Minneapolis, April 1S.-special to
the Pioneer at $3.50 p. m.-The lin
er Carpathia, which is slowly steam
Ing to New York with survivors of
the Titanic disaster, absolutely re-
fuses to give out any information as
to the details of the wreck and sub
sequent rescue. For the past twen-
ty-four hours, her wireless has been
used only for the sending of private
messages. The Carpath1a even re-
FUSED to answer message from
President Taft concerning the wreck.
All reporters have been ordered to
keep away from the ship when it
docks at midnight tonight and the
story will not be known until the
rescued are ashore. Customs regu-
lations have been waived.
The action of the Carpathia in re-
fusing all information, and the in
ability of other ships to find bodies
where the Titanic sunk, have led to
rumors that the Carpathia has many
Douies on board.

formation now at hand in regard to
the loss of the White Star liner Ii
tanic appears to be in effect that
more than 1912 lives were lost as
originally reported. The Camper
down wireless station at Halifax late
last night sent the Associated Press
the following dispatch:
I'VE are now in communication
with the Carpathia and in a position
to announce unoficially that the IT,
tanic struck an enormous ice berg
and sank; over 1000 lost; 700 sur
vfvors, mostly women, on board the
Carpathia.
s'The steamer Franconia, relaying
messages from the Carpathia, states
that the total number of saved is
7O5. It gives the total on board as
about 1900"
At the White Star line Offices here
it was stated that the total on board
was 1900 but it is possible more
may have embarked at Cherbourg.
The company appears unable to give
any additional information.
Messages are now being relayed
from the survivors to friends. They
contain nothing but the bare an
nouncement that the senders were
saved. 1t is generally understood,
however, that all of the women were
saved
