REPORTED BLOWN
Navy Officials Do Not Believe
Rumor Probably Original
ing in This Country. -

Washington, Nov. 11.-Seeretary
Daniels has ordered the division OF
operations in the navy department to
get into communication as quickly as
possible with the cruisers North Caro-
lima and Tennessee, to learn if one or
them had met with a mishap, as had
been rumored during the day.
The secretary and other naval Off
cials said they did not feel the slight
est apprehension for the injury of
either vessel, but thought it advisable
to allay any alarm by getting definite
advices. Rumors were in the air
throughout the day that the North
Carolina had been blown up by a mine
at Beirut, but so far as could be dis
covered all reports originated within
the United States.
Officials pointed out that while cable
communication with Turkey is slow,
they were in touch with CONSTANT
nople and Beirut, from which points
any accidents would lave been
promptly reported. Similarly, British
ships near Turkey would have report
ed to the British admiralty. The navy
department last heard directly from
the North Carolina and Tennessee on
Nov. 3. The former was at Beirut,
Syria, and the latter at Mytilene, off
the coast of Greece.
On Nov. and Nov. 9, inquiries were
sent by cable by the department to the
two vessels to learn the basis of re-
ports that one of the American cruis-
ers had landed marines, but no an
swer came. 1t developed today that no
effort had been made to learn whether
the cable companies had been able
to transmit the messages. Secretary
Daniels at once ordered that the mes
sages be traced.

Natives in India.

New York, Nov. 11.-One of the edf
tors of the Moving Picture World has
received a letter from ]. D. Williams,
formerly with the Paramount Film
company, a moving picture man now
in India, who was present at the
shelling of the port of Madras by the
German cruiser Emden.
The letter was dated Calcutta, Sept.
80. In it Mr.. Williams told of the
shooting by soldiers on the night just
previous of 800 of the Hindus, who
were refused admission to British Col
umbia when they went there to test
the Canadian immigration laws last
year. This news apparently was sup
pressed.
There has been plenty of excite
ment since my arrival here" the letter
reads. THE soldiers shot about 800
natives last night. They were part of
a crowd who had returned from Can
ada on account of not being admitted
there. They were marching on Cal
cutta to try and start trouble. l went
out to the scene of the trouble in a
motor car with a newspaper man.
There was not line in the paper
about it this morning. The English
know how to govern these natives all
