JH New York, April IS. The Cunard liner Carpathia, benriug
mil tll? survivors of t,le sunken steamship Titanic was making
HJJ - her way slowly toward New York today, groping through the
P. - fog, her wireless silent as that of the stricken vessel, a small
F f i:nrt Avnosc hmnnn cargo shq carries. According to best
L f reckoning she will rcaeli her dock here not before I o'clock
l tomorrow morning. Wireless messages bombarded the Car-
f patina all last night and Joday. but with little result.
Ml Even President's Request RtE'fused.
)r Even a message from President TafL asking for news of his
! aide, Major Butt, remained unanswered, and the indications
"" are no details of the disaster will be known until the Carpa-
thia reaches port.
Mi Judging from the nature lof the few messages from the sur-
III vivors. the inference is that most of them are unaware of the
H awful tragedy that took place aboard the Titanic after she
bad been abandoned. Thus many wives are ignorant that
their husbands have perished and arc hoping they -were
Hj ' picked up by passing liners which subsequently rendered
jy service similar to that of the. Carpathia.

that there aro only 705 survivors of

I bo learned, has come from the Car

ing the exact number of shipwrecked

Now York, April 18. Tho following
statement regarding the rumor' that
John B. Thayor, second vico president
of the Pennsylvania railroad, IB not
I among tho survivors of the Titanic
aboard tho Carpathia was given out
today by the Pennsylvania road:
"The Pennsylvania railroad officials
most emphatically deny that a por
sonal message of any kind has been
received from Mr. J. B. Thayer or
member of his family who aro on
board the Carpathia bound for New
York. The only information regarding
Mr. Thaer and his family received
by this company ban come from tho
offices of tho White Star lino, which
Is that J. B. Thayor, Mre. Thajcr and
J. B, liayor, Jr , aro among thc pns
sengera on board the Carpathln. ,
Vice President Franklin of the.
White Star line, authorized the fol
lowing statement:
"The Cedric will sail as scheduled
at noon today."
Will Be No Transfer at Sea.
C. W. Thomas, assistant manager of
tho traffic department of the Whito
Star line, said no arrangemont had
been made to transfer J. Bruce Ismay,
managing director of tho Internation
al Merchant Marine company, ' from
the Carpathia to tho CCedric at sea
and that ns far as ho knew Mr. Ismaj
would remain aboard the Carpathia.
A representative of IL H, Mack &
Co. said an official of the firm had
received by wireless confirmation
that Isador Straus and his wife woro
not among the survivors on tho Car
pathia. The fog is setting in tMck down the
bay and as far out as Sandy Hook
and If It continues it doubtless will
delay tho arrival of the Carpathia.

Mexico City. April IS Mexico re
plied to tho warning note of acting

sponsibility for Orozco's acts, den
iiiy tho right of the Washington gov
ernment to deliver the admonition
contained therein, taking exception ro
tho communication directed to Oroz
co through Consul Letcher, and de
ploring the making public of this
name note to which the government
was required to mako an answer.
The icply was made public by Min
ister of Foreign Relations Calero. It
denies the right of tho Washington
government to admonish Mexico, for
the reason that the admonition is not
based on any justifiable incident. 'It
denies responsibility by the constitut
ed government for acts committed in
territory in rebellion while accepting
full responsibility for every loss or
damage sustained hy foreigners legal
ly chargeable to tbe govornment
A caution has been issued to lead
ers of the federal forces to insuie
proper treatment of foreigners who

the Same time as it Is asserted that no
basis exists for supposing that any
other course will be pursued.
Orozco 1b held -to be answerable for

Thrilling Experience of
a Submarine Crew .
Under Ocean
San Francisco. April IS Eight
members of the crew of tho submarine
boat Carp drank champagne on tho
bottom of the ocean yesterday and
then won a toss with death,
A cable caught in a hawse pipe had
Imprisoned them for an hour and a
half at a depth of 20,0 feet, farther
under the waves than a diving vessel
ever had gone before.
No Hope of Freeing Cable.
There whs no hopo of freeing tho
cable The onh chance lay in using
the compressed air in tho submarine
to force out the 26 tons of water in
the submerging tanks to give tho boat
sufficient buoyancy to tear It loose. If
tHe jammed cable still held tho men
would suffocate. The compressed air
was soht into the tanks.
Big Tube Rocked and Groaned.
The big steel tube rocked and
groaned for an instant and was still
again The prisoners looked at tho
pressure gauge and saw that the ves
sel was still fast. Lieutenant B. S.
Smith, In command, ordered the men
to run back and forth along tho alley
of the Ill-foot craft In the hope of
startln gvlbrajions that would releaso
the boat. Suddenly the men were
thrown on their backs and the pres
sure gauges fell.
Shot 100 Feet Into Air.
The ere wof a large ship overhead
saw a large fish nose shoot 100 feet
into the air and then tho submarine
righted itsolf on the surface. The
men wcro bruised, but not seriously
injured.
The submarine was drawn under
the water b.v a cable attached to a
ten-ton weight at the bottom of tho
bay in a special government test to
determine tho pressure resitting pow -er
of the boat at great denth.
Windlass Would Not Work
Tho Carp's windings was used In
drawing the craft down. The men
had orders to remain at the bottom
ton minutes. Champagne and sand
wiches had boon provided and thp
men drank a last glass, heforo re
versing the windlass to go to tho sur
face. The windlass would not work,
hut this contingency had been pio
ided for by a device to cut tho cabh.
The cable was cut, but it was then
that the Imprisoned men realized that
the other cable had caught in tbe
hawse pipe.
