MARSH REPORTS ON MISHAP TO NEBRASKAN Received From Ambassador Page and Consul General Skin- ner at London—Also a Statement From the Captain— Impossible Yet to Tell Whether the Explosion Was Caused by Mine or a Torpedo. ‘Washington, May 27.—The United States government had received to- aight. messages from Ambassador Page and Consul-general Skinner at London and a statement from Cap- :ain Greene of the American steamer Nebraskan, but from all information thus far avallable it has been impos- sible to determine whether the explo- sion on the Nebraskan was caused by v mine or torpedo. Many officials are nclined to the theory that the ship struck a floating mine, though they we withholding judgment pending a 'ull report. Naval officers say the up- ward explosion in the vessel as de- icribed by Captain Greene is of the tharacter which is more likely to have >een caused by a mine than a torpedo. Ambassador Page reported that he 3ad begun an inquiry, sending naval sonstructors attached to the American imbassy to make a complete examina- don upon the Nebraskan's arrival at Liverpool, where she was due late onight, Any diplomatic action as a result »f the incident will be deferred until ‘here is definite proof of the cause of ‘he explosion. Should it develop that he vessel was torpedoed, the fact that ier flag had been lowered a few min- ites ‘before at sundown would have 10 bearing upon the action of the \merican government, which always 1as insisted upon the exercise of the dight of visit and search before an \ttack upon any merchantman. This case is somewhat similar to hat of the American tank steamer sulflight. Although the German ad- niralty is said to have denied that + German submarine attacked the Fulfiight, the American government 1as concluded from the investigation £ naval officers and such testimony as vas furnished by the first officer of he ship, that it was torpedoed by a ierman submarine. If it is proved that the Nebraskan was partially wrecked by a min case will be similar to the mishaps to the American cotton ships Evelyn and Carib, which struci sponsibility for which has never been fixed. There is no international convention in force relative to the laying of mones. The United States ratified The Hague convention on this subject, but it is inoperative because most of the signmtories did not ratify it. The principles laid down in that conven- tion, however, were that the laying of anchored contact mines should be forbidden and that all mines should be of such a character as to be innocu- ous immediately on becoming detached from their anchorages. Count Bernstorff, the German am- bassador, today formally presented a memorandum to the state department, stating that the mines laid by Ger- many would become innocuous when loosed. Previously the British gov- ernment had given the United States similar assurances. The laying of mines for the sole purpose of inter- cepting commerce was forbidden by The Hague convention, but there has been no general rule by which the pro- hibition could be interpreted, as it has been claimed that all mines used in the present war have been laid for offensive or defensive purposes. New Haven Schooner Sunk a Squall Saundertown, R. I, May 27.—The little two-masted schooner Thomas C. Rackett, from New Haven for Prov- idence with oysters, was capsized in a squall during the night and sank about three-quarters of a mile east, northeast of Saunderstown wharf. R. . Ramus, the skipper and the two sailors, all negroes, escaped in a dory and landed at Fort Greble. Every failure is a step toward suc- cess.

BLACK In Clash with Acting Mayor Miner Over Quarantine Trouble. The New London Medical showed its approval of the ac Health Officer J, T. Black of that city in the conduct of the office at a special meeting Wednesday night. The mem- bers of the society not only wen record as commending his ef methods in the recent smallpox tion, but voted to decline all appoint- ments'as health officer until Dr. Black is vindicated in his trouble with Act- ing Mayor A. T. Miner which r in his resignation a few da go. committee was also appointed to urge an increase in the lary of the health officer to $3,000, commensurate with the amount of work entailed by the duties of the office. The session took the form of an in- dignation meeting over the resignation of Dr. Black as health officer follow- ing, a clash with Acting Mayor Miner in the matter of a quarantine, Acting Mayor Miner was quoted as saying that he had received no official notification of the action and could only form an opinion from the pub- lisned statement which he had read. Continuing he said: “I have'no de- sire or intention to enter into any controversy in this matter of a health officer. It occurs to me, however, in reference to the salary of $3,000 or more, recommended for the position by the Medical society at its meeting, that the increase is not great over what Dr, Black received last year. In addition to his salary of $1,000, he was paid more than $1,800 for the care of smallpox patients, of whom he as- sumed personal charge. “This Alphonse and Gaston attitude on the part of some physicians is rath- er amusing, however, to say the least. There is or will be a vacancy in the position of health officer June 1. It will become my duty to recommend to the court of common council an appointee for the place, such recom- mendation requiring the confirmation of the aldermen. If such confirmation is forthcoming, the appointee will very likely be a member of the Medical so- ciety, which fact, as I say, is slightly humorous. “Other than this, I have nothing further to say in the matter. Should necessity demand it, however, there will be some plain speaking on my part In the future, in which a spade will not be dignified by the title of a garden implement. The present health officer has resigned. It is up to the city to get a new one. In case the al- dermen cannot agree on any physician then, as I have said before, the county health officer will do the appointing.” FORTY MINERS TRAPPED BY A GAS EXPLOSION Near Nanaimo, B.
