that remain will be buried in three ceme-
teries here overlooking the sea- few
representatives of those who lost kin in
the great disaster visited the temporary
morgue today. but no further identifica-
tions were made.
About seventy or eighty burials will be
made tomorrow Not all Of the cere-
monies will be over unknown dead for
the relatives of many that have been
identified have found graves for them
here.
The belief here is that the cable ship
Nina. which is expected in port next
week, has picked up practically all the
bodies that remain to be found. The
Mina's captain has been notified to re-
frain from sending word of any further
recoveries unless the newly discovered
bodies are identified. since the mere men

false hopes in those whose dead are still
missing.
