NO EVIDENCE To SHOW THAT

The supposition that the Cyclops
was given over voluntarily by any Of
the officers in command was igonc into
very carefully by the Navy Department,
especially with reference t. Lieuten-
ant-Com Worley. U. S. NJ r. +.
The investigation showed there was no
evidence TO support such an assump-
tion.
1t was held. however, by one of the
officials who followed the investiEa-
tion that the collier was taken by a
ruse Of forged orders to the comman-
der. and that in consequence of these.
he sailed for a British. instead of
United States port. and thus became
easy prey.
The theory in this explanation IS
that there was connivance between
some one on board mad the comman-
der OF the submarine in Caribbean
waters. Indirectly the belief that the
Germans did not destroy. but held the
Cyclops, was fortified by the fact that
the Germans realized the value of
cargo OF manganese. The latter alone
would have been worth about 100000.

Efforts have been made by the Navy
Department to get from Germany any
information to prove the Cyclops was
the victim OF a submarine. But the

that our ship Cyclops has been can

Navy officials to-day did not regard
the hnd as OF any great Importance.
The belief is held that the bottled mes
sage is simply hoax, and Is only one
OF innumerable instances in which the
mystery OF the missing vessel has been
cleared up" Letters giving informa-
ton about the Golfers disappearance
continue 10 arrive It the Navy De-
partment In great numbers. On one
day recently fifteen communications
touchihs on the Cyclops case were
received and filed.
Tho persistent fact II appears IN
navy men. Is that the most popular r
theory OF all the informants is that
the ship '~s captured by German
submarine. In the present instance Of
the hoating bottle the U-boat idea
bobs up again.
But this time the place OF capture
is given as on the Virginia coast. IT
Is pointed out by navy officers. how
ever. that at the time of disappearanc.
OF the Cyclops German submarines only
had been reported as being In Carib-
bean waters. The Cyclops was last
heard from at the Barbados on March
4.
That there were submarines in that
area was reported from time to time,
and these reports were repeated by
the governor-general of one OF the
British colonies in that vicinity, who
visited the United States shortly after
the disappearance of the collier
The belief is stronger than ever in
the navy to-day that the Cyclops ac-
tually was captured by a submarine.
1t was stated to-day by one Of the Of
rcers most concerned in the mystery
that the belief had become a convic-
tton that the crew OF the missing ship
now are interned in Germany.
