New York, April 1.-THE roll of the
saved from the Titanic disaster to-
night seems complete.
Practically every attending circnm-
stance In the transmission Of news
from the carpathia goes to show that
only 32s OF the Cl0 cabin passengers Of
the Titanic are safe on the rescue
ship.
The 2s2 cabin passengers whose
names have not appeared In the lists
sent ashore yesterday by wireless must
probably be conceded among the 1,312
believed to be dead.
Thousands of hopeful hearts were
turned to despair when the United
States scout cruiser Chester sent "A
wireless dispatch late today that she
had been I'm communication with the
Carpathia and had asked repeatedly
| for the full list of the first and second =
cabin survivors. and that the rescue
ship reported that all the names al

The other $40 persons saved were
passengers I'm the steeragc or members
Of the crew.
After the strain of three days wait
| ing without news of their missing
ones, there were few of the hopeful that
still held tonight against the seeming

and relatives.
| The small remaining hope of the few
Mho persistently refused to believe the
worst, rested tonight on the faint pos
sibility that the list of survivors sent
by wireless from the Carpathia might
not be quite complete.
