zoo DIE ON THE
 PRINCESS IRENE

LONDON, May 2S. The death list resulting from the apiosion that caus- ed the loss of the Princess Irene in Sheerness Harbor on the Thames is between 800 and 100. and it is feared that is will reach the last named Ag- ure.
 The Princess Irene was lying be- side a mine laying boat in the har. Dor at the time the explosion took place. The explosion was terrific. The whole town of .Sheerness was shaken. It was followed by a burst of flames, and column of dense smoke. There is nothing left of the vessel, or of the vessels that were lying near. Fragments of the Princess Irene have been picked up 15 miles away.
 The explosion has not been explain ed thus far. though the government suspects that 1t was due to the work of German spies.
 The Princess Irene was built on the Clyde. Scotland, for the Canadian Pa cinc railroad. and was completed shortly after the war began, and commandered by the government.
