Admiral Evans Flagship Blown Up Rumor
An unverified report from Washington claims the flagship Connecticut of Admiral Evans was blown up in Rio Janeiro harbor yesterday amid rumors of Japanese and German collaboration. No confirmation exists and the tale is treated as a canard by officials. Roosevelt orders Nevada troops retained at Goldfield to aid policing, as the legislature seeks state security. Carson City prepares to convene Monday to introduce relief measures for the Goldfield crisis.
