There is very little hope of any addition being made to lite'list of survivors. On Saturday afternoon the steamer encountered a heavy gale which soon increased in fury and at ono o'clock Sunday morning it was found neces sary to throw out a drag to help her head about. This sacured the desired result for the time beiug , but the gale had now ' flUOWtf TO A IICRRH'ANK , and immense wavps bcuan breaking over the doomed ship. E ch succeed ing wave toro away pieces of her upper work until her deck w.ia finally swept clean , even the rigging being torn and shattered. The drag ceased to fulfill its function * , and as the Boas nse over her bows and deluged her decks they soon reached the furnaces and extinguished the fires. The hatches having been torn from their fastenings by the bil lows and the fires bein ; * out , a stop was put to the engines and the "City of Vera Orua" LAY AT THE MEKCY OP THE WAVES. The donkey pump couldnot bo worked to relieve the vessel of the water she was rapidly making In her hold. In this extremity , Captain VanSice or dered his men to throw overboard the deck load , but the sea was too heavy to permit the crew to carry out his or ders , for while thus engaged several of the men were carried off their feet by the incoming sea , .ind many of them were washed overboard. Capt. Van Sice and his officers acted most cour ageously in the performance of their several duties , but were ono by one washed overboard from their stations. As near as can bo ascertained the cap tain perished nearly an hour before thu vessel really succumbed , and as nearly all the hands were lost tha few remaining alive on board now saw no hope , BO they took to the life-pro- aervers. Every life-boat and raft had disappeared , having been steve in when the top hamper went by the board. The sailors and passengers then seized fragments of spars , state room doors , or any other movable ar ticle that would float , and AWAITEIl THE END which all knew to be at hand. The surviving sailors state that the vessel was about 30 milea off shore at the time , the hurricane being one of terrible fury. By the time the ship was wrecked , the men and women had equipped themselves with their impromptu buoys. The final castastropho occurred with an AWFUL AND TRKMENDOUS LUKCI1 , the eteamcr suddenly sank in the ocean , the swirl carrying down many of the living of the seventy souls on board before the storm began. Only thirteen have reached hnd alive. These thirteen are all men , three of them passengers , eight deck hands , one engineer and one oiler. They were all in the water from 2-1 to 20 hours and there ia no doubt but for this ordefil many moro would have been paved , as several persons perished after the foundering of the vessel throrgh exhaustation. One of the passengers paved was a young man who does not wish his name published , but it ia learned he was a companion of Gen. Torbert. TUB BODIES OF TI1K VICriJIS came on shote fifty miles south of St. Augustine ; among them waa the body of Gen. Torbert. The bodies of two of the steerage passengers , tlirea fe males and four men , have also been found and all have been buried. One of th"e bodies was that of a gray-haired man , and mar his body one of a woman was found , that of n young girl. So far it has been impossible to identify any of these bodies except that of Gen. Torbert. The masts and portions of the gunwales of the steamer are scattered on the beach where the bodies were discovered. The trunk found contained a quantity of children's clothing and some play thing * .

The leas of the steamship "City of Vera Cruz" ia fully confirmed by spe cial dispatches. The story of the terrors preceding the foundering of : ho vessel , which WOT wrecked and ; wisted aparE by the terrible aeas , lava been forwarded from St. Angus- tine. Mr. Talbot , a seaman , gives a most thrilling narrative of the steam ship's battle with the hurricane , the crushing of the large hosts and the maiming and drowning of their load , and his own struggle for life , for twenty-six hours , before reaching land. All officers except the quarter master and etmatant and tbo fourth and aecond assistant engineers , and the rest of the oh'p'a company forty- two in all , have perished ; the loss of life , therefore , ia sixty-eight or sixty nine. nine.Tho The following account ia i 5von by Talbot. He says : About thirty milea otf shore we bean to ship heavy sea ? , and water was found in the hold. As fast as we could clear her she fi'led ' again by another heavy sen. This state of things soon made the fires burn low , and wo could not mike steim enough to keep head on the wind. Wo then put out a heavy drag forward , and managed to keep her into the wind. Everj thing was in a panic ; the life boats were cut loose rea y for action , and att hands wore supplied with life preservers. At day light on Sunday boats wore lowered and manned. They no sooner got their cargo than they wore overturned and smashed to atoms against the steamer , all hands being swept away or their lives dashed out against the vessel's sides. Boat after boat was clashed to pieces in the same manner ] until only a few of the passen gers would venture to leave the steamer. The captain and officers lost their lives in one of the boats. At half past 5 in the morning a heavy sea struck the steamer "forward ant crushed her fore and aft. All firts and lights were put out and every- thklg V.MS in a perfect bedlam ; people screaming and screeching for help on all sidea. The steamer was broken in two , and after a few surges she KOUXDEP.El ) ANl ) WENT DOWN , carrying with her all who were on board. When I arose to the surface I could see , now and then , pieces of drift stutf , ami sometimes ono or two men. The women made no effort to siva themselves and were drowned. lu my sfcht , a mother and d ughter were clasped to each other during the gale , and they came ashore that way drowned. From that time , till 4 in tha afternoon , I could occasionally see ono or two men as thi-y rrso upon the ciest of a wavo. It was useless to try to hold onto any thing , as the sea would tear it from your grasp and ilraw you two or three fathoms under thu surface , and when requiring it , you would hiivo to grasp someth'iig else I was compelled to dive Jor dodge many pieces of drift stuff , which would have killed mo if I were hit bv them. After 4 o'clock , I saw none. I camenshoro on the Flora - a coast about 7:30 : on Alnnday morn ing , hiving beun about twenty-six hours in the water. I soon found my other companion ? , as we all came aahoro about the sanv time , although some distance apart. One of our number swam from the wreck without the aid of a lift ) preserver. Ho was entirely nude and came ashore first. Wo are all moro or less bruised from the striking and buffeting of the seas aud driftwood. Sir. A K. Owen , a passenger , tclla a story from notes made since landing which does not differ materially from that of Talbot. The deck load , con sisting of cars for Mexico , cans of oils , etc. , were cast overboard It was very difficult to move about without clinging to some support. Everything In the = abin was thrown from port to starboard. During the evening , water poured through the windows and main saloon and state rooms wore filled with water. Passengers cheered and encouraged each other and all manifested great coolness. At 2 a. m. a heavy sea extinguished the fires and stopped the engine. The dummy engine was put to work and continued until the steamer went down. A person came down and said the captain wanted assistance and all hands went up and passed buck ets of water for au hour or more. It was of no use , as the sea was con stantly coming in. All hopes were now abandoned and passengers be gan to put on life preserveis. At 4:12 : n. m. a tremendous set swept over us throwing passengers and furn iture into one mass. Soon after the port side waa carried away by another wave and the passengers then all gathered in the hall , exchanging last farewells and words of encourage ment and adjusting life preservers. All wera wonderfully cool under the circumstances. I advised them to stay until the ship sank. Juat before 12 a. m. the captain was seen. I do not know whether he was washed overboard or left the ship. The second end mate and one or two seamen were killed while attempting to lower a boat. The first engineer and his as * siatanta remained at their posts till the ehip sank. The quartermaster and a sailor remained at the wheel till the last. At G a. m. the ship parted amidships , and in an inatant she was filled with debris of all de scriptions ; dashing together and mangling and killing unfortunate aail- < nt , Men , wpmen and children acd 32 3u.

The force of the wind was so terrific that heavy planks were raised out of the water and fell on drowning people , killing and mangling them. lu fif ten minutes more than halt the people wore dead or dying.

President Hayes and party were given a reception at Cheyenne to day , and will reach hero to-morrow. The mayor and city council appointed com mittees and leanred a special train for Ogden , and made the necessary ar rangements for the reception , ad- viaing the president by tele graph on the 25th of August. Gov. Murray alao took the matter in hand and appointed committees of re caption and arrangements but in cluded no Mormons. Last evening the mayor received a telegram from the president saying he would bo the guest of the governor not of the city. The result is that the municipal authorities are very indignant and have concluded to pay no attention to the Hayes party , not oven to the extent - tent of calling on the president. As the news spread through the city that the president declined the hospitality and civilities of the municipality the Mormons assumed that they were snubbed and insulted , and now say they will stay at homo or attend to their ordinary bus iness during the visit , showing the president no respect. The Gentiles are jubilant , though they fear they can not get up a very imposing demonstra tion if the Mormons refuse to partici pate. The president will , on Monday , viait Fort Douglas where a banquet ia being prepared , and hold a reception in this city on Monday afternoon , and in the evening will leave for San Francisco _ _ Base Ball.
