PASSENGERS SCOTT AT WARNINGS AS
 HUGE LINER SAILS

New York, May 8.-when the Lus- itania sailed from here last Saturday she had aboard 1,253 passengers. Some nervousness had been caused because of the publication in the morning papers of Saturday of an ad- vertisement warning intending trav- elers that a. state of war existed be- tween Germany and Great Britain and her -al1ies;s that the zone of war in cludes the waters adjacent to the British Isles; that in accordance with notice given by the German govern ment, vessels flying the flag of Great Britain are liable to destruction, in those waters, and that travellers sail ing in the war zone in ships of Great Britain or her allies do so at their own risk
 This advertisement was signed i'm peria1 German Embassy
 This warning apparently did not cause many cancellations for the ship sailed with a very full passenger list. Just before the steamers departure number of the passengers received te1egrarns at the pier signed by names II

War Speciality Stocks Tumble
 Wildly Today

New York, May 8-OvernigI1+ de- veIopments in connection wtth sink ing of tS>e Lusitania much worse than the financial district had been led to believe yesterday were reflected in Wall street an hour before the stock market opened. The thoughts of many leaders of finance turned to Washington
 Bankers and veteran brokers who have been accustomed to remain away from the financial district at the week end, were down town early. Offices of stock exchange firms were throng- ed with customers and onlookers.
 The heads of the big international banking houses were on hand early, having received cable notices from London and the continent over night. A torrent of selling orders was un- loosed when the gong rang. Trans continental as we'll as English shares were among the weakest issues. Beth- 1ehem Steel, a so-ca1led war speciality fell fraction on the first offering and then dropped five points from last nights close. United States Steel was offered in one block of 15,0O0 shares at g to 52 1-2 against last night close of 54 1-2. Westinghouse Electric opened with 600 shares at S2 to 85 against declined five points Reading, Good rich, Ba1dwinLocomotive and Ameri- can Car fell to points and coppers from 2 to 1-2 points. Trading was extremely active and the floor was thronged.
 L,ondon's prices for our securities in no instance were more than fraction ally below the close of the previous day in the market.
 On the floor of the. stock exchange the scene before the opening was one of suppressed excitement. A very , large percnntage of the members gathered on the floor long before the t opening. The visitors gallery was crowded, many of the spectators being women. During the first quarter of ar hour trading, 15s. 1000. shares Were sold
 Nearly 100000 shares changed hands during the first half hour, re coveries more Or less complete wer, recorded before the expiration of tha l period, indicating the substantial character of the buying.
 At II o'clock the selling movemen seemed to have lost its force.

CONSUL FINDS 43 AMERICANS

London. May s.-The American consul at Queenstown. in a. telegram to the United States embassy here, says that he had cab1ed to the state department at Washington a list con taining the names of 43 Americans who have been saved. The message adds:
 There may be another dozen Americans not in touch with me. also believe that one tender-1oad of survivors landed at Clonaki1ty.

unknown to them and presumed to be fictitious, advising them not to sail as the liner was to be torpedoed by sub marines. Alfred Gwynn vanderbilt was one of the passengers who receiv- ed such a message. He destroyed the message without comment
 Charles F. Sumner. general agent of the Cunard line. was at the pier and in a statement made then said that the voyage of the Lusitania would not be attended by any risk whatever as the liner had, a speed of 25 F knots and was provided with unusual watertiglt bull1heads.
 In commenting on the reported tor pedoing of the Lusitania, marine men pointed out that in their opinion the Lusitania could not be sunk by a sin gle torpedo.
 The I4usitania was delayed for more than two and a. half hours in sailing for Liverpool last Saturday on account of having to take over 16S passengers from the Anchor line steamer Cameron which was charter ed at the last moment by the British Admiralty.

clear. It is to be noted, however, that one and all unite in eu1ogizing the manner in which the ships off, cers behaved.
 Five minutes after. the Lusitania, was hit with the second torpedo amidships, she had listed to such an extent that the lifeboats on one side could not be launched at all The work of getting as many people as possible, for the most part women and children into the only boats that could be got clear was at once un- dertaken by the captain, officers and men of the Lusitania and performed efficiently and with heroisn1.
 The scene as the big liner went down is described by the survivo vors as heartrending beyond words. Bat ting fors life, the passengers called to relatives and friends or bade each other goodbye.
 The small boats which had gotten away from the side of the liner pick ed up a good many survivors who, with Iifebelts or clingfng to wreckage were floating on the surface of the water But soon the boats were all crowded. These boats were in turn picked up by rescuing steamers com ing at full speed from shore points but in many cases four and more hours elapsed before the rescuers 1 reached the scene. Tn many cases the only task left for these craft was to collect from the water the floating | bodies of the dead. Several passen- l gers were taken aboard trawIers se- verely injured only to die before they could be transferred ashore.

 Difficulty was experienced in launching the boats because of the heavy list of the Lusitania almost i'm 1nedIately after she was torpedoed- Several of the frail craft evidently capsized as they were launched or soon afterwards.
 Many of the passengers owed their rescue to lifebelts which kept them af1oat until they were picked up. Among this number was Lady Mack yvofth, daughter of David A. Thomas, the Welsh .scoaI king and Julian DsA1yala, Cuban consul general at Liverpool

 Probably no event of the war has caused such intense excitement in London sas the sinking of the Lusi- tania- Enormous crowds surrounded offices of the Cunard line all night, scanning anxiously the bulletins re- ceived from Queenstown.
