Hunger, Thirst and Terror
 Hardships Suffered on Liner

Fstris, United States, FlorNel and other steamers.
 After taking aboard the. disabled l,per's passengers, the Patris shot q line to the Thessaloniki and took he1 il tow on January 1. The wind in cleased however, the tow line parted end the Thessaloniki was driven rapidly to the southeast before a ter rife hurricane. The Patris took up the search for the lost vessel and was, joined by the Scandinavian steamer United States, which had turned out of her course.
 x. Captain Refuses to Ask Aid.
 The captain of the Thessaloniki re- 1eatedly refused to send out wireless calls for aid at the bahest of both crew and passengers, according to William Williams, naturalized citi- zen of the United States. who was a passenger. He said:
 "The' first the passengers knew there was anything. amiss was on De- cember 21,, when all the crew was or dered below to work on something that had gone wrong. Many passen- gers became alarmed. December 22 when the Italian liner Stampalia was sighted, several insisted that they be transferred. The captain assured tlem that everything was all right Lscember 26 another storm came up One of the life boats was carried away. Several passengers and mem Eers of the crew asked the captain to send wireless calls for aid. He was indignant and refused.
 "Later all the officers and crew ex- cept the first engineer and two sail CTS demanded that the captain send cut messages. He refused and the first officer then set out the calls"

New York, Jan 7.-Hunger, thirst end terror were among the hardships suffered by the 177 passengers of the atndoned Greek steamer Thessalon- iki during the five weeks she was battered by Atlantic gales. They arrived here today pTdhe Patris, to which steamer they were transferred, leaving all baggage and personal be- longings on the disabled vessel.
 On Christmas day, passengers said the supply of meat on the ThessalO, n.ki was exhausted. Only few gall Ions Of water were left and the ships officers began to portion out the short rations. The transfer to the !Patris was made under great diff ficulties because of the heavy seas. The Thessas9piki first sprang a leak when ash,s encountered a hurri- cane December 21. The steamer sent cut calls for assistance, but the hur- ricane subsided and she proceeded.

Highly : Esteemed Resident Found Unconscious, Pistol
 Beside Her.
HUSBAND KILLED
 TWO YEARS AGO
Mrs. Gaunt Was Alone for Several Hours Yesterday Afternoon, Her Condition Being Discovered at 8:45
 by Daughter, Mrs. J. E. Potter.

With bullkt wound in the right 1 temple, and a 32-calibre revolver lying beside her, Mrs. J. M. Gaunt, a
 highly esteemed resident of Pine Bluff, was found lying unconscious
 in her bedroom at her home, 1919
 East Sixth avenue. by her daughter,
 Mrs. J. E. Potter, about 3:45 o'clock
 yesterday afternoon.
 At 2 o'clock this morning, it was
 reported from the Gaunt home that
 Mrs. Gaunt who is about 55 years of age. was resting easy.
 Mrs. Gaunt had been alone in the
 house three hours or more. It is tho opinion of physicians who treated
 her that the wound had been caused about an hour before she was found. None of the neighbors heard the
 sound of the shot, however. Mrs. Gaunt did not recover consciousness at any time after being found.
 Physicians reached the house soon
 after Mrs. Potter had discovered her mothers condition. They realized her condition was critical, and that in all likelihood death was matter of few short hours only. There was the
 slight chance, however, that the bullet, after entering the head, had ranged away from the brain, in
 which case Mrs. Gaunt might recover. This chance however, it was stated, vas remote.
 DcspOndent efnoe Hxsbaud'ss Death. News of the affair was received as a shock by the hundreds of friends or Mrs. Gaunt and her children yes terday afternoon and evening. Her long residence in Pine Bluff, and her many fine traits of character. had given her a wide circle of friends, all of whom heard the news with sorrow Mrs. Gaunt has been subject tQ spells of despondency and melan-
 cholia since the death, about two years ago, of her husband, who was Itrainmaster. for the Cotton Belt, and who was killed when he was run
 over by Cotton Belt train near Sorrelk' switch. Her children. other relatives and friends, sought to cheer her. but with little beneficial result.
 More recently, the death of g. brother Asked Not to Be Disturbed. After luncheon yesterday, Mrs. Gaunt remarked to her son that she desired to lie down and rest, and asked him to tell. his sisters not to disturb her when they returned
 home. The son left the house shortly
 afterward. Not until nearly o'clock
 did any one enter the house, and then Mrs. Gaunt was discovered, uncon-
 sclous and evidently at the point of
 death. Indications are that she had
 searched in various articles of furni-
 lure until she had found the pistol,
 after her son left the house.
 Besides the one son. Harry, there
 are three daughters, Mrs. J. E. Potter. who lives at 1900 East Eighth ave-
 nue, Miss Mildned Gaunt. teacher at
 the First Ward school, and Miss
 Edith Gaunt, stenographer in the law
 office of Bridges & Woodbridge.

PENDING ISSUES
 NEAR SETTLEMENT
Developments Yesterday Indicate That Satisfactory Adjustment Will Be Made of Differences Between U. s.
 and TeutOn Governments.

Washington. Jan. S.-Important de. velopments today in the internationa affairs of the United States were in. terpreted by officials as indicating that the general situation is rapidly improving.
 The prevailing opinion tonight if that the pending issues between this government and Germany and Aus tria will be settled quickly and satis' factorily.
 lTcday's developments were:
 The German government notified count von Bernstorff, the German am. bassador, that it approved the form ,f settlement of the Lusitania contro' versy which he has been negotiating with Secretary of State Lansing The plan of settlement is now in President wilson's hands for his de cfsion. An agreement may be an. pounced in the next AS hours.
 Count von Bernstorff callcd Secre' tsry Lansing and left with him g memorandum to the effect that Ger. many has instructed all her subma. rine commanders operating in the Mediterranean to observe the rules o1 international law.
 This was taken to mean that if il ,i. proved a German submarine sanl the Persia. Germany will dlsavoV the act, punish the submarine com. mander and pay indemnity for tho American lives lost.
 1t Is understood that Germany hal agreed t opay indemnity for thu Americans lost when the Lusitanis vas torpedoed, but contends the ac was Justified in reprisal for thu British blockade of Germany. It. i: also stated that Germany agree' with the position of the United State' in regard to small boats not being place of safety for passengers aboard a ship about to be destroyed.
 Austria Will Make Preparation.
 Ambassador Penfield cables frou Vienna that the Austrian foreign of fee had told him 1t has no informa tion on the sinking of the Persia. The state department already had receiv ed assurance from the Austrian em. bassy that If an Austrian submarine had sunk the vessel, in violation o instructions, satisfactory reparatior would be given.
 President Wilson and the cabinet discussed at length the new prob lem of submarine warfare with [ view to securing an ,internat1ona agreement. not only as to the rights end duties eof submarines. but as tt the rights and Limitations of >merch ant vessels carrying guns.

A thin line of special police guarded the men leaving the place. As they came into view, the strikers opened fire. It was promptly returned and 19 persons, one woman, were wounded. The bullets of the pOl!co- men cowed the mob. It's members broke and ran. only to be loartialed into line by leaders when the city proper was reached.
 In the business section the mob broke into small squads and scatter ed. Without the slightest effort at secrecy building after building was fired. When firemen responded to the alarms, they were greeted with re- volver shots. They were driven eff. Neither city police nor the scores of deputies, hastitly sworn in, were able to hold the mob at bay.
 Saloons and Stores LOOted.
 From building to building rali the looters. Several liquor stores and sa- looms were stripped, and soon scores of the rioters were frenzied with drink. Members of the mob clad themselves in expensive garments talk. en from stores. They danced and yelled in the light of burning build- ings. Women and girls fled, end the residence section of the town is now dark, as behind bolted doors, families cover in fear of attacks which screams of hate from the strikers have led them to expect.
 In addition to the 19 persons who were shot, a man sustained mortal injuries when he fell from the sec ond story window of a building which he was footing.
