Dragging On The Sunken Vessel.
Bizerta, Tunis (By Cable) AFTER
much effort, divers succeeded in plac-
ing a hawser from the Cyclopes I'M
der the bow of the sunken sub
marine boat Lutin and then tried to
get a chain under her stern. The
dragging was done by two torpedo
boats, four tugs and small boats
from the British warships.
1t was established that the crew
of the Lutin consisted of two officers
and IA men.
The authorities here deny that the
disaster could have originated in the
injuries sustained by the Lutin when
she stranded fortnight ago, as
on that occasion she grounded at the
entrance of the inner port, on a
solid bottom, and backed off with
out any assistance. Later the hull
of the submarine boat was examined
by divers, who pronounced it to be
uninjured.
Vice Admiral Lord Charles Beres-
ford, commander of the British
Mediterranean fleet, telegraDhed to
Admiral Bellus that, in addition to
the ships sent. all the resources of
the British Mediterranean fleet were
at Bellue's disposition. The latter
thanked Lord Beresford in the name
of the French government.

DANGER OF THE SUBMARINE
The French Press Wants Their Use
Prohibited.

Paris (By Cable) The cause OF
the disaster to the submarine boat
Lutin, involving the loss of 16 lives,
is still mystery. The naval officers
are generally of the opinion that
when Lieutenant FepouX ordered the
boat to be submerged in the rougn
sea running the helmsman depressed
the rudder too much and the Lutln
pitched to the bottom, overturnlnS
her accumulators and suffocatlng Ine
crew with the fumes from the aclos
before they had time to release the
safety weights or the telephone BUOY
The water pressure is 60 pounds
to the inch at the depth where the
submarine boat lies, which, it is be-
lieved, would be sufficient to start
her plates, especially if it is true, as
announced in a special dispatch from
BiZerta, that the Lutin stranded a
fortnight ago; that her hull may
have been injured and that she was
not locked after having been hauled
Off
The Ministry of Marine is coming
in for a lot of criticism, owing to
its failure to properly equip the b.
Zerta Naval Station with salving ap-
paratus. as it was proposed to do
after the disaster to the submarine
boat Farfadet, which sank last sum-
mer off Bizerta. Some of the news
papers express the opinion that the
repeated accidents to submarine
boats should lead to an international
agreement to prohibit their use,
claiming that it is proved that they
are more dangerous to their own
crews than they are ever likely to
be to an enemy.
The Ministers of the Marine, ac-
companied by Vice Admiral Barnard
and three technical engineers, consti-
tuting body of inquiry to investi-
gate the disaster, has started for BIZ
Zerta.

TAFT HAS DIFFICULT TASK.
Makes Threat Of Intervention to Bring
the Cubans to Terms.

HAVANA second day OF confer
ence with the leaders Of the factions
In the Cuban conflict has not enabled
Secretary Taft ana Assistant Secretary
Bacon to announce any plan for com
promising the difficulty.
So strenuous are the appeals OF both
Liberal and Moderate party leaders
that the situation becomes increas.
ingly complicated rs the negotiations
proceed.
Secretary Taft said last night that
he believed that when they are brought
face to face with the danger OF losing
Independence forever all patriotic Gu.
bans will be willing to make conces.
sions.
Mr.. Taft added that the United
States peace cmissaries are occupying
most delicate position and have un.
dertaken to hear all complaints and
that they have made themselves thor.
Oughly conversant with the political
turmoil OF Cuba and they can not ex.
press themselves freely In the confer.
ence. fearing that possible misunder.
standing may have a deterrent effect
on the proceedings.
The only counsel to the political
leaders given by Mr.. Taft was on the
subject of not engaging in further agi
tation that might make Intervention by
the United States necessary. This nd.
vice he offers freely to all to whom he
gives audience. regardless OF party.
Mr.. Taft has made II clear that tho
United States Is not seeking to exer-
else control over the island, or any Of
It's affairs: but he has quoted Presi-
dent Roosevelt's letter to Mr.. Quesada
to the effect that the United States has
n duty which It can not shIrk. To
those whom he has met In conference
Mr.. Taft has said that now Is the time
to decide whether they would have
Cuba live as a nation. He has weighed
every word carefully. and has neither
upheld nor criticised the principles Of
either faction.
Whether the men they have met In
Havana represent the sentiment OF the
entire island is n question that Is
troubling the American mediators.
There is some fear that even II the en-
tanglement Is Strengthened out here
the opposing forces In Santa Clara
and Pinar del Rio provinces. and even
In Santiago, will not be satisfied.
Mr.. Taft realizes that unless the
national spirit Ia aroused the CONNER
cial interests will have no confidence
in any settlement that may be reached.
