Won JAGOW SAYS
FACTS MUST FIRST
BE ESTABLISHE

Berlin, May 30, via London. May 81 $3.50
German foreign secretary to-day re-
ceivcd the correspondent of the Associated
Press and outlined the reasons which i'm
PEELED the German government to send
an ad interim note to the United states
government, instead of a final and definite
reply to the American representations re-
garding the Lusitana and other ships
that have been torpedoed and Germanys
submarine policy.
"The issues involved" said Herr Won
Jagow, ARE of such Importance. and the
views in regard to the Lusitania show
such variance that the German govern
ment believed it essential to attempt to
establish a common basis Of fact before
entering into a discussion of the issues
involved
I'VE hope and trust that the American
government will take the same view of
the case and let us know in what points
their understanding of the facts differs
from the German viewpoint as set forth
In the note, and in what points they agree
before looking for a direct answer to
their communication.
PANES WAY FOR FARLEY.
The American note, of course, leaves
the way open for a preliminary discus
sion of the stuat ton as suggested in the
German note ! hope that sLch "a common
basis Of fact. once established, may serve
as the groundwork for further converse

The minister was unwilling to give a
l,,,n dot ,,it -,
the suggestion that an arrangement might
be reached on a basis Of an inspection
and certincation by the American govern
ment of passenger ships not carrying war
cargoes, pointing out that he did not
feel entitled to anticipate, as the other
departments Of the government must be
heard from before suggestions could be
definitely taken up or discussed.
DR.. Won Jagow expressed plea sure
at the newspaper announcement that
American line steamers were not car
rying contraband, but he suggested
the advisahility of supplementirIg such
newspaper statements by more definite
authoritative announcements

DISAPPOINTMENT
IN WASHINGTON IS
KEEN AND GENERl

Washington, May 3O.-Germany' reply
sinking of the Lustania with loss of
more than l0d American lives produced a
feeling of profound disappointment here.
Dissatisfaction at the failure of Ger
many to answer the demands of the
United States was reflected in govern
ment circles generally.
President Wilson had retired early
before the text arrived-but from a read
ing of the summary published to-day
and Mr.. Gerard's forecasts he had accur-
ate impression of what it contained
Secretary Bryan would make no COM
ment Other cabinet officers were rot-
cent. but there was little concealment
anywhere that the answer from Berlin
had produced a grave situation in the
relations between the United States and
Germany Just what course of action
the United States will pursue is undetcr-
mined
Press dispatches giving the text Of the
reply came during the evening and were
sent to the White House. The official
| text from Amba ssador Gerard arrived just
before midnight and will be placed before
the President early tomorrow. There
will be cabinet meeting Tuesday.
PROMPT REPLY PREDICTED.
From the previous knowledge of Presi-
dent Wilson's position, it was generally
predicted tonight that a prompt answer
would be sent to Berlin perhaps within
"A or IS hours. This is expected to give
the American governments understanding
OF the facts that the Lusitania was not
armed and carried no concealed guns,
that she sailed from the United States a

all rules Of international laws and
humanity the vessel should have been
visited and searched and her passengers
transferred to place of safety whether
she carried ammunition or not American

Berlin, May 30.--Germany
withhOlds its final decision on
the demands advanced by the
United States government in
connection with the sinking of
the Lusitania until the receipt
of an answer from the United
States to the note which Herr
Won Jagow, the foreign minis
ter, has delivered to Ambassador
Gerard, in reply to the American
note received by the German
government or May Is.
In its reply the German gov
eminent declares that it is not
it's intention to submit neutral
ships in the war zone which are
guilty of no hostile acts to at
tacks by submarine or aeroplane;
that it is investigating the cir
cumstances in connection with
the attacks on the American
steamers Gushing and Gulfiight.
and that in all cases where neu-
trail vessels, through no fault of
their own, have been damaged,
Germany will pay indemnifica-
ton.
CASE OF LUSITANIA.
The reply urges that in the
case of the Lusitania which Ger
many alleges was armed and
carried large stores of war mu-
nitions, it was acting in JUS
titled self-defence in seeking
with all the means of warfare at
it's disposition to protect the
lives of it's soldiers by destroy

clares, failed of their purpose

Chicago, Nov 27.-Chicago today
is the greatest horse market in the

European wars demand for artillery

this return of King Horse to the
throne from which the automobile
spilled him.
Demands from Mexico have added
not a little to the business in horses
here. At first, agents for the Euro
pean governments were secretive
about purchases. Everyone knew
horses were being bought, but few
persons ever saw the agents. 1t was
while the allies agents were buying
incognitc that the record sale of 1901
horses in one week was made, in No

openly. During the week ending No

the same period two years ago 829

is an average.
The horses bring $3.50 to $240 a

horses. Draft horses sell for from
$500 to $500 a head, $500 being paid
