New York, April 16.--The follow
ing facts concerning tho worlds
greatest steamship, disaster--the
sinking OF tho White Star Liner
Titanic off tho hanks of Ncwfound-
land-stood ont prominently early
to-day as siftcd from wirNless re-
ports.
A revised estimate Of the loss of
life is ,232 souls.
The ten million dollar steamship
with cargo and jewels worth ten mil
lion or moro are totally lost.
Wireless reports say the Cunarder
Carpathia has aboard S6S survivors,
the total thus far accounted fol. She
Is steamng for New York and
should arrive Thursday.
The rescued passengers drifted in
life boats many hours before succor
came.
Wireless messages to st. Johns,
N. f., report Allan Line steamer Vir-
ginian en- route there with no survi-
vors. Her sister ship, the Partisan,
also reached the scene too late.
Capt. Il. j. Smith, the Titanic's
commander, probably went to his
grave with the ill-fated vessel, with
out being able to communicate with
his superior officers OF the line.
Aside from G. @. d. sent by his wire
less operator, not one word from him
was received up to the time the
Titanic sank, bow foremost, into the
ocean. The presumption is he met
death at his post.
