WASHINGTON ACTION ON
NEBRASKAN UNDETERMINED
Awaiting a More Definite Statement
of Assault on the Ship.

Washington, May 26.-The course of
the United States government in the
case of the American steamer Nebras-
kan, damaged off the coast of Ireland,
was undetermined tonight because Of
fcials were without definite informa-
ton as to whether the ship was tor
pedOed or struck a mine.
Messages from Ambassador Page
and Consul General Skinner at Lon
don today transmitted the report of
the British admiralty that the vessel
had been tOrpedoed, but officials noted
with much interest the captains re-
port to his owners, indicating a doubt
as to whether the NebraSkan was hit
by a, torpedo or a, mine
President Wilson himself read all the
official and unofficial dispatches. In
view of the positive position which the
United States has taken on the sub
ject of submarine activity in the war
zone and the delicacy of the situation
with Germany arising out of the Lusi-
tania disaster, the story Of the Ne
braskan'S experience is awaited with
unusual interest. Should it develop
clearly that she was torpedoed with
out warning an aggravating circum-
stance will have been added to an al
ready tense situation, notwithstanding
the fact that no lives were lost.

PAN AMERICAN CONFERENCE
GETTING. DOWN TO BUSINESS
May Result in Formation of Gigantic
Steamship Corporation.

Washington, May 26.-Ccnferences
between representatives of the finap-
cial and business interests of the
United States and delegates from
South and Central America attend
ing the Pan-American financial co 4
ference were continued today in the
effort to bring about a clear under
standing of the desires and needs of
the southern republics.
There was no general session of the
conference and the oratory that has
marked previous meetings gave way
to statements of facts about the con-
dftions facing the various countrie es
and the necessity for credit and cash
to aid in their development.
The committee on transportation
which has under consideration what
many of the delegates regard as the
most important question which the
conference has faced, entrusted its
work to a subcommittee, which is
not expected to report until Friday
There were rumors tonight that there
might result from the conference a
gigantic steamship corporation backed
by all the interested countries to in
sure rapid. regular and safe trans
portation between North and South
America.
1t was pointed out, however, during
the discussion of this subject, that SC
far as the United States is concerned
it's official representatives have no au-
thority to enter into any negotiations
along this line and that it is well
known that private capital in the
United States is reluctant to go into
shipping enterprises without assur-
ances that there will be a. modification
of the navigation laws and amend
ments to the Simmons act passed by
the last congress.

FLETCHER FAILS IN DEFENSE
OF ATLANTIC SEABOARE
Invading Fleet Established a Base in
Chesapeake Bay.

Washington, May 26.-Superiority of
the enemy" in units representing fast
and heavily armed battle cruisers,
coupled with weather conditions ia
vorable for an attack, brought about
the failure of Admiral FIetchers de-
fense of the Atlantic seaboard in the
naval war game which closed yester-
day, with Rear Admiral Beatty's in
vaders in a position to establish a base
in Chesapeake bay.
The story Of the game as told in
reports of the commanding officers to
the navy department today, revealed
that Admiral Beatty with a theoret-
fcally stronger force, engaged the main
body of the defending fleet last Thurs
day and destroyed about half of Ad-
miraI F1etchers scouts while easily
eluding the supporting dreadnoughts.
Then, when Admiral Fletcher drew
off to guard against a movement
against New England or New York,
the enemy swept southwark prepared
to establish a base of operations by
landing an expedition from his trans
ports and at the same time faced
northward with sufficient force to deal
with any squadron the defenders might
send against him,
Admiral F1etcher's defensive cam
paign was described as a good one, but
he was handicapped not only by the
weather and lack of speedy scouts
with long range guns, but by inabiI-
ity to have submarines on the scene
when the final test against the enemy
came.

KING OF ITALY TO SHARE
HARDsHIPs WITH SOLDIERS
Is at the Front in Supreme Command
Permanently, Not for a Visit.

Rome via Paris, May 27. 1915 a.
m.-Although the departure of the
king for the front was kept secret,
the news spread both here and in the
provinces.
The king actually has assumed su-
preme command of all the land and
naval forces. He is going to the front,
not for a visit, but permanently, to
work with his soldiers and share in
their hardships4an risks and divide
with his generals the responsibilities.
Victor Emmanuel. who by nature is
earnest and determined, but of a re-
tiring disposition and opposed to any
form of publicity concerning himself,
did all that wass possible to reach the
front incognito. But all Italians knew
his movements and followed with
their thoughts the train that was
bearing to the front the great grand
son of King Charles Albert, who, in
abdicating the throne of Italy on the
battlefield at Novara in 1S4S after his
defeat by the Austrians, bequeathed
to his descendants the sword of the
kings of Savoy, which he requested
never should be sheathed until the
Austrians were entirely driven from
Italian lands.

The Netherlands government, il was
asserted, like every other government,
feels the deepest horror over the sink
ing of the liner, but as there is no
direct evidence that any Dutch subjects
lost their lives in the catastrophe, no
action can be taken simply on general
humanitarian principles unless all the
neutral nations agree to make a move
together.
Even should Hollanders have been
killed aboard the Lusitania, it was add
ed the matter probably would be set
