Titanic Warned Of Danger.

London, May 23.-That the iceberg
with which the Titanic col!!ded was
one Of those Of which she had warnings
from other ships is the conclusion
reached by the board Of trade court of
inquiry after a careful examination of
the wireless kilograms passed to and
fronass the. steamer on the day Of the
Disaster.
This was brought out when the tes-
timony of Herbert John Pitman. third
officer; Joseph Groves Boxhall. fourth
officer; and Harold Godfrey Lowe
fifth officer Of the Titanic. was con-
cluded. The evidence was similar
to that given before the United States
senatorial committee.
During Boxhalrs examination, how
ever the solicitor general. Sir John
Simon, went at some length into the
wireless dispatches in regard to ice re-
ceived by the Titanic. information
which 1t was his duty to mark on the
chart.
Boxhall could not remember all the
wireless dispatches received, but the
solicitor general said from those OF
which they already had evidence and
others to be produced it was plain the
warning received from the bai'iS, VIC
Amerika, the Californian and the
Caronia all related to icebergs In the
oblong space where the Titanic met
her fate.
Lord Mersy asked the witness
whether he could explain why, having
received warnings Of icebergs both to
the north and south Of her. the Titanic
was allowed to continue her way In
such regions. The witness did not re-
ply.
Lowe was then examined with re-
spect to the three bodies recently
picked I'D in collapsible boat. and
said he was absolutely certain the men
were dead before he left the boat. from
which he took number OF passengers.

Rebel Leaders Ask For Terms.

Havana. Cuba. May ga report has
reached here that General Evaristo
Estonoz and General Ivonet. leaders OF
the insurgent negroes have sent ennis
saries to the camp of the commander
Of the government troops near Guam
tanamo for terms of peace.
The Cuban government is determined
rot to accept anything less than an
immediate and unconditional surrend-
er. In default Of immediate submission
of the rebels Gordon of government
troops will attack the rebels from all
sides.
The report current this morning that
Generals Estenzo and Ivonet had re-
quested to negotiate terms with the
commander of the government forces
proves to have been premature but the
government declares that it expects an
offer Of surrender from them at any
moment. In default of this an immedi-
ate advance will be made by the gov
ernment troops on the rebels.
