terday morning found packet con-
tanning the papers of Purser Rooney.

Surveyor of the Port Spear has es
tablished a patrol along the ocean
near Baken's beach and along the Bay
shore inside Fort Point Thus far his
men have picked up four mail bags
The surveyor has given orders that all
fishing boats must report at the GUS
toms office and that all bodies brought
in by them, all wreckage and flotsam
picked up by the fishermen must be
accounted for to the officials at the
barge office. In this way it is thought
footing Of the mail bags and trunks
may be stopped. Among other effects
picked up by the fishermen was a box
containing Capt. Wards papers. The
police have established { patrol out
side of the beach south of Fort Win
field Scott
The value of the cargo of the Rio De
JaneirO has not been determined,
owing to the absence of important
papers, but it is variously estimated
from 100000 to $500, 900 The cargo
consisted principally Of silk, tea, rice
and other oriental products. There
was no treasure aboard as at first re-
ported.
OF 200 sacks of mail only IL have
come to the surface. An inyestiga-
ton into the loss of the steamer will
probably be held this week. Graham
Coghlan, the senior surviving officer
of the i'll fated vessel, called on Cap
tain BOles yesterday to report. He
was instructed to make a statement
