LOSS OF THI STEAMSHIP COLIMA.
San Francisco, May 30. The steam
ehip Colima, with 182 persons aboard,
including the passengers and crew,
foundered off the coast of Mexico on
- Monday. Fourteen passengers and five
members of the crew reached Manzan
illo, Mexico, yesterday, and ' gave the
first information of the vessel's fate.
Whether the remainder of the passengers
and crew escaped in small boats or went
down with the ship is not known. Defi
nite, bat meager information of the dis
aster was received at 12 o'clock last
night by R. P. Scbwerin, general mana
ger end vice president of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, to which cor
poration the steamer belonged.
A telegram informed Mr. Schwerin
that a boat containing fourteen passen
gers and five members of the crew of the
steamer reached Manzanillo yesterday,
and gave the information that the Col
ima had foundered the day before not
far from that port.
The names of the passengers and sea
men in this boat were not given in the
dispatch. Neither was there any in
formation about the remainder of the
passengers and crew.
( - The Colima sailed from San Francisco
on the 18th inst., for Panama and way
ports. She carried 112 passengers, forty
in the cabin and thirty-six whites and
forty-six Chinese in the steerage. The
officers and crew numbered 79, making
in all 182 people on board the steamer.
Alexander Center, general agent of the
company, savf be is confident that other
boats will come in, bat if there was any
k loss of life it will be impossible to give a
. ,t Jist of the dead, as on ber way down the
vessel doubtless picked up other passen
gers in addition to those she took from
this city.
' Later Advlcs.
San Francisco, May 29. The Pacific
Mail company has received advices stat
ing that the steamer San Jaan picked up
a boat containing 21 people and landed
them at Manzanillo. The San Juan
after landing the survivors put back in
search of any other boats containing pas
sengers who might be drifting about.
Officials of the company cannot explain
the disaster in the absence of details.
The company's theory is that an earth
quake threw up a reef and that the
Colima ran against it. The office of the
Mail Company was crowded this morn
ing with anxious inquirers seeking news
of the disaster and trying to learn the
names of the survivors.
The Merchants' Exchange has the fol
lowing message from Manzanillo : "The
steamer Colima is a total wreck. One
hundred and sixty ef her passengers and
crew were' drowned and 21 were saved.
Much bullion is lost. j

the river opposite Booth's cannery and
capsized. .The boat bad but a single oc
cupant, and be managed to keep above

the street-car track to the cannery prop
erty collapsed. Eight men were precip

five feet in depth. All escaped without

Eastern Oregon' Crop Reports.
Weather : General and heavy rains
have prevailed daring the past week, es
pecially on Saturday and Sunday. The
heaviest rainfall occurred in northwest
ern Umatilla county, where it amounts
to 1 inches, from whence it decreased
in amount, westward to The Dalles,
where it amounts to only 0.15 of an inch,
and southward over the Blue mountains ;
at Baker City three-quarters of an inch
fell in the Grande Bonde valley; in
Morrow, Gilliam and and Sherman
counties nearly an inch has already fallen
and more will fall before the present
weather condition changes. The tem
perature became cooler daring the past
week; The maximum ranged from 56 to
74 deg., as against 70 to 88 degrees of the
week before ; the minimum ranged from
42 to 50 degrees in the Columbia river
valley, while to the south of the Blue
mountains it ranged from 28 to 52 deg.,
the freezing temperature 28 degrees,
occurred on the 22d, which caused a kill
ing frost in Baker, Grant, Crook, Har
ney, Klamath, Lake and Malheur count
ies. Clouds have prevailed during the
past week and the result has been a de
ficiency in the amount of sunshine. The
mountains of Morrow and Grant counties
were covered with newly-fallen snow the
morning of the 21st.
Cbopb: The rainfall has been of the
greatest benefit to the grain crop, and
insures bounteous crops, barring possible
hot winds in June. The wheat crop of a
large portion of several of the counties is
either spring sown or volunteer; both
require the best of climatic condition
to produce good yields ; the year of 1894
bad a large acreage of summer-fallowed
grain and plowing is now in pro
gress for summer-fallow this year again,
hence the more than ordinary anxiety
for the success of the grain crops this
year and the need of rainfall. Some cor
respondents of Morrow county have re
ported poor wheat prospects, bat now
since the rain, the prospects have im
proved. In Sherman, which is almost
all a wheat county, wheat has an ex
cellent outlook, and all are encouraged.
The grain crop is of more than average
condition in Wasco county, while in
Umatilla county the present proepects
were never better; the same in the
Grand Bonde valley. Fall grain is
heading, and spring and volunteer grain
are growing finely; ' At the present time
conditions are all that could be expected.
The correspondent at Hood River re
ports : "Hood River is now harvesting
the biggest and best strawberry crop in
ber history; the bulk of shipments
went to Montana during the past week."
New potatoes of local growth made
their appearance at The Dalles on the
24th inst. The frost of the 22d inst., did
some damage to frnit south of the Blue
mountains. The correspondent at Day-
ville, reports that "beans, melons, to
matoes and potatoes froze, ' and even
leaves on two young cherry trees were
shriveled by the frost ; There was a thick
coating of ice." Crickets are reported
as being very plentiful in Malheur and
Harney counties, - where they have
damaged vegetation. . Sheep shearing
continues and heavy fleeces are secured
