z Of SAN DIEGO
SAILORS MISSING
A GERMAN MINE OR A SUBMARINE
BELIEVED RESPONSIBLE
FOR DISASTER.
1888 SURVIVORS ARE SAFE

Washington, July 1.-the United
States armored cruiser San Diego was
sunk 10 miles off Fire Island, at the
entrance to the New York harbor.
The cause of the sinking is not yet
known to the navy department.
Announcement was made that 1883
men from the ship had been landed.
Unofficial reports said there were
1856 men aboard, and If thy are cor
rect the loss of life would not exceed
seventy-two.
Pending full investigation the de-
partment is understood to have sent
out warning to shipping to watch
out for possible submarines operating
along the American coast
Vessels of the coast patrol, as an
extra precaution, have also been
warned to be on their guard.
Admiral Benson, chief OF naval op'
erations, is understood to be OF the
opinion that the San Diego struck Q
mine, either an American mine or one
launched by German submarines Turk
ing off the coast a month ago.
