New York, June 23.—Evidence of a
start ing nature, which aounxieee wm >
have an important bearing on the xxltl-
mate result of the coroner’s inquiry
into the General Blocum diueter, wa*
forthcoming at the inquest
today.
Perhaps tbe moot unexpected incident
was the continued refusal to anawer
questions of Henry I undberg, a United
States siesmbont inspector, who was
supposed to have inspected the life pre-
servets and the hull of the ill fated
fteamer. His refusal was based on the
ground that an answer might tend to
incriminate him, and he acted on the
adv ire of his counsel.

number of the recovered to date to the
appalling total of 845. Of these 700
have been identified and the missing
are approximated at something more
than 300. Many of the bodies last
