TORpEDOED OR BY
 MINE IS QUESTION
washington Officials Still in Doubt as ID Manner in Which Nebras- kan was Damaged.-Make
 Inquiry into Cause.

Washington, May 27.-The United ctotes had received tonight mes e.ro from Ambassador Page and Con- .,l General Skinner at London and statement from Captain Green of .ho American steamer Nebraskan, but s.om all information thus far avail .hlo if has been impossible to deter ,,;ne whether the explosion on the Nobraskan was caused by a mine or torpedo. Many officials are inclined to the theory that the ship struck a floating mine. They are withholding judgement pending a full report. Ma val officers say the upward explosion described by the captain is the char acter more likely to have been caused by a mine than torpedo.
 Ambassador Page reported that he had begun an inquiry sending naval constructors attached to the Ameri- can embassy, to make complete ex- animation on the ships arrival at Liv- erpool. where she is due late tonight. Any diplomatic action concerning the incident will be deferred until deh- nte proof is received.
 Count Von Bernstroff, the German ambassador, today formally present ed a memorandum to the state de- partment stating that the mines laid by Germany would become innocuous when unloosed. Previously the Brit ish government had given the United States similar assurances.

BECK FER WILL DIE IF

New York, May 27.-No possible disclosures of police corruption, no plea Charles Becker can make will save him from the electric chair, if District Attorney Perkins can prevent it.
 In making this announcement today Mir. Perkins took official cognizance of current rumor that Becker fac ing execution the week of July 12 for causing the murder of Herman Rosen- thai, was willing to confess all he knows if his life were spared.
 Important as it may be that public officials should be punished for mis- conduct in office it is more important that the instigators of murder should be punished for their acts," said Mr. Perkins.

COTTON ON UPGRADE
 WITH CLOSE STEADY
After Early Decline Prices Register 5-tO-S Point Advance. Opened Barely Steady at De-
 cline of to 9 Points.

New York, May 27-An early de- cline was followed by rally in the cotton market again today, with the close steady at net advance of 5 to 8 points.
 The market opened barely steady, at decline of to 9 points, under practically the same influence as. those responsible for yesterdays early break. Cables were lower than due, there were foreign selling orders around the ring and local bears seemed to be encouraged by increasing con. tidenee that the government report next week would show a favorable condition. The bulk of offerings, how ever, appeared to come from houses with Liverpool conections, while at the decline to 9.59c for October con- tracts there was considerable realiz. ing by recent sellers.
 The official forecasts for unsettled conditions in the South, with showers or lower temperatures in many sec tions, probably inspired some of this buying, while there was also disposi- tion to even up scattering accounts for over the approaching holidays. At any rate the market steadied around the opening figures; offerings became less active after the close of Liver. pool, and prices worked about 7 to 8 points net higher during the afternoon. October contracts sold up to 975c. or about Is points from the early low level. The close was shade off from the best under realizing.
 Liverpool will be closed for the bal ance of the week, and it may be that expectations of smaller foreign offer ings between now and Sunday were partly responsible for the advance. Houses with Western connections were buyers, but general business con- tinued very quiet, although there was somewhat less nervousness over po- litical conditions, owing to reasuring reports with reference to the Nebras- kan affair.
