VERA CRUZ, Mexico, May 13.-There was great
doubt in the minds of Americans here today whether
United States Consul John R. Sllinan cassnlate of
President Wilson, had really been released from prison in
Saltilo as reported from Mexico City.
Consul Canada here received word from the Brazil
ian minister in the capital that General Huerta had in
formed him Slinan had been set at liberty. He said the
consul would be aided in reaching Mexico City and from
there sent to Puerto Mexico. 1t also reported that
Silman might arrive here Friday but dozen Americans
with their families who imprisoned with Sillman
have reached Vera Cruz, and they declare that far
they know the American consul is still in jail
The Americans reaching here declared that they were

IMPERIAL
Chancellor Of Germany Still on

of His Dismissal.

BERLIN. Aug. DIR, Won Beth
mann Hollweg, the imperial chan
celTor, has now held that, position
five years, to the confusion of many
prophets. The approaching resigna-
tino or dismissal Of the Philosopher
of Hohenf1now," as he is called, has
been many times predicted since the
emperor called him to take the
place of Prince Won Buelow, but
these predictions have regularly
been upset and there is today no in
dication that the Chancellor does not
possess the full confidence Of the
ruler.
Won Bethmann Hollweg has been
the target for much criticism, and
he has unqestionably made some mis-
takes, but review Of his Ave years
OF work shows that he has accom-
plished as much II not more than any
other chancellor since Bismarck. The
adoption Of the greatest armament
bill known in the empires history,
by Reichstag with more than 100
Socialists and an anti-government
majority. is In part to be credited to
the chancellor. His services for
peace in 1911, when the Prussian jim
goes and the crown prince were for
war with France, are acknowledged
and the growth of a better under
standing between Germany and
Great Britain is in no small degree
