ing all the details in its possession The statement said definitely that tba Arabic was sunk by a German sub- marine without warning and without any attempt on the part of the steamer to attack the under water craft or to escape. The announce ment also declared the Arabic was unarmed and was proceeding to a neutral port and therefore carrying no contra band. This is considered a summing up of the British official view of the essential facts and as showing the culpability of the Ger man submarine in sinking the snip.
 Dunsley Crew Testify.
 The most important direct testl- mony came however, from members of the crew of the steamer Dunsley, who gave circumstantial account or seeing the German submarine while she shelled the Dunsley. They oe- clared that during her maneuverlng astern of the Dunsley the submerslole came so clearly into view that It was possible to note she showed no num- Der or distinguishing mark. Later, they declared, the submarine sub- merged and rounded the Dunsley's stern SuO"lHS OlIiy Her pOIlSCopc'
 These statements are considered to ill the gap in the testimony given by Captain Finch, the passengers and crew of the Ara bic who did not see the submarine because she was astern of the Dunsley. Those aboard the Arabic have declared they saw the torpedo speeding towards the ship, and the Dunsley's survivors now assert the torpedo was fired from German submarine which | they saw maneuvering behind them. All Affidavits CabIed.
 I All the affidavits made by the | American passengers on the Arabic now have been cabled to the state l department. These statements give l every detail available from American sources. They relate chiefly to indi- ] vidual experiences but all agree that
 no warning was given. The approach | ing torpedo was seen, but not the | submarine.

4-COURSE DINNER TO GERMAN CAPTIVES
Prisoners in France Protest Sleep.
 ing Twelve in Dormitory

Paris Aug. 24.-BarOn D EStOur- nelles de Constant, who has been visiting the camps of German prison CTS at Belle Isle, in writing for the Temps a description of what he saw, declares every officer has an orderly who blacks his boots, brushes his clothes and does his washing or has it cone. All the officers wear spotless linen and are freshly shaved. They observe among themselves a most correct discipline.
 Baron D'Estournelles in talking with soldiers who complained of their treatment remarked that they looked well.
 That is notwithstanding the con- ditions," one of them replied, "it is to our good health and our German tenn Ierament that we owe being as we are'
 Open Air Exercises.
 Another added: And our disci- pline. I rise every morning at o'clock and take my exercises in the open air.
 But after all, what is it you lack?" asked Baron D'EstoUrnelles, and I'll ' try and get it for you" All the men in the group exclaimed: Baths. gardens, liberty"
 They were reminded that they had two sea baths a week and on many occasions were permitted to wander about quite freely, but that guards were necessary.

 The reply was a chorus of Certain
 The baron describes the kitchens where giant Pomeranians and Vest phalians aid diminutive French chefs who conduct themselves like artists among their pupils. Every one seems to relish this Franco-German cooking The food provided is of good quality and there is considerable variety. Dinner consists usually of four courses.
 Visitors Are Welcome Visitors, the baron asserts, are well come at the camps. Representatives of the United States em bassy call frequently and other visitors include Red Cross agents, clergymen who are citizens of neutral countries and rep resentatives of various charities The prisoners have magazines and ! wicker chairs are provided for their i use when they sit on the beach. | There also is an improvised gymna- i sium and music instruments. The prisoners complain, however, l that they are compelled to sleep l twelve in a dormitory.

 No Free Market of Cold.

London has ceased to be a free mar ket for gold. The sterling rate in New York is so low that any one may figure the expense of shipping gold in a most liberal manner. The English bankine 9 community apparently is prepared in this instance to recognize the German submarine peril, for the recognition helps them to retain thier gold. But at Mr. Davis gold export point from London to New York, i. e., 4.79H. there is about 3h cents per pound profit in exporting it.
 Will MT. Davis explain why, with exchange on London, around 4.76. no gold is being shipped to New York?
 There is only one explanation. The much boasted of free English gold market is completely out of gear!
 In contrast to England's attempt to hoard gold the writer says: New York at present possesses an abundant sun- ply of money, and large aggregate of idle funds are eagerly looking for em- ployment.' He says that ordinarily American bankers would have invested in London acceptances, and deposited with London bankers, but nothing of the kind has happened. Answerina the question why this is the case, he says that the American banker has only one reason, and it is found in the depreciation in the investment value of the sterling bill, the depreciation in the pound sterling and English credit.
 "A tremendous fall has occurred" he adds. "The structure which has been the life work of bankers and merchants, assisted by the at the, time prevailing British policy of keeping aloof of entangling alliances with con- tinental powers, has utterly been crushed to pieces, and England's credit will fall still lower. The reconstruc- tion will be hard, for England's econ- Omic fabric and the construction of London't money market are the result of her ante-bellum advantages as worlds banker.
 "England's depleted resources will not give her the strength to success fully counteract the efforts of other centres, in particular the efforts of New York to gain financial supremacy The dollar will surely defeat the pound sterling in the entire Western Hemis- phere and perhaps in the Far East, too."

Americans Saw Torpedo.

London, Aug 24.-Oficial and un- official statements were made yester- day bearing upon the precise status of the steamer Arabic at the time she was sunk, the purpose being to show definitely that she was an unoffending merchant ship proceeding on her course and that without question she was struck by a torpedo fired by a German submarine. The latter point became increasingly important owing to cable reports from the United States stating that some Berlin officials maintained that since there was no proof any one aboard the Arabic saw the submarine the sinking might have been the result of strik- ing a mine.
 The foreign office issued a brief statement summing up the facts within it's knowledge without disclos-

It is quite true that we never saw any submarine Or ony periscope; but l saw the white streak made by the passage of the torpedo through the water, white streak that commenced With air bubbles in the water 300 yards from us at the point where it was discharged ot us.
 No Mistaking Cause.
 There was no mistaking the cause of that white streak, which ended In a torpedo entering the ship and caus- ing the explosion which sank the vessel. I was not alone in seeing it. The chief officer the second officer and many passengers saw it. NO one can doubt for moment that it was deliberately fired at the Arabic. Those aboard the submarine evidently saw US and got into position ready to release their torpedo.
 'The fact that nobody on the Arabic saw submarine may be easily ex- plained. Those in command of it could submerge and leave only a small portion of the periscope show ing above the water When the missile was sent at us under such circumstances, it would be impossible for those on the Arabic to see either tltc submarine or the periscOpe.
 Suggestion Perfectly Absurd
 'The suggestion that a mine caused the explosion is perfectly absurd. I repeat that there was only one thing that sent the Arabic to the bottom. That was a torpedo
 Captain Finch was seen at his home in Liverpool, where he had just arrived from Queenstown for a con- ference with the officials of the White Star Line Before making his state ment, he laughed heartily at the claim of some of the German officials that British mine had sunk the Ara bic.

IMPRESSIVE IS FUNERAL

QUEENSTOWN, May 1O-Ninety- two passengers of the Lusitania were buried this afternoon with services that have had no parallel in history. Under a sky in which there was not single cloud and to strains of hymns played by British soldiers. they were laid to rest two miles behind Queens town, in a cemetery bursting with spring greenery, tucked between hills flaming with gorse.
 Queenstown never sensed the full horror of the Lusitania disaster until today. but when the funeral started the realization came that each cheap coffin held body and that in the Atlantic, less than 20 miles away there were over a thousand more, all victims of German submarine.

LONDON, May To- In France and Belgium are intimations of a strong movement by the allies against the Germans with heavy reinforce ments. The French report the cap ture of many prisoners and guns the last two days. German headquarters admit that in the neighborhood of Carency the allies succeeded in oc- cupying the foremost German trenches. Attacks and counter-at- tacks' have continued and losses on both sides are heavy. In the Car pathians the Germans are reported as making preparations for a further movement against the Russians.

LUS| I ANA STRUCK BY ONLY ONE
 TORPEDO
Such Is EUidence
 Of Captain Turner
DEADLY MISSILE FOUND VITAL SPOT, HOWEVER, AND SENT SHIP AND
 1000 SOULS TO BOTTOM.
By Associated Press.

LONDON, May 10.-The Cunard liner Lusitania, sunk last week off Old Head, Kinsale, by a submarine was struck by only one torpedo, ac- co-ding to the testimony of Captain Turner of the steamer given at the coroner's inquest at Kinsale. But the deadly missile found vital spot and sent the liner to the bottom in less than 20 minutes carrying with her more than a thousand persons. The evidence and testimony presented by Turner led the jury to bring in yer dict of wholesale murder" against the German emperor, his government and the officers of the submarine di- rectly responsible fo- the sinking of the ship. It was also disclosed by Turner and by Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty in a statement to the house of commons that the captain received wireless ad- vices from the admiralty in regard to the. presence of submarines off the liners course
 Turne. in his testimony said he followed the advice to the best of his ability. The character of advice ten dered by the admiralty was not di- vulged and will not be until Lord Mersey opens the inquiry into the loss of the ship. Meanwhile the cause of the heavy loss of life and absence of a naval escort and the suddenness with which the ship sank afford room for much speculation.
 Anti-German riots have been occur ring in many sections of England, while the more staid business men decided to exclude all men of enemy countries, even naturalized Germans, from the exchanges of the country. There has been boom in recruiting and recruiting has also been helped by the German air raid early this morning. A hundred and twenty bombs were dropped at South End and vicinity but there were only two deaths. The material damage was S50,OO0.

SENATE READY FOR SECOND
 SESSION
HAS LAND BILL FORMU- LATED FOR INTRODUC- TON WHEN GOVERN OR'S CALL IS ISSUED.

PHOENIX, May 10. - While the
 house has been quarreling. pickering and acting like kindergarten with the teacher absent, the senate, through its committee has been delving deep into the musty tonnes of state, and the result is now in concrete form in the shape of a general appropriation bill providing for every department of state and for every necessary furth- erance of the public's business during the coming biennium at cost to the taxpayers of nearly two and a half million dollars less than the sum asked for by the administration.
 This bill is complete and ready for consideration. It is simply be- ing withheld to give the house chance to pass its measure and get it before the senate If this is not done in reasonable time, then work upon the senate bill itself will be com menced.
 In addition to the revenue measure, the senate committee on appropri- ations headed by Senator Stapley has prepared and had printed the most complete tabulation, segregation and compilation of state requirements yet promulgated.
 It represents large amount of labor, but every department stands by itself, separate columns being de voted to the sum appropriated for such department Gtemized) for the biennium ending June 30, 1915; the sum asked for in the administration bill this year, and the sum actually 1 recommended by the senate for the years ending June 30, 1917.
 And then, in addition to these ac complishments the senate committee on public lands composed of Senator. Riggs, chairman, and Senators Webb. | Claridge. Garvin, Colter, Munds and | IAdl ho, lldS DONI NOl all anu day completed land code which will l be in the hands of the members for l their consideration and ready for in as soon as the governor issued his call for the second special | session which is expected any day.
 This bill takes care of the school land question and provides for single land commissioner. It is still ill the hands of the committee, but will be ready by the time the senate meets tomorrow
 The lower house was in session but a few minutes. Chairman Powers, of the appropriation committee an nounced that the bill was complete with the exception of the road fund, the interest funds, and a few other smaller items.
