THE FINANCIAL SITUATION

Washington. October S0.-Efforts to re- adjust conditions in the foreign exchange market were continued here today at a conference between Sir George Paish and Basil B. Biackett. representing the Eng fish treasury; Governor Hamlin and Paul M. Warburg of the federal reserve board and A. H. Wiggin and Benjamin Strong Jr.,, representing New York banks.
 The conference adjourned to meet again tomorrow without reaching the point where a definite agreement was an nounced. Those present took pledge of secrecy as to any plans proposed.
 Despite the lack of official disclosures, however, it was apparent tonight that the conferences have resulted In concrete proposals designed to take off American obligations to England in a manner sat- isfactory to American bankers, the treas ury department and the English govern ment. Sir George. 1t was understood to- night, was able to cable his government details of the way in which American tankers plan to meet their obligations.

 It generally has been acknowledged hero for several days that England would not insist on actual cash at a period when this nation Is putting in a new banking system. Short. term paper has been. dis cussed as one way to avoid actual gold payment until American exports may re- duce the balance of trade Acceptances for foreign shipments running for 60 or 96 days with the indorsement of banks in this country were suggested tonight as means to this end and 1t was pointed out also that New York bankers may feel in position to organize a syndicate to issue short term securities acceptable to the British government.
 As plans for the coo cotton loan fund progress members of the federal re- serve board feel that the reopening of the New York and Liverpool cotton ex-' changes will not be long deferred and hope cotton will begin to flow once again in something like normal quantities to Europe. In ordinary times cotton would account in a few months for many mill lions of dollars now left on the wrong side of tha American ledger.

BELGIAN MINISTER ID MEXICO GIVEN
 HIS PASSPORTS

Mexico City, October s0.--Paul May, Belgian minister to Mexico, was hand ed his passports today by Minister of Foreign Affairs Fabella. Senor Fabella declared he was compelled to take this course because of certain aggressive and disrespectful notes directed to the Mexican government by the Belgian representative.
 The minister of foreign affairs would say nothing regarding the nature of the correspondence but it is believed the notes referred to the operation by the Mexican government of the prop erty of the Mexico Tramways com pany. The tramways company Is cap italized at $50, ,O00. 900 in gold and large percentage of the stock Is held by Bel gian capitalists. The Mexican government took over the property October 12 after the employees had struck. demanding an increase in pay. It was understood at the time that the roads would be operated by the government for 15 days, but the gov- ernment says much longer period will be necessary before adjustment can be accurately made.

BRITISH HOSPITAL
 SHIP IS WRECKED
Loss of Life as Yet Un- known-Ship's Boats
 Crushed

Whitby, England October 30.-(via Lon- don, 11:10 D. m.)-The loss of life oh the British hospital ship Rohilla, which crashed on the rocks of the Yorkshire coast near here before dawn today, was matter of doubt to- night. The vessel is total wreck, hay ing broken in two while life savers on shore were shooting lines and trying vainly to make one fast to the Inflated ship.
 Bearing physicians. nurses and hospital supplies, the Rohllla was on hr way to a Belgian or French port when driven ashore It is understood all women on board were saved, including a survivor of the Titanic disaster. The fate of the physicians is uncertain as is that of the captain and crew. The total number of people on board Is estimated at 200
 When the stricken vessel broke eight men could be seen clinging to a piece of wreckage from the afterpart of the ship. and 1t is assumed that they were swept to their death in the boiling sea. Four teen bodies had been washed ashore this evening.
 Rain was falling In torrents a gale was blowing and the seas were moun- tains when the vessel hit the rocks. Dis- tress rockets immediately flared above the Rohilla, attracting the coast guards but as the sea continued violent it was impossible to launch only two boats from shore. These boats brought back all the people they could carry.
 Most of the ships boats were crushed Tn attempts to launch them and only one got away. bearing a handful of survivors. Even these had to be dragged up the beach, as the boat capsized in the break CTS.
 For four hours members of the crew and others could be seen clinging to the rigging. their plight becoming more des- perate as the tide rose.
 In an effort to reach them the life savers shot many rockets. Then at 8:30 o'clock the inevitable came-the ships back broke.
 It is believed that most of those on board perished. Eleven physicians were among them, it Is said.
 The rescuers kept vigil on the beach tonight but their work was at n standstill, one of the two surf boats being disabled and the other unable to approach the wreck, although aided by tugs.
 ke middle part of the Rohilla was all that remained above water at mid night and on this were the survivors, whose number was .variously estimated.
 They were signalled to swim for 1t put seemed to hesitate. Several died from exposure.
 Whether the remnant of the ship could last until morning unless the sea abated seemed extremely doubtful
 Most of the population of Whitby stood on the shore all day watching the attempts at rescue
 Six members of the ships crew who reached shore said they had attempt ed to drag a line with them but the heavy surf forced them to cut 1t. b. The strong wind invariably swept aside of their mark the rocket lines, but cheer went up when one finally reahed the forestay.
 There the line hung, out of reach of the wretched throng aboard until 1t was cut by wreckage. Every effort was made by the rescuers to launch boats.
 One boat was brought three miles overland and lowered over the cliff, but it was smashed on the rocks.

CHOLERA ALARMING
 AUSTRIAN TROOPS

Venice, October SO.-(via Paris)-Re- orts from Austria say cholera is in- creasing to an alarming extent through out Austria-Hungary and that there is not single crownland in Austria and scarcely any in Hungary where fresh cases are not reported daily.
 The epidemic Is said to be worse in Galicia, where about 100 cases are re- ported daily. among the troops in the field. The Hungarian ministry of the interior has issued a notice saying that doctors are urgently needed at infec- tious disease hospitals.
 Reports say that the wounded every where are suffering intensely because of a shortage of surgeons in the field. Many wounded in Vienna and Budapest are in a terrible condition. their in- juries being poorly dressed at the front. t5 T .H e

U. s. NOT TOOPPOSE PRIVATE LOANS ID
 WARR|NG NATIONS
Credit Loans Viewed as Private Transactions by Officials-Germany
 Wants Money

Washington. October 3o--Credit Roans by American banks 5to.belligerent countries are viewed as private trans actions by the Washington govern ment and administration officials will not interpose their influence against such transactions
 This was learned on the highest au- thority today after it became known that German fipanciers were contem- plating establishment of credit loan in this country similar to the s10,00o,- 900 credit fund negotiated by the Ma tional City bank of New York and oth- CT bankers for France.
 The decision of the administration, it was said tonight, may lead to the purchase in the United States of $50,- 00o,ooo worth of supplies by Russia and an equal amount by Germany. De- tails of the expected transactions are lacking here.
 High administration officials insist that President Wilson has not changed the view he announced at the outbreak of the war, that the loaning of money 10 belligerents would be inconsistent with the true spirit of American neu trality.' A distinction was drawn by officials, however between the loans referred to at that time-such as bond issues offered for public sale-and credit transactions intended as a checking account against the purchase by be1ligerents of foodstuffs and sup plies from American firms. t
 Can't Oppose Loan
 The President realizes that this gov ,.tr fr. loans of any character. nor is there any obligation of international law forbid ding them. During, the Russo apanese war loans were f1oated for Japan in the United States through public bond issues. The President is understood, however, to regard that form of loan as liable to stiriup i'll feeling and prej- udices.
 Officials have decided to refrain from discussing loans, the position of the government is an embarrassing one. When J. P Morgan & Co. asked the opinion of the state department two months ago as to whether the ad- ministration would approve of a loan to France, the Washington government expressed itself against it. Bankers, however, are not obliged to ask the advice of the administration and they are as much at liberty to engage In credit loans as are American ammuni- I1O0 1l1InS to Stnu IluilltlOHS Ol war to belligerent armies. The American government has no power under law to prevent commerce in contraband. The burden rests on the belligerents affected, who can seize contraband, in- cluding cargoes of gold, if destined to bel1igerent ports.
 Won't Export Gold
 Under what is known as credit loans there is no intention, it is understood, to sSport any gold from the United States. Large funds will be established by the belligerent countries with their financial agents here, who will pay the bills of the European nations to Amer fcan dealers in munitions of war and supplies. The bankers will be given shore time notes by the belligerent governments with much better rate of interest, it is said, than ordinarily could be obtained. In return European governments will agree to spend large sulne of money in the United States for supplies.
