San Francisco. April 15.-The i'm
preston that the American ship Sa-
maria. from Seattle for San Francisco,
coal-laden, has gone to the bottom,
grows stronger day by day as no
tidings come from the overdue vessel.
The Alcade which left Seattle stimuli
taneously with the Samaria, arrived in
this port April 2. The Alcades master
says that on March % he encountered
terrible southeast gale, and after
being in company with the Samaria
four days, the vessels unintentionally
separated. The Alcade took in her
sails, but the Samaria did not reef her
canvas. The Samaria was laden so
deeply in the water that the seas broke
over her and she wallowed badly in
the trough of the sea. The Alcade had
hard work saving herself and only es-
capped from the fury of the storm by
throwing out oil bags, which moderated
the force of the sea Immediately about
her. On the following day the wind
moderated, but there was no sign of
the Samaria. Much wreckage was
drifting about and the Alcade's officers
saw a set of ships steps and corpse
tangled in a mass of ropes, which
drifted astern. The Alcades captain is
confident that the Samaria and all her
crew are at the bottom Of the sea.
