of Germany's Instructions

Washington, Feb. 24.-offcisl notice
Of the sinking Of the American steamer
CArib was received at the State De-
partment IN this message from Ameri-
can Minister van Dyke at The Hague;
"Carib reported sunk in North Sea
outside route prescribed by German
instructions"
The German Embassy here to-day
issued & statement giving the courses
which vessels bound for German ports
should pursue in order TO be perfectly
safe. The statement follows:
ain connection with the deplorable
loss OF the Evelyn all circles inter
ested in shipping TO the North Sea
and the nearby waters are again ad-
yised TO follow the German Admiralty's
Instructions;
"a. Merchant vessels bound for the
Elder, Elbe, Weser and Jade Rivers
must first make Lister deep buoy; those
bound for the Ems should make direct

from Lister deep buoy. Vessels are
permitted to make the German coast

rivers only between sunrise and sunset
and in clear weather Approximate posi-
ton OF Lister deep buoy, latitude 90 de-

"B. Shipping north of the Shetland
Islsnds. in the eastern area OF the
North Sea and in a strip OF at least
thirty sea miles in width along the
Netherlands coast is not imperilled.'
OAicial advices to-day seem TO throw
some doubt on whether Captain Smith,
OF the American steamer Evelyn, sunk
IN the North Sea by mine, was among
the saved. and whether 1t is not his
boat which is missing. Ambassador
Page, at London, to- day forwarded 3 re-
mort from the American Consul at
bremerhRven, which is as follows:
american steamer Evelyn ran on
two mines on the 10th. 4 q. m, near
Isle Borkum. Sank seven hours later.
Captain Smith, thirteen men and Dutch
pilot in one boat: First 0fficer Swan

RUMANIA'S WAR
FEVER ABATES
Withdrawal of Russians
from Bukowina Creates
New Situation.

Paris. Feb. PA Rumanian diplo-
mat who has Just passed through Paris
has confirmed the news that there Is
deadlock in his governments projects
OF Intervention. He does not appre-
bend that this situation will last, but
the difficulties which haze arisen are
clearly OF a serious nature and calcu-
lated to inspire great caution.
In the first place, he says. the retire
ment Of the Russians from Bukowina
deprives the Rumanisns OF what would
be their right wing in the event OF an
invasion Of Pennsylvania. The Russian
army would, in his opinion. be quite
able TO cope with the Austro- Hungarian
and German forces if it were acting
on the defensive in its own country,
but unequal to the task OF taking the
offensive in Transylvania single-hand-
ed. Secondly, he points out, painful
impression has been caused in Buchar-
est by the declarations Of the Russian
Cabinet members NM. Sazonof and
Goremykin with regard TO the revival
OF the traditional Russian policy of OBJ
tanning command of Constantinople and
the Dardanelles.
Rumania stands for the information
alization of the sBosporus, Constanti-
nople and the Dardanelles. Rumanian
statesmen regard this question as vital
for the very existence of Rumania, for
without the free passage Of the Darda-
nelles Rumania could not compete with
Russia in the expectation of corn, pc
troll and textiles, and her main indus
tries would consequently be throttled.
1t is understood, however, that with
in the last few days the Cars govern
ment has given formal assurances to
Bucharest with regard to the free nav
igation and Observation-Disclosures Of the
two straits and Constantinople.

been employed at his place.
Accused Of Fraud.
The prisoners were arraigned before
United States Commissioner Clarence
s. Houghton on charges Of having de-
frauded the government by obtaining
passports from the State Department
in an illegal manner.
The charges were preferred by
William Offley, division superintendent
Of the Department Of Justice, under
whose direction federal agents gath
cred the evidence. Commissioner
Houghton held the men in $4,000 bail
each.
According to the papers filed in the
case, Stegler is charged with having
used a passport which was issued to
Richard Madden, an American citizen.
Madden, it was learned from the Ho-
boken police, formerly was a teaming
contractor in Hoboken. As such he
came into frequent contact with Ger
mans and officials of the German
steamship companies.
Albert G. Adams, special federal
agent, said last night that the agents
obtained their first clew through a
jealous woman in Hoboken. Madden is
wanted, the official says, as a material
witness, but they we're unable to find
him in his usual haunts last night.
Clew from a Woman.
Cook is charged with having acted
as go-between. He is said to have in
troduced Stegler to Madden in a Ho-
boken dance hall. He is running for
Commissioner of the City of Hoboken,
which a few weeks ago adopted the
commission government plan. Accord.
ing to friends he had already obtained
the fifty petitions Of taxpayers neces-
sary for his candidacy. The elections
are to be held in Hoboken on March l6.
The specific charge against Stegler,
q clean-cut, intelligent German, is that
on or about January 20, 1915, he signed
the name of Richard Madden to an
application for a passport. 1t is said
he later appeared before a clerk Of the
Federal Court and took an out Of al
legiance to the United States.

Death last night claimed Neil Camp,
bell, one of the prominent mineing
engineers of the northwest and SUI
perintendent of the Overlook mining
company of Atlanta which is owned
by Walla Walla capitalists. Over
work in bringing the mine to state
of perfection for his company, many
of the stockholders in which We're
his personal friends, was the cause Of
his breakdown which resulted in his
death. Mr.. Campbell worked espe-
cially hard ON the mill on the pro

strange feature in connection with his
death was that the first cleanup from
the mill reached the company's Off

Mr.. Campbell was of Scotch descert
and was born at Owen Sound, Can

and took I'D the career Of mining.
In 1903 he came to the northwest

in the camp of Atlanta and from then
gave his entire attention to the de-
velopment of the Overlook property
which he was just bringing to state
of perfection when striken down OIL
June 27. His oldest son, Donald
Campbell, a mining engineer and a
graduate of Columbia university,
reached the camp on that day to as
sist his father and upon his arrival
there, Mr.. Campbell gave way under
the strain giving his son instructions
to continue the work almost complete1
Mr.. Campbell was brought to Boise
and while on two occasions his con-
dition was very serious he rallied
and until yesterday afternoon it was
believed he might live for some
months. His brother Duncan Camp
bell. a mining man i'm charge OF a
big iron mine in Michigan, came to
Boise about two weeks ago but was
obliged to return home on account OF
the illness of his wife.
Mel Campbell is survived by two
other brothers and two sisters in the
east and five children, all Of whom
