SALOON DESTROYED BY BOMB.
Arrests Expected i'm Connection With
Blowing up of Red Lion" i'm Tam
pa.

Tampa, Fla, Sept. 11.-Autborities
tonight expected to make arrests be-
fore morning of persons supposed to
have been guilty of the blowing up of
the Red Lion saloon at Seventh
avenue and Twentieth street at 3
o'clock this morning, when a. dozen
other buildings were practically
wrecked and property loss exceed
ing $4,000 was sustained.
Fire Chief Matthews stated tonight
that the remains of a clock arrange
ment, evidently for setting off
charge of explosives, had been found
in the ruins of the saloon.
The explosion this morning follows
series of explosions extending over
several months, according to a state
ment by the fire chief. In most in
stances gasoline has been used and i'm
three recent instances fire plugs in
the vicinity of the fire were found to
have been stopped up. All of these ex-
plosions occurred in the Ybor City sec
ton of the city.
The Red Lion saloon was owned bv
Joseph Falsone. Garnishment pro-
ceedings against insurance policies
amounting to $4,000, on the Red
Lion were instituted this afternoon
by the Evansville Brewing association
which set forth it is a creditor of
Falsone to an account in excess of
the amount of the policies.

COMMISSION SEEKS LOAN.
WILL MEET AMERICAN BUSINESS
MEN.
Possible They Will Lend Endeavors
to Reforming Entire Foreign Ex-
change Situation.

New York, Sept. 1O.-The Anglo
french commission seeking a way 10
meet the huge bills Of Great Britain.
and France for American munitions
and other supplies reached New York
today, was welcomed by ]. P. Morgan
and met approximately 100 financial
leaders late today at reception in
Mr.. Morgan's library. Tonight the
commissioners were dinner guests Of
a party of financiers.
Actual negotiations as to the credit
they hope to establish will not be be-
gun for several days. During this
period the commission expects to meet
many other bankers and exporters
and to become familiar with the sit
uation.
Although the commission comes as
the representatives of the British and
French governments and importers of
Doth nations, it seemed likely tonight
that it might, before it's departure, be
called on to adjust the whole foreign
exchange situation for all the entente
powers.
TO the previous report that the del
egation probably would act for Russia
there was added today the intimation
on good authority that Italy might
within few days find it expedient to
request the commission to act for her
as we'll.
Italian money is deprecated in this
market to a degree unequalled by any
other.
Great Britain and France, it was
said tonight, have contemplated the
possibility of having to go to South
America for meats and grain to an
extent much greater than at present
and of returning to Egypt for cotton.
Munitions of war they must buy in
the United States because there is no
other market; but these, it was said,
form only a minor fraction of the total
exports.
From an authoritative source it was
learned tonight that not only had
Great Britain and France contemplate
ed heavy reduction in their pur-
chases herein every line except ne
cessities which they can not buy
elsewhere-but that it had been de-
cided that such a reduction would be
the only alternative left should the
commission fail of it's mission to the
United States. -
Five hundred million dollars is the
smallest sum the commission hopes to
borrow. They would hmuhc m
borrow. They would much rather
have round billion.

quarters of the embassy here tonight,

Henry de Hedri said he believed the
ambassador was in New York. He
thought DR.. Dumba might return TO
Lenox but added that he had no def

movements.
Officials of the embassy expressed
doubt as to the accuracy of the Wash

call.

mated with the ambassador, who was
said to be taking no action toward
putting his ideas into effect pending
further instructions from Vienna. The
choice of Archibald as a dispatch
bearer both for the German and Aus
tro-Hungarian governments, it was
declared, was without orders or sane
ton from abroad.
While everywhere 1t was admitted
tonight that the situation created by
the American note might prove a Sc
rious one in its effect on the relations
between the two governments, it was
pointed out that the language Of the
indicated clearly a
desire to have DR.. Dumba recalled
without making a diplomatic issue OF
his case. No mention was made OF
the order given the ambassador to
proclaim his governments decree to
Austro-H Hungarian working in this
country. An ambassador Is the
personal representative Of the coun.

GERMAN NOTE ON ARABIC,
EXPRESSES REGRET FOR LOSS
OF LIFE AND SUGGESTS SET
ELEMENT BY ARBITRA-
TION.
Submarines Commander Ordered not
to Sink Vessels Without Warning
Save I'm Self Defense, Therefore Con-
sidered act Was Committed for
This Reason.

Berlin, Sept. 9 (via London) Ger
manys note to the United States bear
ing on the sinking Of the White Star
Line steamer Arabic on August 10,
which was communicated to the
American Ambassador James w.
Gerard, for transmission to Washing
ton. is in the form of a memorandum
under date of September z, the text
of which follows:
"On August 10 a German submarine
stopped the English steamer Dunsley
sale and was on the point of sinking
the prize by gunfire after the crew
had left the vessel. At this moment
the commander saw a large steamer
making directly toward him. This
.eamer, as developed later, was the
Arabic. She was recognized as an
enemy vessel, as she did not fly any
flag and bore no neutral markings.
when she approached she altered
her original course, but then again
pointed directly toward submarine.
From this the commander became
convinced that the steamer had the
intention of attacking and ramming
him
I'm order to anticipate this attack
he gave orders 70 rthe submarine to
dive and fired q torpedo at the steam
err. After firing he convinced himself
that the people on board were being
rescued in 15 boats.
According to his instruction the
commander was not allowed to at
tack the Arabic without warning and
without saving the lives unless the
ship attempted to escape or offered re-
sistance. He was forced, however, to
conclude from the attendant circum-
stances that the Arabic planned a
violent attack on the submarine. ''''
'This conclusion is all the more
obvious as he had been fired upon at
a great distance in the Irish sea on
August 14-that is, afewdaysb OA
August 14-that is, few days before
by a large passenger steamer ap-
parently belonging to the British Roy
al Mail Steam Packet company which
he had neither attacked nor stopped.
"The German government MOST
deeply regrets that lives were lost
through the action of the commander.
1t particularly expresses this regret
to the government of the United States
on account Of the death of American
citizens.
THE German government Is unable
however, to acknowledge any obliga-
tion to grant indemnity in the mat
ter. even If the commander should
have been mistaken as to the aggres-
sive intentions of the Arabic.
IF it should prove to be the case
that it is impossible for the German
and American governments to reach
a harmonious opinion on this point
the German government would be pre-
pared to submit the differences of opin-
ion. as being question Of internation-
al law. to The Hague tribunal for ar
bitration, pursuant to article SO Of
The Hague convention for. the pacirc
settlement Of international disputes.
"In so doing it assumes that as a
matter of course the arbiters' decision
shall not be admitted to have the i'm
portance Of general decision on the
permissibility or the converse under
international law of German sub
marine warfare"
