A message to lLioyds says that an armed trawler went to the assistance of the Nebraskan and stood by it all night. continuing actively.

The steamer Crome loaded with passengers, had a narrow escape from belng torpedoed near the North Hinder Mghtahip, while bound for Rotterdam yesterday. A torpedo fired without warning from a submarine misged the Cromer only fifteen yards.

WASHINGTON, May 2%—Coming closs on the Lusitania disaster, the news that unother American ship had been en- dangered aroused more than ordinary attention, but all officials were disposed to hear details before making comment Some officials could not understand why & ship bound for the United States in bal- | [ | | | 1ast and therefore carrying mo contra- | band should have been endangered by | & torpedo and they considered it among the possibilities that the braskan | struck a drifting mine. | Secretary Bryan sald the State depart ment's information was much too meager to permit the forming of an opinion. He said a full report with details of the at- tack was expected soon. | The damage to the Nebraskan recalled ut once in official quarters the German government's assurances presented by | Count Bernstortf to Secretar; Bryan on ay 11 that submarine commanders had {been specifically instructed not to harm ) neutral versels mot engaged in hostile |acts and that Germany would pay | any | zone. | “The imperial German government," said the communication, “has no intention | of causing to be attacked by submarines or afreraft such neutral ships of com- | merce in the sone of naval warfare, or definitely described in the notice of the | German admiralty staff on February 4, |1ast, as have been gullty of no hostile |act. On the contrary, most definite in- structions repeatedly have been issued to German war vessels to avoid attacks on such ships under all circumstances. Even when such ships have contraband of war on board they are dealt with by | submarines solely according to the rule |of international law applylng to prize | wartare,” | Status of Nebraskan. | The status of the Nebraskan under in- ternational law, brought out a variety of | discussion today when news was received [that the vessel was chartered to the White Star line. Whether sunk by a | mine or a torpedo, a claim for damages | might raise complicated questions it was said. If the Nebraskan was in the serv- fce of a British concern, according to previous discussion in such cases it | would be a lawful prize liable to seizure |and condemnation. Chief Justice Chase has held that “neutral vessels engaged in belligerent trade or service, become im- pressed with a belligerent character.’ The Nebraskan was on its way home to| fulfill a contract of its owners with the | United States navy department to carry {coal from Newport News to San Fran- {cisco. The agents were to have the Ne- |braskan in Hampton Roads June 5. It was not under charter to the navy but was (0 carry the coal as freight. The official and news dispatches on | President Wilson, but no comment was forthcoming from the White House. was indicated that a full investigation would be made as promptly as possiblo. The fact that Americans were aboard the Nebraskan would require, under the position taken by the United States, that the* vessel be given due warning and its crew removed to a place of safety before destruction.
