Not Internal Captain Says.
1t is learned that the captains re-
port showed that the explosion
could not have been internal because
there was nothing in the ship at
that place to explode. The depart
ment also has satisfactory evidence
that the ship could not have struck
m American mine, so. apparently,
the only possible way the destruc-
ton OF the ship, aside from that of
submarine attack, is that she en-
countered a mine dropped by u
boats before they LETT the American
coast.
The San Diego was struck on the
port side abaft the beam. This is
held to discourage the mine theory
since an explosion from this source
would have occurred near the bow.
Expect Some Loss OF Life.
Officials here are certain that
some small loss of life will be found
when the muster rolls OF the ship
have been checked against the list
of survivors. The San Duego muster
rolls were lost, but a duplicate set is
being sent to Washington.
