City Of Alexandria Destroyed and N
Number of Lives Lost.

HAVANA, Nov 1.-The steamship City
of Alexandria, belonging to the New YORK
and Cuba Mail Steamship Company. from
Havana and MatanZas, for New York, has
been burned off Cojimas. The news was
brought to this city early this morning
when a small boat, in which were the sec
ond officer and eleven other persons from
the Alexandria, entered the harbor and re-
ported the loss of the steamer. They say
that an explosion occurred yesterday after
noon on board the steamer, and shortly
after she was burning fiercely. The cause
of the explosion is unknown. The fire
gained such headway that Captain Hoh-
man saw it would be impossible TO save
the vessel and orders were given to aban-
don the ship. The steamer had four hun
dred hogsheads of sugar on board and
this when it caught fire, caused immense
masses of flames to ascend from the hatch
ways, the matches having been blown eff.
There was great excitement on board, but
the officials soon succeeded in restoring
order AS soon as the fire alarm sound
ed the crew went to their fire stations and
the stewards began to carry provisions to
the boats There was comparatively little
sea running and but slight difficulty was
experienced in lowering away the boats,
Wnen the DELL 1OrWaru tOlleu the signal
abandon the ship" The scene of the
burning steamer was only twenty-five miles
from Havana and the officer in command
of the boat had little fear of not reaching
that port or some other place along the
coast.
In the first moment of terror several r. en-
are said to have jumped into the
Those who arrived in the small boat said
that sixty had been drowned, many of
them through the upsetting of a boat.
Later reports show. however, that none of
the small boats upset and those at first
ported lost reached Barancola in safety.
The number drowned is now believed to be
twenty-five or thirty. When the news of
the disaster reached here number of tugs
were sent to the burning steamer to render
what assistance ti.y could. Two Of the
tugs returned br aging nineteen rescued
from the vessel.
The City of Alexandria was one of the
fastest and largest of the American ships
employed in the West Indies trade. She
was an iron screw steamer Of 2,4SO tons
burden. She was 3O7 feet long, and &c feet
in depth of hold She was built in 1879, by
John Roach & Sons, at Chester, Pa. Her en-
gines were of the compound type, the
