DUTCH STEAMER SUNK
LINER TUBANTIA VICTIM OF MINE
OR ToRPEDoED.
Vessel Carried 81 Passengers and
Crew of 300, All Reported
Saved.

London. March 1S.-The 13,0O0-ton
Royal Dutch Lloyd liner Turbantia,
outward bound from Amsterdam for
the River Platte, with 81 passengers,
three of whom were Americans, and O.
crew of so was sunk Thursday on
Noordhinder lightship, on the Dutch
coast. A Central News dispatch from
Amsterdam quotes the captain III
H. Wytsma, as saying his ship was tor
pedOed. Semiofficial reports from Ber-
lin claim that she struck a mine. Ad-
vices indicate that all on board were
saved
The Turbantia was struck at about
three o'clock in the morning, a great
hole being torn in her stern. She re-
mained afioat, however. until about
$3.50 She sank about two miles east
of Noordhinder light.
The explosion put the steering gear
of the vessel out of commission, but
no one on board was injured Water
running through the gap in the yes
sells stern penetrated the corridors
to the fact that the modern construc-
ton of the ship-she was in service
only year-enabled her to float for
several hours after receiving her death
blow, that the loss of life was not
heavy.
The Turbantia, which carried a gen
eral cargo and mails. was making for
Falmouth, where she was to take
aboard passengers for South America,
when the explosion occurred. Her
proximity to the coast enabled rescue
ships to reach her quickly. Her calls
for assistance were answered by
life-saving vessel from the Hook Of
Holland, the Dutch steamship Kraka-
tau and two other ships, one Dutch
and one Swedish.

ment out of the 7-19 mill tax for the

doubt. The attorney general holds
that the general tendency of the law
is to exempt Milwaukee, which has a
system of its own.
