The only large vessel leaving Seattle was the steamship Senator, of the Pacific Coast Steamship company’s fleet, which sailed for San Francisco at 11 o’clock last night.

Washington, Oct. 31.—The Deutsch- land, Germany’s submarine merchant- is believed in quarters hero Which should know, to be now on her second voyage to the United States. Knowledge of the date the vessel is supposed to have started from Ger- many is disclaimed. News despatches from .Switzerland reporting that the Deutschland, as well as the Bremen had been lost and that the former started for the United States during September were dis- credited. It was emphatically de- clared that the Deutschland was in a German port all last month, Tt also was said today that in the future all German submarines coming to the United States, whether naval or merchantman, will make either New London or Newport their port of call. No more submarines will enter Hampton Roads because of the danger of nets being dropped to trap them off the Virginia Capes. American submarines are usually operating in the waters off New Ton- don and Newport at all times of the year. British nets dropped there Tight endanger American vessels and the lives of American sailors Ger- man officials do not believe that the British would take the chance of net- ting a nAmerican vessel. Consequent- ly German submarines will take ad- vantage of the better opportunity for clear paths off the Connecticut and Rhode Tsland coasts.

Ful- ler reports with aflidavits of Amer- ican survivors have been ordered by cable. This morning’s despatches saying some of the survivors had seen the | wake of a torpedo and that the ship was struck twice added gravity to the situation. Officials that the noted, however, say the ship was torpedoed and that Consul Frost's report yesterday said she was destroyed by gunfire. Entirely aside from the first aspects of the case, officials made it clear that no conclusions could be drawn until all apparently conflicting cir- cumstances could be cleared up and evidence had been gathered in legal form. Admittedly the case was viewed as more serious than any since the de- struction of the Sussex, as it is the first but the state department gave no evi- dence of tension as It set about gath- ering the facts, Since the original reports given out vesterday the state department has not made any further The case is being handled by Secretary Lansing and any further facts will be given out through him when made public.
