ceiyed shortly after 10 O'Clock today
by the NIarconi company from sta
tions at Cape Race and Sable Island
indicate there are none of the Titanic's
passengers on either the Partisan or
Virginian.
One message read:
1.-THE NIarcOni station at Sable Is
land has been in communication with
the Partisan and the ship has no pas
sengers from the Titanic
The other message reads:
'"The MarcOni station at Cape Race
reports they have had no communica-
ton with the Virginian and does not
believe any of the Titanic's passengers
are on that vessel"
New York. April 16.-The White Star
line announced officially at II O'Clock
they had received positive news the
number of survivors on the Carpathia
was S68. This dispatch was sent from
the Olympic, which it is understood Il
in wireless communication with the
Carpathia.
Montreal, April 16.-The weather sig
nal station on the Gulf of St. Lawrence
reported today that heavy fogs lay of
Nova Scotia and that a violent thun-
der storm broke in that neighborhood
1t was said that such conditions left
little hope for the rescue of any sur
vivors of the Titanic that might still
be adrift in RATS or boats.
New York, April ia wireless
message sent by Captain Rostron of
the Carpathia to the Cunard line here
from latitude 41.45 north and longi-
tude 5000 west, reads as follows:
Am proceeding to New York un-
nd Affpr
having consulted with Mr.. Ismay and
considering the circumstances with SO
much ice about considered New YORK
best Large number icebergs and 20
miles field ice, with bergs amongst.
New York. April 16.-The steamer
Titanic lies buried two miles beneath
the ocean surface, midway between
Sable Island and Cape RAJ. Her posi-
ton when she struck the iceberg was
given as latitude 41;46 north; longitude
5O:14 west.
According to the Carpathia's advices,
the liner, which struck the iceberg at
1925 O'Clock Sunday night, sank at z:2O
o'clock Monday morning, nearly four
hours later in the latitude Al :16; longf-
tude 5O:14, or not more than half a de-
gree south of the point where the colli-
sion occurred. 1t seems improbable
from this that the liner, after the acci-
dent, made much headway under her
own steam.
It seems established that there were
about 210O persons on the liner. This
was the estimate of the line officials in
New York, who gave the number of
passengers as ], $40, the remainder of $50
making up the crew.
While the fate of the majority of the
2.1O0 persons on board the mammoth
White Star liner Titanic, which sank
early yesterday on the ~WfOundland
banks after a collision with an iceberg,
stin remains in doubt, and it is feared
more than 1900 persons were lost. a
note of good cheer came from the ocean
waves by wireless between 1 and 2
O'Clock this morning.
It was in the shape of a wireless mes
sage from the White Star liner Olympic
one of the vessels lowering near the
scene of the disaster, flashing the news
that S66 of the Titanics passengers,
mostly women and children were be-
ing brought to port by the Cunarder
Carpathia- Other messages later
brought cOnfirmatOry tidings.
First reports were that the Carpathia
had saved but SIS persons. The new
figures reduced the list of those for
