BRINGS NEW LIGHT
ON FINAL RUPTURE
BETWEEN GERMANY
AND GREAT BRITAIN

New York, Aug. THE
charge d'affairs of the German
embassy in Washington, Hankei
Won Haimhausen, issued the
following statement, prompted
by the nearly complete absence
of news of official sources on
the Fatherland:
It is erroneous to assume" he
said, "that the English declara-
ton of war was exclusively
caused by Germany's invading
Belgium. Negotiations in Lon
don had preceded the German
attack upon Liege. During these
negotiations Sir Edward Grey
promised that England would
remain neutral only under the
following conditions:
"First-Germany is not al
lowed to commit any act of hos
tiIity against the French coasts
in the North Sea.
"Second-German troops are
not allowed to pass through
Belgian territory.
"Third-The German navy is
not allowed to attack Russia
from the Baltic sea.
"To the question put by the
German government whether
Great Britain would undertake
to respect Belgian neutrality the
whole war, no. answer was
given.
"An acceptance of these con-
ditions would have led to. the
bottling up of the whole Ger
man fleet, forcing it to absolute
inactivity.
knowing, on the other hand,
that a great number of French
officers had crossed the Belgian
frontier, knowing further that
Antwerp was ready to open it's
most important harbor to tho
British fleet and landing corps,
Germany was reluctantly COM
PEELED to refuse compliance with
the British conditions"

The humble cartman estimated the
probable cost of the monument at
100000, although the design. as after
wards adopted, called for an expendi
ture of about $1.000,0O0. Lyon, how.

for raising the money, and had the
citizens responded there would prob
ably now be towering shaft as a
memorial to Washington within a

"A correct census of the city," ex
planned Lyon, would probably exhibit
a population OF 100000 souls, one
fourth, at least, of whom would be
able to contribute something towards
such a noble work. Suppose that
100000 Of our population should agree

In Havana Harbor Is years, ago was
paid Monday by the Navy and high
officers of the nation at Arlington

mounds over the sleeping warriors
were decorated with floral tributes and

Impressive exercises were held in
doors at Fort Meyer, the blizzard
making it impossible to carry out the
full program arranged for the occa-
sion at the cemetery. Hundreds had
braved the freezing blasts, however,
to participate in the ceremonies at
the graves.
President Wilson, confined by his
physicians orders to the White House,
sent beautiful floral tribute. Presi-
dent Menocal, of Cuba, cabled an ex-
preston Of the reverence of his gov

His message expressed deep regret
that he could not participate in the
services, and added, "but my mind
will be with you all, for have to
mourn with you for the brave officers
and sailors of the Maine"
Orations were delivered at Fort
Meyer by Commander-in-chief Wash

of Pennsylvania; the Rev. Eugene A.
Hannah, representing the Rev. Mr..
Chadwick. who was chaplain of the
Maine, and by John McElroy, of the

Secretary Daniels, of the Navy De-

number of patriotic organizations were
present. John McEIroy suggested
that the memorial was typical of Fall

full measure of devotion to the coun-

Rear Admiral Sigsbee, in command
of the Maine when the vessel went to

from New York letter of regret that
he could not be here. Former Presi-
dent Taft, who was invited to be one
of the speakers of the day, also sent
regrets.

GREAT MONUMENT
MERELY PROJECTED
Citizens of New York Planned to
Honor Washington, But the
Idea Was Abandoned.

e IXTY-five years ago the chief topic
y OF interest among the citizens Of
New York, apart from the Mexican
war which was then in progress. was
the great Washington monument
which it was proposed to erect in
Hamilton Square, which covered the
blocks now contained between Third
and Fifth avenues, Sixty-sixth and
Eixty-ninth streets.
That was six years before Central
Park had been outlined. Hamilton
Square was a portion of the old com
mon lands of the city, and In the
new city map prepared in 1907 by the
street commissioners who laid out the
city on its present rectangular lines,
this plot was retained intact as a
park. It appears. on the maps of the
city up to, 1869, at which time it was
wiped out of existence, the western
part being sold and the eastern, in
