February having reached there
safely up to this, with the excep

UNWARNED, BIG STEAMER
IS SENT TO THE BOTTOM
LONDON, Feb. 26.—The Cunarder
Laconia was sunk off the Irish coast
yesterday.
Two hundred and fifty survivors
were landed in Queenstown tonight.
The Laconia was a comparatively
new boat of eighteen thousand tons
and carried a heavy cargo of contra
band. The cabled passenger list
shows that one hundred were on
board, ten of which were Amer
icans.
The Laconia, survivors report,
was torpedoed without warning
and the submarine was not visible
although the approaching torpedo
was seen when too late.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Feb. 26.—
The State Department has cabled
the American Ambassador to secure
from Consul Frost a full report of
the sinking of the Laconia.
The Laconia left New York on
February IS and was bound for
Liverpool with an assorted cargo
containing contraband of war but no
munitions. The Department at this
time does not know whether or not
any Americans lost their lives in the
sinking of this ship. In the ab-1
sence of any statement to the effect
that there has been a number lost,
the Department of State has taken
no official cognizance of the sink
ing.
As far as can be gathered from
the undetailed reports, there is some
uncertainty as to whether the sink
ing took place at night or not .

Deputy Marshal Elmer Reed re
turned from Council City yesterday
taking with him some prisoners
who were bound over to the Grand
Jury from that place.
