San Francisco. Feb. 23.-The sinking
of the Pacific Mail steamer city OF Rio
de Janeiro, after striking rock III
the Golden Gate during the dense fog'
Friday morning, was the most appali'
ing disaster this coast has known for
many years. Most of the bodies of the
100 and more victims are at the bot
tom of the sea, and many CT them
may never be recovered. The water
where the ship lies is deep and the
| current swift, and the dead, with
most of the wreckage, will probably
be carried far out into the Pacifi e.
The number Of lives lost may never
be known exactly, owing to the fact
that the shil's records were lost, and
it is practically impossible to tell just
how many Chinese were in the
Asatic stcerage.
The Call, ba ing it, figures on state
ments of the Pacific Mail officials. says
that 1872 persons pc shed, tie Chroni-
Gle gives the number at 12S and the
Examiner states that III can not be
accounted for. The vessel, with its
valuable cargo, will be a total loss
