Mysterious Report Regarding Sinking of
 Two German Cruisers By British Warships

$2,500,OO0 appropriated by the gov ernment for the relief of Americans stranded in European ports was ready to start on her voyage at o'clock this morning from Tompkinsville, Staten Island, where she dropped anchor last night after leaving the New York Navy Yard.
 The Tennessee's bunkers held 2,050 tons of coal and it was said that if she should run at her maximum speed of 20 knots, this supply would run out before the end of the trip. It was expected that a collier would be sent to the other side to coal the Tennessee for her return trip. The
 executive officel of the Tennessee, Lieutenant Commander E. P. Jessop,
 however, explained that the cruiser
 would not attempt to make more than
 12 knots on the trip to conserve her coal supply. At this rate of speed,
 about ten days will be required for the trip.
 None of the officers of the Ten
 nessee knew her destination. It was
 their orders, they said. to take As sistant Secretary of War Brecken- ridge. who has complete authority, to any place his orders from Wash ington direct him. It is generally believed the cruiser will go to Lon- don. On the return trip accommoda- tions for 200 Americans will be avail able.
 The dreadnought Florida, after having been hastily coaled and pro visioned, left the Brooklyn navy yaro under sealed orders this morning and nroceeded to Tompkinsville, s. I.
 There she dropped anchor near the cruiser Tennessee, due to sail for Europe today with nearly $8,OOO,0OO in gold for the relief of Americans. , Navy yard officials would not say what was the F'lorida's destination, nor did they announce when the Ten | nessee would get under way. The Tennessee did not get under way at a. m. and it was said that
 her departure would possibly be de-
 layed until late today.

Lusitania Seeks Aid
 of British Cruiser

New York, Aug. 6.-Further word of the big English liner Lusitania now lodging German cruisers in a race for England, was brought to New York today by the oil tank steamer Tonawanda from London and Antwerp. Captain Hart said that yesterday he heard the Lusitania in wireless communication with the British cruiser Essex, saying that a foreign cruiser was following her and asking the Essex to stand by. Later the Essex went in search of the for eigner.
 During three days past, said Cap- tain Hart, the wireless brought news of the presence Of British, Frerch and German cruisers. None was sighted. however The French liner LaLorraine, bearing nearly a thou sand reservists bound for France was seen seventy miles west of Fire Is- land.
 The British ship Kansas City which sailed yesterday for Bristol turned about today and made for Perth Am boy, N. J. The White Starl finer Cedric, bound l hither from Queenstown and Liver pool has put into Halifax, presum- l ably fearing capture.

New York, Aug. -6.-Though the British consul declined to discuss it, report gained wide circulation to- day that Captain Agassiz of the Brit ish steamship Uranium, arriving here today had reported at the consulate that wireless messages intercepted by his ship from the Cunarder Lusita- mia had stated that two German cru1- sers pursuing the Lusitania had been pursued and sunk by British war ships.
 Captain Agassiz said he had made no such statement, and in this he was borne out by officials of the Uranium line. It is known, how ever, that the Lusitania has been lodging German war vessels while racing for England, and the report that there had been an engagement between British and German craft was received with some credence. The suggestion was made that the cap tain of the Uranium had made for mai report on the matter to the Brit ish consul and had then seen fit to keep silent about it as a matter of expediency.
 Officials of the Cunard line dis claimed all knowledge of such wire less message. The Uranium reached port yester- day. .a s1s The captain of the Cunard liner Pannonia, which arrived in port dur ing the night, said today that his ves- sel had passed through a zone pa- trolled by two German warships. Radiograms in code passing between them were intercepted.
 The Pannonia left Gibraltar July 25 and until she approached this coast l the officers had no knowledge of the . situation in Europe.
 ! Several hundred miles out she re- ceived a message from a British crul. ser warning her to beware of cap. ture All lights except those nec' essary to the navigation of the sh1r
 were immediately extinguished. Early yesterday the Pannonia passed | the Lusitania. The ship was darl
 except for her running lights and
 was being driven along at h'gf rate Of speed. Soon after the Pan
 nonia was in communication with {
 British warship which informed he
 that she might go ahead without fea as there were several British ship
 within wireless call.
 Later the Pannonia wireless opera tor heard German cruisers in com ! munication with each other. Tn 1 Pannonia brought GOA passe ngers T the first and second cabins.
 The Hamburg American Line em phatically denied today reports tia the steamer Vaterland was being fitte' l out here as cruiser or that sh
 would sail on any mission whatever
 Guards about the pier were stil maintained today and presumably a a precaution against approach b. l small boats with hostile intent, 1 huge net was stretched across th stern of the vessel.

Uranium Line officials who saw Captain Hessig after his arrival here, said today that the captain had not reported intercepting such a message and that they were unable to con- firm it. ..s
 The wireless station at Sayville to which the alleged message from the Lusitania was addressed according to Captain Hessig said today that it had not received such a message.
 The message, Captain Hessig said, contained the additional information that the Lusitania was continuing on it's trip to England.
 The Lusitania sailed from New York with darkened lights, shortly before o'clock yesterday morning.
