Shrinking of Steamer Evelyn Tragic AccideJ

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-The American steam CT Evelyn, twelve hundred tons, owned by Harris, Irby & Vosc, of New York, bound from New York to Bremen with a cargo of cotton, was sunk by a mine off Borkum island in the North Sea. The crew of the steamer, twenty-eight in number, were saved, while the vessel was total loss together with it's cargo. The latter was valued at $350,0O0 and was insured by the United States government.
 The spot where the Evelyn went down is in Ger man waters, a few miles off the coast of Hanover, and is not within the danger prescribed by Ger many. As the nationality of the mine which sunk the steamer is unknown, probably diplomatic action will be taken further than to file with Ger many a claim for damages.
