Department is not known definitely, but
officials are inclined to believe that the
sources OF Information on this question
open to state Department representa-
tives abroad have been practically ex-
hausted. The evidence AT hand includes
statements by the officers or the Hes
perian expressing their belief that their

fact that pieces of metal fell on the
decks after the explosion. and say that
examination OF these pieces satisfied
them that Il must have been a torpedo
which caused the explosion,
So far as Is known TO this Govern
ment however, these scraps OF metal

sidered that this Government can ac-

Since the Hesperian is at the bottom

there Is much prospect of getting further

the tendency here is to believe that the

Government has not now grounds for
making any representations to Germany

accepted II is not expected that II will
ever be possible to ascertain which one of
the belligerent Governments was re-
sponsible for the mine being In such
