STILL NO NEWS OF THE DANMABE.

THE MARGIN OF HOPE BECOMES NARROWER AS
STEAMERS ARRIVE WITH NO TIDdNGs.
None Of the steamers which arrived here yesterday
brought any dings Of the passengers Of the abandoned
steamship Danmark The theory generally supported
BY those who believe the passen gers were saved Is
that the Danmsrks passengers wore transferred to
some sailing vessel on Its way to this country or
Europe Ono OF the agents OF the company said yes
terday that the chances growing less for the
safety of the passengers that either they bad been
picked up by sailing vessel or small and slow
steamship. Yesterday the agents received dispatch
from Copenhagen inquiring whether the Denmark had
arrived here. She left London on March 30, and
1t is hoped that she has the DanmarRs passengers
on board. The Denmark was due here yesterday,
and tho fact that she was overdue gave grounds 70
some people for hoping that she had saved the Dan
marks passengers. The Helveda Is also overdue and
that is considered a hopeful sign. The City
Of Richmond ls expected to-day. AS this
steamer travelled the same route that Of her
sister-ship the City of Chester, which sighted the
abandoned steamer, IL is hoped that she may have
some news Of the Danmark's people Upon the hope
Of the missing passengers being safe, number OF
theories may be tructed Of the movements OF
ships now on the ocean, all In the bounds of posi-
bility but with every day that passes without It'd
ngs of the Danmarks passengers the chance of their
being saved grows painfully less.
Tho Santiago, from Huh, arrived at Quarantine at
IL 10 o'clock last night but had heard seen moth
ing of the Danmark her passengers. She passed
the Denmark or the Banks but did not hail her, and
saw no unusual number Of passengers aboard. II
the Denmark had news. she would doubtless have
told the Santiago.
