washington, oct 6.-Secretary
Lansing announced to-day that Ger
many had disavowed the sinking of
the Arabic, and was s"epared to pay
an indemnity for the American lives
lost.
Letter from BeinStOrtf.
Secretary Lansing gave out the
text Of a letter received from Am
bassador Won Bernstorff, which was
as follows:
''My Dear Mr.. Secretary: Prompt
ed by the desire to reach a satsfac-
tory agreement with regard to the
Arabic incident, my government has
given me the following instructions:
THE orders issued by his ajesty,
the Emperor, to the commanders of
The German Submarnes-of which
notified you on previous occasion
have been made so stringent that the
recurrence of incidents similar to the
Arabic case is considered out of the
question.
According to the report Of Com
mander Schneider. Of the submarine
which sank the Arabic, and his affida-
Wits, as well as those of his men,
Commander Schneider was convinced
that the Arabic intended to ram the
submarine.
"On the other hand, the imperial
government dCes not doubt the good
faith of the affidavit Of the British
officers Of the Arabic, according to
which the Arabic did not intend to
ram the submarine. The attack of
the submarine was undertaken
AGAINST the instructions issued to the
commander. The imperial govern
ment regrets and disavows this act
and has notified Commander Schnei-
der accordingly.
"Under these circumstances my
government is prepared to pay an in
demnity for American lives, which to
its deep regret, have been lost on the
ate with you about the amount of
this indemnity.
81 remain, my dear Mr.. Lansing,
Yours very sincerely,
.. Won Bernstorff."
No Comment by Lansing.
Secretary Lansing said he would
make no comment on the ambassa-
doris letter, as he considered the text
spoke for itself.
Inasmuch as the ambassador is act
ing with the fullest powers, his rep
the crisis is considered passed and
nothing remains to the Arabic case
, except the fixing Of indemnity, which
will not be done by arbitration, as
Germany first proposed, but by dip
,omatic negotiations between the two
governments. These negotiations
probably will begin orally.
In the absence Of official comment
the ambassadors letter was generally
regarded as signalizing a completely
successful outcome for the principles
tended in the submarine warfare
controversy which at least twice
brought Germany and the United
States to the brink Of a break in dip
lomatic relations.
Inasmuch as the Washington gov
ernment has contended that the Ara
bic case must first be settled before
it could consider the question Of in
IDENTITIES growing out of the sinking
OF the Lusitania, for which Germany
has offered to pay, it is believed that
feature of the controversy will next
be taken up.
