FRENCH STEAMER BLOWN

London, May ?, 11.03 D. m.-The French steamer Europe, from Barry for St. Nazaire with cargo of coal, was torpedoed by a German submarine Saturday morning near Bishops Rock and sunk, says a despatch to Lloyds from Penzance. The crew was rescued by steam drifter
 The submarine signalled the crew of they had done this the submarine sink. Meanwhile the skipper of a steam drifter Rosevine attracted by the noise of the gun of the submarine, made an investigation, whereupon the submarine started to chase the Rose vine.
 The Rosevine sent up distress rock cts and was proceeding toward Scilly Islands when patrol boat which had prevouSly had not been seen owing to the foggy weather, appeared. To- gether the patrol boat and the drifter went back towards the Europe, at which the submarine was still firing at with her gun half a mile from the Europe the Rosevine picked up a boat laden with members of the crew of the steamer, The work of rescue was interrupted by three shells from the submarine which fell within thirty yards of the drifter.
 Then, apparently alarmed at the ap- pearance of the patrol boat, the sub- mrine torpedoed the Europe which disappeared in a cloud of steam and coal dust.
 The submarine carried no number,

DUNkIRk FORWARDED AT
 RANGE OF 2a.5 MILES.
It Is Believed the Big Gun Has Been
 Damaged.

Paris, May 2, 230 p. m-The official report given oAt today by the French war department says it is believed that the great German gun which twice has bombarded Dunkirk from a rance of twenty three and a half miles has been out of action. It also announc- es the bombardment by the French of one of the German forts, at Metz, the Lorraine capital. The text of the statement follows:
 ''There is no modification to report in the situation along the entire front
 Information received from a de- serted is to the effect that for about two months engineers of the Krupp Gun works have been directing in the suburbs of Dixmude, a sector wrere there has been no fight for several months, the installation of a marine gun, capable of firing a shell over very long range. It is this gun which may have bombarded Dunkirk. The gun is believed to have rance of thirty eight kilometers (23.5] miles)
 "Only nine shells were fired on the second and last bombardment of the French seaport. There is rason to be- lieve that the gun has been damaged by a method of fire which the most powerful pieces do not resist a long time or that the continual presence of our aeroplanes has had the effect of stopping its fire.

Naval activities have come to the forefront again in the campaign.
 The American oil tank steamer Gulf light, bound for a French port, has been torpedoed off the Scilly Islands.
 \ German submarine has sunk the British torpedo boat destroyer Recruit in the North sea Two German tor pedo boats sank the trawler Columbia, 1T fishermen being drowned and were in turn pursued and sunk by British destroyers. Two German officers and 4 men were rescued by the destroy CTS
 The French steamer Europe was sent to the bottom near Bishops Rock; the British steamer F'ulgent was sunk by a submarine off Skellig Rocks. The British trawler Barbados has arrived at Yarmouth after an engage ment with a German torpedo boat, in which both craft were hit. The cap tain of the trawler turned his two small guns on the torpedo boat, when the latter attempted his capture.
 There has been little fighting in Bel gium and complete quiet along the British front The French have bonn barded the entrenched camp of Nets and announce that their fire has proved efficacious against one of the forts, the barracks and the railway nearby.
 The French occupation of the sum- init of Hartmans- -Weilerkopf is con hrmed in a despatch from 8 corre- spondent who has just returned to Paris from a visit to the French posi- tions there. The entire hill has been devastated as a result of the desperate fighting which has been going on there for weeks.
 German forces are to the south west of Mitau, capital of Courtand and their operations in the Baltic provinces seemingly have taken the Russians off their guard. This move ment, according to the German off, cia1 statement, is making satisfactory progress.
 The Russian war office admits the occupation by the Germans of the re- zion of Shawl, in the province of Ko- peared near Libau, an important port in Courland on the Baltic sea and that hostile torpedo boats have visited the Gulf of Riga.
 Both Russians and Austrians claim successes in the Carpathians, while in Poland the fighting that is now in pro- gress has shown no decisive advan- tage for either side
 The British war office announces that 26 men of the British fleet were killed and 53 wounded in the landing operations against the Dardanelles be- tween April 25 and April 30. An un- official despatch from Athens says that the 4,000 French troops who were landed on the Asiatic side returned to their transports after the purpose for which they were intended-supporting the occupation of certain points by the British-had been accomplished.
 A white paper has been issued by the British government embodying re- ports tending to show that the drink habit is having very serious effect on the output of war munitions and repairs to the warships and transport services.

Torpedoing of
 American Steamer
CREATED A STIR IN OFFICIAL
 CIRCLES IN WASHINGTON.
SERIOUSNESS ADMITTED
First Case of an American Vessel
 Struck by a Torpedo With Conse-
 quent Loss of Life-No Comment Made Pending Return of President.

Washington, May 2.-Press reports of the torpedoing of the steamer Gulf light and the losses of her captain and some members Of the crew cre- ated a stir tonight in official circles here where the seriousness of the oc- currences was admitted. In the ab- sence of President Wilson, officials nSade no comment as to the probable action of the United States govern ment beyond saying that a thorough inquiry as to the manner of the tor pedoing and the responsibility for it would be required before a decision could be reached as to the kind of representations to be made,
 First American Vessel Torpedoed.
 If first reports are borne out, the attack on the Gulhight constitutes the first case of an American vessel struck by torpedo with consequent loss of lives. Two American vessels have been sunk by mines. the responsibility for which never has been fixed and an American, Leon C. Thresher was drowned when the British ship FaIaba was torpedoed. The United States government has just completed its in vestigation of the Thresher case, but in view of the direct attack on an American vessel now reported, 1t is probable that both incidents will be dealt with in whatever diplomatic ac- tion is taken.
 Strict Accountability" Note Recalled.
 It was generally recalled tonight that in the note sent by the United States to Germany in answer to Ger man proclamation of a war zone around the British Isles and Ireland, the Washington government stated that it would hold the German govern ment ito a strict accountability for the loss Of any American lives or Ves- sels, the phraseology being so drawn as to cover attacks on belligerent Ves- sels on which Americans were trav- cling. Officials said at the time the purpose of the document was to insist on the right of Americans to voyage on the high seas even. on belligerent merchantmen and on the observance of the previous international rules, which provides for the transfer to places of safety of non-combatants aboard nnarmed merchantmen.
 Similar Experiences of Other Neutral
 Craft.
 In diplomatic quarters the attack on the Gullight recalled similar experi- ences of other neutral craft with Ger man submarines. A Norwegian and Dutch steamer were torpedoed re- gently, but so far as could be recalled by officials here no lives were lost. In besides promising to pay damages for the vessels destroyed, expressed its re- gret at the occurrence
 The language of the American note which said Germany would be held to "a strict accountability" has never been interpreted by high officials here. The possibility of any action other than a demand for damages in the present case is considered remote however because of the belief of the officials that the attack on the Gul1ight prob ably will be found to have been acci- dental and not deliberate,

BRITISH COAL MINERS
 WANT WAR BONUS.
More Than 100000 Join in Demand
 For 20 Per Cent. Increase.

New York, May 2.-D. A. Thomas of London, head of the Cambrian combination and known as "the Brit ish Coal King" because of his vast mining enterprises in Wales, just be- fore sailing for Eupore on the Lusi- tania yesterday, said he had just re- ceived word of the deadlock in the ne- gotations between the British coal miners and owners.
 More than 100000 miners, Mir. Thomas said. had joined in the de- mands for more pay. They want a war bonus of approximately 20 per cent. Their output barely equals the demand for coal in Great Britain and a strike, MT. Thomas thought, was remote. Previous dispatches from London have asserted that the govern ment would not permit the miners to strike.
