NAMES OF BUT FEW MEN APPEAR IN THE LIST GREAT WHITE STAR LINER WAS CRUSHED BY ICEBERG AND SOON WENT TO BOTTOM The Titanic Crashed Info Iceberg at WAS Sunday Night and Went to Ocean Grave at 2:20 Monday Morning. SCENE OF UTTER DESOLATION GREETED THE RESCUE STEAMERS THAT ANSWERED Q. CALL When These Vessels Reached the Place Where the Accident Occurred the Titanic Was Deep in Her Ocean Grave, and Only Bits of Wreckage Were to Be Seen. Nearly 700 of the Passengers, Mostly Women and Children, Had Taken to Boats and Were Picked Up. The Titanic Went to the Bottom Four Hours Before Any Vessel Reached the Place Where the Giant Ship Struck Iceberg.

Probably 1,800 Lives Were tost New "York, April 15. The text of the message from the steamship Olympic, reporting the sinking of the Titanic and the rescue of 675 survivors, which reached here late tonight, also expressed the opinion that 1,800 lives were lost. "The loss likely totals 1,800 souls," the dispatch said in its concluding sentence. The Olympic's dispatch follows: "Carpatbia reached Tjtanic position at daybreak. Found boats and wreckage only.

Titanic sank about 2 20 a. m. in 41:16 north, 50:14 west. All her boats accounted for, containing about 675 souls saved, crew and passengers included. Nearly all saved women "and children.

Leyland liner remained and searching exact position of disaster. Loss likely to total 1,800 souls." New York, April More than 1,500 persons, it is feared, sank to death early Monday morning, when, within less than foor i hours after she crashed into an. iceberg, the mammoth White Star Line steamship Titanic, bound from Liverpool to New York, on her maiden voyage, went to the bottom off the Newfoundland banks. Of the approximately persons on board the giant liner, some of them of world wide prominence, only 675 are known to have been saved. The White Star Line offices in New York, while keeping up hope to the last, were free to admit that there had been "horrible loss of life." DISASTER IS SAID TO BE GREATEST IN MARINE HISTORY OF WORLD Accepting the early of the fatality list as accurate, the disaster is the greatest marine history of the world.

Nearest approaching it in magnitude were the disasters to that steamship Atlantic in when 574 lives lost and La I Bourgognc in 1898, with a fatality list of 571. Should it prove that other liners, notably Allan liners Pari sian and Virginian, known to have been in" the vicinity of the. Titanic early yesterday, had picked up other of her passengers, the extent of the calamity would be greatly reduced. This hope still remains. liTsS NEWS OF THE DISASTER SHOCKING OWING TO EARLY HOPEFUL REPORTS News of the sinking of the liner and the terrible loss of life in consequence came early this evening with all the greater shock because hope had been buoyed up all day by reports that the steam ship, although badly damaged, was not in a sinking condition and that all her passengers had been safely taken off.

The messages were mostly unofficial, however, and none came direct from the liner, so a lurking fear remained of possible bad news to come. Shortly after 7 o'clock tonight there came flashing over thci wires from Cape Race, within 400 miles of which liner had struck the iceberg, word that at 2:20 o'clock Monday morning, three hours' and fifty five minutes after receiving her death the Titanic had sunk. WHEN CARPATHIA REACHED SCENE TITANIC WAS AT THE BOTTOM The news came from the steamship Carpathia, relayed by Urtfji White Star liner Olympic, and revealed that by the time the Car pathfa, outward bound from New York and rating for the Titanic ireless ca.ll, reached the scene the doomed vessel had' sunk. Left on the surface, however, were life boats from the 'i in as from the meager reports received up I.
