Only Eighteen Inches Of Her IastS

ALL ON BOARD LOST ALSO.
This, at Least, Seems to lie Ac-
cepted ms Beyond Doubt the Fate
of Officers and Crew-No Bodies
Recovered.

CADIZ, March i9.-The Spanish cruiser
In the Mediterranean In search OF the
missing war-ship Relna Regente. arrived
here this morning. She found the Reina
Regente at Baio Accitunos, near Couil,
where she had sunk. Only about eighteen
Inches of her masts were visible above
the surface OF the water. The Alfonso
XII. has returned to the scene Of the
wreck with a company of divers. The
news brought by the Alfonso XII has
Created profound feeling Of sorrow here
From the best information obtainable
here, II is regarded as probable that all
on board the Relna Regente were lost
Not single survivor has been reported
as having arrived at any port, nor has
a single body been found that could be
Identified as that OF one OF the officials
or crew Of the lost ship.
The Alfonso XII Is taking divers and
diving appliances for the purpose OF
removing the bodies from the sunken
snip ana examining the condition of the
vessel with a view TO ascertaining the
possibilities of raising her. Until some
thing further is heard from the Alfonso
XII. nothing can be definitely known,
but all hands are undoubtedly lost.
NO DEFINITE IMPORTATION.
MADRID, March 19.-No definite con-
frmation OF the report that the sunken
wreck or the cruiser Reina Regente had
been discovered has yet reached the gov
ernment dispatch from the agent OF
the Lloyds at Gibraltar was received
near midnight, saying Il was reported
that she had foundered near Coull, but
that the fate of those on board Is not
known. The salvage cteamer ,Hermes.
the dispatch also said, had been placed at
the disposal of the Lloyds' agents, who
proceeded with the vessel TO offer as
sistance in ascertaining whether or not
the cruiser could be raised.
REPORT DISCREDITED.
MADRID. March 19.-The government
has not received official information re-
garding the report of the finding OF the
cruiser Reina Regente. and the state
ment that she had been found sunk I'm
shallow water near the Straits OF Glbral-
tar is generally discredited by the au-
thorities. All of the Madid newspa pers.
however, publish the statement that the
Alfonso XII. discovered the cruiser sunk
at Bajo Aceitunous, with only a small por-
ton OF her masts above water.
