P TWO STEAMSHIP NEBRASKAN STRUCK BY TORPEDO Hold Fills With Water But No Lives Were Lost WAS HIT AT POINT NEAR IRELAND COAST Thought in Washington She May Have Struck a Floating Mine. | Wh on the news reached this country last Friday that the American Steamship Nebraskan had been struck by a torpedo while on her way to Delaware Breakwater, while she was passing not far from the coast of Ireland, many took it to mean defiance from Germany. Later a different view was taken of the matter as the steamer may have struck a floating mine plant ed by the Germans in the war zone. The following despatches about this matter will explain details: The Amprirnn stpnmor "NTr?hi*?cLr?i? > Captain Greene, from Liverpool, May 24, for Deleware Breakwater, was torpedoed Wednesday by a submarine at a point forty miles west-southwest of Fastnet, off the south coast of Ireland. The sea was calm at the time. The crew at once took to the boats and stood by the steamer. It was soon ascertained that the Nebraskan was not seriously damaged. She had been struck forward and her foreholds were full of water. " ? The crew returned on board and got the vessel undor way. No lives were lost among the crew. The Nebraskan did not carry any passengers. The News in Washington. Coming close on the Lusitania disaster, the news that the American steamer Nebraskan had been endangered aroused more than ordinary attention in Washington, but all officials were disposed to hear details before making comment.

Ireland, said that the Nebraskan passed that point at 11 o'clock, apparently bound for Queenstown. The Nebraskan was down at the bows. She was proceeding under her own steam and flying the signal: "1 am not under control." m\ ie are i ^ j1( L d.
