WILL BASE ACTION
UNOFFICIAL REPORT
State Department Has Not
Determined Upon Course in
Lanao Case.
VESSEL CARRIED U. S. FLAG

In the absence today of Secretary
Lansing and other high officials of the
state Department the course of the
United States in dealing with the case
OF the steamer Lanao, sunk by a sub
marine October % off the Portuguese
coast, was undetermined The depart
ment was without official advices from
| consular or diplomatic officers on de-
tails of the sinking On the strength
of press dispatches officials here were
inclined to believe that there is but
little ground for an American protest,
since the ship carried contraband, was
warned and her crew transferred with
out accident.
Discuss Question of Registry.
The question of her registry appar-
emily is the only troublesome factor.
Despite the declaration of her Ameri-
can captain that she was under Ameri-
can registry and flew the America n
flag when sunk. the official view at the
dies changes of registry. was that the
Lanao had been sold by the Findlay
Miller Steamship Company of Manila
to Hans Hannevrg of Christiania, Nor
" ay, anu lHdt, WHlie actual transfer to
her new owners had not been made. the
sale had gone far enough legally to
take her from under the protection of
the American flag.
A problem of international law new
to the present war, however, may be
raised on this point, and officials real
ize that with the return of Mr.. Lansing
careful considera tion must be given to
details of the sale and of all the cir
cumstances surrounding the sinking.
Department of Commerce officials re-
lied on the report of the consul gem
eral at London, dated July 26, and
stating the Lanao had been sold to
Hans Hannevrg as establishing change
in her ownership. They pointed out,
was under Philippine registry and that
the Philippine government had juris-
diction over her transfer, which, when
finally consummated, would be entered
upon department records.
No Report on File.
Reports of such transfers are slow
in reaching the department, and none
on the Lanao has come.
Officials believed the vessel was sold
with a stipulation that she should be
delivered to her owner at some port in
Europe and was en- route for that pur-
pose. Actual transfer of registry in
the case of American vessels is con-
summated by the master of the vessel
giving up to the American consul at
the foreign port where the transfer
occurs of the American documents of
registry.
Inquiries probably will be made of
the Philippine government as to
whether the Lanao's registry had been
changed there.
