MISSES Mine BY
JUST FEW YARDS
American Steamer Has Narrow
Escape on Voyage From
Cuban Port.
international News Service.)

An Atlantic Port, June 19.-An
American steamer carrying eighty
passengers arrived here today after a
thrilling voyage from Cuban port in
the course of which she narrowly
missed striking a mine and barely es-
capped an attack by German subma
rine. The mine is belieyed to have
been laid by German U-boat. The
American steamer passed within just
a few yards of it. The location of the
mine was reported to naval authori-
ties and it is presumed that it has
been removed by now.
The steamer had it's experience with
the submarine when off the coast in
the neighborhood of Charleston, S. c.
There had been rumors of the pres
ence of submarines and the passengers
were all keyed up to a high pitch of
excitement. The first warning came
when British steamer was seen
speeding southwark. Almost instantly
there came a wireless message from
the British vessel warning that Ger
man submarine was chasing her.
Il will try to make Charleston" re-
piled the captain of the American ves-
sci.
Turn back. You won't have time"
came the reply.
AT that moment a patrol boat came
darting out from the shore.
Turn around and go back to -"
the chief officer.
"There's a U-boat about seven miles
ahead of you. Go back at once"
Then the little craft darted off.
The American steamer went back to
the port she was directed to go to.
Three other vessels were racing into
the port almost at the same time.
Twenty minutes after the American
steamer had received its first warning
the submarine was reported to have
torpedoed and sunk a British bark.
The steamer almost struck the mine
it's U-boat experience. A
lookout spied the mine when the ves-
sci was but a scant fifty yards away.
The steamer was swung to one side
SO violently that many of the passen
gers were thrown from their feet.

Washington, June 19.-Apparently
an overt act that may result in dec
laration of war on Turkey was re-
ported to the state department today
by American Minister George L. Cald-
well at Teheran, Persia.
According to the dispatch the Turks
have taken the city of Tabriz, in Per-
sia. where they took possession of the
American and British consulates and
sacked the American hospital, which
at the time was flying the Spanish flag.
The American minister's dispatch
was made public by the state depart
ment without comment. 1t was known.
however that further details would be
sought and that the occurrence would
be investigated from every angle. The
belief was freely expressed in some
quarters that the sacking of the Amer
ican hospital and the occupation of the
American consulate constitute an act
so obviously hostile to the United
States that, if the reports have not
been exaggerated, declaration of war
on Turkey may result.
