orally Anxious for
Support of Public

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Presi.
dent Wilson was expected today to
submit tentative program to his
cabinet Tuesday in connection with
the Lusitania incident.
1t was thought 1t would be only
tentative, because full reports of the
affair were not looked for 30 soon.
The German foreign once must -

dor Page. at London; Consul Frost,
at Queenstown. and perhaps other
diplomatic officials who have OBJ
tained statements from the disas-
ter's American survivors. II was
thought the better part OF another
week would be occupied In getting
all this information in hand.
Officials pointed out that there
must be not only gathering. but q
weighing OF evidence.
The original German admission
that the Lusitania was torpedoed by
one OF the kaiser's submarines took
II for granted that the ship was
armed. II this was the case, Il was
agreed that Germany would have an
excellent defense. Attention was
called 10 the fact, however, that this
assumption not only was contradict
ed by the British admiralty's ac-
count, but impeached the truthful
ness OF Port Collector Dudley Field
Malone, OF New York.
That Germany would claim the
right 10 assume the vessel carried
guns. whether or not II actually had
them, on the ground that the British
admiralty proposed long ago to arm
British merchant vessels, was also
taken for granted. As an Offset
against this. experts said, such an
exemption would imply a question
ing of the honesty of the American
policy not 10 let armed belligerent
ships leave its ports.
Altogether, Il was deemed certain
that several important questions OF
fact would have TO be settled before
an accounting could be called for by
the United States from the German
government.
One thing regarded as Of the high

explanation OF the attack on the
Lusitania
VIII Germanys attitude be one OF
regret that American lives were lost
a. a result OF the incident. or will
the kaiscr's tone be such as To imply
indifference or to verge on hostility
toward the United States?
On this point officials could ven
turc no guess they said the Ger
man communication alone could an
swcr the question.
As TO his contemplated course. the
president lad made ne statement, SO
far as known. even 10 his closest ad'
ysCrs.
The commonest prediction was
that the administration would ask
Germany for indemnity and assur.
ances that such incidents as that OF
the Lusitania, involving American
lives and property, would not be re-
peated.

Dr. Craven and family arrived from Coffee creek last week and will re- main in Nome for the winter The doctor states that mining in the Kou- garok has been greatly handicapped by the water shortage and many of the miners were unable to work for a considerable portion of the season. As consequence the gold production was rather light and will not greatly exceed $250,0OO The Matthews and Kelliher dredges produced the larger portion of the product, both having had successful seasons. The new Matthews dredge is said to have se- cured the larger share of the gold, and has worked fine through out the season after being finished Dr. Cray en says that the dredge has worked considerable ground.
