WASHINGTON, March 25.-Destruc-
ton of the British steamer Englishman
with the possible loss of American lives
and the explosion on the channel liner
Sussex, carrying American passengers
coming close to the alleged attack on the
Patria and the sinking of the Tubantia,
have served to unsettle the submarine sit
uaton again and raised possibilities of
more complications with the central pow
ers.
American Consul Armstrong; prelmi-
nary reports received today from Bristol,
that the Engishman was torpedoed and
that four Americans were missing from the
rescued, presented the most serious aspect
| of the situation.
The fact that the missing Americans
were workers on a horse ship and not pas
sengers on a liner does not lessen the in
! terest of the American government in the
case. The circumstances are accentuated
| by the fact that the ship was bound away
from Europe and carried no contraband.
