via Amsterdam dispatch from Sara.
jevo, Bosnia, saying that the indictment
against Gaviro Prinzip, the assassin of
Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his
consort, together with 21 of his ac.

The men are charged with high trea-
son in connection with the assassna-
tion of the Archduke. Three other per-
sons have been charged with being
cognizent of the plot and of having
concealed weapons with which the out
rage was perpetrated. The indictment
deals at length with the Servian So
eiety called Narodna, which organized
the conspiracy, with methods by which
bombs and weapons were smuggled into
Bosnia and relates how the conspirators
at Saraievo recruited their accomplices,
distributed their weapons and took their
places in the street TO await the com.
ing of the arch ducal party.
Prinzip, under examination, admitted
that with second bullet he intended
to kill Field Marshal Oskar Potiorek,
the Governor of Bosnia, but that he
used it for the archduchess.

Found in Archives of
Belgian Staff at Ber.
lin. Says the German
Ambassador
A CONSPIRACY
WITH THE ALLIES
Says German Contention Is Proved
That Allies Did Not Intend to Re-
spect Belgian Neutrality and That
Latter Did Not Exist

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Count Won
Bernstorff, German Ambassador here,
to-day issued a statement in connection
with telegram from Berlin, announc
ing the finding in the archives of the
Belgian general staff at Brussels by
the German military authorities of doc
uments which, it was claimed by Ber-
lin, showed details of the plan for
landing an expeditioner English force.
The statement follows:
The German Ambassador drew
special attention to-day to the telegram
which came from German headauar-
ters. This telegram proves the German
contention that the allies did not in
tend to respect Belgian neutrality. 1t
even proves more, namely, that Belgian
neutrality practically did not exist and
that the Belgian government was con-
spring with the allies against Germany.
Notwithstanding the 'denials coming
from French sources it is fact that
French prisoners were taken at Lieoe
and at Namur who acknowledged that
they had been in those fortresses be.
fore the German troops entered Bel,
GUM.
On the French side it has been
asserted that the German chancellor in
proclamation had acknowledged that
germany was doing wrong in violating
Belgian neutrality. 1t must, however,
not be overlooked that the chancellor
further said, we know that the allies
do not intend to respect Belgian neu-
trality and Germany in the position she
is in, attacked from three sides, can
not wait whilst the allies can wait At
that time the Belgian archives were
not at the disposal of the German
government.
If the chancellor had known at tbe
time he made his speech that Belgium
was not Neutral he would certainly
have spoken of the alleged Belgian neu,
trallty i'll different way.
Germany has violated the frontiers
or no really neutral country whilst the
aiiies are on record for disregardinp all
obligations towards China
