SHEERNESS, England, May 2s.-
Persistent rumors that a German spy
touched off the gigantic explosion that
sent the steamer Princess Irene hurt
ling skyward with loss OF more than
800 lives, caused the British admir-
atty today to order an immediate in
yestigation Admiralty officers who
were on the ground early today, ridi-
cuied these rumors They pointed out
that the same reports went out to the
world when the battleship Bulwark
was blown to pieces at the Sheerness
docks six months ago with loss of
800 lives. The admiralty investigation
resulted In the finding that the Bull
wark was shattered by an internal ex-

The admiralty was besieged this
afternoon with requests for informa-
ton concerning the fate of the Argyll
shire. Wireless stations at several
points along the Irish seacoast caught
the big liners cry for assistance and
sent vessels rushing to her aid. Her
message simply reported that she
had been attacked by submarines, but

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Captain
Green's preliminary report to the
American naval attaches at London.
giving his story OF the explosion which
damaged the ,freighter, Nebraskar,
has reached the state department. 1t
emphasizes the captains earlier state
ment that he had no definite knowl-
edge of the explosions cause. He
leans to the belief that It was a tor
pedo. but says neither he nor his
crew saw any evidences of sub
marines at any time.
While this report adds to, rather
than explains, the mystery of the at
tack, officials here will take no action
until q complete report is 3 received
from Naval Constructor Mcbride, who
was today making a complete survey
of the damages to the Nebraskan.
It Is admitted that he may be abba
to fix responsibility although experts
hero say that unless he finds in the
flooded hold fragments OF the torpedo,
if one was used, his task will be diff.
fcult.
Captain Green's statement that
there was first shock and then an
explosion, both accompanied by q
lifting movement of the forward part
of the vessel, indicated a mine rath-
er than torpedo, they said, explain
ing that a torpedo skaters, with most
of it's force downward, while a mine
lifts.
The Nebraskan's derricks, accord
ing to Captain Green, were thrown
thirty feet into the air. The matches
were also blown upward.
1t was not expected that Naval Con-
structor McBride's report would be
available before the first Of next week.
The Nebraskan has been ordered dry
docked for repairs and until the water
is out Of her hold. a complete exam
inetion will be impossible.
