Internal Explosion Caused Quick
Destruetion-Churchill Explains

LONDON. May 10. lO:45 p. m.-The
Cunard. line steamship Lusitania
which was sunk last week on ola
head OF kinsale by a submarine. was
struck by only one torpedo, according

the steamer. given today at the coro-
ners inquest at Kinsaie. But this
deadly missile found a vital spot and
sent the liner TO the bottom In less
man 20 minutes, carrying with her
over thousand souls.
The evidence OF Captain Turner
which cleared up many other points
concerning the disaster. and that OF
other members OF the crew OF the
vessel with general knowledge OF
the situation. led the Jury to bring in
a yetdict OF Wholesale murder

government and the Officers OF the

In a statement in the house OF com

second explosion which the passen-
gers heard was an internal one. and
that the engines having been put out

This idea OF an internal explosion

or two OF her compartments flooded.
II Is evident. however. they say. that
II the torpedo penetrated the hull and
the charge of 42O pounds of explosive
was detonated IL would have created
ar effect similar to the, explosion of
magazine within a ship. There is
little wonder. therefore. they say, that
the Lusitania sank so rapidly, or that
so many persons were killed by the
fumes of the explosive.
Look After Themselves.
On the question of why no naval es-
cort accompanied the Lusitania, Mr..
Churchill explained In the House of
Commons that the policy of the ad-
miralty Is that merchantmen must
look after themselves. This policy
was due TO the fact that the admiral
