AMERICAN SHIPS
 ACCIDEN TALLY SUNK

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The off ciar report Of Capt Gherardi of his inyestigation of the sinking of the American cotton steamers Carlo and Evelyn in the North sea was received today directly from Berlin. The re- port finds that both vessels were sunk by coming in contact with mines, and that reports received through unofI- cial channels, and based on rumor from both Berlin and London were er- roneous. The report says:
 Both boats were sunk by mines; there was no false directions given by British boats They simply ran on mined fields"
 It has been reported from Berlin that the vessels were sunk because British naval officers had purposely directed them falsely; and from Lon don 1t had been reported that they were sunk by German submarines.
