STEAMER REPORTED
 BURNING AT SEA
Details Lacking Concerning Flaming Vessel Sighted 300 Miles South of
 Cape Race-Hoped Crew Is Safe.

Boston, May 5.-Further details re- garding the burning steamer sighted 300 miles south of Cape Race yes- terday by the steamer Seydlitz, Bremen for New York, were anxious ly awaited in shipping circles today. The meagre wireless despatches sent last night by the Seydlitz and by the Sable Island Radio Station indicated that it had been impossible to learn the name of the vessel, but that an- other steamer apparently had heard her call for help Sunday night. As the officers of the Seydlitz could see no sign of life on board, it was hoped that the crew had been taken off by some other vessel.
 The difficulty of obtaining news by wireless concerning the burning ship was increased by the fact that the radio station at Cape Race, which was disabled in an early spring bliz- gard, at present has very limited range.
 A radiogram received at the local office of the Cunard line today from the Franconia, one of the steamers re- ported yesterday from Halifax to be on the way to assist the burning ves- sel, made no mention of a ship on fire or of receiving a call for help from the SeydlitZ.
 The White Star liner Olympic, also reported to have been one of the res- cue fleet, was nearly up to Nantucket lightship this forenoon and it was ex- pected she would dock at New York tonight. Her commander was silent regarding radio calls for help.
