New York, July 2.—In the appalling disaster which fell with snch awful swiftness on the port of New York on Saturday the loss of life and property goes far beyond any similar catastrophe recorded- -in itw• history. * Oomervative estimates made yesterday, after the excitement of the night before had died down and some sort of order had been evolved out of the chaos and wreck, placed the number of the victims at 150, of which 120 were roasted in the huge ovens Into which the holds and lower compartments of the three ships were converted or drowned In the waters of the Hudson river under a fiery pall of swirling sparks. Thirty were caught on the piers alongside of which the burning vessels wcrr moored and either were suffocated by choking clouds of !fclaek smoke, torn to pieces by explosion or driven to death In the frensled leap into the swift running tide. y* A tow 1 IiomoC lie Cn. ~i traa 30c 3rd New York, July 2—Thp aeaich for the bodies of victims of the big Hoboken fire was renewed at daylight. An augmented fores of divers and grapplers were put to work on the wreeke. The 8aals is grounded off Ellla Island. The Main and the Bremen arc beached neai Weehawken. Accompanying each searching party Is • gruesome supply of ooffins. It is believed the list of dead will reach 260, perhaps more. Twenty- two bodies or fragments of bodies have been reoovered. One hundred and nine Injured persons have been treated In the hospitals. Thirtytwo persons have been reported missing. On all sides todsy thsre sre indignation and horror at tales of avarice on the part of tugboat captains, Who/in their eager nees to secure sslvsge, refused to save human life. Some of the survivors msntion names [of tugs and oaptalns easily to bs found. It is believed that if oases can be proven against them, their master licenses will be revoked on the ground of unfitness. Dramatlo incidents without number continue to be heard. An officer of the Baale was seen to blow out his brslns when he found desth from ths fl imee inevitable. Fifteen of the crew of the Main, »fter being hours in the burning hold of the vessel, erswled to sstety up a small pipe to an opening large enough for them to crawl through.

The fact 4hat correspondents in China telegraphed Atom Hongkong on June 10 the report "that Baron von Ketteler, thtf OeriMG iMder at Peking, had been murdered indicates that his death, granttag that the news Is true, occurred before the dais given by Consul General Goodnow. Government officials here, while not earing to' express apy opinion as .to the accuracy of the statements of Mr. | Goodnow, are apparently inclined to put fafttk in them. Shanghai is a hotbed;of sensationalism at all times of trouble Jn China and has not lessened its reputation in that regard in the existing crisis, but Mr. Goodnow has not sent any reports thlTl he did not believe to be true. The /Tact that the state department made public the contents of his dispatches, 'not even suppressing the strictures on tlio character of Prince Tuan. is especially significant, indicating that the government must have good reason to believe that Mr. Goodnow's information is authentic. It is noticeable that Mr. Goodnow did not send at the time (June 20) the statement that a dispatch had been received in Shanghai from the Viceroy of Pe-chi-ll that the other foreign ministers, Von Ketteler excepted, were sflffe. His mention of It six days later is evidence that he has satisfied himself that the viceroy's report was correct. "News reached hera from Peking today to the effect" tHtt Baron von Ketteler, the Greman mi ulster, was killed on June 18 by Chinese troop*.

It may and probably will be more. .No record exists by which can. be competed within .even 40 par cent of accuracy the exact number of men, women and children th&t were on the piers and in the ships when the flames, sweeping with almost the suddenness of the lightning's flash, ingulfed them. Of the men in the bowels of the styps, employed at their several duties and en* tared on the roster, there may be an estimate made, but of th€ arftiy of'laborers, the workers on the docks, the men who are ciphers, on the records of the steamship companies—no computation aa to how many of that class fell victims to fire and water ever will be made. Total Namhfr Never Will Be Kbowb. It Will be possible'in a day or two to find how many men of family are in the missing list, but the wandering workers -—the brawny young fellows who go from ship to ship and from pier to pier and are to all intents and purposes unknowns —that roster never can be made complete.That any large number of visitors either to the jjlers or the ships were loat Is not probable, but figured out to ifa ultimate there is no system of calculation by which this particular estimate oan be made. Averages are not possible. The differences are so great on different days and on different ships that a mean la not obtainable. -DThe officials the North German Lloyd Steamship company go beyond the .figures given as the result of investigation -by the police of Hoboken (which is baaed principally upon the inquiries mado for the missing) and have cabled to the home office in Bremen that the loas of life will reach 200. Nineteen bodies had been recovered up to midnight last night, apd of this number six have been identified. The search along--the"river front in the vicinity of the burned piers was continued yesterday in a perfunctory way, because the belief among the searchers appeared to be general that any and all victims whq cast themselves or were driven into the river and drowned have heeq parried ottf to sea.

The property loss will fall not far short of $10,000,000, and this estimate is as conservative .*s the estimate of the loss of life. Not ftntil the adjusters get to work and figure out the cost of replacing what has been lost can the value of the food fed to the flames be reckoned with exactitude. . The Saale, with her horrible sepulcher below decks, is a total loss. Her warped and bUtckened hull is all that is left of her. The Main, the great freighter of the line, is in a plight almost as bad as her sister ship, and the Bremen is damaged to the extent of $700,000. All this is outside of cargo and stores. The docks of the North German Lloyd company are no longer docks. They have been wiped out of existence completely. The piers that formed their boundaries are a forest of charred spiles and bent and twisted iron. Every pound of freight on the piers was destroyed. ' In the place of the long wharf of the Thingvalla line there is nothing now but anr expanse of water and a few charcoal topp&d spiles.
