WASHINGTON. D. C., June 8.—
The Americau merchant ship which
battled for an hour and a half in |
the Mediterranean Sea with a Ger-1

adversary after an exchange of half
a hundred shots, was not the Mongo

fuses to give out the name of the
victorious vessel. The captain of the
American ship states that the sub
marine was first seen at a distance of
about 7000 yards. She carried i
six inch guns forward and aft and
flew no flag to establish her identity.
The merchantman hoisted her signal
number and the submarine responded
but immediately opened fire on the
ship at a distance of 2300 yards. The
engagement was kept up for an hour |
and a half.
