LIST OF DEAD sWELLED ABOUT
SEVEN HUNDRED BY THE
LATEST MESSAGE.
There Seems, However, to Be Some
Mistake as to the Total Number Of
Passengers on the Titanic-Rescue
Ship Reaches New York Tonight.

New York, April IT, The Camper
down wire ssS statio!, at Halifax to-
dap sent the Associated Press the
following dispatch:
we are now in communication with
carp 4th,1, and in position to an 10 Ip2 a
oft1ctl'ly tha- the Titanic strucx An
enormous iceberg, and sank; over q
O00 lost; 1LG survivors, mostl: wo-
men, on C1I. sthia."
The attention of the CamperdoWn
station was at once called - the
onVio1s error in figures, which would
give the total of lost and sur yiv91 S
at 200, whereas the tctal number Of
passengers and crew is about 2,300.
On the reply to this inquiry tae fol-
lowing further explanation was re-
-ceived from halifax:
The Mareoni station reports the.t
nothing authentic regarding list is
known on Carpathia, but the steamer
Francona, in relaying the m assase >
from the Carpathia says tha. tIc
total number Of saved is only 40.
There is no list of missing on the
Cunarder, and only a rough e5lima c
of her total passenger list. There
probably were more than 2,200 Oh the
steamer, as quite number 5oat'ded
her at Cherbourg."
The estimates of 2,200 on board the
Titanic have embraced the sailings
from all ports, including Che ,bc urs.
as far as the company Officials nave
been able to give the information.
No new names have been added 70
the list Of 328 known persons saved.
There are on board the Carpathia
$40 survivors, whose names have no.
been sent in ry wireless. Little nope
remains that there are any 81 WOES
of the disaster on board steanaojps
other than the Carpathia
The Titanic carried to death 1872
souls. &
Speeding up the coast toward tie
rescle ship and hoping to get within
wireless speaking distance Of her BE-
4,
vC~o he scout cruisers Salem and
Ch~-ar, ordered by the government
tt ''> >'-a all lOssible haste to break
the seal Of silence which so far has
kept the survivors on the Carpatnia
from making known to the outside
world the thrilling story of the Ii
tanic's last hours ahoat, and the mo-
mentous happenings she had taken
before her two-n1ile plunge to the
bottom, off the banks of Newfoundland
early Monday morning.
From the Chester at an early hour
this message came:
Expect to be up with Carpathia
within three or four hours"
TWO Cruisers to Break Silence.
While the scout Chester's expecta-
tions on this point were not realized,
there seemed to be every prospect
that through the machinery which the
government had set in motion definite
word from the Cunarder might be
secured within a reasonably short
time. The injection of the scout
cruisers into the situation, indeed,
seemed to af).'i tD9 only h102 Of
opening up communication with the
Garpathia until she reached the wire
less zone of Nantucket.
That more than 1900 persons, pas
sengers and crew, went down with
the giant liner now has grown into
almost positive conviction. Sources
of rescue other than the Carpathia
seem to have been entirely eliminat-
ed.
1t is estimated that approximately
130 members of the crew were saved,
their presence to man the liieboats
being required to insure the passen-
gerss safety. An estimate of 100
steerage passengers saved complete
the tt tai Of S6S, which the Ca paLhi2
has n&de known she has on 1CGi'
Very Few Men Saved.
AS the lists indicate, the great ma
ioritv. of these are undoubtedly wo-
men. The names of only 79 men res
,cued have been given in the lists tele-
graoned from the Carpathia, whereas
4he names of 249 women appear in
4ha tabulations. Of the 400 steerage
Messengers thought to be saved, it is
