Montreal, May 2e.-Sir Thomas
shaushnessy, president Of the Ca
madam Pacific railway, issued the
following statement:
"Owing to the distance Of near
est telegraph or telephone stations
from the scene Of the wreck there
is an unavoidable delay in securing
official details, but we sxpoct re-
port from Captain Kendall in tho
course Of the afternoon.
"From tho facts as we have
them il is apparent that about 2
o'clock this morning the Empress
Of Ireland, whom stopped in a dense
fog, was rammed on the rort side
by tho Norwegian collier Storstad
in such a manner as TO tear the
ship from the middle to the screw,
thus making the water tight bulk
heads with which she was provided
useless.
"The vessel settled down In
fourteen minutes. The accident
occurred at a time when the pas
songers were in bed and the inter
val before tho steamer won't down
was not sufficient to enable tho
officers to arouse tho passengers
and get them into tho boats. which
were sufficient TO care for a much
larger number Of people than those
on board including the passengers
and crow.

be possible in the st. Lawrence

possible precaution taken BY tho

Places Dead at
700 to 1000

Rireuski, May %. = Probably
more than 1000 lives, and surely
not less than 700, were lost whom
tho great Canadian Pacific liner
Empress Of Ireland, sank before
dawn today in the st. Lawrence
river, ripped open from amidships,
to stern by the Danish collier,
Storstad. This was the estimate
made here this afternoon, whore
the hystsricaI survivors, many Of
them pitiabiy maimed and almost
naked, were being brought. Il was
based on the fact that the Empress
carried 1887 persons all told, Of
whom 3ee were rescued and landed
here by the ships Eureka and Lady
Evelyn. The Storstad; at first re-
ported % havsGsssors thana 800 sssr-

and third class passengers pre-
dominated. From partial Lists
available this evening il was evil
dent that but mere sprinklins of
the first cabin passengers were
saved. Only three names Of those
in the cabin appeared in the pre-
liminary lists Of rescued. They
were G. w. G. Henderson and c.

in the hands OF Gen. Javier de Moure.

himself Ill educated. realizes the great
er qualities OF De Moure whom he has
pushed forward and in whom he haa
had the greatest confidence.

commissions from Huerta in order to
keep him away from Mexico City, but
