NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Duriug hurrI-
cane which prevailed on the Atlantic
yesterday steamship Portuguese of the
Red Cross line fouudered. 1t is estimated
ten lives were lost. Agents have dis
patches stating nineteen were saved.
There were about thirty persons aboard
The rest went down. The Portuguese
sailed from here for Para on August II
with miscellaneous cargo valued al
500. 900 by agents. On August % she
cleared Hampton Roads. Just after that
came hurricane. These con-
tinued and were more than the vessel
could stand. She pitched and rolled and
finally sprung leak. For day
or two the men were able to cope with
the leak. Capt. Hughes, who COM
manded the ship kept them hard ~
work, but TO no avail. The awful
strains to which the vessel was sub
jected made the holes in
her sides larger, the water poured
in until good part of her csrgo
was destroyed. The fires were likely to
be extinguished at any moment. The
vessel commenced 10 settle Yesterday.
The captain ordered the men to lower
away the life boats. This was near St.
seas were running extremely high. II
seemed impossible to live in the storm,
but it was preferable to going in
whirlpool which would soon be caused
by the vessel sinking. The Gu tain sent
two thirds of the crew in Que boat, and
with his officers manned the other. At
first the boats were picked up 10y the
rushing waters and separated. In
few moments the steamship
lurched forward and disappeared with
rushing sound. a cloud OF steam arose
above her and the vessel had gone down
for good. The crew saw the captain and
officers for a moment. Their boat was
perched on top of a big wave. Nothing
since has been seen or heard of the cap
tans or his companions. This is a par
tial list of the missing: Capt. Frederick
Hughes, First Mate Thomas S. Haytou,
Second Mate j NJ. Potts, Third Mate
G.. B. JOINER and Chief Engineer Ed

Dix and his assistant are yet 10 be aC-
counted for. The Portuguese belonged to

at 500, 600. She was due at Para to-
day.

morning for Denver, Col. This
was Mr.. Nswman's first visit
to Texas, and in conversation with

agreeably surprised at what he found
here. The gentleman had visited ST.

form clear and fair opinion of our city.
