GERMANS SAY ENEMY
BROKE LONDON PACT
Imperial Government Would
Learn Attitude Of NeutraIs.

WASHINGTON, Noey: 24:TCharges by
Germany that England and France
are violating the declaration of Lon
don, previously presented by the; Ber-
lin foreign Office to Ambassador Ger
ard and representatives of other neu.
trails. were published from; the en-
hassy here.
The paper says Germany thus far
has observed strictly the declaration
of London and has not changed it's
attitude despite the fragrant viola
ticns committed by its adversaries, -
and adds: 50.
1.-THE imperial German government
considers it of interest to learn what
position the neutral powers intend to
take toward the attitude adopted by
Great Britain and France contrary to
international law"
The German note declares that ad-
ditions and notifications which Great
Britain has made to the declaration of
London are of such nature that
they obliterate the declaration in sew
eral vital points. The most vital mod
iiications are contained in the rule
concerning conditional contraband.

Secretary Garrison made an official
statement today Of the status of the
cases Of the German ship Ypiranga
and Bavaria, which landed munitions
Of war for Huerta at PuerSo.. Mexico
and was fined more than one million
pesos by American officials at Vera
Cruz. General Funston reported that
the ships agents had arranged bonds.
The secretary's sta tement follows:
The customs and port officials fined
the Hamburg- American liner Bavaria
1865 pesos for having discharged a
large portion of her cargo consigned
to Vera Cruz at another port before
arriving at the port of Vera Cruz and
for correcting her manifest after ar
rival in the port Of Vera Cruz.
"A similar fine has been imposed
upon the Ypiranga, amounting to
S94,950 pesos for failure to correct in
voices accordingly and discharging his
cargo at a port other than that to
which it was consigned. General
Funston states that the officials in
question had no option under the Mex
lean law and had to assess the fines
in the amounts named. No appeal has
been taken on behalf of the vessels
and the presumption is that If any
further proceedings are to be had rep
resentattves will be made to our state
department.
Concerning sanitary conditions at
Vera Cruz, Secretary Garrison today
said
The United States army has com
pleted one months occupancy Of Vera
Cruz. They have been ashore more
than 1000 soldiers and marines and
not one death from disease has oc-
CURED within that period
Acting under the decision Of the ad-
rlinistration to embargo shipments Of
arms to Mexico, the department of
commerce is refusing to issue clear
ance papers to any Mexican port. to
Government agents have learned,
however. that ships are clearing from
the United States for ports not in
Mexico and there recognizing their
cargoes. It was said the United States
has no control over such practices.
