Confined suspense A. to Facts.
New YoRK. April 15.-None of the
vessels which arrived in port brought
any news Of the fate of the passengers
of lie abandoned steamer Danmark.
The Amsterdam, from Rotterdam, and
Ia Champagne, from Havre. both re-
ported heavy weather. The Amsterdam
passed the spot where the City of Ches-
ter had the day before sighted the Dam
mark, but nothing was then visible.
!. Tie Amsterdam brings 81 cabin and 43S
steerage passengers. Ia Champagne
brings 81 cabin and 500 steerage passen-
gers
IN spite of the reasonable hope in the
Office Of Tunch, Edge a. Co., in South
William street and the general passen-
ger Office az the Thingvalla Steamship
company, in State street, that the pas
sengers and crew of the Danmark have
been picked mp ans saved by some pass
ing vessel, the gloom of waiting for news
gradually overspread every face as the
day wore away without bringing any
word Of the castaways.
The Britannia brought in her mails the
long looked for lists of the Danmark's
passengers. They include the names Of
all who boarded the vessel in Copen-
hagen and IN Christiana, but not those
who embarked at Christiansand. The
list Of their names was ON the wrecked
vessel. II perchance her passengers are
lost II may never be known who those
100 were.
The moment of relief came when the
steamship Island came in. She is a sis
ter ship 10 the Danmark, and left Chris
tiansand only four days later. Coming,
as she was expected to, over the same
route, there was good reason to suppose
that Size might have the imperiled voy-
ayers on board. No one was surprised,
therefore, when the report came from
Quarantine that the Island had the Dan
marks passengers on her. The news
was carried at once to the general pas
seneer Office Of the company and To
Punch, Edge q Go. Everybody shook
hands with everybody else, and for a
moment they were happy. 1t was con-
tradicted in a moment or two, and again
began the weary waiting.
lie island got 70 ner pier IN E0D0ken
about O'Clock, but she brought no news
of the Danmark or her passengers. Capt.
Skjodt said he had sailed little south
of the usual course. All day long there
were anxious inQuirers lettering about
the conlpany's Office In Castle Garden and
In the ship news Office, but few of them
were looking for friends or relatives Of
their own. They were mostly acting foi
persons IN the west who had telegraphed
for news.
Tie steamer Suevia and the Polvaria.
from Hamburg, arrived last evening.
Neither brings any newsof the Danmark,
though they followed about the same
course that the Danmark took. They
experienced unusually good weather.
The agents Of the Thingvalla line hope
that the Helvetia or Servia, which are
expected to arrive today. will bring the
Danmark's passengers. lit IS also posi-.
bic that some ship has picked up the
Danmark's people and made for the
Azores, 100 miles from,the locality where
the Danmark is supposed to have become
disabled. There is no Geographic com.
munication with the Azores.
