French Steamship Runs ON n Rock
on Cape COrrubesiO.
Cadiz. May 30 Particulars were re-
ce'ved here to-day of terrible dis
aster to the FreIch steamship Dom
Pedro, which has resulted in the loss
OF about 100 lives. The Dom Pedro
was n 3NOO-ton steamer and was en-
gagged in running between Havre and
the Argentine Republic. calling at
Bordeaux, France, and carries freight
and passengers. The latter were most
ly emigraDts bouLd for the Argentine
Republic or other ports Of South
America. On her return trips the
Dom Pedro was generally loaded with
frozen meat. She left Havre on May
% last. with a crew of 40 all told and
80 passengers. At Carril the steamer
was to have embarked 200 additional
passengers. But on her way to that
port she ran on rock at $40 p. m.
of Cape Corrubedo, on the west coast
Of Galicta. her boilers exploded and
the vessel foundered.
It is now stated that only the cap
tain of the Dom Pedro and twenty
nine of the crew were saved, which
would seem to indicate that all the
passengers were either killed by the
explosion Or drowned when the vessel
went down.
