Hope chung desperately to the belief
that the steamers Virginian and Pari-

New York, April 1.-THE appalling

liner Titanic has been but little miti,

which has filtered in.
The rescuing steamer Carpathia has

the latest news received at the Offices

This increases the list of saved by
about 200 from the number first re-

London, Paris and New York are

friends of passengers on board the
Titanic thronged the steamship offices
in all three cities, waiting hour after
hour for news that more often than

London went to bed in the belief that

OTHER VESSELS REACH
THE SCENE TOO LATE.

Two messages received by the Mar
conf wireless telegraph company from
the company's stations at Cape Race
and Sable Island made II certain that
their are none of the Titsnic's passen-
gers on either the steamship Partisan
or Virginisn.
One message reads
THE Marconi station at Sable Island
has been in communication with the
Partisan and the ship has no passen-
gers from the Titanic"
The other message reads:
'"The Marconi station at Cape Race
reports they have had communication
with the Virginian, which reported
none of the Titanic's passengers are
on that vessel, which arrived too late
TO be of service"
All through the night the Offices of
the White Star line and of the news
papers were besieged by scores Of
persons anxious to learn the fate of
relatives or friends on board the Ii
tanic, while food of kilograms, cable
grams and telephone messages were
received, bringing eager inquiries from
different parts of the country.
Officials of the White Star line had

WOMEN AND CHILDREN
FIRST TO BE SAVED.

From what has been learned here
the officers and crew stood to their
quarters with fine discipline when il
was tOund necessary to send away the
boats. First over the side were the
women and children in the first cabin,
then those of the second and then the
steerage With the women of the
steerage in the lifeboats came the turn
of the men In the first cabin, for the
stewardesses and maids aboard the
sreamsnlp ranked with the crew, which
the unwritten law of the sea says must
not leave the sinking vessel until the
last of the passengers are over the
side.
The sea was running high, but not
breaking. Ice was to be seen in all
directions, bringing with il a chill
which bit through such clothing and
wraps as the frightened passengers
had thrown about themselves In the
boats were 500 odd men. women and
children To those left on board were
left the lifebelts if they could don
them and get far enough away from
the sinking vessel not to be engulfed
when she swirled below the water.
Ii was twenty minutes after
o'clock that the last bulkheads of the
Titanic blew away and she went to
the bottom, carrying over 1900 souls
with her. Before this her lifeboats
had been sent away

New York, April 1.-THE tidings
that the Titanic had sunk came in a
brief wireless dispatch to Cape Race,

pic, which reported that the Titanic
had foundered at about 2:20 a. m.
Monday morning in latitude 41:l6
north and longitude SOFA west.
The message added that the steam
ship Carpathia, then on her way to
Naples, had reached the scene of the
wreck at daybreak and found only
boats and wreckage and that all the
Titanic's boats we're accounted for and
about 675 souls saved, crew and pas
sengers, latter nearly all women and
children"
This news was confirmed shortly
sfterward by officials Of the White Star
line here, who announced that the
Olympic had sent them wireless dis.
patches that the Titanic had sunk.
A wireless dispatch received later
at Boston, which was relayed by the
Olympic from the Carpathia, stated
that the Carpathia had $50 of the ri.
tanic's passengers on board. mostly
women and children, concluding with
the words
Grave fears are felt for the safety
of the balance of the passengers and
the crew"
Thirteen Hundred Missing.
Out of the 2,2O0 souls on board this
would make it appear that 1874 had
perished, or at least are unaceounted
for.
The wireless dispatch from Cape
Race telling of the sinking also gave
the information that the steamship
California was remaining and search
ing the vicinity of the disaster
That the Virginian may have some
OF the shipwrecked passengers of the
Titanic on board was indicated In a
telegram received here from st. Johns
which stated that she would bring TO
st. Johns such survivors as she may
rescue" Inasmuch as the Virginian
was bound for Liverpool she would
hardly return te the Newfoundland
port unless for humanitarian reasons
The brief wireless dispatches re-
ceived show that the passengers and
crew passed through thrilling expert
ences from the very moment that the
monster Titanic crashed into the ice
berg in the dead of night until the
Carpathia, several hours later, reached
the scene and rescued the survivors
from lifeboats floating in a sea of ice.
Danger still confronted even those
who were so fortunate as to be put
aboard the lifeboats. Huge quantities
of field ice covered the ocean, wire

ness the crews had to guide their
boats with the greatest care to pre-
vent being jammed and overturned.

when most of the passengers had re-
tired or were about to 80 to bed The
