BERLIN OF STATUS
- Assoc1ArEp pREss.

Washington, Sept, 14.-Prospects
for a favorable adjustment Of the
controversies between the United
States and Germany depend entirely
on the attitude of the Berlin foreign
Office toward the recommendations
Ambassador Bernstorff made today
ss result Of yesterdays conference
with Secretary Lansing. Details Of
the conference became known today,
throwing light on the critical point
that had been reached in relations
between the two countries.
The Washington government was
almost ready to severe diplomatic re-
lations, but decided to wait until Ger
many could be furnished evidence re-
garding the Arabic. Friendliness and
candor marked the conference. The
ambassador is given opportunity to
communicate freely with his govern
ment, SO Berlin may clearly under
stsnd Why Washington IS convinced
the forpedoing Of the Arabic could not
have been q mistake, justified or un-
justified. Bernstorff was given to
clearly understand the United States
wants a disavowal.
Arbitration cannot be considered
until the attitude of Germany is on
record. Later it may consider a
proposal to arbitrate indemnity for
the lives lost. The tension in the
state department and in German
quarters was less today.

LUCY H. IS OFF
WITH A CARGO
AMMUNITION
Big Schooner is Said to
Have Been Purchased by
the Villa Adherents.
CLEARS FOR HAVANA
WITH HER SHIPMENT
The Ysidoro is Still at An
Choir in Slip Near Gen.
trail Wharf.

The schooner Lucy H., one of the
largest vessels of her class navigat-
ing local waters, left Pensacola yes
terday with cargo of arms and am
munition. BY this move the Villa
crowd of revolutionists evidently in
street parlance, .'put one over" on
their opponents the Carranza follow
ers, for the latter had been patiently
watching the movements of the Mex
lean schooner Ysidoro.
The Lucy HIS cargo was cleared
at the custom. house for Havana, but
there are mighty few who believe the
schooner win go there before she
first touches at some Mexican port
and discharges her cargo of war mu-
nitions.
The vessels manifest shows she
carries between $50 and 200 rifles,
several thousand rounds of ammuni-
ton, some dynamite and several bar
rels of gasoline. There was nothing
irregular about the vessels cargo and
furthermore no embargo has been
placed on the shipment of arms to
Cuba or Mexico.
The arms and ammunition have
been arriving here for the past sew
eral weeks, but the plans of the Villa
supporters miscarried and before
they could get the shipment aboard
the schooner Ysidoro, which came
here for that purpose, the Carranza
followers in New Orleans had learned
of the scheme and they Immediately
set up claim for the schooner, filing
libel in the United States court.
This recently was thrown out of
court owing to both litigants being
foreigners, but there were other
libels against the Ysidoro and rather
than wait to settle these up the Lucy
H. was purchased and the shipment
loaded aboard her. She lost no time
in getting away from port, leaving
yesterday for sea.
1t was reported last night that the
Villa supporters had purchased the
Lucy H. from the Sprinkle Bros,
bit this could not be confirmed. The
vessel is equipped as a three-master
and also equipped with gasoline en-
gines.

New York, Sept. 14.-No lives were
lost and no one was injured in the
fire on the steamer SAINT Anna,
bound from New York for Italian
ports with more than 1000 Italian
reservists, according to a wireless
message received by the Fabre line
agents today. The message added
that the SAINT Anna, conveyed by the
Ancona of the same line is proceeding
to Fayal, Azores.
Captain Pavy did not state the ex-
tent of the damage, nor the cause of
the fire. The agents are inclined to
believe the cargo, consisting chiefly
of foodstuffs, hundreds of barrels of
oil and large quantity of parafne
wax was not damaged.
Some officials believe the fire was
caused by fire bomb, timed to ex-
plode when the vessel was in mid

to participate in the billion dollar
loan sought by Great Britain and
France in this country if they signify
the wish to be invited. The moneyed
faction of this element, Wall street
hears, will be glad of a chance to
help. Another faction largely mid

ticipation even though the money is
spent in the United States.
This was the big feature of today's
negotiations.
Heretofore commission has met
only bankers with pro-ally sympa-
thies and conditions. No firm with
the remotest German connections has
been asked to the meetings of the
commission and bankers. Some of
