The Sable Island cable ship Minta reported this morning, through the wireless station here, that she had sighted a great mass of wreckage, but no boats or rafts fromj the Titanic. This, for the time being, disposes of the hope that the Minia, which had anchored off Cape Race when f'he Titanic first called for help, might have picked up some of the Titanie's passengers.

"mmmmm Tp to 1:30 o'clock this morning, so far as could be learned at any of the coast no syllable of tidings had come from the Carpathia since she was able, by the aid of the Olympic's relay many hours before, to send waveringiy ashore a list of the names of first and second cabin Titanic survivors whom she had on board. It is thought feared would be the better word that this list how vir tually is complete.

As for the rest, direct advices from Sable island re ported that weather conditions were bad for transmission and that only faint communication was had with the ship, she being barely within range. It was thought, too, that the wireless operator on the Carpathia had become fatigued from his long siege at the key and that he was resting, perhaps, preparing for transmission of messages when the ship comes into communication with stations on the American coast. The brief and meager messages that came to hand today virtually extinguished hope that some of the Ill-fated passengers may have been picked up at sea by the Virginian and Parisian of the Allan line. Both thee steamers sent word that they have none of the Titanie's survivors on hoard. Of the persons rescued by tbe Carpathia.

The Carpatbia evidently was out of wireless range toward noon, for after that efforts to reach her with wireless communications were futile and a score or more of messages from tbe Cunard company and other sources" were unanswered. At 6 :00 o'clock this afternoon Vice-President Franklin of the White Star line said that so far as lie knew the Olympic was still standing by the Curpathla to relny wireless messages. He added that he bad received no word from the Olympic since 9:00 o'clock this morning and had been unable to get either the Carpathii or Olympic by wireless. intern Vv tawm St3 tmmm mm Comparative Height 'ft tffcV'1'-ft whmi--'- Smoke Room of the Ill-Fated sentatives of the Standard Oil company, W.

The trans-Atlantic lines have agreed in consequence of reports as to the ice in the Atlantic to cross longtltude 7 in latitude 40.10 eastbound, beginning today, and longitude 47 in latitude 41 westbound, beginning April 25. 1 Mr.

Carlisle added: "Everything that could reasonably be thought of was done in the case of the Titanic and the Olympic regarding the arranging of bulkheads and other details to minimize the risk of ordinary accident." As to the number of boats carried by the Titanic, Mr. Carlisle said: "I am of the opinion that the larg ahipg of the present day do not carry anything like a sufficient number of boats, but until the board of trade and governments of other countries require sufficient boats to be carried, ship owners cannot afford such extra top weight. "As a matter of fact, both the Titanic and the Olympic were fitted with davits designed for and capable of carrying four times the number of boats actually fitted in the ships when they went to sea. Although a large margin was then left, I think I am correct in saying that the Titanic carried BO per cent more than the number of boats required by the board of trade ruli." M. Carlisle also thought the board of trade should make it compulsory to close the watertight compartment door of ships between sunset and sunrise.

He continued: "If the points as to the closing of the watertight compartment doors and the carrying of boats are carried out the public will be SO per cent safer." The White Star company, has received messages of sympathy from the German emperor and Prince Henry of Prussia. FATE OF NARONIC IS RECALLED BY SINKING OF THEJJNER TITANIC New York, April IS. In the melancholy role of marine tragedies that which overtook the Titanic is the first on record wherein a conspicuous vessel has met disaster on her maiden voyage. The nearest approach to such an unfortunate fate was the cruise of the Naronic, which belonged to the same line. Carrying about 300 all told, she steamed out of this port on her return trip, nearly 20 years ago, and since then there has never been a word as to how she met her fate.

Palatial OFFICIAL FIGURES ARE ANNOUNCED BY THE WHITE STAR OFFICIALS Nsw Tork. April 1 6. With the official number of lives saved placed by the White Star line officials at 868 the death list of the ill-fated Titanic tonight is placed at 1,312, from the cabled passenger and crew figures from the London office of the company, The treasury department through the customs offices has given orders to expedite the landing of the survivors of the Titanic and to aid them in every way possible upon arrival of the Carpathia.

Customs regulations have been suspended and the customs officers will aid the survivors in finding relatives and friends. Number of Survivors. Vice-President Franklin said late this afternoon that his list of survivors showed that 203 out of 325 first cabin passengers and 114 out of 285 second cabin passengers had been accounted for. Charles B. Sumner, general agent of the Cunard line in this country, said tonight that he believed the Carpatbia was within 60 or TO miles of the Titanic when the big ship struck the iceberg.

Mr. Sumner, who triad vainly to high. I'M i v- -Iff Sitting Room of the said he merely advanced this as a supposition. It was estimated that both the scout cruiser Chester and her sister ship, the Salem, would be in touch with the Boston wireless station before midnight. The cruisers are expected to communicate an information ma; acquire to Washington.

Mr. Franklin stated that the White Star line would lose about $3,000,000. "This will be the smallest part of our loss," he added. Captain Rostron of the Carpathia, In his last wireless report to the Cunard company, said that his vessel was pro. seeding slowly through a field of ice to this port.

President Taft late this afternoon directed the secretary of the navy to order the scout cruisers Salem and Chester to the scene from Hampton roads to meet the Carpathia and send by wireless to the government a complete list of the Titanie's survivors. The Chester wag caught by wireless about 40 miles off the Chesapeake capes and by 4:00 o'clock was steaming northward, aim. ing to get as quickly as possible into touch with the steamers having' news on the disaster. Revenue cutters also were notified to stand In readiness to proceed to the Carpathia if necessary. In the event that the Salem had not sufficient coal Instructions were given to dispatch the cruiser Sorth Carolina Instead.

A possible chance of obtaining news bearing on the disaster was expected early this evening when the Leyland liner, California, came into the eone of wireless communication With Sable island. The California was reported at the scene of disaster shortly after the Titanic went down and it was thought probable that she would have information to communicate. Captain Rostron of the Carpathia has been instructed to send full details of the sinking of the Titanic. All day tearful and anxious throngs swarmed the officers of the White Star line and overflowed it to Broadway, stopping trafic at times and keeping the police reserves busy maintaining jjrder.

April 16 Capt. Charles Campbell, veteran seaman attached to the government hydrographlc office here, said tonight that "longitudinal stress" on tbe hip heat probably caused the sudden i sinking when the Titanic struck the Ice-I berg. I "There Is no doubt in my mind that i longitudinal stres caused the sudden plunge." the captain said. "When tbe impact occurred, one end of the boat was turned upward naturally.
