REPORT ON NEBRAsKAN
AWAITED WITH INTEREST
Officials Without Information as t,
Whether Ship Was Torpedoed
or Struck Mine.
S. COURSE UNDETERMINED
If Vessel Was Attacked Without
Warming, Aggravating Circ,un-
stance VIII Have Been Added to
Already Tense Situation.

WASHINGTON, May o6-The course
Of the United States government in the
case of the American steamship Nebras-
kan, damaged off the Irish coast. was
undetermined tonight. because officials
were without definite information as
to whether the ship was torpedoed or
had struck a mine.
Messages from Amba ssador Page and
Consul l-General Skinner. at London. to-
day transmitted the report of the Brit
torpedoed. but the captains report
to his owners indicated a doubt as to
whether the Nebraskan was hit by a
torpedo or mine.
In view of the position the United
States has taken on the subject of sub
marine activity in the war zone. and
the delicacy OF the situation with Ger
many arising out of the Lusitania dis
aster. the story of the Nebrasknn's ex-
perence is awaited with unusual in
terest. Should it develop clearly that
she was torpedoed without warning. an
agGravatng circumstance will have
been added to an already tense situa-
ton. Notwithstanding the fact that no
lives were lost.
UNITED STATES REFUSES
TO JUSTIFY ACTION
Germany, in circular note to neu-
tral governments on May IL, announced
that regret would be expressed and
payment OF damages made without
prize court proceedings for all neutral
vessels attacked by mistake in the
war zone. The United States in its
note of May l3 pointed out that Eek
pressions OF regret and offers of rcpa
ration in case OF the destruction of
neutral ships sunk by mistake, while
they may satisfy international obliga
tions. II no loss Of life results, cannot
justify or excuse a practice, the nat
ural and necessary effect of which is to
subject neutral nations and neutral
persons to new and immeasurable
risks

The Italians who have crossed the
Austrian frontier TO the east along a
