CAIRO, ILL.,, April 21.-After searching
two days the death roll of the burned
steamer City of Pittsburg has not been re-
duced any from the first reports OF the
one hundred and forty-hve people on the
boat when it burned yesterday morning
about half are still missing and tonight
no further hope for them is expressed. The
books and valuables of the boat, crew and
passengers are still in the ruins The
wreck is above water and still smoIdering
tonight. Owing to the heated condition
of the hull search for those cremated in
it has not been begun and very few of the
bodies of those who are drowned have been
recovered, owing to the swift current at
the scene of the disaster.
\ careful estimate by those who were
aboard the City of Pittsburg tonight puts
the loss of life at sixty-three as the lowest
and the opinion of some who have kept a
tab on the missing is that the list will
approximate 100. There is no means of OBJ
tainirg the exact figures, as the register
of passengers and the list of the crew were
burned, and Purser Dana Scott and others
rely on their memories in making the esti-
mate. OF this appalling death list only
three bodies have been recovered and iden-
titled up to late hour tonight.
A revised list of the missing and saved
