The president was informed through friends of the ambassador that Germany wanted to maintain friendly relations with the United States and that the next message from Berlin would be of a favorable char acter Administration officials did not accept Count Won Bernstorff's mess age as a disavowal but were hopeful that it indicated that disavowal will be forthcoming.
 No Comment From Lansing.
 Secretary Lansing would not com ment on the ambassadors telegram. The message, however, was regarded as answering the inquiry which the state department directed to Ambas- sador Gerard, on whether he had re- ceived any report, because it showed that the German government itself was lacking information necessary for an explanation.
 No fresh instructions have been sent to Ambassador Gerard and he has not communicated with the state department within the last twenty four hours.

BernstOl'n in SecIusiOn.

New York, Aug. 25.-Count Won 1 Bcrnstorff, the German ambassador to r the United States remained in scclu- I sion here today with his plans for the , next few days undeveloped. He had received no further adviccs from I'erlin bearing 5on the sinking of the Arabic, he said, and did not know when such ady'fces would be received. It was within the range of possi- nllities, Count BernstOrff said, that he would go to Washington to confer With Secretary Lansing before recelv- ing further word from Berlin, but this would be, if at all, upon Secretary Lansing's invitation. Unless he should receive such a request, Count Won Rcrnstorff said, he expected to remain here temporarily. H. probably would gc to Washington, he asserted, as soon ss he should hear from Berlin again on the Arabic incident.
 Count Bernstorff had nothing to add add to his statement of yesterday making public the text of instructions from Berlin
 ustro-Hungarian Comment.
 Zurich, Switzerland, Aug. 25, via London, Aug. 25. 2:43 D. m.-The silence hitherto observed by the press
 
 sinking of the steamer Arabic, has been broken. The Neue Freie Presse. of Vienna, whose relations with the German embassy are of the closest, de- clares:
 One thing is certain; the Ameri- can government has every ground to consider the grave perils to peace which it's policy involves.
 Reasonable Proposals.
 "It is absurd that the accident of two or three Americans being injured in the war should decide the question of peace between two great nations Germany has made reasonable pro- posals which absolutely would exclude such threatening incidents
 If the Arabic affair should develop further difficulties, the dual monarchy would deeply deplore it. Perhaps the affair, after it is cleared up, may lead America to revise her poHcy.'

GOVERNORS REVIEW
 FLEET OFF BOSTON
Nine Battleships and Large Flotilla
 Of Torpedo Graft

Boston, Aug. 25.-A review of the North Atlantic fleet off Boston light was the principal event arranged for todays entertainment of the present or former executives of nearly thirty states who are here attending the an- nual governors conference. From the deck of the flagship Wyoming the visitors were to watch the evolutions of nine great battleships and a large hotilla of torpedo craft.
 Governors Charles S. Whitman of New York and Winfield S. Hammond Of Minnesota were the speakers at the forenoon business session.
 Italian Festa Postponed.
 It was announced in the morning that owing to the fact that showers threatened, the Italian fiesta, which was to have been held at the Glouces- ter, home of MT. and Mrs. John Hays Hammond this afternoon, had been postponed until the next fair day. The governors had been invited to the fiesta. ~ '- ~- ~'~"
 Gov. Hamno1ld's Address.
 Governor Winfield S. Hammond, of Minnesota, who addressed the govern ors conference on "Efficiency and Economy in State Government said that one reason for the; present lack of efficiency was that, in effect, most states have several governors instead of one. Enumerating the various state commissions and boards which have come into being as part of the executive department of a state administration he said:
 "All this has resulted in giving the state not one governor but a number of governors. one of whom is elected, the others appointed by various boards and commissions. The governor of the state bears about the same relation ship to many of these boards as he bears to the courts, and it is funda- mental that the executive and the judicial departments shall be inde- pendent of each other. If a judge resigns, the governor may appoint his successor but he has, about as much to do with the, policies and the work of these boards as he has with the hearing and determination of cases of law.
