Washington, May 2S.-The passing of two weeks with no reply from the German government 10 the note from the United States concerning viola tions of American rights in the war zone has caused widespread specula- ton in official and diplomatic cir cles.
 Two circumstances contributed to the development today of further ten sion in an already delicate situation the insistence of reports from Lon don that the American steamer Ne braskan was torpedoed instead of mines, and published intimations that Germany would send series of notes in answer to the American communi- cation, delaying discussion of the mer- it's of the question until there was an agreement on facts.
 While high officials scrupulously avoided comment, it was evident they were loath to believe the German government had underestmated the intense feeling of the American peo pie on the Lusitania disaster with the loss of more than 100 American lives or would seek to delay the reparatdon demanded by the United States.
 Count Von Bernstorff the German ambassador, confirmed the London re ports tnat he had sent wireless mes sages to the German foreign office declaring the American press was be coming impatient over the delay ir sending the German reply and that the Nebraskan inciden thad aggrayat ed the situation. It was explained that the ambassador was not express ing his own opinion in these messages but merely keeping his government informed as usual.
 Berlin press dispatches saying Am bassador Gerard had probably seni in advance the main points to bC contained in the German reply were shown to Secretary Bryan tonight He said that while the ambassador hac sent his own conjectures, nothing tha could be called an outline had been received.
 The general trend of comment ir official and diplomatic quarters was that if the preliminary note from Ger many proposed an agreement on the

facts of various cases mentioned in the American note, there would fol low immediately a counter proposal from President Wilson for a suspen- sion of submarine warfare which endangers American lives or vessels while the diplomatic discussion was in progress.
 The German government, according to published reports, intends to in- quire first whether the Lusitania was armed or unarmed and whether she carried munitions of war The posi- ton of the United States government is that the Iusitania sailed unarmed from an American port and did not resist capture Whether the vessel carried contrahand of any character did not, in the American view, de prive her of the right to be given an opportunity to transfer her crew and passengers to a place of safety before being destroyed.
 Officials pointed out, moreover, that the British liner by careful invesu- gation before sailing, was found to be III armed and that there was no
 denial here of the fact that she car ried munitions of war. This was
 shown on her manifest published the day of sailing. Collector Malone Of the port of New York, who was in Washington tonight. for conference with Uresident Wilson on what were
 described as personal matters, eX plained that his assistants had made
 thorough investigation of the Lusi- tania and that she had no guns aboard either mounted or dismounted. Officials still were nor-committaI today about the explosion aboard the American steamer Nebraskan. Am
 bassador Page cabled that he expect ed affidavits from the captain and crew of the Nebraskan, but did not reveal their nature. As yet the Wash ington government does not know
 positively whether a mine or torpedo caused the explosion.
 The reports of the naval attaches of the American embassy at London are expected to throw light on tho
 subject from a technical viewpoint Until such information is in hand | diplomatic action will be deferred.
