BRITISH SHIP SUNK;
rs FROM u. S. ON HER
All Rescued and Doubt Exists
Whether She Was TOrpc-
dOcd or Struck Mine.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Colncident
with renewed reports of submarine ac-
tivity received to-day at the State De-
partment came the news that the Brit
ish steamer kelvinia with tw~enty-eight
Americans aboard had been sunk on the
Irish coast on September 2.
The Americans were all rescued and
have been landed at Glasgow. II Is not
indicated whether a mine or a submarine
sank the vessel. This fact Is regarded
here as showing that II the ship was
torpedoed there was no semblance OF
warning.
Investigation has been begun by the
State Department. American, consular
officers have been directed to get all
available data and report without delay.
Judging from past experience OF this
nature IL IL feared that n submarine
msy hav been responsible. especially
as there are understood to he no mines
In the steamer lanes which the keavinia
followed. II IT, hardly regarded AS prob
ablH that u British ship would run into
a British mine field " II did exist.
The kclvinia left Newport News. Va.
or August Is. bound for Glasgow. De-
tails are not yet available as to the
character of her cargo.
