AMERICAN LINER'S SAFE VOYAGE.

B

New York, February 24.

A correspondent aboard the Philadelphia, which has ar rived from Liverpool and is the first American liner to rea the gauntlet of submarinism, says the ship left Liverpool in disregard of German blockade orders and without prescribed markings. She passed through the danger zone, practically without altering her regular course. She met an abundance of British ships but saw no sign of pirates. Of the 200 first class passengers booked, 61 sailed. They were very cheerful, despite the presence of reporters on the boat train, seeking information as to the identity of the passengers, obviously with a view to obituary notices. There were 66 second class and 114 third class passengers, including the crew of the tor- pedoed Housatonic.

NEW YORK AND ITS POOR.

SEVEN DUTCH STEAMERS TORPEDOED.

Presumed All Lives Saved.

London, February 24.

The Dutch steamers Zaandik, Noorderdijk, Eemland, Gas- terland, Jocates, Meando and Bandoeng were torpedoed on February 9 The crews were landed and it is presumed that all were saved.

Attacked Near English Channel.

London, February 24, The seven torpedoed Dutch steamers, four of which were bound for Holland with full cargoes, were attacked in the western approaches of the English Channel. It is noteworthy that no instructions regarding the routes were either asked for or given by the British Admiralty, the whole arrange ments being in the hands of the Dutch authorities.

Where Boats Ha led From.

London, February 24, The torpedoed Dutch steamers total $3,000 tons. The Menado and Bandoeng both belong to the Rotterdam Lloyd and were from Batavia for Rotterdam. The Jucktra of. the Rotterdam Lloyd was from New York to Rotterdamı while the Gaasterland and Eemland both owned by the Royal Dutch were from Amsterdam to Buenos Aires and New York res pectively. The Noorderdijk and Zaandik are both of the Holland America Line and were from New York to Rotter dam and from Rotterdam for Philadelphia respectively.

It is offrindly aunoticed that when the unrestricted sub- marining policy was proclaimed the Dutch Government protested and urged Germany to take care that none of the Dutch vessels en roule to and from Dutch parts should fall vietime. Germany replied that she was ready to comply but it was impossible to guarantee absolute safety, The seven vessels availing themselves of the German offer of opportunity left port together on February 22. They were all torpedoed without their papers being examined." Two hundred of the crews have been landed and it is supposed that, the remainder are safe,

Dutch Indignation High.

The Hague, February 24. The Dutch Press is very indignant at the German out- rage, which completely disregards the rights of the Dutch people. It is declared that no big nation could thus be treat- ed. Dutch honour can no longer be maintained, and proteste are made "against the deepest humiliation, to which a natjou has yet been subjected."
