though General Funston today
refused either to affirm or deny

London, March 27.-EIeven per
sons were killed in the sinking of the
British liner Minnea polls in the Med
iterranean last Wednesday.
The London statement that eleven
persons were KILLED" indicates that
the Minneapolis may have been pur
sued and shelled by the attacking sub
marine, though it is also possible the
eleven were killed by the explosion of
the torpedo.
The first word of the sinking of the
Minneapolis was brought to Mar
seilles last night by the captain of the
British steamer Liecestershire. He
reported that he received a wireless
call for help last Wednesday. but ar
rived too late to be of any help, the
Minneapolis having already gone
down.
The Minneapolis was a 13,543 tor
liner, one of the largest vessels sunk
by submarine. She piled between
London and American ports before tho
war and figured in the work of rescue
when the Nolturno burned in mid
ocean. She was taken over by the
British government for use in trans
port and freight service at the out

was carrying troops or supplies to
