NEBRASKAN'S CAPTAIN UNCERTAIN IF SKIP DAMAGES BY TORPEDO

WASHINGTON, May 27. A report from Captain Greene of the American steamer Nebraskan through Consul General Skinner In London to the state department today indicates that only a careful examination of the hull of the vessel upon her arrival at Liverpool will enable American representatives to determine whether the Nebraskan struck a mine or was torpepedoed. Ambassador Page announced that he has sent a naval attache to Liverpool to investigate the damage sustained by the Nebraskan. Until this inspection is made, state department officials will give no opinion on the case. Text of Cable The Nebraskan was not flying her flag having hauled it down five minutes before the explosion. Captain Greene reported. His message cabled by Consul General Skinner read: "Green, master of the American steamer Nebraskan, in wireless addressed to me reports: 'Nebraskan had passed Fastnet Rock Tuesday 4: SO p. m. from Liverpool bound for Delaware breakwater in ballast. At 8:24 p. m. she experienced a violent shock followed instantly by a terrific explosion. The crew took to the boats. After standing by ship for one hour they returned on board and started for Liverpool. It was dusk when explosion occurred. Flag had been hauled five minutes before. Steamer's name painted on both sides of ship in letters six feet tall. Had no warning and saw nothing.' " The state department is deeply impressed by the fact that Captain Greene offers no theory as to the cause of the explosion. This is construed as indicating a doubt in the mind of the captain whether his ship was torpedoed.
