Nui-lher- 1 al Strat ge Steamer Derke), All on Board Heiug Lout. St. Louis, Jan 14. The following comprise all the details regarding the wreck in St. Mary's hay that could be obtained up to midnight: The ship is a steamer of nearly 3.0; mj tons, and probably carried a crew of sixty, with possibly seme passengers. She went ashore before daybreak on Thursday, striking a ledge at the foot of the cliff, where escape was hopeless. The crew launched the boats, but probably during the panic some were crushed against her side, others being swamped, all the occupants apparently perishing. The ship was seen to be on fire by residents six miles away. Attracted tc the scene, they found the after half ol the wreck blazing fiercely and the fore part under water. Kerosene in the cargo helped the blaze. At that time only three men were left onboard. Two were on the bridge and one was in the rigging. Those on the bridge were safe until about 2 p. m., when they were washed overboard and drowned, the bridge being carried away. The survivor soon after left the rigging, swam to the rocks and twice endeavored to get a footing. Failing in this, he made his way back to the riggiug, where he died of exposure during the night. Many dead bodies are visible, tossing iu the surf. Two of them thrown up iu a cove cannot he readied owing to the heavy sea. One is thought to be that of a woman. two-mast- NEW MEXICO BLIZZARD. Thousands of Animals Perish in a Storm in New Mexico. Alamogordo, N. M., Jan. 14. Details of a blizzard which swept over southwestern New Mexico Tuesday and Wednesday are just coming in, and they indicate that it was the severest storm ever experienced in the region. A stretch of territory fifty miles in width, with White Oaks and Nogal for the center, seemed to suffer the most, although the severity of the storm was fully felt throughout the Sacramento mountain region. The velocity of the wind was terrible; all roads and trails were obliterated, and the driving snow made it impossible for travelers to see their way in the storm. When the storm abated, wagons which had been abandoned were found strewn all over the section. Several fatalities are reported, including the driver of the White stage. It is feared that many sheepherders have lost their lives. Thousands of head of stock perished, and it is believed that tlie loss will aggregate over half a million dollars. Oaks-Lin-col- n TO RELIEVE LADYSMITH. Buller Now Within Fourteen Mile of Iteleaared Town. the London, Jan. 14. General Buller's dispatch announcing his forward movement is interpreted as meaning that he has passed around the western end of the 15oer lines at Colenso anil is now several miles behind them, and within fourteen miles of General White's outposts at Ladysmith. The Boers, a few days ago, had forces with guns at Springfield, where General Buller dates his dispatch. These cornmandes have evidently been dislodged, either by fighting or by maneuvering, the Boer retiring across the Tugela as General Buller advances. From General Buller's dispatch, and the fact that unofficial intelligence from the seat of war has virtually ceased since Monday, the deduction is drawn that important operations are in progress, as he cannot move far without going against the Boer intrench meats.
