Captains of incoming steamships are still bringing reports of ice. Capt.
Domeniconi of the Principe di Piemonte, in yesterday from Naples, reported that on April 22 in latitude 40:39, longitude 48:48 his boat passed an iceberg 900 feet long and 120 feet high. He had been warned of ice and stood far to the south, he said, and had seen this berg further south than he had ever known one to get before. The polar current, he said, was trending southwest through the centre of the Gulf Stream.
