London, May 25.-Less than q

been torpedoed off the southeast

Edwin and Clyde Bosley of North

this the losses, which are given Of

would have been confined to those
killed by the explosion of the tor
pedo.
Sharp List After Explosion
The Bosley brothers were on
guard when the ship was struck.
There was a sharp list, and they
evidently believed she was turning
over. Search was made for them, but
they were not seen after they jumped

on board the Moldavia, gave Daily

cos sudden and unexpected sus-
pension of diplomatic relations
with Cuba is looked upon here as
an indirect move against the
United States which possibly
may forcshadow breaking OF
diplomatic relations. with this
country. All those who take this
view base their opinion on the
assumption that German propa-
ganda again is active.
Mexico City, Friday, May "a
Mexico has severed diplomatic rela-
tions with Cuba. This was learned
officially late to-day after report
that the Mexican charge daffaires
at Havana and the Cuban minister
here had been recalled from their
respective posts had been confirmed
at the foreign office.
The Cuban minister to Mexico, Or.
Ezequiel Barcia Ensenat, has not yet
arrived in Mexico City, having been
appointed only recently. During the
interval DR.. Luis Santamaris CalNo
has been acting as charge. 1t was re-
ported recently that he would leave
for Cuba on a vacation and would
return with the new minister. the
Mexican charge at Havana is Al
berto G. Franco.
AFFLICTED Situation"
The recall of the Mexican repre-
sentative to Cuba and the suspend
ing for an indefinite time of the
sending of a new representative Is
explained officially as due to the fact
that because of the war in which
Cuba is involved that government
has been obliged to dictate measures
that affect the interests of the Mex
ican government in many instances.
For this reason, it is declared, the
making of representations that the
Mexican representative would be
forced to make to the Cuban gov
ernment would be useless and would
restrict the liberty of action of a
| friendly nation which is now in an
balloon observation
Mexico's Statement
eneral Candido Aguilar, Minister
tForeign Affairs, tonight gave
p6t a statement for the announced
purpose of avoiding a misinterpre-
ation of MeXico's action. The state
nent follows:
The president of the republic anc
&0fcabinet at special meeting ha:
|cided that it was an imperative
lcessity to recall the Mexican
plomatic representative to Cuba
nd to suspend for an indefinite
eriod the sending of a new repre-
ntative because it was considered
indispensable measure for the
high ideals and interests of the TIVE
N ftions in the actual moments oi
am acute world crisis. The state OF
war in which Cuba is involved ha:
Obliged the government of Cuba tC
dictlate measures which in many
caseS affect the interests of the Mex.

and for this reason the Mexican lie,
gationN would be called upon to make

ban government which would only
