Hamburg - American Steamer Headed for New York With Notables, Escapes Damage. DOVER, England, Oct, 4.—Fifteen oM- cers and men of the British navy were drowned to-day by the sinking of the submarine “B. 2” after she had beet cut in two by the Hamburg-American liner Amerika off the coast of Kent. The commander of the little vessel, Ueut. Percy B. O'Brien, was among the victims, but his second in command, Lieut. Richard I. Pulleyne was rescued after being a long time in the water. He was the only survivor and wa! utterly exhausted when picked up. The torpedo bomt was of a fleet of six under water vessels which were actising patrol manoeuvring. “SANK A MILE,” SAYS THE SOLE SURVIVOR, The submarine was struck at right angles amidships. She was sliced in haif by the sharp bow of the liner and both halves sunk at once. A haze which was banging over the water was #0 thick that those on the decks of the liner could not make out the figures of the two officers or the fourteen men of the crew in the whirlpools which fol- lowed the sinking of the broken vessel, As soon as the Amerika could be stopped boats were lowered away. There was at first very little excitement among her passengers, as they id not realize from the slight shock and the following grating that there had been a serious collision and thought only that something had gone wrong in the en- sine room. Submarine B, 16, assisting in the search, found Lteut. Richard Pulleyne swimming over the spot where the sub- marine sank. He was almost exhauste As he was hauled aboard he was barely able to gasp: We were cut in two. Everything went down. I sank @ mile, I think." ‘Then he collapsed and was taken to the Amerika, The liner's boats were kept out for several hours’ searching the waters for more of the crew or for wreckage. The only plece which w: found was th on which Li Pulleyne was floated to the surface. The boats scattered life buoys lighted with electric storage torones in their wake until the sea Was dotted with the Uttle lamps glowing through the fos. The wireless operator of the Amer- tka sent out @ general call for help, which was caught by torpedo boats at @ distance. When the liner drew away there were several naval vessels work- ing about the scene of the di SIXTH DISASTER TO BRITISH SUBMARINES.

He called aloud for the Spanish consul, as- the friend of King nd stood on came. His ar. guments were unavailing and the Prince—the barge gone on ahead—was sent to the Island on the launch of Commissioner Williams. When an immigration inspector con- fronted him in the saloon of the France to-day and began asking him disagree- able questions, the Prince seemed to look on the official as an impertinent Joker. But when the inspector asked him if it were not true that he had been expelled from France as a crooked gambler, and if 1t were not true that he had recently attempted suicide because of the failure of his pursuit of Miss Duke or for some other reason, the Prince was at first tn & rage and then in @ cold sweat, Banker Jules Bache was at the pler to meet the Prince. His Highness, Pigna- telll d’Aragon, Prince Ludovico, breathed an explosive sigh of relief.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.—After two hours of practically une Strained denunciation of his accusers, on the witness stand to-day before the Clapp Senatorial committee investigating his campaign fund of 1904, Theodore Roosevelt was prodded to anger under cross-examinatjom: by Senator Paynter, this afternoon, During his morning testimony, the Colongl had practically given the lie to seven persons who had testified to or given out statements that refuted his claims that no trust hed knowingly been permitted to contribute to his election to the Presidency, Under Mr. Paynter’s guidance, however, he was led to admit that he had been informed by either Cornelius N. Bliss or Cortelyou that a.maa who was concerned in the Standard Oil and “other interests” had ‘bean Permitted to aid the finances, but that his contribution was not.regandgd as Standard Oil money. 3 Questioned specifically about corporations’ contributions, Roos velt admitted he knew of one from the Steel interests, He got the tnfore mation from Frick, he testified, and added: “I took It for granted that he contributed, because he bad known of my order to return the Standard Oil donation and sald he would be glad te make that good.” The earlier testimony of the Progressive candidate was full of periods. 0, In denunciatory climax, the former President declared Senator Pam 7 rose should be thrown out of the Senate “because of his own admis. sions before this committee that he advised John D, Archbold ¢o try '-\ to purchase immunity from prosecution by the Government.” “Archbold testified that Bliss tried to blackmail him,” he went oa y. “I don't believe that.
