I found Friedrich & Katharina Will arriving on the SS Kroonland into New York on 26 February 1905, out of Antwerp, last of Neu Pazna; originally listed as Croatian; crossed out and replaced with German; bound for a friend, Fredrich Lebherz of Sharon, Pennsylvania. He is 25, and she is 18. They are travelling with a Friedrich Busman, also of Neu Pazna.
Neu Pazna may be rightly Neu Pasua, which is today, Nova Pazova.
There is an association of Donauschwaben from this village alive and well in Reutlingen, Germany, and their website (in German) is available here:

There's a good map of the area, and you will find Neu Pasua on the far right side of the map, just left of the Danube (Donau) River:
