Carpathia Now in Wireless Com

Survivors.

New York, April 1.-THE roll
of the saved from the Titanic
disaster tonight seems complete.
Practically every attending
circumstance in the transmission
OF news from the Carpathia goes
to show that only 32S Of the o1o
cabin passengers of the Titanic
are safe OH the rescue ship.
The eS2 cabin passengers whose
names have not appeared in the
lists sent ashore yesterday BY
wireless probably must be con-
ceded as among the 1872 lives
which the collision Of the mani
moth new steamer with all ice
berg off the New Foundland
banks Sunday night is believed
to have taken.
Hearts Turn to Despair.
Thousands of hopeful hearts
were turned to despairing ones
when the United States scout
cruiser Chester wirelessed ashore
late to-day that she had
been in communication with the
Garpathia and had asked her re-
peatedly for the full list Of first
and second-cabin survivors, and
that the rescue ship reported that
all the names had already been
sent ashore. The remainder O;
$40 persons saved were passen-
gers in the storage or members
OF the crew.
After the strain Of three DAYS
waiting without news of their
missing ones, there were few of
the hopeful that still held out to-
night against the seemingly final
word as to the fate Of friends and
relatives.
The small remaining hope OF the
few who persistenuy refused to be-
lieve the worst rested Tonight on
the faint possibility that the list OF
survivors sent by wireless from the
Carpathia might. after all. not be
quite complete.
The fact that one new name came
through. late to-day. a private mes
sage from the Carpa thia was the basis
of what was a desire mora than
hope that there were slips enough in
her wireless lists 10 account for a

peared that IL could be only an occa-
