Passengers Chairs Upset.
The big liner was day out from
Liverpool when she met her doom.
She was just of the Irish coast, max
ing a fair speed through calm sea.
Practically all the passengers are
reported to have been on the wide,
roomy decks which made the Arabic
a favorite in the transatlantic serv-
ice.
Suddenly. according to stories told
by survivors brought into Queenstown
on warships, a terrific shock threw
the vessel far to port, spilling pas
sengers from the chairs, throwing
those standing to the deck. A terrific
explosion told more plainly than words
what had happened to the Arabic.
After the frst momentary excite
ment there was no panic. Passengers
below hastily made their way to deck,
buckling ON life belts. Stewards
worked rapidly, assisting the passen-
gers to don the cork preservers, and
the seamen of the crew, who had been
put through lifeboat drills daily, hasti-
ly and smoothly manned the boats, I
Under the direction Of Captain Finch
and the ships officers, the survivors
were hastily put into the boats, which
were cut free and launched as fast as
passengers could be crowded into
them. The sea was calm and the men
at the oars pulled away fast from the
rapidly listing steamer. Eleven boats
in all are reported to have been
launched. MI. s.ssls
Excitement gripped a few, and some
of these leaped into the sea, according
to the stories of survivors. The few
casualties among passengers were ssuf-
fered from this cause, it is believed.
The Arabic sank within II minutes,
four less than it took the Lusitania to
go down.

Petrograd- The. President of the
Duma announces that the Germans
lost the uperdreadnaught Moltke,
three cruisers and seven torpedo boats
in the battle of the Gulf of Riga.
The Germans tried to make land

barques crammed with soldiers took
part. They were repulsed by Rus

of the artillery. The Germans Were
exterminated and the barques cap

An official announcement states that

London.-The British Admiralty's

of troops to the various fighting zones

ported officially has been broken aft
er more than year of war. The

found the mark and the transport
Royal Edward has gone to the bot

of life which may reach 1000. The
Admiralty announcement shows that
the Royal Edward was engaged in
transporting troops to the Dardanelles
front, where Australians and New Zea-
landers have been largely employed.
The transport had on board 80 mill
tary officers and 1850 troops in addi-
tion to the ships crew of 220 officers
and men. The troops consisted main

ninth Division and details of the Royal
Army Medical Corps.

which has been on the GallipoI
peninsula since the first landing and
which received such high praise from
Gen. Ian Hamilton in his report on
the initial and subsequent operations.
The news came as a shock to the
British public, who believed the sub
marine menace in the Aegean had
been dealt with successfully. This
is the first occasion since the sink
ing of the battleship Majestic on
May q that the German submarines
which made the long trip to the
Dardanelles have scored a success.

GOLD LOST WITH ARABlcf
Wall Street Thinks Probably $1,000
o0C Went Down.

New York.-In Wall street there was
a pronounced opinion that the Arabic
carried q shipment of gold, perhaps
not very large shipment, probably
not more than s2,000.000 or $3,000,-
600, in addition to considerable guam
tity of American railroad securities.
1t was the presence of the gold. ac-
cording to some bankers, which
prompted the Germans to torpedo the
White Star liner. The argument they
followed IN developing this theory was
that, inasmuch as the steamer carried
no munitions of war, the only reason
the Germans could have had for de-
stroying her was that she might be
carrying specie. 1t was freely ad-
mitted. however, that this would never
be established. The British Govern
ment was expected to make good any
loss which may have been sustained,
and, it was said, would probably i'm.
