THE E1Eo INCIDENT.
Won Lesssll's Explanation Far fron
 Satisfactory to England.

Satisfactory to England. London, May 1.-The Emo incident at Tientsin, May {. when some German soldiers guarding a German bridge across the Peiho, at the south end oi the British concession there. fired on the British tug Emo, wounding two oi her crew, after the vessel touched the bridge, which impeded river trafi1c. Il assuming very grave character.
 Owing to the unsatisfactory nature of the German commanders expiana- tions. the matter had been referred tc the British minister at Pekin, Sir Ern- est Snow, with view to diplomatic action being taken.
 to The London Times, published today after two of the Chinese crew had been wounded, they have since died, the re- mainder were arrested. taken to . German prison and logged.
 General Lorne Campbell asked Gen. eral von Lessell for an explanation for the unwarrantable act of brutality. Won Lessell's reply. which has pust been received. promising that the in- cident shall not be repeated. at least so far as the use of arms Is concerned, is regarded as quite inadequate. The Times, in an editorial, says:
 Apart from the question of the flag which the tug flew, we have no hesita- tion in declaring that such punish ments are out of all proportion to the alleged offense. We would have con- demned them e they had been inflicted on collies, sailing under the German flag, at Kiao Chou. The fiogging proves that the German authorities deemed that something more than two lives was necessary to atone for the heinous offense of running against a German bridge. We will want to know who the authorities who took the law into thefk own hands and executed it in this fashion are.
 "The fact that the crew delt with in this high handed style were under the British flag introduces serious fac- tor. Won Lessels's apology Is an ag- gravation of the original wrong-doing. It is not the only place where Ger mans are disposed to forget that we are their allies and not their subordi- nates"

charge d'sffairs, Mr.. Thomas Herran.
called at the state department today and
had an extended conference with Acting
Secretary Adie, concerning the latest
phases of the trouble at and about the
1sthmus OF Panama, and particularly the
official dispatches from Colombia stating
that Eeuddor had cast her lot against
Colombia.
Mr.. Herran presented the two dispatch
es received yesterday. one from Cali.
near the Ecusdorean frontier, and the
| other from Panama.
Secretary Adee and Mr.. Herran went
over the situation on the Pacific and the
Atlantic side and discussed the steps
which should be taken. On the part of the
United States, the presence OF the Iowa
and Ranger at Panama will give a large
available force. Colombia also has some
small craft at Panama and II is expected
that as result OF the new developments
these will be moved south toward the
|. ,uadorean border on the Atlantic side.
