FROM LATEST ATTACK
German-AmeriCan Situation Is
Rendered More Acute by
Assault on Ship Flying u. S.
Flag Without Contraband.

LONDON, May 26.-PreS't
Harold SanderSon, of the Inter
national Mercantile Marine. late
this afternoon officially confirmed
the torpedoing of the American
steamer Nebraskan by a German
submarine. The ship was under
charter to the concern of which
Mr.. SanderSon is the head, though
owned by the Amerioan-Hawaiian
Steamship Co.
"The NebraSkan was fying the
American flag when she was tor
pedoed," said Mr.. SanderSon.
"She was chartered by us to bring
over a cargo, but was returning in
ballast.
"The ship had not a single
thing aboard which could posi-
bly, come under the German ban.
The German action is astounding
in view Of the fact that the Ne
braSkan was flying the American
flag and was bound for an Amer
ican port.
The NebraSkan incident has
caused a profound sensation here.
The general impression is that it
will affect the German-AmeriCan
situation acutely.

LlOyds' maritime agency announced
this afternoon that the American
steamer Ne5raskan bound for Liver
pool to the United States was tor
pedoed off the Irish coast az 9.05
o'clock last night
The Lloyds announcement added.
The Crookhavcn wireless station
has received the following.
The Nebraskan is calling for
help. The crew are in the boats and
are standing by. The weather is fine
and calm
II was stated AT the American en-
bassy later that the British admiralty
had sent it notification that an
armed trawler had reported the
Nebrsskan making for Liverpool with
her hold flooded.
Report Conflicting.
The first rumor reaching here as 10
the Nebraskan was 10 the effect that
she had been torpedoed and sunk hv
a German submarine Oft the Irish
coast. This was quickly followed hy
another report that her steering gear
had broken down and still "a third
said that the vessel had struck a mine
The latest reports agree that the
steamer is still afioat and will be able
TO reacn Liverpool.
The reports that the Nebrsskan had
been torpedoed caused excitement in
maritime circles IN view Of the fact
that the American protest against
Germans submarine warfare is stiu
unanswered.
The rumor that the Nebraskan had
been torpedoed originated with The
Glasgow Herald which stated that the
American ship had been attacked hy
a German submarine OF Fastnet
The Herald did not state the source
Of its information.
The Glasgow Herald also stated
that the crew OF the NebraSIan had
