perian Was Not Torpedoed.
Washington, Sept. 1S.-The case of
the Allan liner Hesperian, which was
destroyed by an explosion about two
weeks ago near Fastnet, has become
practically a closed incident at the
state department. Secretary Lansing
received the report on Thursday, and
the department is disposed to accept
the German explanation. The main
point in the admiralty report is that
the vessel could not have been de-
stroyed by German torpedo. for the
reason that the reports from subma-
rines at the time of the accident show
that none of them was in that locality.
