marking the route to Ely, but the
differences have been settled in a
manner satisfactory to all concerned.

SALT LAKE. May s.-Latest COM
pany figures indicate that there We're
1864 passengers and Sos members of
the crew aboard the Lusirania when
the famous liner was torpedoed off
the coast of Ireland. 1t is definitely
known that 703 we're saved, while
the number that persisted is 1916.
The body of Charles Frohman, the
noted theatrical man. was recovered
and brought to Queenstown. It is
believed that The body of Alfred G.
Vanderbilt is lost. The first train
load of survivors left Queenstown
this afternoon for Dublin. Trawlers
are constantly arriving with more.
The passengers were at lunch when
ia submarine came up and fired two
torpedoes which struck the Lusitanla

and one in the engine room They
.eaused terrific explosions

were lowered into the water and be-

struck until she floundered. going

There were 1Ss American passen-
gers in all aboard the Lusitania, ac-
cording to a compilation made today
al the Cunard offices The British
numbered $50 and other national
tiles made up the remainder of the
1864 passengers aboard
The Lusitania sailed from New
York last Saturday in the face of a
warning published on the day of her
departure by the German embassy,
which stated that travellers intending
to embark on British ships did so at
the risk of the ship being destroyed
in accordance with the German zone
decree.
This warning published in the form
of an advertisement, did not result in
the cancellation of single passage
nor did anonymous notes of warning
said to have been received by some
passengers just before the big liner
left her pier deter any one from sail
ing.
Reports from Washington that 1t
was privately known in official circles
that the Lusitania was to be torpe-
doed at the first opportunity gave
color to the opinion expressed that
the warning was intended to apply
particularly TO the Lusitania +. =.
