DISTRIBUTION Of
WILHELMINA'S CARGO
GERMAN AMBASSADOR ASKS
THAT AMERICAN CONSULAR
SUPERVISE DISTRIBUTION.

Washington. Feb. 4-Much interest
was manifested at the state depart
ment today in the proposal Of Count
Bernstorff the German ambassador
that an American consular officer su
pervise the distribution Of the cargo
of foodstuffs on the American steam
ship Wilhelmna to make sure that
they reached the civilian population
and not the armed forces OF Germany.
As the WiBhelmna is now on the
high seas and the British government
has announced its purpose OF detain'
ing her and bringing ler into port to
buy the cargo, diplomatic negotiations
on the subject are not expected to de
yelop until the ship actually is taken
into British jurisdiction
The department officials declined
TO say whether or not American con
sular officers would be authorized to
supervise the distribution OF the food
stuffs and in British circles it was in
timated that Great Britain probably
would not permit the cargo of the
Wilhelmina to proceed under such an
arrangement. which if applied to all
cargoes OF foodstuffs might develop
into a plan whereby grain and flour
now in Germany could be utilized en-
tirely for the armed forces. while the
civilian population was fed by import
ed products.
The German ambassador, who some
DAYS ago notified the state depart
ment that his government would guar
antee that no food from the United
States would be seized by the govern
ment for military purposes, declared
that this latest proposition left no
doubt as to the intention Of Germany
Ia the latter The recent decree in
regard to wheat, corn and flour seized
by the German government applied
only, the ambassador asserted, to
what already was in the country aud
not to that imported from the United
States. In seizing foodstuffs Intended
only for the civilian population of a
country. he insisted, Great Britain
would be violating principles and de
crees which she herself had declared
should be observed

found in this war zone will be de.

passengers.
A warning is issued that neutral
ships in the war zone are also In dan

Washington has been notified by
Germany that American vessels
should avoid the north and west
coasts OF France.
The British foreign office in

Britain may undertake retaliatory
measures, saying:
The apparent intention of the Ger.
man government to sink merchant
ships by submarines without bringing
them into port or providing accommo-
dation for their crews. and regardless
OF the loss OF civilian lives, has raised
very seriously the question whether
Great Britain should adopt more
stringent measures against German
trade"
No decision has yet been taken on
this matter

WILL TRY OTHER TACTICS
Hope of Supporters Of the Bill Now
Is to Win over support From Pro
gressves-RepubIicans Are Jublant
Over Their Second Coup.

Washington, Feb 4.-Administra-
Jioa leaders in the senate were ffus-
trated again today in their plan to re-
commit the government ship purchase
bill With instructions for its amend
ment Tonight they were considering
a proposal to let the bill 20 to com
mttee without Instructions, with
view to bringing il mp again on mo-
tion to discharge the committee if it
should fail to act promptly,
Although no agreement was reached
to proceed on this new line OF action
the fact that the champions OF the bill
found themselves lacking at least two
OF a majority and with no possibility
Of changing this situation until next
Monday at the earliest, led them TO
ponder over some other solution OF
the problem.
Senators who favor the new plan
pointed out that some of the progress
sive republicans and some of the in
surgent democrats are pledged mere
ly to vote for a motion to recommit
the bill without instructions. From
these they believe pledges OF support
could be procured for a subsequent
motion to discharge the commerce
commission from further considera-
tion Of the bin if it failed to return
the measure with amendments recon-
mended by the caucus.
Senator Fletcher in charge of the
bill said he would be willing to voro
to recommit if he could have assur-
ance of enough votes to carry a mo-
tion to discharge the committees by
such a plan, he said, the bill could be
placed before the senate again as
readily as through the passage of the
motion 10 recommit with Instructions.
Senator Fletcher said still another
plan was being discussed but that II
was not ready for revelataion. II no
other way out can be found admins
tration senators purpose preventing
any vote until Senators Newlands and
Smith of South Carolina return to
Washington next week. With the
vote 4S to 48 they would count uron
Vice President Marshall to break
tie in their favor.
All seven Of the revolving demo-
Gratis are standing firm with the re-
publicaas, so today the administra-
ton leaders, counting Senator's La
Toilette and Norris WITH them. could
only muster 46 votes, while the repuh-
licans had As votes in the capitol.
The democrats had hoped to havs
enough strength to carry their point
today. but the return OF Senator
Lewis of Illinois, from Asheville. y.
C., was promptly offset by the arrival
of Senator Fal Of New Mexico, and
Senator Penrose long absent on ac-
count of illness
The republicans were iubilaat over
their second coup of the long legisla-
tive struggle over the bin when the
democrats were forced TO take the
floor to talk against time. Senator
Reed spent most of the afternoon dis
cussing the immigration bill veto and
Senators Camden and Hardwick OF
the insurgent democrats, defended
their positions
Some Of the republican leaders were
inclined to force the democrats into
all-night sessions, but others deemed
this to be unwise, fearing the demo-
Gratis might fad some of the republl-
can senators absent and press a

BONANZA STRIKE
 RECALLS THE LONG AGO

(From Wednesdays Dally)
 Former Sheriff John L. Munds has arrived in the city from the United Eastern bonanza camp in Mohavc county, and states the -ush in con tinues, and very few are leaving. While no excitement is prevailing, there is a steady rush from all parts of the coast. He says: If any more locations are made in that field for a radius of three miles there will be no material left with which to build mon uments so far as rocks are to be con sidered. All this article already has been consumed and in some instances empty tin cans are being piled up to designate boundaries. Another inter esting situation is noticeable. As far as the eye can reach are seen pros pectors standing up on the hillsides resembling the large cactus, evidently holding on to their ground, ill fear of jumpers. At night lights of lanterns also give some idea Of the intensity to get hold of something near the big one or on the dyke where for nations are similar. In short there is a repetition of mining day boomS of the long ago, in which the strug- gling prospector rubs elbows with the big fellow who has millions at his command. It is the Comstock, Lead vile, and Tombstone over again, of joyous anticipations and blasted hopes"
 MT. Munds is developing his group, situated within 600 yards of the bon anza and parallel thereto. He feels quite encouraged over work per formed, and will maintain perman- ent camp.
