Record Kept By J. F. Shoemaker Dur. ing War Tells of the Loss of the Golden Gate Waverly-—Press despatches Tues- day stated that the attempt to recov- er the treasure from the steamer Golden Gate that sunk off the coast of Colima, an island lying to the west of Mexico, would have to be abandon- ed for the year, because the recent storm had wrecked a pier that has been constructed out to the wreck for the purpose of raising the large quantity of gold that remains in the old bulk. The despatches stated that the ship sank in July 1861 At the time of this occurrence J. F Shoemaker, Esq. of this place was a sargeant of Marines on board the United States war steamer, Saranac, that was then in the harbor of Pan- ama, the destination of the Golden Gate. The press despatches seemed inaccurate, and so he hunted up his diary which he kept at that time, and found from that the ship was lost in July, 1862 instead of 1861 The Gold- en Gate left San Francisco on July 22 and was due at Panama on August § The steamer failed to appear, and the diary goes on to relate how the anxiety Increased as the time passed Other boats that had left San Fran- cisco after the Golden Gate had salled came into Panama, and had no news of the ship that was subsequently found to have been lost. It was gen- erally feared that she had fallen In with some Confederate privateer and been captured, and the diary tells of the conference of the officers in re- gard to the matter, and how an old and unused steamer was being fitted out to carry passenger who were walt- ing to go to San Francisco The first news received of the {ll fated craft came on August 22 when the papers came from New York The boat caught fire while on the way down the coast and had been beached to save the crew and passen- gers, who numbered 337 The Adlary then goes on to tell how the Saranac visited the wreck on Feb 1, 1863, and again on Feb. 25, 1863, when a box containing $30,000 was recovered. The ship was again visited on April 5 of the same year for the last time The diary contains a very interest- ing account of the life on board from day to day. It also gives account of the visits of naval officers of other na- tions and of the salutes that were fired There is hardly a day's record in which the account of the firing of one or many salutes is not given, and great quantities of powder were burn- ed In the payment of compliments DRUNK AND DISORDERLY PAID TEN DOLLARS FINE.

A St Thomas (Danish Wast Indies) dispatch says that cables received from Jamaica report 1000 persons killed by the earthquake and fire and that 00,000 persons are homeless. The damage to Kingston aloue Is placed at fully $10,000,000 The report declares that all people have been warned te keep away from Kingston. The stench there Is describ ed as awful There is no fodder for animals, and famine is Imminent Money is useless. The banks have best burned. but the vaults are sup posed te be safe. The misery on all sides 1s Indescribable. Rich and poor alike are homeless. Provisions of all kinds are urgently needed. All the shops have been destroyed, and all the buildings In and around Kingston are in ruins. Very few only are safe to live In It is reported that an extinct volcano in the parish of Portland Is showing signs of activity The devastation would appear to have been confined to the vicinity of Kingston, one dispatch giving ten miles as the radius of damage. The rest of the island, Including Port An tonlo, does not seem to have suffered severely The estimates of dead range from 100 to 500, but with the exception of Sir James Fergusson and perhaps half a dozen other white men there is no mention of fatalities to foreigners. The American tourists who were at King- ston at the time, estimated at about 2.000 persons, would appear to be safe The estimates of persons injured is placed In the thousands. It is feared STREET SCENE IN KINGSTON that when the ruins of the eity are searched the list of casualties will be materially increased, A large majori- ty of the 30,000 population of Kingston Is black, and it Is probable that nearly all the casualties were among these people, Looting and disorder, including raids on rum shops by the blacks, followed the catastrophe, but prompt repressive mweusures restored order. Panic pre valls, however, especially as the earth shocks continue, and great oumbers of the city’s population have fied to the oeighboring. countryside. Food supplies are beginning to be urgently needed, and the demand on medical supplies bas exhaustedj the stock In hand. The fire that followed the disaster would appear to huve been confined to that section of the city bordering om the water frout. The Hames were sup posed to have been checked, but a later dispatch Indicates that they may have again broken out. The shipping In the harbor Is said to have escaped undamaged. Any reliable estimate of the property damage is impossible. It Is reported that the business section ls Ia ruins and that a large bank bullding and a big betel have been destroyed, while other messages say that almost all the bouses of the Jamaican capital have been destroyed and those in a radius of ten miles damaged. The very much more serious aspeet of the sitnation given by the messages received from Jamaica itself have not by offict t the conditions Im Jamaica sre serious thas was supposed is at tested by the fact that &« message re ceived at the state department in Washington said: “Kingston destroyed. Hundreds of lives loat.™ Oficial news of the disaster at King- ston has reached Washington from the American consul at Kingston, stat- ing that the city bad been destroyed and hundreds of lives lost and siating alse that food was badly wanted. It is assumed at the department that the vice and deputy cousul, William H. Orrett, at Kingston had sent the dispatch. It waa also regarded as pos- sible that the message might have come from Nicholas R. Suyder, the American consul at Port Antonio, ob the island of Jamaica. However, the dispatch was regarded as warranting the taking of instant measures for re lief. Indeed, the navy departinent bad been in advance in this matter, for wireless communication was previous ly established between the navy de partment and Admiral Evans, com- wmanding the Atlantic fleet at Guants namo, Cuba, and when Secrstary Root later Indicated the desirability of send- ing warships at once to the distressed island It turned out that Admiral Ev- ans bad anticipated the direction and had started on a torpedo boat destroy- er, the swiftest vessel in the Ameri- can fleet. for Kiagston. ordering two battleships to folléw him at once.

The message says “Kingston was overwhelmed by an earthquake Monday afternoon at 3:30. All the houses within a radius of ten miles bave been damaged, and almost every house In the city Is destroyed Fire broke out after the earthquake and completed the work of destruc tion. It is estimated that a hundred persons have been killed and a thou sand injured. The public offices aud hospitals are in ruins. Among the killed are Bir James Fergusson, many prominent merchants and professional men and a great many natives. The business quarter of Kingston is now a heap of smoldering ashes. We are thankful that our party is all right.” This dispatch from Sir Alfred Is practically ldentical with other mes- sages received from Kingston Direct dispatches from Port Antonio say that all the houses within a ra- dias of ten miles were injured and al most every house in the city of King- ston was destroyed Fire broke ont nfter the earthquake and completed the work of destruc- tion.
