 Berlin, via London, June 30 Official circles in Berlin are au- thority for the statement that no intimation respecting the con- tents of the forthcoming German note in reply to the American note bearing on the sinking of the Lusitania has reached Wash ington, because those engaged in drafting the document have themselves not determined it's tenor as eat.
 The Admiralty professes igno- rance of its contents. The For eign Office is said to be working on four different drafts and try ing to select one that will recon cile the viewpoint of Germany and the United States.
 The possibility that satisfac- tory solution to the Lusitania problem might be reached was hinted at by an official of the Foreign Office who recently de. clared:
 President Wilson's not ( showed that the matter could be adjusted. It was in the nature of a bridge across the trouble our reply probably will be anoth- CT girder strengthening that bridge

 Since the overthrow of Gutter rez's government, Robles has not been identified with either Villa or Carranza factions and was chosen by those :anxious to end the war. Robles says that by the middle of July Villa will be on the bor der and will be met by Obregon.
 He intimated that the success of his work had been hastened by fear created at headquarters of Villa and Carranza that the revolution believed about to be begun by Huerta would so con- pllcate the situation that the United States might intervene.

 A dispatch received at the State Department says that Vlr- toriano Huerta and General Pas cual Orozco will be taken to San Antorio to answer additional charges made against them there United States district attorneys tonight gave out the information that these charges have been pre- pared to be filed tomorrow While similar to the charges filed i'll Fl Paso. it was stated that the evidence against the two Headers is much stronger here in San Antonio.
 Officers of the Department of Justice say that the evidence SUD- porting the charge of setting on foot an expedition against Mexi- co is such that they are hopeful of convictions. The government will insist upon not less than a $25, 900 bond for Huerta.
