M. By Associated Press London. May 7, 5.50 P. M. —The manager of the Cunard company has informed the Liverpool Evening Ex press that he received this afternoon the following message from the wire less station at Old Head, off Kinsale: "The Lusitania was sunk by a sub marine at 2.33 o'clock this afternoon eight miles south by west (of this point)." Cunarder's Passengers Believed to Be Safe By Associated Press i London. May 7.—The passengers on board the Lusitania are believed to be safe. CUNARD LINER LUSITANIA TORPEDOED OFF IRELAND [Continued from First l*a#e.] " " "" ; London, May 7.—The Cunard line steamer Lusitania from New York, May 1, for Liverpool with 1253 passengers on board, was tor- 1 pedoed this afternoon at 2 o'clock at a point about ten miles off Old Head. Kinsale, Ireland, and later went down. It is believed that her passengers are safe. No details of how they may have been rescued, however, are at hand. One message received here says it is not known how many of the Lusitania's pas sengers were saved. Relief was immediately sent out from Queenstown. If she floated a reasonable length of time before going down it is possible that some of the rescuing ships got to her side. It is believed that i the Lusitania's water-tight bulkhead would tend to keep her afloat, i Two hundred of the passengers on board the Cunarder were] transferred to her from the steamer Cameronia before she left New York. The presence of German submarines in the trans-Atlantic lanes of travel has been indicated by the sinking during the past few days of other British vessels off the Irish coast. It was the Lusitania which, last February, made use of the i American flag to protect her from possible attack on the part of German underseat boats. The report received here says the liner was eight miles off the Irish coast when she went down. When the Lusitania sailed she had aboard 1310 passengers. ! Some nervousness had been caused because of the publication in the i morning papers of Saturday of an advertisement warning intending j travelers that a state of war existed between Germany and Great Britain and her allies; that the zone of war includes the waters ad- j jacent to the British Isles; that in accordance with notice given by the German government vessels flying the flag of Great Britain are liable to destruction in those waters and that travelers sailing in i the war zone on ships of Great Britain or her allies do so at their own risk. The advertisement was signed "Imperial German Embassy." 1 his warning apparently*did not cause many cancellations for the ship sailed with a very full passenger list. Just before the steam er s departure a number of passengers received telegrams at the pier, signed by names unknown to them and presumed to lie fictitious, advising them not to sail as the liner was to be torpedoed by sum marines. Alfred' G. \ anderbilt was one of the passengers who received such a message. He destroyed it without comment. Charles P. Sumner, general agent of the Cunard line was at the pier and in a statement made then said that the voyage of the I .usitania would not be attended by any risk whatever as the liner had a speed of twenty-five and a half knots and was provided with unusual water-tight bulkheads. In commenting on the report of the torpedoing of the Lusitania to-day marine men pointed out that in their opinion the Lusitania could not be sunk bv a single torpedo. 1 he Lusitania was delayed for more than two and a half hours in sailing for Liverpool last Saturday on account of having to take over the 163 passengers from the Anchor Liner Cameronia. which was chartered at the last minute by the British Admiralty. Charles T. Bowring. head of the firm of Bowring Brothers, and president of the St. Georges Society, was one of the passengers who sailed on the Lusitania. He commented on the advertisement appear ing in the German papers characterizing it as a silly performance and below the dignity of a diplomatic representative "of anv foreign government. . Alexander Campbell, general manager for John Dewar & Sons,' London, who also sailed, referred to the advertisement as "tommy rot." Other passengers on the Lusitania included Elbert Hubbard, publisher of the Philistine; D. A. Thomas, the wealthy Welsh coal 1 operator and his daughter, Lady Mack worth, the English suffra gette. All these persons took occasion to say that they saw nothing to worry at in the advertisement. Now York. May 7.—lf the reports are true that the I.usltania was tor- Itcdocd at - o'clock this morning and that she did not go down until half past two this afternoon, she was afloat for more than 12 hours a period <>r tune which undoubtedly gave opportunity for efforts at the removal of passengers. It is not known just how far from shore the I,usitania was wlien she was struck. A dispatch from I<ondon set forth that assistance was sent to her The cablegram was preceded by the following messages: "Liverpool. May 7.—l.ands end wireless reports distress calls made by l.usitania as follows: " 'Come at once. Big list. Position ten miles west Kinsale.'

Submarines May Have Been Waiting For Ship The presence of German submarines oft the southern coast of Ireland and along the line of travel the Lusitania would follow in going to Liverpool, was made known in a dispatch from Glasgow last night which recited that the British steamer Cherbury had been torpedoed in the Atlantic ocean, off the Irish coast. This was on April 27. Two other vessels were sent to the j bottom more recently, the Centurion and the Candidate. Just where these ships were attacked has not been made known but their destinations lead to the belief that one or more German submarines have been operating in the lines of trans-Atlantic travel. It may be that they were waiting for the Lusl . tania, and in the meanwhile attacked such other vessels as came within their range. Lusitania Flew U.
