Washington, April "Details OF the
attack on the German cruiser Dres-
den in Chilean waters by a British
squadron were officially received by
the United States government today
with information of the character OF
the representations recently made by
Chile to the British government over
the incident.
1t was revealed for the first time
here that the Dresden was about to
be interned by the Chilean govern
ment for over-staying the limit OF -
hours granted to her when the Brit
ish cruisers Glasgow, and Kent ami
the auxiliary cruiser Drama opened
fire. According to the official report
of the Chilean government, when the
Dresden put into Cumberland bay
within 500 yards from shore and ask
ed for eight days in which to repair
her engines, the maritime governor OF
Juan FernadeZ island did not agree,
but gave the vessels a certain time
limit within which to depart. After
the expiration Of that time, he com
municated to the Chilean government
that with its approval he would I'M

German THREAT
OF REPRISALS

ARE IVISTREATED

London April ., $50 P. MA Ger
an protest and threat Of reprisals on
account of the treatment by Grea.
Britain of the prisoners taken on
board German submarines was made
public here today. This protest was
transmitted by Germany to Great
Britain through the United States.
What Determinations
The German government In its pro-
test asked whether Great Britain in
tended to accord less favorable trea. :
ment to captured German submarine
crews than to other war prisoners,
and if So what form this discrimina-'
ton would take. Germany stated that
if Great Britain adopted such a course
a British army officer held prisoner
in Germany would receive correspond
ingly harsher treatment for each
member of a. captured German sub
marine crew.
Sir Edwards Reply
The foreign secretary, Sir Edward
Grey, in his reply said the prisoners
from German submarines had been
placed in naval detention barracks
and segregated from other war pris-
oners. but were being treated hu-
namely and permitted to take exer-
cises. Furthermore the foreign sec
rotary said German prisoners in Eng
land are better fed and clothed than
are British prisoners Of equal rank IN
Germany, and the Germans are no.
cubiacta1 tn forced labor
AS the submarine crews have en-
gagged in sinking neutral merchant
ships and unarmed British vessels, Sir
Edward said, they could not be re-
garded as honorable opponents. but
were offenders against the law Of
nations and common humanity"
The foreign secretary said that 1ooo
Officers and men Of the German navy
had been rescued during the war;
but that none from the British navy
had been rescued by the Germans
However. he made no suggestion for
a change.

viouS day.
Rep. Smith, the sponsor for the or
der, came to the defence Of the meas
ure, but he could not stem the flood of
opinion turning against 1t. Rep.
Thombs Of Lincoln declared that shame
should attend the action of the House
if it voted thousands to investigate
for widows and orphans who had mon
ey and would only fare worse for the
investigation, when the House had
lately refused $4,000 for widows and
orphans-in the mothers pension bill
who have nothing. Rep. Comedian Of
Portland took the same view, and call
ed upon the House which had been
forced to refuse many appropriations
for the benefit of humanity not to
grant this investigation order.
Rep. Comedian Of Portland asked to
have the measure clinched in it's COT
fin by refusal to reconsider the
everlasting order" and Rep. Smith
rose in anger to resent the reference
to his child in such sighting terms.
Rep. Comedian assured him that he
had meant no personal slight by his
remarks and the incident apparently
was closed without i'll feeling. How
ever, the House refused to reconsider
and a few minutes later the Senate
agreed to the death of the order.
Appropriation Bill FOR 1915
The 1915 appropriation bill was pass
ed in the House and Senate with the
emergency clause attached. 1t provides
for the appropriation of about s2,000.-
600 for the expenses Of government for
1915. Tie resolve for a new dormitory
at the school for feeble minded was
killed finally and a new resolve passed
to be engrossed which provides that
the Governor and Council may cause
the construction Of the building out
of any unexpended balance that may
be available later on if they see fit.
The report of the finance committee,
connection with resolves in favor of
tuberculosis work at Fairfield,
Bangor and Old Town. and favorable
report adopted on the Hebron sanato-
RUM resolve, appropriating $4,000. 1t
is hoped that through the offices of a
bill passed and now in the hands of
the Governor, the Fairfield and Ban
gor tuberculosis work will be taken
over by the State.
The resolve for restocking the State
library was allowed to die, because it
was stated that before long additional
space must be provided for the libra
ry, probably in new building, and it
would not be well advised to restack
the room now.
