NEW YoRK, Jan. 23.-Many INQUIRIES
today at the Office of the agents of the
lost steamer Cimbria after relatives sup-
posed to be on board. A woman, who
did not give her name. called to ask for
man named Compoler. She was told
he was among the saved. A member of
the firm of Robe Bros, general proyis-
ion merchants in this city, stated they
had dispatch from Hamburg, saving
their ageLt, Alfred Forght, was a first
cabin passenger and was saved. Chas.
Strauss, also of this city, has dispatch
from Darenstata in answer to his in
quiry stating that Maurice Saapo did
sail on the Cimbria. Herman Graft, a
shoemaker OF Brooklyn, inquired for his
ssster-in-law, Caroline Sch1idt, aged 80.
who was On the lost vessel with three
children, on her way to Buffalo. No in
formation cou.d be given him. Max.
Newma, also of Brooklyn. inquired for
Clara Eelin, his sister law, who had
been on a visit to Gsrmrny and was ex-
pected to sail on the Cimbria. Nothing
ls yet known about her. Mrs. Irene
Myer, of this city, inquired for Meta
Myer, her sister-in- law. She believed
Martha Mver in the list of drowned is
her relative, but ascertained the latter
would come from Bremen. 1t is thought
hardly likely she would sail from Ham
burg. The sister-in- law of Oscar Ette-
tenetts called to state that her brother
expected to remain in Germany until
spring, and she thinks the person re-
ported as lost must have been another
of the same name. The following dis
patch was received this afternoon at the
Office of the company: 1.-The steamer
sent out in search of the Cimbria boats
has returned. They report no trace of
survivors"
