      Cleveland, Oct. 25. -- The steamers CENTURION and PONTIAC have been sent in search of the steamer KALIYUGA among the Georgian Bay Islands. The KALIYUGA passed Sault Ste. Marie last Thursday and entered Lake Huron before the great gale broke. Since that time nothing has been heard of the steamer. It is believed that she is in shelter disabled under some of the Georgian Bay Islands. The KALIYUGA carries a crew of 18 men. She is a wooden boat of the old style construction and belongs to the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Mining Co.

      LITTLE DOUBT OF KALIYUGA'S LOSS.
      Wreckage From Missing Steamer Sighted -- Had Crew of 17.
      Detroit, Oct. 28. -- Wreckage from the missing steamer KALIYUGA, sighted by the steamer LILLIE SMITH on Lake Huron, established apparently beyond a doubt, that the ship foundered in the great gale of last Thursday. The SMITH, which arrived at Port Huron yesterday, reported that she passed wreckage consisting of a pilot house painted dark yellow outside and white inside; also a part of a cabin painted yellow, together with other parts of a steamer. The wreckage was found about 40 miles south of Cove Island, on the course between the island and Fort Gratiot.
      That the wreckage is from the KALIYUGA is not doubted, as the color corresponds with that of the Cleveland Cliffs fleet, to which the lost steamer belonged. From its location it would indicate that Capt. Tonkin was trying to reach the friendly shelter of Georgian Bay when the ship was carried to the bottom of lake Huron with her crew of 17.
