cent Marine Disasters.
SAN Francisco, June PA circular,
signed by A. G. Bingham, Mayor Of Marys-
vile, and G. E. sexey, President of the
Sacramento Valley Anti-Debris Associa-
ton, has been sent to the Hydraulic
Mining Companies, demanding, under the
recent decision, that after fifteen days no
more debris be run into the rivers on pain
of prosecution.
The bark Roswell Sprague. which took
fire, yesterday, soon after passing to sea
and towed back here and beached, will
prove a total loss. The vessel is valued at
$780, 900. The cargo is valued at SIS, 600.
Insurance unknown.
The Consular inquiry into the loss Of
the steamer Escambia has completed its
findings, which are that the disaster was
owing to the slowing down Of the engines
without the Captains orders while crossing
the bar, causing the ship to fall into a
trough and allowing seas to board her.
The Court does not think the vessel lacked
stability, though on that point the evil
dence is somewhat conflicting. The evil
dence shows the ship was properly loaded.
The Captain was exculpated. Loss of the
ship due to the perils of the sea.
