of the New York,
Havana and Mexico Mail Steamship Com
pany, stated to-day that the steamer City of
Mexico, with General Grant on board, is not
due at Galveston until tomorrow, and even
if she should not be heard from in three OF
four drys, he would have no fears, because
she may have been delayed, as she has been
before. Only few months ago the City of
Mexico was delayed several days. She is an
able vessel, and passed through heavier gales
than the one that has just prevailed on that
coast. Perhaps she did not sail from Vera
Cruz on the 18th, and even if she did she may
have been delayed at Tuxpampas.
