A dispatch from Ambassador Oersrd re
porting the result of the Inquiry he has
been directed to make momentarily wss
expected tonight. It Is presumed that
the Inquiries already have been made.
They concerned the rases of ths Sussex,

gineer. Count von Bernstorff. the German sm
hsssador, returned to Washington tonight
from a visit to New York, lie said he
had no word of any kind from his gov
ernment relating to th recent develop
ment. First official Information concerning
the sinking of the Eagle Toint waa con
tained in a dispstch rerelved late In the
day from Consul Frost at Queenstown
This read aa follows:
"Brltlah ateamer Eagle Point torpedoed
yeaterday without warning 100 miles from
land. All saved. One American."
In Government fervlee.
Consul Frost Immediately ws In
structed to gather additional Informa
tion. Press dispatches from Csnada last
night made the flat assertion thst the
Eagle Point was In government service.
The State department had no Information
en thla subject. If the ship was a gov
ernment auxiliary, the United Ptates, of
courae, would not be concerned In the
attack upon It.
