"WASHINGTON, September 3. All the crew of the 55, (mentioned in the carlier cables) bave now been rescued. Some are suffering from shock, but none are seriously injured. Their plight was discovered by the transport which espied a telephone buoy, bob. bing in the ocean which had been released from the submarine and from which a gong was sounding. The transport picked up and examined the buoy, and found that the telephone apparatus attached from which voices from the depths cried:-"We are submarice $5 and have been submerged for 36 hours. Our air supply is getting shorter. The machinery is damaged. Send help." It appears that the telephone bucy is still in the experimental state. It is releasable from inside the submarine and a gong sounds a long distance when the buoy reaches the surface. In the night time it sends out electric light flashes.
