SECRETARY STILL
Is NOT Satisfied
POSTOFFICE SITE PROD L E M
PROVES A HARD NUT FOR
WASHINGTON TO CRACK.

Especial to The Richmond virg<Sian.)
Washington. March Sit was ru-
mored here today that Secretary Nc
Adoo was SO much dissatisfied with
the two reports which have been made
to him regarding the question OF where
additions to the Richmond postoffice
building shall be placed, that he had
decided to reject them both and to
look further into the matter before
taking final action. but nothing OF an
affirmative kind could be had concern
ing the situation either one way or
the other.
The only information available at
the Treasury Department was to the
effect that the report of Assistant Sec
rotary Newton and the joint report OF
himself and representatives, Of the
Treasury Department we're still under
consideration by MIR. NJ 'Aioo ard that
they would be reached IN due season.
1t Is known from reliable sources
that Mr.. McAdoo would have been
much pleased had the original bill that
passed Congress last summer made
provision for using the S456.G00 either
for the purchase of the site at Flew
enth and Main Streets or elsewhere rs
might appear best. but the latter pro-
vision not having been placed In the
bill, there was nothing to do but take
the money and buy the site above de-
scribed or get another appropriation
to be used for another site.
The matter may be settled salts
factorily soon, but just now 1t ap-
pears to be deadlocked.

PLICATIONs OVER SHIPS
LOSS.

Washington, March THE charge
made In an Official statement issued
by the German embassy. that the
American ship Evelyn was sunk by
mine through following the direc-
lions of British man of war. WAS
officially repudiated at the State De-
partment in message from Ambas-
sador Gerard at Berlin.
The Ambassador reported that
Naval Attache Gherardi. Of the EN-
bassy. had brought to Berlin from
Bremen the statements made by the
captains OF the Evelyn and the Carib,
the other American ship sunk by
striking a mine, and that these state
ments declared that the vessels had
not been the victims Of false direc-
lions given by the British. The cap
tains OF both vessels declared that
they had simply run into the mine
fields and had encountered mines.
The German foreign office has In
formed the am bassador that FIVE men
OF the Evelyn have already sailed
for home by the steamship MantanzaA
an dthirty-one will sail soon by tho
Rildia and Lnckenbach from Bremen
for New York All Of the crew OF
the Ca-ib left for Holland Wednes-
day. and also the Caribs officers.
Officials of the State Department are
now satisfied that out Of the cases OF
the Carib and OF the Evelyn will come
nothing more serious then possible
claims for damages on the part. OF
the owners Of the vessels and cargocs.
