Panama, Oct. 10.-The Gamboa dixie,

hence as the last artificial barrier to
actual communication between the At

hand of President Wilson this after
noon. .... d. -.
Between three and four thousand
persons from the cities of Panama and
Colon and various sections of the ca
nal zone journeyed to the scene to wit
ness the demolition of the barrier. and
while the event of destroying the dixie
was spectacular to degree and sue
cessful in its every detail, some dis
appointment was evinced because the
entire dixie was not destroyed.
Complete demolition was not car
ried out because of the fear that the
conclusion might damage the railroad

tons will be dynamited at some fu.

Heavy Loss Of Life
on Atlantic.
WIRELESS CALLS HELP
Ten Steamships Respond TO Ap-
DeaIS for Assistance and
Save 500 Persons.

Liverpool, Oct. ll.-Ihe BRUSH
steamship Volturno, Rotterdam for
New York with 757 passengers and
crew on board, burned in mid-Atlantic
and 1876 persons are missing, accord
ing to wireless dispatch from the
Cunarder Carmania.
The meager report said that the Vol
turno, afire from stem to stern, was
abandoned in latitude 4S.25, longitude
34.33, and burned to the waters edge.
Only 521 of her passengers and crew
were saved so far as the Carmania
knew.
The Carmanias wireless said tho
fire broke out aboard the Volturno at
$3.50 Friday morning. Ten steam.
ships responded to the Volturnos
wireless distress signals, but by the
time they reached the doomed liner
and stood by she had burned to tbs
waters edge and her 521 survivors
were in lifeboats and RATS.
The Volturno was owned by the Ca
madam Northern Steamship company,
known as the Royal Mail line. She
was under charter by the Uranium
company of Rotterdam. She was d.
twin screw steamship of 1902 gross
tonnage, built in 1906.

crew of 1913.

When the stirring S. O. s. of the

Of the rescue fleet, transmitted by
Captain Barr. Of the Carmania, agreed
that 521 were rescued, but differed on
the number of those lost, stating the
number variously from 132 to 236 and
1923. .....
The world got first word of the Vol.
turno disaster in a wireless message
sent out by the Cunarder Carmanta
and picked up by the wireless station
here The Carmania's first message
was: ...

Rotterdam for Halifax and New York,
with 500 emigrants on board, on fire
and abandoned Friday night in lati.

A fouled propeller is said to have
caused the fire aboard the Volturno.
Quickly the liner was ablaze from
stem to stern. So rapidly did the fire
spread that many of the steerage pas
sengers were burned in their quarters.
Captains of the rescue ships said some
of them got to the Volturno before she
went down.
