1t is not easy to write about the
dreadful war between the north and
the south. We press our breasts
against a thorn when we do. 1t Is

Counselor Lansing Of the state de-

by the British admiralty were of a
nature which would become innocu-

Lansing said, had given similar as.
surances.
The United States has never been
able to fire responsibility for the asci-
dents to the American cotton ships
Carib and Evelyn, and naval officers
say II will be a difficult task to de-
termine from an examination % the
Nebraskan's hull whether a mine or
torpedo struck her. An investlga.
ton, nevertheless, will be ordered
when the ship reaches peril. A stint
lar inquiry was made by naval at
taches Of the American embassy when
the American steamer Gulhigbt reach
ed port, and II was determined that
German submarine was respons-
ible. There has been intimatlon since
then, however that Germany in ner
reply would deny responsibility for
the wrecking OF the Gulflight.
So far as the state department IL
informed there is no British mine
field near where the Nebraskan was
struck.
The fact that THE Nebraskan was
under charter TO a British concern,
partly American owned, prior to
sailing on her return voyage, It was
said by officials, would not affect her
status. She carried no contraband
and was engaged in no hostile ser
vice, being bound for Hampton Roads
to take on coal for the United States
navy to be carried as freight to San
Francisco.

Nebraskan TOTpedOed
off Coast Of Ireland
No Warning 10 Given by Submarine
No Passengers Aboard and No
Lives Are Lost


steamer Nebraskan, Captain Green.
from Liverpool, May a., for Delaware
breakwater, was torpedoed last night
by submarine at a point forty miles
west southwest of Eastnet Off south
coast of Ireland.
The sea was calm at the time. The
crew at once took to the boats and
stood by the steamer.
1t was soon ascertained that the
Nebraskan was not seriously damag-
ed. She had been struck forward
and her foreholds were full Of water.
The crew returned on board and
got the vessel under way. No lives
were lost among the crew. The Ne
braskan did not carry any passeng-
ers..
The foregoing information was re-
ceived today by the British admiral
ty In London and 1t was at once COM
municated to the American embassy.
LimpIng Back to Port
The torpedoing Of the Nebraskan
apparently occurred before Q o'clock
last night. Yesterday evening was
clear and the period between and Q
o'clock is the twilight hour in the
British Isles at this season.
A message to Lloyds says that an
armed trawler went to the assistance
of the Nebraskan and stood by her
all night.
The Nebraskan passed Queenstown
this afternoon on her way to Liver
pool. She was.proceeding under her
own steam at s knots an hour.
A message to the Star from Liver
pool says that the name and national
fly of the Nebraskan we're painted In
large letters on her sides. She was
In water ballast.
The German submarine campaign
is continuing actively. Dispatches
from Norway say the people Of that
country have been aroused by the
sinking last week of the Norwegian
steamer Minerva and the attempt to
torpedo the Iris, whish went to her
assistance.
The steamer Cromer, loaded with
passengers, had narrow escape from
being torpedoed near the North Hin
der lightship while bound for Rotter-
dam yesterday. A torpedo fred with
out warning from submarine miss
ed the Cromer only fifteen yards.

was learned today that a submarine
was seen last night of the southern
coast Of Ireland. She was sighted
shortly after 9 p. m. near Galley
cove, which is Just south Of here and
about ten miles from Fastnet. No
connection has been established be-
tween this incident and the mishap
to the steamer Nebraskan, which is
reported to have occurred shortly be-
fore 9 o'clock at a point about forty
miles from Fastnet.
A steamer was seen outside Crook
haven at about Q o'clock last night.
AS she approached in the direction Of
Fastnet lighthouse two loud reports
OF gun were heard. A boat in
Crookhaven harbor went in the diree-
tion of the steamer. which put about
and was lost to sight.
Several residents of Crookhayen
went along the shore, keeping a
sharp lookout. They sighted a sub
marine off Galley cove. One of the
men on shore fired two shots with a
rife at the men in the coming tow
er of the submarine. The submers-
ible dived Immediately.
