So far as known there was no loss of life, though at a late hour the crew of' the British steamer Kingston had not been accounted for. A submarine held up the American steamer Kausan, bound from New York for Genoa with steel for the Ital ian government, but later, on estab lishlng her Identity, allowed her to {?roceed. The Kausan came Into Bos on harbor late tonight for her usual call bore. Th?f hostile submarine is believed to be the TJ-53, which paid a call to New port yesterday and disappeared at sun set. Some naval men, however, de clared that at least two submarines are operating close to the American Aliore, though outside the three mile limit.
