New Youk, September 3.?A special from St. Augustine, I-lu? gives the following: "'J'liere is very little doubt the sieamcr Cityo) Vera Cruz, of the .Mexican line, which willed from New York on the?)lh of August, for Haviinil and Vera 'ruz, went down in the recent hiiiTiciine, wlili :i lias already strewn ourcoust Willi wrecks. Only tlie faintest hopes remain thai.any of her passengers huvoMirvl veil. This terrible discovery was inatlo known here yesterday, when portions of tin* mail carried by the ill-fated vessel were washed ashore, some miles south of this city. One mail ban contained letters for Cutea and Mexico which had been posted in Paris, France on Aumist 1:1th, and another lot was found witli envelopes bearing the post mark New York August 2Hli. This at once Indicated that the Inst vessel was a mail steamer, bound for Southern ports, and the surmise was that it must have been the Cily of Vera Cruz, as she left New York on the day last named." Thus far six bodies have been wasned ashore together with n largciimouiitof miscellaneous ini>ri>iit>ii<Mui< i Mm of tlu< bodies was that Of a middle-iced lady, but thorn wasnothlngabout her that would load to her identification, another body was that of a child four years old. OtherH were sailors with I he exception of one who was dreused like a well to do business man. lie looks like a Spaniard. It Is feared that tho terrific gale that has raised here for the past week made It impossible for any of those on the Ill-fated steamer tosave themselves, even were they able to do so. The shoro | fo*- milcK Is strewn with nieces oftimber, boxes barrels and other debris. Wrecking parties have been organ lzed, and everylhlng of value Is being stored In astore house on Malnstrcet. The lost steamer was one of tho strongest In I the world. She was on tho dry dock proviouH lo her last trip, The vessel is worth $200,000., , Insured In I/ttidou and America. Many rcla| lives uml friends of passefigersare at her office awaiting Information. Capt. F. liarrls, who commanded the steamer on her previous voyage, was on hoard. First otllcer James Flnckley.of the steamer Xrw Orlcanx, which encountered the gale in which the T-Vra Crui Is supposed to have been lost, said to-day that his vessel ran Into the hurrlcuino on tne2Hth at. P, M, off tho coast of Florida. The storm was from the north and east., The vessel was struck on her port side and heaved over on her beam ends. Four men wero at the wheel all the time. It was Impossible for a man to stand on deck. The vessel lor a long time was at the mercy of the wind and sea: The storm abated on the 20th, He knows nothing aboiit tho IVm Cruz, though ho thinks she must have encountered the same galo.
