BERLIN, July l2.-It is understood
that the second court martial in rela-
ton to the iron-clad erased Kurfurat
disaster condemned several Of the
officers to two years arrest in the

the authorities consider culpable, has
escaped conviction, and it is therefore
possible the emperor will order a new
trial.
