Telegraphic?American News.
New Yonx, May 8.?The agents of tho
Eaglo line say that Captain Thomas, of
the Schiller, was tire oldest commandor
in the line. He was for many years in
the employ of the Peninsula and Oriental
Company, and occupied a high place
among British sailors. Ho was with
great difficulty induced to leave the Bri?
tish service to enter that of tho Eagle.
Tho Schiller was one of tho newest and
best boats in tho trans-continental ser?
vice, large and strong, and constructed
on the latest pattern. She was built on
the Clyde, by Robert Napier A Sonp. Her
sister ship is tho Lessmg. These two
vessels left this port for home, densely
crowded, being the first to take advan?
tage of the opening of the spring travel
to Europe. They were the last two
steamers that sailed under the flag of the
Eagle line, whioh had been consolidated
with tho Hamburg-American line. Pre?
vious to the departure of the Schiller,
the company's vessels had gone out with
light passenger lists.
The Schiller is said to have been built
according to the requirements of the
Lloyd Marino Insurance Company, and
to have possessed every known appliance
for safety. She was valued at $700,000,
and was inBurod for her full value. Hsr
crew consisted of 12-1 men, including
officers. She carried six kegs contain?
ing $300,000 in gold, shipped by E. S.
Bollin & Co., bankers, of 2-1 Exchange
Plaoe, in this city, to F. S. Bollin A Co.,
Paris, and 250 mail bags, containing the
entire continental mail, together with a
large Australian mail. Her cargo con?
sisted of general merchandise, including
800 bales of cotton, 2,513 barrels of rosin,
?1,000 bushels of corn, and a large con?
signment of leaf tobacco. The officers
of the company in this city wore be?
sieged during the morning by friends of
those who sailed in the vessel, and tho
scenes of distress which resulted from a
confirmation of tho news that the vessel
had been lost, were pitiful to behold.
One man, who had a wife and two chil?
dren on board, fell into a fainting fit on
being informed of the fate of his family,
and loud wailings were to be heard on
all sides.
The latest despatch received at tho
office of tho agents of the Schiller, from
their office in Hamburg, is as follows:
"Keep strong hearts: more saved."
The following additional despatch has
been received from the agent at Ply
mouth: "The Schiller is a total loss.
The first, second and third officers, with
forty of the passengers and crew, are
known to be saved. Two steamers and
a life boat aro at the wreck. Names of
survivors unascertained. Will telegraph
same when obtained."
