 This. statement was made today by James J Leary of Brooklyn, who de- clales he heard the captain say his ship was not mortally hurt
 Leary says the captain ordered an examination after the first shock.

 Captain Turner had barely finished speak kirg when second explosion vas heard Within five minutes l was in The sea.

London. May 10.-6S:1o a. m.)--The question asked in almost every English newspaper editoriaily is:
 What will America do?" and there is ample evidence of the greatest arS- ety to learn what action the United States will take.

 Pointing out the various reasons the United States is little able to hold Ger many to a strict accountability" the Times says: We do not press the point, hut we venture to suggest that there may come a stage in the relations be-. tween the states when the maintenance of diplomatic intercourse may imply conformation of unwarrantable crimes
