Doubt in Palembang Case.

HARWICH. March 21.-The officers
and crew of the Dutch steamship Pal
embang, which was sunk near Galloper
Lights in the Thames estuary Saturday
told their story to the local authorities
later Although there were seven men
ON tho lookout at the time of the first
explosion none of them saw trace OF
submarine.
IIoyd's report states that the Palem
bang unquestionably was torpedoed
What is considered of most Importance
on this point is the statement of the
captain that after the first explosion
the engines We're reversed and then
stopped and the vessel was at stand
still at the moment when the second
explosion occurred 1t also has been
esta blished that the third explosion was
not due to the bursting of the ship 5
boilers All the injuries caused to the
crew were from the third explosion.

roads, controlled by the United States,
extending from the southern boundary

in speech last night before the Oak
