The Merchants exchange has the fol-
lowing dispatch from Manzanillo: "The
steamer Colima is total loss. One
hundred and sixty passengers and crew
were lost. Twenty-one were saved.
Much bullion was lost"
Later reports say only meager and un-
satisfactory advices have been received
to-day regarding the founding the Pa
cific Mail steamer at Manzanillo, Mex,
last night The officials of the Pacific
Mail insist in the statement that they
have received no information of the
wreck of the steamer. and they have
tried to discredit entirely the state
ment of the disaster. Several dis
patches have been received by the |
Merchants exchange and by private |
shipping firms, all confirming the tale |
of the ocean tragedy. and varying only |
in the minute details of the informa-
ton. Captain Pitts Of the steamer |
San Juan telegraphs this morning that |
he had picked up a boat containing 10 |
persons, Ia of whom were passengers |
and five members of the Colima. The |
rescued boat load was taken to Man |
zanillo. and then the steamer San Juan |
started out again in search of other /
boats from the Colima, the presump- |
tion being that the balance of the pas |
sengers and crew were afioat in the /
other seven boats of the Colima-
The occupants of the boat picked up /
were as follows:

sumption being that they Joined the
