TACOMA. Wash, Jan. 30.-Capt. Meyer Of tho
steamer Danube. which arrived to-day, fur
nishes the first details OF tho wreck of the steam
ship Corona on last Monday morning while
eniroute to Alaska. The steamship did not sink
in forty minutes. as first reported. but took six
hours to settle down. which convinced Capt.
Pearce, the Corona's master. that she was not
badly damaged and could be raised. The pas
sengers, especially twenty women aboard. were
panic stricken when she struck. Capt. Pearce
and the other officers succeeded in allayinR their
fears and all were soon safely landed on Lewis
Island.
All the horses and dogs were saved. together
with the bedding and hand baggage and much
light stun from outfits In the forward hold.
Many took their tents ashore. and a small can
vas town quickly grow upon the rocky shores of
Lewis Island. A bad storm came up on Monday
and was still raging when the Danube passed on
Wednesday. 1t was very cold and damp. and
tho passengers were suffering much from the
unaccustomed exposure. AL were compelled to
sleep on the ground with insufficient covering.
Strong men wept when they remembered that
their all was invested In the outfits lost In the
Corona's hold. They cannot reach the Klondike
now. The twenty-ton steamer Alaskan, plying
between WranRel and tho Stickine River. was
sunk ten days ago, fifteen passengers barely
escaping with their lives.

NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 30.-James Stewart &c
Co., tho contractors, who were closing Pass d
Loutre crevasse. have abandoned the work
until low water comes. The crevasse Is near
the mouth of tho Mississippi. and diverts SO
much water from the Eads jetties as to render
the task Of keeping twenty-six feet of water
through tho jetties difficult. At the request of
New Orleans and Mississippi Valley cities the
present Congress made an appropriation to
close the crevasse. The contract was awarded
to James Stewart & Co. of st. Louis. who had q
large force of men employed there. On Friday
q large part of the piling was swept away. and
the contractor. seeing that there was no chance
of closing the break in the present high stage
of the Mississippi. abandoned the work for the
present, and will not try 1t again until low
water.
The crevasse has proved very troublesome.
1t was closed several years ago by the Eads
heirs. but the piling was swept away in o big
storm.
