Tha hope of Philadelphia! that a 1700

doomed to disappointment after Con

the committee, attacked the proposed ap

Tho direct statement that tho Whlto

while making for port, was in tho service
of tho British Admiralty wns made In

Officials said that the statement that
the, Cymric was on Admiralty service
f would prevent her sinking without warn
ing being made an International Incident.
It 13 likely, however, that Consul Frost
will send a complete report of the facts
when all of the survivors are landed.
Tho White Star freighter, of 13,000
tons, which was under orders from the
British Admiralty and carried a cargo of
war supplies estimated to be worth nearly
$1,000,000, was supposed to be under the
convoy of a warship because of ttfe Im
portance and value of her cargo.
R was reported as possible that the at
tack might have been made In the
presence of an English man of war.
The Cymric which sailed from New
York on April 39, was commanded by
Captain F. hi Readnell, and carried.
"among other articles, the following
ISrght cases of Ilrearms. 13 caseu of
guns. 80 cases of rifles, 820 cases of gun
