the circumstances in connection with the sinking of the Arabic had been cleared up would it be possible to say whether the conTnander Of one of our submarines went be5ond his i'm structions,'' in which case Germany would give complete satisfaction to the United States.
 Furthermore, in the course Of che conversation, the Chancellor twice again referred>to the Instructions giv- en to submarine cofnmanders. He did not specify in detail the nature of these instructions. but it may be said that they are designed to prevent to provide that opportunity for escape for American hon-combatAnts upon torpedoed ships which the United States desires.
 Having given these instructions. Germany asked suspension Of juds@ ment on the Arabic case until the faets were ascertained, being confident it would be shown that the sinking of the vessel was not an unprovo<ed ate tack without warning by a German submarine, but was attributable eiGh- CT to a mine explosion or some action of the vessel itself.
 Should it develop, however, that e submarine acted contrary to instruc- ttons. ample reparation will be of fered.
 Germany is still unable to under stand why Americans in these trou- bIed times travel on belligerent ships instead of taking American or other neutral steamers. but since they in some instances. insist upon taking passage on vessels belonging to bel- Iigerents Germany will do it's utmost to provide for their safety.
 It is not permissible to quote re- marks made by the Chancellor in the course of the conversation. other than the formal statement which he made It may be said, however that pr. Von Bethmann-HoIweg showed genuine in- terest in the state Of feeling in the United States concerning the sinking of the Arabic, and expressed the hope that the American people would not form an opinion on the basis of cone f1icting statements giving only one side of the story. He spoke with empha- sis of Germanys desire to maintain the friendship of America.
 The Chancellor appeared to be in good health and spirits. and greatly encouraged by the successes achieved by the Germans in the eastern cam paign. The interview necessarily was of short duration as the Chanel Tor was hurrying away for a confer ence with Emperor William at his field headquarters.

FL PASO GUARDED IN FEAR OF PLOT
 BY MEXICAN BANDS

EI Paso, Tex, Aug. 26-E Paso awoke today to find it's streets. bord- ering Sthe Rio Grande guarded by United States soldiers as a result of the report circulated last night that an uprising of Huerta, Carranza and Orozco factionists had been planned for the early hours of the morning. Mexicans were not permitted to cross the international bridge from II o'clock last nigh until early today, and no American was allowed to cross to Juarez. Extra guards were ordered out at Fort Bliss, where General Huerta is being held. Companies of infantry were posted at the interna- tional bridge, the railroad viaduct and all strategic points.
 The rumor of the alleged plot was brought to the department of. justice representatives who notified General John J. Pershing, commanding the Eighth brigade at Fort Bliss. A con ference of county and city representa- tives of the department of justice, the Federal marshal and General Pershing followed. After the conference Gen eraI Pershing announced he was pre- pared to meet any uprising that might start.
 During the night soldiers were hur- ried to their camps by the provost marshal and officers rushed to their posts in automobiles. The, police halt ed and searched Mexicans in the downtown streets. There was no ex- citement in the city, although an un- dercurrent of uneasiness was appar- ent.
 Occasional shots were fired by the policemen in halting Mexicans found in the lower quarters of the city in order to search them.

Villas com mander at Icamole, near Monterey, had been wounded and lost part of his staff in a recent battle with Car ranza troops, that his forces had with drawn from the town and were await ing endorsements from Torreon.
