DOZEN SHOTS AND TORPEDO FIRED INTO STEAMER LONDON, July 26.—The American steamship Leclanaw, from Archangel, July 8, for Belfast, with a cargo of flax ‘has been sunk by a German submarine off the northwest coast of Scotland. She was torpedoed on July 25. All the members of the crew of the Leclanaw were saved. They were brought into Kirkwall in their own boats. Before sinking the vessel, the German U boat commander exercised | the “visit and search” required by the international rules of warfare. If Official reports bear out statement, the attack on the Leelanaw probably will not cause a crisis between the United States and Germany. The dispatches said the submarine cOmamnder first assured himself that the steamer carried contraband of war and then gave the take to their boats. In diplomatic nr his crew time to circles here it was declared that Yhe Leelanaw incident therefore becomes almost identical with that of the American bark William) P.

She .was formerly called the} Earnwell, She was 280 feet long an‘ of 1,924 gross tons. She left Galveston May 5, and New York May 17, with a cargo of cotton for Archangol.
