AMERICANS LOST
ON THE MARINA
But Secretary Lansing Is
Not Yet Ready to Talk
About It.
(Ry Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Secretary
Lansing said today that his report on
the destruction Of the British ship
Marina with probably loss Of American
lives still were too incomplete to per.
NIT of any conclusion which would
allow him to discuss the case. Fuller
| reports with affidavits of American
survivors have been ordered by Ca
BILE. This mornings news dispatches
saying some Of the survivors had seen
the wake Of q torpedo and that the
ship was struck twice, added gravity
to the situation. Officials noted, how
ever, that the British admiralty was
not prepared to say the ship was tor.
pedoed and that Consul Frost's report
yesterday said 1t was destroyed by
gun fire.
The case is being handled directly
by Srecretary Lansing himself and any
further facts will be given out through
