LIST OF LOST AND SAVED.


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23.-The
sinking II the Pacific Mail steamer Rio
de Janeiro. after striking a rock in the
Golden Gate during the dense fog yes
lerday morning, was the most appall-
Ing disaster this coast has known for
wears. Most Of the bodies Of the 120
and more victims are at the bottom Of
the sea and many Of 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 Pacific.
The number OF lives lost may never
be known exactly. owing to the fact
that the vessels records were lost and
it is practically impossible TO tell just
how many Chinese were in the Asiatic
steerage. The Call this morning, bas-
ing It's lgures on statements Of Pacific
Mail officials. says that 122 persons per-
sned. the Chronicle gives the number
at l2S and he Examiner states that
III cannot be accounted for.
The vessel with its valuable cargo will
be a total loss. Much difficulty has
been experienced in obtaining the
names Of the passengers and crew, but
the following list OF those known to
have been drowned and those saved are
believed 20 be accurate.
