Washington, Aug. 21.—While the administration in¬ vestigated "certain discrepancies" in accounts of the sinking of the Arabic, the receipt of surprisingly meagre reports of the dfsaster left officials here to-day in a state of nervous in¬ decision. I
I Official advices so far received to-day tell nothing except}
I   that only two Americans are missing.   They are: I
' Msr. Josephine Bruguiere of New York and Dr. Edmund i
F. Woods, of Janesville, Wis. {
The Secretary of State denied early to-night that he had \ i   received a long cable from Ambassador Gerard concerning the ,   Arabic.    The Ambassador at Berlin it was stated has not yet
been asked to make a report or take up the question with the
German government.
Elarlier in the day it was stated at the Department that the Ambassador at Berlin probably will receive instructions later, but the impression left was that nothing is to be said to Ger¬ many until the administration is sure of its facts.
The administration is now sure of but few facts and the position of this government is yet to be shaped.
There  was  no let-up  in  the  tension I by   the   statement   in   the   affidavit   of

It was after this conference it be-' came known thai the discrepancies in the -Arabic's iindoinB have added to the peiplexity of the situation. One ol these disrreivancies is said to be showr.
Zellah Covington, an American sur¬ vivor, that the Arabic had chanced her course when the submarine struck the vessel. This mlRht indicate that the Arabic was proceeding to the relief of the steamer Dunsley which had been torpedoed in the vicinity by a Ger¬ man submarine only a few minutes previously.

the     CovliiKton   affidavit-   which     was
cabled   to   the   state   department   from
i Queenstown last ni^ht.
I     This    is  confusitiB  when    compared
I with the declaration of Captain Finch.
; The ship's commander said he learned
i of   the   presence   of   a   submarine   only
when  he saw the torpedo.
The conflict indirectly raised hy these two statements is such that the American embassey has been asked to clear It up and further affidavits are anxiously awaited by officials here.
This povernment is still without of¬ ficial report concernins: the vital ques¬ tion of whether the Arabic was con- I voyed by Hritisli warships at the time I f)f the attack, or had been convoyed • throuch iiarts of the war zone. I'ress I dispatches from London say the Arabic

"Through a bold stroke the British army has dealt the Turks a humiliat¬ ing and disastrous surprise, resulting In the absolute capture and destruc¬ tion of the main lines of communica¬ tion between Constantinople and the forces defending the Ciallipoli penin¬ sula, thus cutting off the ammunition and f(>4id supplies which had moved down the peninsula to the bas^ of the army in the field. The result was brought about by n ruse. Huge and heavily equipped forces were concen¬ trated by the allies on various inland bases near the Asia .Minor seacoast. The allies made a great display of an Intention to invade Asia .Minor and the Turks rushed every available man to tho dofoii.se of Smyrna, Adramyti and other Asi.itic cities.
Surprise Attack. Suddenly during the night of Aug, IS. thousands of troops at half a dozen bases embarked on transports, de¬ stroyers and trawlers and moved rap- Idly to a known redezvous. Like a thunderbolt the British invaded the Oallitioli position at Siilva Bay, where
Turkish outposts surrendered. Turkish reports say that 60,000 British troops landed  within  24 hours."
When half the force was ashore, it was divided into two sections. The flrst section moved northeast and the second' southeast in an attempt to make a .Uinction with the Australian and Xew Zealand forces north of (Jaba Tepe. They covered si.x miles before I night fall.
The Greatest Battle. j Turkish forces were hurriedly mobil- I ized and rushed to opjiose the invasion. The Turks received re-enforcements and then there began the liiggest battle that has yet been fought on the tialli- poli   peninsula.
Silent bayonet attarks punctuated the night, small iiarties of Turks charging the   tr.iops   working   on   defences.
During Saturday night the Turks mo¬ bilized about 70,000 men and at day- lireak flung them against various piiints of the Biitish lines.
The  liattle  raged all  day   in  terrific
heat.    Toward  night  the  front   formed
an   irregular   semi-circle   centering   on
Sulva   bay and  having a radius'of five
miles.       The     Turks     battered     awav
