Discuss ing the matter this afternoon, Seere- tary Lansing stated that one of four ways of dealing with Huerta if the government should choose so to do is to withdraw the charge of violating the neutrality of the United States there by leaving the way open for Governor Ferguson to turn Huerta oyer to the Mexican authorities through the Villa commander at Jaurez.

LONDON, July 2.-Admiralty reports given out this afternoon disclose that the Germans have been unusually ac- tive during the past twenty-four hours and have destroyed no less than five large merchant vessels at various points in the waters adjacent to the British coasts. The German raid this time has been far more destructive than any previous foray and several large vessels are included in the list of those attacked.
 The largest of the vessels, the Cau- casian. of four thousand tons burden, was attacked, sunk only few hours after she had left the Thames bound from London to New Orleans. The ln- glemoor, also a four thousand ton ship, met her fate only few hours after she had left port and was not well out of the English channel. The remainder of the list were all vessels of the first class and the majority were loaded with valuable cargoes. Beyond one or two casualties there were ms lives lost.
