NO WORD OF CYCLoPs.
Mystery of Missing Naval Collier as
Deep as Ever.

Washington, D. c., April LINE
Navy Department continued today
without any word from the missing
collier Cyclops. Officials were not IN
clined to question the loyalty OF Lieu
tenant Commander G. w. Worley, de-
spite the published press report quot
ing a woman, who says she is his SIS
ter, as having declared in San Fran
cisco that he was born in Germany
and changed his name from W1cht-
mann to Worley when he entered the
naval service.
Officials and naval experts advance
no new theories regarding the disap-
pearance of the 19,30O-ton vessel, with
the valuable cargo of 10000 tons OF
manganese ore.
That the Cyclops was entirely sea-
worthy had been demonstrated time
and again. It is possible the vessel
may have been struck by sudden
tropical storm of great violence. Quite
frequently such storms occur within
a limited radius and steamers only q;
few miles away may encounter no bad
weather.
The great steel cranes and upper
works of the modern naval golfers
give them the appearance of topheavl-
ness, but they are of deep draught
and when heavily loaded, as was the
Cyclops, these upper works present no
real element of danger. even IN a
heavy sea.
Many naval officers now on duty
here were personally acquainted with
Worley, and all of them speak we'll OF
him.
Inasmuch as the Cyclops has disap-
peared utterly, there is no means
whereby the Norfolk report that por'
trait of the German kaiser decorated
the walls of stateroom for some time
has been proved or disapprovcd. ON
Gals whose attention was called to this
statement did not regard it as impor
tant.
