every where IN the kingdom in regard
to the calamity shat has befallen the
country through the loss of the battle
ship Victoria off Tripele. Syria, and the
drowning of go many Of her officers
aud crew. Sorrow for the dead AID
sympathy for tie relatives and friends
of those VINO went down with the ship
are widespread. In some quarters in
dignation is expressed that such an
accident should occur, but so far as
known there is No foundation for this
e. E i
the remCteness of the scene OF the
disaster allows no expire sion of definite
opinio0, and full reports of the accident
are very eagerly awaited.
A special staff OF officials was kept
on duty all night at The admiralty
office at Whitehall for the purpose OF
receiving any official dispatches that
| might arrive. The only informatioD,
however, Was that the names of thos-
who had been saved, and tic at only came
to hand at half past 6 o'clock this
norm g. In the meantime an immense
crowd had gathered about the admi-
| rally office, earger TO grasp any scrap
information. 10 the crowd ware many
sad-faced women and children and
young girls, whose husbands, fathers or
sweetheaTtS we're members of the ILL.,
fated crew. Hundreds of peSons living
IN tho piovinces, who had relatives or
friends on board of the Victoria, could
not await at homs for the receipt
of further details of the disaster

fresh accessions, and when the list of |
the saved YVES posted this morning there |

bulletin board, to learn who had es-
capped the fate that had so suddenly |

formation by stentoriau-voiced men who
read aloud the names of the saved. 1t
was painful to see with what eagerness
and Intensity the people listened. When

only touch of gl6dness to the scene was

names of husband, father, CT lover read.
IL Is stated thus morning that no at
tempt would be made To recover the
bodies of those who went down in the

num Der of bodies will float out from the |
hull and all these will be watched for
aEd given burial on land.
