London, Oct. IS. - The Atlantic
Transport companys steamer Mohe.
gan. formerly the Cleopatra, OF the
Wilson and Furness-Leyland line,
which loft London for New York with
City passengers and n crew Of $50, Is
ashore of the Lizard, between the
Manacles and the lowlauds.
According to a dispatch just received
from Falmouth, out Of 800 persons,
constituting the passengers and crew
Of the Mohegan, only thirty.ono have
been saved.
Particulars Of the disaster arc difi.
cult to obtain. 1t appears that when
the Mohcgan struck, gale was blow.
ing and the sea was running high.
Lifeboats put of from the Lizard and
from Falmouth, one returning filled
with passengers Several were drown.
cd. however, II Is reported, on the pas.

Another lifeboat saved six persons.
The coast at that point is extremely
dangerous and has been the scene of
numerous wrecks. Some years ago
there was movement set on foot 10
&c, lightship placed there, but Il
failed.
A dispatch from Falmouth says the
Mohegan foundcred and was probably
blown ashore by the heavy east wind
after her machinery was disabled. All
the Falmouth tugs went out, but none
were able TO approach the vessel.
A coast guard message reports that

rho Cause Of the sad Disaster Remains
Iutnown.

London. oct 1.-THE Atlantic Trans
port company has ISSUED the following
statement regarding the fate Of the
passengers and the crew Of the steamer
Mohegan. which was wrecked last FRI
day evening of the Lizard. between
the Manacles and the Lowlands;
"of the passengers, II have been
saved, 10 bodies have been recovered
and 80 are missing OF the crew and
cattlemen, 80 have been saved, ~ bodies
have been recovered and Of are miss
ing"
Since this statement wns issued. nine
other bodies have been picked up, in-
Guiding two that have been identified
as those Of passengers
The rcports Of the various cores
pondents differ widely ~ to the res
cues, rccovorics and losses, though
none has been able 20 obtain the exact
number Of those saved or OF the bodies
recovered.
The cause Of the disaster remains
the profoundest mystery. Nobody at
temps 10 explain how the MohcRan got
10 far north Of her true coursc-from
six TO seven miles. There was no fog
ut the time. while the wind ON her
port quarter was not sufficient to pre-
vent her answering the helm. IL has
been suggested that her compass was
faulty, but daylight lasted long after
Eddystone light was passed. Sailors
say the fact that the Lizard light was
not visible should have served to give
the alarm.
The masts OF the Mohcgan, which
are above water. show that her stern
is landward, causing theory that the
navigation officer, on discovering that
he was In the bay, suddenly turned
seward. Two engineers, who were
saved declare, however, that they never
slackened speed.
The crew, In chivalrous effort e
save the women, made the mistake Of
undermining the boats. There were
only four sailors In one boat, which
eapsized as soon as II was launched.

the United States were invested with

that they admittedly could not tolerate

Notwithstanding these striking OBJ

declared that the United States cannot
