THE CONDUCT OF THE SULTAN, J_¥. Meyer, agent of the Hamburg- American line, says he could not.un derstand why the Saultan did not plok up some of the boats of the Cim- bria. He thought it atrange con- duct on her part to leave them Lo per- ish. He feared a great many livea were lost, for after being atruck as she waa the vessel would not have floated more than fifteen or twenty miunutes. The central compartments of the ves sel, where the engines and coal bunkers are situated, are very large aud are neceesarily connected by passage ways. In the event of such an acci dont as a collision there would be no time to close the compartments, and the weight of water would eink the vessel at once, Meyer said it was probably fear of the passengers, who were Americans and refuriing touvr- {sts, who generally ship at Havre, Meyer said last evening that later dis patches from Hamburg made him fes: that no more persons were saved than those slready hoard from, He thought it probuble, from the dispatches, that not more than two boats got away from the Cimbris. The large propor- tion of sailors who were saved ho thought was due to their better knowledgo of swimming and holding on to auy floailng plece of wreckage. He was confident that many more lives would have been saved if thoves- el had remained on an even keel, The Saltan reported when she arrived that she had been in collision with a ateamer, probably the Cimbria, *‘If," at hundreds ot lives were in peril, He knew she was an emigrant vesssl and why did he not stop and seo how badly she was injured?” Oat of 23 cabin passengers 7 were They were only & flight of saved. otalre from the deck and had a better chance of escape than the steersge pussengers, who were two flights down, Three women wero saved, Miss Atten- dort of the eabln and Murs.

Goorge, August and Katenka Rommer who were in the second cabin and are among the missing, were well kncwn through Gormany as the “Suablan Nightingales.” They sang South Ger- man songs. They were billed to ap- pear ot Bials and Koster next weok. Koster engaged them three weeks ago. Ho showed their photographs to many sympathizing frlends last evenlng, and George Rommer was 20 yeara of age, He and his sisters were in Biberache, Wurtemberg.

Augusta was 21, Her brother played a zither accom- paniment to his sister's singing. ‘The cargo of the Cimbria consisted of miscellaneous foreign merchandise, and wes very valuable.

Inquiries were made at the docks In Hoboken by people who oxpectad friends on the Olmbria, The Rugls, of the line, wasj at the dock preparing to sail next Thursday. One of her officers said there was a strong poesibility that some of the boats of tho Cimbria had been plcked up by sailing vessels and taken to channel poris, where they will eoon be heard from.

Speclal Dispatchos to Tun LonpoN, January 22, —The oaptain of the steamer Sultan makes the fol- lowing atatement: The Sultan had made unsually rapid passage and sighted the Borkum light between 1 and 2 o'clock Saturday morning. The weather was hazy aud soon after beoame very foggy. The engines were eased to n dead slow and steafn was kept sounding every few seconds. The osptain and ohiel cfliser were on the bridge and twenty-threo hands were looking out forward. Sucddenly green and masthead lights cf a steamer a) peared two poluts off the starboard, and the eaptan of the Sultan thought the approaching steamer would keep her ocouree and go olear. It was notlovd, however, that she suddenly ported and came around rapidly. It was too late to douny- thing but stop and reveres, which wi done. By tho time the engines had revolved once, the captain noticed other steamer’s port light ccming rap- idly towards the Sultan’s. The next instant, with the great headway she hud on she caught the Sultan's bow- sprit on her port forerigglng, taking her right around. There was a great consiernation on board the Sultan, @& it was foared 80 much larger vessel would eink her. Tho Sultan’s crow hailed the Cimbria to stand by, but no reply was roceived. The vessels parted in the fog and & fow seconde lator the maty of the Sultan saw the Cimbris comiug up on the other side. Ho called to the German master to go full lg.!cd astern, This was done, and the Uim- bria agsin oroesed the Sultan's bows and the dlsappesred. An examiua- tion of the Sultan’s damage showed the upj urr-rt of her hawse pipe and every- thll:lg orward had been driven through the collision balkhead into the fore- castle where the crew had a narrow escape. The Bultan remained on the scene five hours aud the captain heard no sound during the whole time ard was severely blaming the Gorman captain of the Oimbria for leaving without having answered the Bultan He had no idea the Olmbria foundered until he arrived at Hamburg. Before the oollislon ocourred he heard no sound from the Cimbria's whistle, When he first saw her the Oimbria was going at full speed. Ho supposes the Saltan's beams ripped open the Cimbria's plates, SIXTEEN MORE ¥UUND, Hamsure, January 22,—The Dia- matt, one of the stesmers sont in search of the missing pnssengers and crew of the Cimbria, arrtved this af- ternoon with sixteen passengors aud the fireman of the ill-fated lElp.
