Officials Endeavor to Allay
Anxiety by Reciting the
Bad Weather Qualities of
the Liner.

List Brought In.

NEW YORK. Jan. 15.-The anxiety Of
the owners Of the vessel. and especially
Of the friends and relatives Of passen-
gers on the American liner St. Louis was
Increased today BY the passing Of an
other night and morning without word
from the overdue liner.
The arrival Of the St Louis has been
anxiousIy awaited since Sunday. The ar
rival of vessels that travelled over the
same path without sighting the siam
ship was not calculated TO aIIay the
worry.
It has been ten days since the s..
Louis left Cherbourg, and no news of her
has been received since that time.
The owners of the vessel told the anx-
ious watchers yesterday that it Vas
hardly possible that the st. Louis had
been lost They pointed out that the
St. Louis vas all that was modern. with.
her twin propellers. which rendered her
less likely to mishap than the singis
screw boats They said that undoubt-
edIv only the weather had interfered
with her progress. For some time the
boilers of the St Louis have been Ieaky-
The arrival. however. of two boats
that left Cherbourg after the ST. louis
and traversed the same route across the
Atlantic has instiIled the belief IN the
interested ones that something more
than ugly weather has retarded the
American liner
The owners say that it is probable that
one of her engines has been disabled
She has one other to depend on and
they hardly believe it possible for both
to have been disabled at the same ttsse.
The last vessels If report the At
1autfc in bad temper Westerly gales
have been blowing continuously. At hrst
the non-arrival Of the st. Louis vas
ascrihed 70 this cause.
