Pracucally E\ery Victim Resided in Small Seetion of East New York. e New York,/ June 17..—When the dread tale of the General Slocom dis- aster is fully told—when the blackened’ body has been taken fra the buied hull and the swift waters of Hell Gate give up their dead —the catastrophe will take its plac tho most appalling that has ever occurred in‘the inland waters of America. Defi- nite figures on the loss of life cannot yet be given. That more than 500 persons perished is a horrib’e cew tainty, but how much in excess of that number the total will run will only he known when the “missing” column is finished.
