LONDON, July 2.—Three British steamers, the Inglemoor, the Cau-lmuntcations concerning Mexico, and casan and the Welbury, were tor- pedeed and gunk to-dgy by German submarines. The crew of the Ingi moor and some of the crew of “thi Caucasian were landed at Falmout , The crew of the Welbury is safe. The steamers Inglemoor and Cau- casian were sunk by the U-a9, the submarine which torpedoéd and sank the Lusitania on May 7 with the loss ,. of more than 1,100 lives. The Caucasian was pursued for sev- eral minutes before the submarine overhauled her, The U boat fired sev- enteen shells. Ono carried off a funnel and another knocked the wheel out of the captain's hands, injuring him slightly. According to the correspondent at Plymouth of the Exchange Telegraph Company, the submarine sank the In- glemoor while that steamer was res- cuing the men in ihe lifeboats trom the torpedoed Caucasian. Advices to the Caucasian's owners this afternoon said that one of her boats, carrying nineteen men, rowed toward the French coast. Its arrival has not yet been reported.
