STEAMER AND SUB i
 BOTH DESTROYED

New York, June 19.-In a battle between a crippled stranded British steamer and submarine off the Ital- ian coast both craft were destroyed, according to members of the crew of the American steamer Hilonian who arrived here yesterday.
 The Hilonian itself has already been reported sunk off the Italian coast on May 16. On the same day an unidentified British freighter car- rying coal also was torpedoed, but the captain managed to run his ship into shallow water. Two days later, the Americans asserted, the submarine returned to the attack and launched a torpedo which hit the steamer amidships and almost blew her apart. As the submarine came to the surface to observe the effect of thes hot two deck guns on the stern of the freigh- ter were turned on her. A six-inch explosive shell hit the submarine and she was seen to turn ovr twice and split squarely in two before going down. <
