The Orecon's Passengers.

NEw York, March !6 The committee
of the Oregon's passengers appointed at
Yesterdays meeting to take steps to re-
cover the value Of their property, called at
the Cunsrd Line Office this morning and
left q statement of their grievances. The
diver, who visited the wreck yesterday,
found one bale Of cotton and one case of
dry goods. The Merritt Coast Wreckipg
Company will make a report in regard to
raising the wreck Of the Oregon, but as she
lies in I2O feet of water it is hardly thought
probable that the steamer will be raised,
The cargo, engines and the valuable parts
of the vessel, however, will be brought to
the surface.
