(Received 11.45 a.m.) New York,. July 9. Reports differ as whether' the submarine was armed. Pilot Cook says it was unarmed and rated as a merchantman with a merchant ci*ew. Tho submarine is about three hundred feet in length with a thirty-foot beam. It is driven by two Diesel engines, and can submerge" in two minutes. Commander Kairig told Pilot Cook that they had no trouble on tho trip, which was uneventful. When vessels were sighted it submerged, as Commander Kairig was careful not to be seen, fearing wireless reports. Kairig and the crew are greatly elated at the success cf the voyage.

UNDER CLOSE SURVEILLANCE. About ten o'clock the United States coastguard cutter steamed, up Chesa-. pealce Bay in pursuit of the submarine The captain would not say the object. •' . It is understood that the vessel' i? being kept under close * surveillance as a Neutral precaution. , < It is stated that the space rtsually devoted to torpedo'tubes was utilised for cargo.. ■ ' h ■.-.: '■ <• •• ':.'.■,••'■ }'* : . /■

The Deut schland remained . under water while- in the, British blockade waters, on one occasion being closed down for two days. An American steamer sighted the submarine off Virginia Cape. The captain said there was a superstructure of 'fifteen feet risible; he sawno guns or torpedo tubes.

The Tinted States Government will determine whether it is a warship or a vessel of commerce, thereby dcij|4? ing the leng.h of stay in port. Cullison (captain of the tug ThomaJ Piualine), endeavoured to allay 6us| picion by rejwrting that he was awuitf ing an alien ship on Saturday event ing. I While the submarine was trying t<| pick up the tug. the submarine waf sighted, by the warship and was obligl ed to submerge. When she came uf the surface, she was nearly 150 !south of Virginia Cape and it waif then dark, but immediately she shap-j ed a course for Virginia- Cape, whicil [was reached safely. Captain Hans Hindi, who met thrt submarine, said the English blockade; amounts to nothing. In a few weeks! submarines will be coining from Ger-j many like the liners do from Enk-f laiad. Huich sent< a long, code tett?4. gram to the German Amhassador.i Washington, describing the craft aadj cargo.
