Confirmation of Loss Of Audacious.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-More pas sengers arrived here today from Ire- land and they confirm the loss of the British superdreadnought Audacious in the Irish Sea on October 27. The transatlantic liner Olympic stood by the big warship all day trying in vain to tow the heavy 23,0O0 ton ship to shore, where repairs could be made. The boat did not sink at once owing to her water tight compartments, but was SO low in the water that the weigEt was too much for the cables of the Olympic, which parted repeat edly. A heavy sea was running at the time. The entire crew of the Audacious were rescued and at mid night when it was certain that the boat could not be salved the officers of the cruiser Liverpool dynamited the dreadnought and sent her to the bottom in deep water where she could not be a menace to navigation.
 Loss Is $1o,ooo,ooo.
 The big battleship was one of the latest in the British navy and was the second largest British ship. It cost $1O,OOO,0O0 to build her.
