Probing Cause
of Fire IN Cargo
of Export Sugar
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Philadelphia, Feb. 16.-Investiga-
ton is being made today by city au-
thorities and officials of the Earn
Line Steamship company and the con-
sulate to determine whether the fire
which damaged the sugar cargo of the
British steamship Dalton at wharf
here last night was of incendiary
origin. The loss is placed at $780,
900. The fact that the fire started in
two sections of the hold is regarded
as suspicious.
Officials Of the steamship company
point out that the fire was the sixth
to occur on British steamers loaded
with sugar within the last month
The Dalton was to convey the sugar
to West Hartlepool, Eng, for the
British government.

New Orleans, Feb. 16.-Members OF
the crew of the British steamer Baron
Napier, q muleship, which arrived
here today from Alexandria, Egypt,
brought stories of a thrilling battle
in the Mediterranean on January II
between the Baron Napier and q Ger
man submarine, in which the steamer
escaped.
According to stories told by the
crew, the Napier with 100 men
aboard, was carrying a cargo of
mules from New Orleans to Alexan-
dria- When about $50 miles east of
Malta, they said, German subma-
rfne approached and began Smelling

diately returned the submarines Are
The submarine fired about 80 shots
the sailors asserted, and two men on
the steamer were wounded by shrap-
mel.
The exchange of shots continued for
more than an hour and the steamer
with it's small gun succeeded in keep
ing the submersible a sufficient dis
tance away to prevent the effective
discharging of its torpedoes. The
Baron Napier by increasing her speed
finally escaped.
Captain Cameron of the steamer de-
clined to make any comment whatever
on the sailors story.
