Steamer Minnehaha Arrives in Port
After Terrific Explosion and Fire

Halifax, N. S.-A bomb placed
aboard, the Atlantic transport liner
Minnehaha, probably while she lay at
her pier in New York, caused the ex-
plosion and fire at sea, in the opinion
of the officers of the steamer, which
put in here for examination Saturday
with the fire still unextinguished.
The explosion occurred in No. 8
hold, and was Of terrific force, shaking
the vessel from stem to stern. Those
of the crew who were forward at the
time were stunned by the shock and
two sailors were hurled into the air.
Flames followed, and for two days and
nights the crew battled to save the
ship.
There is no doubt in the minds of
the officers that Erich Muenter, alias
Frank Holt, or confederates, were re-
sponsible for the explosion, which oc-
Cured at AIS o'clock on the afternoon
of July Z, the date on which Muenter
predicted that some vessel, as to the
name of which he appeared uncertain,
would be destroyed.

American Passenger Ships May
Sail Freely in War Zone.
OFFICIAL GUARANTEES ASKED OF U. S.
German Reply Makes Conditions for
Travel Under Own Flag or.-0n
Neutral Passenger Ships.

Berlin, via London Germany's
offer, embodied in the reply to the
United States note regarding the sink
ing of the Lusitania and submarine
warfare, was delivered to James w.
Gerard, the American ambassador,
Saturday night. Its essential features
are:
First, reiterated assurances that
American ships engaged in legitimate
trade will not be interfered with nor
the lives of Americans upon neutral
ships be endangered.
Second, that German submarines
will be instructed to allow American
passenger ships to pass freely and
safely, Germany entertaining in re-
turn confident hope that the American
government will see that these ships
do not carry contraband; such ships to
be provided with distinguishing marks
and their arrival announced reason
able time in advance.
The same privilege is extended to q
reasonable number of neutral passen-
ger ships under the American flag and
should the number of ships thus avail
able for passenger service prove made
quate Germany is willing to permit
America to place four hostile passen-
ger steamers under the American flag
to ply between North America and
Europe under the same conditions.

German Reply Viewed Here As
Quite Likely to Bring Crisis

Washington, D. Carnival Of the
press translation of the German note
confirmed impressions which have been
current in official quarters for several
days that Germany would refuse to
give the assurances asked for by the
United States that the lives Of Ameri-
cans travelling the high seas on un-
armed ships of any nationality be not
endangered.
The press copy arrived too late to be
read by many officials, and those who
saw it said they could not comment
until the official text from Ambassa-
dor Gerard had arrived.
Assumption of liability for the loss
Of Americans in the Lusitania tragedy
was considered to have been wholly
evaded by Germany, and the chief
principle for which the United States
announced that it would omit "no word
or act" to see observed was viewed as
having been passed over lightly.
The general feeling that the note
would be unsatisfactory and bring to q
crisis the friendly relations that have
existed between the United States and
Germany developed more strongly in
official quarters.

has just been informed by the United
States Engineering department that an
appropriation of $4,000 has been made
for the survey of the Yaquina Bay bar,
with an object of obtaining a 25-foot
channel, and Wisconsin capitalists are
ready to develop vast timber holdings
as soon as large carriers can enter the

J. s. Polhemus, assistant United
States engineer, who had charge of the
Yaquina Bay jetty construction, will
again be in charge Of the government

J. G. Maupin, of the United States

Engineers department survey is nee
essary before an appropriation could
be made for improvements, it is said.
Wisconsin capitalists, backed by
Senator Stephenson and others, who
bought the Smith interests around Coos
Bay, have money ready to invest.
A party headed by George A. Ste
phenson, manager of the North Bend
Lumber company, and Edward A.
Young, nephews of Senator Stephen
son, and Carl Burnham, all of Madison,
Wis, John Belknap and Steve Meal
lister, of Vancouver, B. c., timber ex-
porters, and N. c. Ingram and Charles
Corgan, Of Coos Bay, timber cruisers,
have been making various trips of in
vestigation.
Mr.. Stephenson has obtained sound
ings of the Yaquina Bay bar and sur
veys of roads in view of logging rail-
road to extend from Yaquina Bay to
Yachats.
1t is said to be the aim of the Wis
consin lumbermen to commence work
without delay.

BRITISH STEAMSHIP RtSSTS Sub
MARINE a HOURS; CAPTAIN KILLED

QucenBtown-W With nine dead sailore
stretched on her deck, eight men lying
wounded below, and her sides riddled
with shot and shell, the British steam
ship Anglo-Californian steamed into
Queenstown harbor Tuesday morning
after having withstood the attack Of q
German submarine for four hours.
The ships escape from destruction
was accomplished with no other means
Of defense than the indomitable spirit
Of her captain and crew, combined
with masterly seamanship, which en-
abled her to frustrate the efforts Of her
assailant to torpedo her.
The story OF how Captain Parslow
stood on the bridge Of the Anglo Cali
fornian amidst u rain Of shot, and
calmly directed the movements Of his
ship until he was killed by shell, and
Of how his place was taken by his son
until British destroyers appeared and
the submarine was compelled 10 flee,
was told by the survivors.
The Anglo Californian left Montre-
al for the British Isles on June "a.
The submarine was sighted at 8
o'clock Sunday morning. Captain
Parslow ordered full steam ahead and
wireless calls for assistance were sent
out. The submarine on the surface
proved to be far speedier craft and
speedily overhauled her, meanwhile
deluging her with shells. One shot
put the wireless apparatus on the An
glo- Californian out of action. Finding
he could not escape by running for it,
captain Parslow devoted his attention
to maneuvering his ship to prevent the
submarine from using torpedoes effec-
lively.

Holt, WouId-be Assassin of ]. P.
Morgan, May Be Sent To Asylum

New York--Frank Holt, the Cornell
instructor who shot J. Pierpont Nor
gan, will not, in the opinion Of Nassau
county officials, go to trial before a
jury for his crime. Instead, they ex-
pect that he will be sent to the hospi-
tai for the criminal insane in Mattea-
wan, there to end his days.
He will be arraigned soon in Glen
Cove before Justice William E. Luys-
ter, and unless he is granted further
continuance he will be held without
bail for the Nassau county grand jury.
This does not meet until September,
and in the meantime alienists will
study him in Jail at Mineola. Their
report is expected to furnish the evil
dence on which he will be sent to Mat
teawan.
This disposition of the case will be
satisfactory to Mr.. Morgan. 1t at
once saves him the necessity and an
noyance of appearing in court as a
witness against him. Mrs. Morgan is
also saved that trouble and any danger
of annoyance in the future from the
mans escaping. Paranoia is not one
of the diseases from which recoveries
are made. That he is suffering from
this disease is the positive declaration
of DR.. Guy F. Cleghorn, the Nassau
county Jail physician, whose patient
he is.~ DR.. Cleghorn is the only physi-
clan who has seen the prisoner since
he was committed. He has seen him
at least once day since he was taken
to the Jail, and after his last visit said
there was no doubt as to his mental
condition.
