FORTY-EIGHT LOSE LIVES
Awaiting an official report on
the incident, the attitude of the
administration has not been indi-
Gated, but it is believed like
ly that, if the report shows
that any Americans aboard the
liner have lost their lives, the ad-
ministration will at once recall

lations with Germany.

ARABIC SUNK WITHOUT WARNING TO PERSONS ABOARD
ack Was Contrary To Humanity

London advices late last night
stated that the Arabic survivors
are being towed in by British
destroyers, eleven lifeboats hav-
ing been successfully launched
from the sinking ship, despite the
narrow time limit between the
blow of the torpedo and the dis
appearance of the liner.
Patrolling destroyers have wire
lessed in that among the. survi-
vors in the small boats are twen-
ty-six Americans, twenty-five
among the second-class passen-
gers and four from the steerage.
MORE THAN IS AMERICANS
1t was first announced from the
American embassy in London
that the American passengers
aboard the Arabic were limited
to fifteen, but evidently there
were number of others.
The London press dispatches
state that the torpedoing Of the
Arabic has taken precedence in
the news over all the other war
reports, despite the fact that these
reports continue to tell Of Ger
man advances in Russia Of a ma
ture that may soon affect the de-
velopments in the other theaters
of the war.
The Arabic sailed from Liver
pool on Wednesday and had just
cleared St. Georges channel for
the Atlantic when she was attack
ed, the blow being struck at half
past nine yesterday morning.

port wirelessed to the White Star

The White Star reports are
that the Arabic carried four hun
dred and twenty-three persons,
including the crew. Of these, so
far as the steamship company has
been able to learn, there are three
hundred and seventy-five survi-
vors accounted for, leaving the
limit of killed and drowned at
forty-eight.
= The number of passengers
aboard was $50, of whom 1872
were in the cabins and forty-eight
in the steerage. Only meager re-
ports have been received, but il
is known that the dead are prac-
tically confined to the crew, ad-
vices last night being that all the
passengers but six had been ac-
counted for.

APPALLING CATASTROPHE

Two Americans are believed to have been
killed and twenty-Six rescued from the White
Star liner Arabic, Queenstown for New York,
sunk yesterday morning by German sub
marine without warning, fifty miles from the
spot where the LuSitania was tOrpedoed.
Even before late dispatches from London
broughtFWord which makes it certain that
Americans were passengers on the Arabic
when she was attacked, it was stated unof-
ficially last night, in quarters possessing the
confidence Of the Administrations that. if the
facts we're found officially to be as reported,
the attack could only be construed asa "de-
liberately unfriendly act in the sense. of the
Presidents solemn warning. :.
Consequently, it is generally believed in
Washington that Ambassador Gerard will
be recalled from Berlin and Ambassador Won
Bernstorff handed his passports, severing
diplomatic relations with Germany.
The Arabic when sunk was bound on an
errand of mercy. She was fastening to the
rescue of the stricken steamer DunSley, tor
pedoed by the same submarine.
Official comment on the crisis precipitated
takes note of the fact that the Arabic was
outward bound and hence could not have
been carrying munitions of war to the Allies,
which was the first point raised by Germany
in defense OF the sinking OF the LuSitania.,

the Lusitania was sunk. Survi-
vors tell how, while scanning the
sea from the promenade decks,
they saw a column of foam and
water rise from the side of the
British steamer Dunsley, also out
ward bound from Liverpool and
within easy range of unaided
vision.
PRAISE THE CAPTAIN
The Dunsley, though she did
not sink Immediately, began to
list badly and, seeing that she was
in distress, the captain of the Ara
bic put on full steam and went to
her assistance, knowing the dan
ger he himself was running.
None of the survivors are sell
fish enough to blame him for his
humanity. His was not a war
ship, but peaceful merchant
man, and the passengers praise
him for doing his duty, even
though it carried them into peril,
CARRIED NO EXPLOSIVES
But the Arabic never arrived to
succor the Dunsley. She herself
was mortally stricken and settled
with terrifying rapidity. 1t is re-
called that the sudden sinking OF
the Lusitania was said in the Of
fetal German explanation to be
doubtless" due to the secondary
explosion of the ammunition and
explosives she carried, and that
there was nothing in previous ex-
perience to indicate that she
would be so shattered by a tor,
pedo. The Arabic carried no am,
munition or explosives, but she
sank even more rapidly. though
like the Lusitania, she was a mod,
ern ship, fully provided with wa,
tertight compartments and bulk,

There were no frst-class pas
sengers on board. All were either

W/ASHINGTON, August 20.
" Without warning, or a
chance being given to the passen-
gers and members of the crew to
escape in the small boats, the
White Star liner Arabic, carrying
four hundred and twenty-three
persons, was torpedoed yesterday
morning off the Fastnet light
house, south of Ireland, while
bound on an errand of mercy. The
torpedo tore a great hole in the
liners hull on the starboard side,
one hundred feet from her stern,
and she sank in eleven minutes,
carrying down with her many Of
her engine crew.
The Arabic when stricken was
fastening to the aid of the Brit
ish steamer Dunsley, from Liver
pool for Boston, which had been
torpedoed few moments earlier
by the same submarine and,
though not sinking rapidly, was
in severe distress.
REPORT SHOCKS CAPITAL
The report OF rne sinking of the
Arabic, which was bound from
Liverpool to New York, came as
a shock to the officials here, in
view of the terms of the note
despatched month ago to Ber-
lin, which has not yet been an
swered.
While the officials have not
spoken in their official capacity,
it is known that they have ex-
pressed the opinion that, even if
the list of dead of the Arabic con-
tains the names of no Americans,

T ONDON, August 20, 1890 a.
l. m. - Checking the list of
known survivors at Queenstown
against the listed American pas
sengers on record at the Offices of
the White Star line here, it seems
virtually certain that Miss Bru-
giere and Edmund Woods, both
Americans, were killed by the
German torpedo that sank the
British liner Arabic yesterday
morning, fifty miles from the spot
where the Lusitania met the same
fate.
Although the Arabic sank in
eleven minutes time, four min
utes less than the Lusitania, there
was not the same appalling NOR
tality. Thirty-two passengers are
missing and, following the melan-
choly precedent established
