NEW YORK, April 15.-(E Exclusive
 Dispatch). The greatest marine dis aster in the history of the world oc- cured last Sunday night when, the Iii tanic, of the White Star Line, the big
 gest and finest of steamships, shatter-
 ed herself against an iceberg and
 sank with 1900 of her passengers and crew in less than four hours.
 Out of nearly 2200 persons that she
 carried only 675 were saved and most
 of these are women and children:
 They were picked up from small boats
 by Cunarder Carpathia which found when she ended her desperate race against time a sea strewn with the wreckage of the lost ship and the bod ies of drowned men and women.
 Not name of those saved had reached the offices of the White Star line or the Cunard line at midnight, though every effort was being made to get in communication with the yes sel that bore the survivors. It is pro- bable that these names will be receiv- ed in the morning All night crowd of anxious relatives and friends of the Tftanic's passengers were massed in front of the lines offices at No. 3 Broadway.
 There were 1925 first cabin passen- gers on the Titanic, of whom 12S were women and 15 children In the second cabin there were 2S5 persons, includ ing 79 women and 8 children, and in the steerage the complement of 710 was divided almost equally, it is be- lieved, between women and men, with small percentage of children.
 The numbers are enough to indi- cate that if the women and children were saved, very few men could have survived the disaster, as there were almost enough women and children aboard to make up the 675 survivors. The crew numbered S60, bringing the total of those known to be aboard up to 2180, but it is understood that at the last minute before sailing several got aboard, making the total up to a full 2200.
 Capt E. J. Smith of the Titanic is believed to have gone to the bottom with his vessel.
 Among the 1920 passengers of the giant liner were Col. John Jacob As tor and his wife, Isidor Straus, Maj. Archibald w. Butt, aide to President Taft, George B. Widener of Philadel- phia, MT. and Mrs. Henry S. Harper, William T. Stead, the London jour nalist, and many more whose names are known on both sides of the At lantic. The news that few besides the women and children were saved has caused the greatest apprehension as to the fate of these.
 When the Titanic plunged head1ong against a wall of ice at 10:40 p. m., on Sunday night, her fate established able, and that all of a large pasSen- ger list cannot be saved in liners small boats. The White Star line be- lieved that the Titanic was practical Iy invulnerable and insisted until there was no doubting the full extenr of the catastrophe that she could not sink. The great ship was the last word in modern scientific construc- ton, but she found the ocean floor almost as quickly as wooden ship.
 On her maiden trip, the Titanic built and equipped at a cost of $10,- 100000, floating palace, found her graveyard when, swinging from the westerly steamship lane, south of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, to ake the direct run to this port, she hurled her giant bulk against an ice ,erg that rose from an immense field hat drifted from the Artic. Running tt high speed into that grim and sill mt enemy of seafarers, the shock rushed her bow. From happy, comfortable vessel she was converted n a few minutes into a bedlam of misery and dreadful suffering. Thru ent plates and timbers water rushed U SWllIly IudI n0T CdpIdlu, IT, 'mith, the admiral of the White Star fleet, knew there was no hope of aving her: That much the fa1tering wireless had told.
 News of the sinking of the liner .~ nd of the. terrible loss of life came arly last evening with all the great r shock because hope had been buoy d up all day by reports that the teamship, although badly damaged 5as not sinking, and that all her pas engers had been taken off safely.
 The messages were mostly unoffi- ial, and none came directly from the ner, so that a fear remained of pos fble bad news to come.
