OFFICIALS ARE PESSlMlSTlC
Washington Believes That Chances
Are Against Diplomatic Settle
ment With Germany.

Observation-Disclosures of the state
department were inclined to take q
rather pessimistic view of the Amer
ican-Germanic situation. They ex-
pressed the opinion that the chances
of a diplomatic settlement of the diff
fully seemed to be decreasing.
One official said that there was not
"the slightest ground for optimism"
Another official said the optimism Of
the past two days has been misplaced.
An official whose opinion carries
weight because Of close relation TO
President Wilson. said that if Ger
many should renew her proposition to
the United States to induce England
TO permit foodstuffs to get into Ger
many, the proposition should have to
be rejected. He said on this point:
THE United States would have to
pursued a policy of starving the en-
envy. The federal government Of
course established a blockade for that
purpose. but Great Britain also has
established a blockade. Her blockade
is of a kind which sets a new prece-
dent, but the British claim is that 1t is
justified by the employment of the
submarine in modern warfare"
There is no official confirmation
here of the report that President Will
son is meditating a new note to Great
Britain on her general lines of activ.
tiles in the detention of American
ships and American cargoes. That
the discussion growing out of the va
rious phases of the British order in
council is still going on is evidenced
by the fact that British officials were
discussing with the state department
payments for detained cargoes.

Which Is Established by
Bombardment.

Lisbon.-The success Of the revolu-
tionary forces has been confirmed.
The new government, which will be
presided over by Jacob Chagas. was
proclaimed from the windows Of the
city hall, and the announcement was
received with enthusiastic manifesto
ton.
The military governor Of Lisbon i'm
mediately posted throughout the city

Royalist leader, stayed until recently.
Several Royalists were arrested, In
Guiding Marquis Ficalho.
Order has been restored partly, and
the new government is taking meas
ures to %re-establish normal conditions.
The former minister Of marine was
arrested and taken aboard a warship

warships bombarding the city. News
from Oporto indicates that the dis
turbances there were similar to those

casualties.
All the regiments in Lisbon and In

The last to capitulate were cavalry
regiments which led the military move
ment resulting in the appointment Of

1--WE are going to restore the re
public to the republicans. We demand
a national government and conse
quently it ought to be republican
We shall adopt no party flag, because
we wish all republicans to be united
for the dignity of the country, and the
salvation of the republic.
I'VE do not advise violence or re
prisals. Our energy does not preclude
generosity for the vanQuished. 1t is
the province of the national govern
ment alone to execute measures fol
patriotic defense. All may rely upor
its honor and its patriotism"

Uneasy About YaQuis.

Notwithstanding inquiries at
the state department ove the safety
of Americans in the Yaqui Valley,
Mexico, are being answered with as
surances that the colonists were in
no present danger, officials still are
~apprehensive of another Indian out
break at any time.
Gov. Maytorena, heading the Villa
administration in Sonora, is said 10
have dispatched all the troops he can
spare from nearby garrisons and be-
lieves they can control the situation.
1t is known, however. that the best Of
all troops in the state have Joined
Gen. Villa in his prolonged battle with
the Carranza forces under Obregon
south Of Leon.
The c~olonists are concentrated at
Yaqui Pueblo ready to proceed to the
coast If the troops DO not quell the
disturbances so they can return to
their properties.
Advices from Mexico are meager,
Consul Silliman. at Gen. Carranza's
headquarters in Vera Cruz. reported
the recapture of Panuco near Tampico
by the Villa forces. The situation as
to British oil supply, which has caused
uneasiness, is again made acute by
this development, since the Villa
troops control the producing wells and
the Carranza forces the terminals al
Tuxpam and Tampico.
No advices came from Central Mex
leo where the Villa and Obregor
armies are engaged. Except for con
Trajectory reports given out at Chi
huahua and Vera Cruz nothing ha!
been allowed to reach the outside
world about progress of this conflic
on which probably hangs the eventua
success of one faction or the other.

GERMANY SAID TO BE AWAITING
RESULT OF NEGOTIATIONS
WITH UNITED STATES.
REPLY IS NOT YET READY
Reported Attack on Liner Transyl-
vania on Irish Coast Is Cause Of
Surprise to German EN-
bassy at Washington.

Observation-Disclosures Of the re-
port that the Anchor Line steamer
Pennsylvania had been unsuccessfully
attacked by a German submarine on
Northern Ireland developed unexpect-
eddy the news that the German gov
eminent has ordered submarine war
fare against merchantmen suspended
pending negotiations with the United
States. From a competent source 1t
was learned that instructions have
been issued from Berlin which ought
to prevent a recurrence of the Lusi-
tania disaster. 1t is understood that
the German embassy is aware OF the
suspension of the submarine campalg s
and that its members were greatly
surprised to hear of the reported mar
row escape of the Pennsylvania.
The officials of the embassy know
of course. that if negotiations are to
be begun with reference to the rep
aration which Germany is to make for
the submarine attacks on the Gulf
light, the Falaba and the Lusitania
and with reference to the legality OF
Germany's methods of sea warfare, the
outrages which called forth this coun-
try's protest must stop. That is an
obvious condition precedent to a
friendly settlement.
1t is therefore not surprising that
the German government. in view oil
the difficulties surrounding any at
tempt on its part to pacify neutral sen
timent, should have taken steps to
avoid any further friction with neutral
nations. II the Pennsylvania was at
tackled, 1t is assumed by those who
ought to know what the German gov
ernment's intentions are, that the
suspension notice from Berlin simply
failed to reach one or more of the sub
marines operating off the north coast
of Ireland and the west coast of Scot
land. 1t is felt here that a temporary
suspension of the submarine campaign
may easily lead to an absolute sus-
pension of It after Germany coolly bal
ances the advantages and disadvan-
tages of a complete change in her
naval policy.

TELLS HOUSE OF LORDS THAT
800, 900 MORE ARE NEEDED FOR
BATTLE LINE IN WEST.
ADVOCATES USEING GASES
Germans Necessary to Offset
Advantages They Gain by
Deadly Fumes.

London.-Secretary for War Kitche-
ner stated In the house Of lords May
Is that the British and French gov
ernments felt that the allied troops
must be adequately protected against
poisonous gases by the employment
Of similar methods. These would re-
move the ormou and unjustifiable
advantage which must otherwise ex-
list, he said.
Lord Kitchener told the house Of
lords that he wanted 100000 more re-
cruits.
He expressed confidence that in the
very near future the country would be
In a satisfactory position with regard
to the supply of ammunition.
The news from the Gallipoli PENN
sula-in other words. the Dardanelles
thoroughly satisfactory, Earl
Kitchener declared.
Referring to the offensive move
ment now in progress in La Basse aud
the Arras region, Earl Kitchener said:
I'VE have all followed with adIrira-
tlOH lut lOI uloN ChlchtS VI Jul
brave allies in an offensive operation
which has been marked with complete
success and which is still proceeding
with every promise and indication of
being wholly satisfactory. The at
tacks delivered by our forces at first
were not attended with the same i'm
mediate success, owing to the elab-
crate arrangements made by the Ger
mans to defend their lines after their
experience at Neuve Chapelle. but or
the night of May 10, by a renewed eff
fort, the British forces drove back the
enemy on a front of approximately
two miles for a considerable distance,
and captured from 400 to 500 prisoners.
This action also is proceeding, and we
hope that, in conformity with the
French operations. 1t will achieve i'm
portant results.
These offensive operations against
the trenches of the enemy have de-
manded expenditures Of am.
munition, both of our usual type and
also of the highest explosive pattern
which we are now making. am con
fdent that in the very near future we
shall be in a satisfactory position in
regard to the supply of these shells
