John Birmingham, agent of The
California and Mexican STEAMSHIP
Company, has received advicei
from Mazatlan giving the particu'
lars of terrible hurricane that Wis.
tied that port Sept. goth. United
States Consul e. @. Kelton, Biz.
minghsm's correspondent, says:
ION the goth ult. we had regular
hurricane, lasting from noon to
sunset. The Sonora was taking Ia
.coal and had to put to sea with
twelve tons. A lighter went
ashore and was broken up. The
German bark Caroline, with wines
and groceries to Pena & Co., had
discharged about fifty tons when
she went ashore and was broken
up. The cargo 10 saved though
greatly damaged. The American
schooner Theress dragged on to the
the storm. The crew remained in
the rigging all night, and the
sea breaking over the vessel washed
the deck load away. The Sara.
gossa, moored in the inner harbor
receiving cargo, broke loose, and
carrying away the wharf fetched
upon the beach. She was got off
next day uninjured. Great dam
age was done to houses by the hur.
ricane, coming as it did after the
powder explosion and the unusual
ly wet season, and the greater part
Of the houses show signs Of falling
in. The river rose, and it is said 500
lives have been lost in the neigh
boring towns from freshets. At
Rosario the water came into the
town. The Tsjo mine has 200 feet
OF water In tho main shaft, and
two feet of mud In the mill. 1t
will take q month to pump out the
mine II no accident occurs to the
pumps, which are now fifty teet
under water. Three hundred
houses of all classes have been de-
stroyed.
