READY ID HEAR FAMOUS BURIED
 TREASURE CASE
Four Men Under Arrest for Alleged Complicity in Murder of Wealthy Stock man and His Son in Sep tcmber, 1868
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHI

BEDFORD July 9.-With four men arrested for alleged complicity in the murder of d wealthy stockmaD and his son at Siam, Iowa, in September, 1868. and arrangements made for the protection of the states chief wit nesses. representatives of the attor- ney general stated they are prepared for the next phase of Taylor coun- tvs double murder and buried trea- sure case. which comes up Tuesday with preliminary hearings of the de- fendants. Bates Huntsman, Samuel Scrfvner and Henry and John Dame wood.
 C. A. Robbins, assistant attorney general, has gone to Des Moines for a conference with Attorney General Cosson. after he had made arrange ments to insure the appearance of Mrs. Maria Porter of Quitman, Mis- souri at the hearing. She, when four teen years old, is said to have wit nessed the killing of a cattleman. who is believed to have been Nathaniel smith of St. Joseph and his son, and the subsequent burial of $9O,00O on the Collins farm, near Siam.
  fendants, chacterized the whole pro ceedings as a huge joke" Dame wood, notwithstanding he has de- clined to treat the matter seriously, he wished to retain the best lawyers in the county.
 Another version of the treasure story came to light when old resi- dents said the money was buried on the farm by the James boys after they had robbed a bank. This is said to account for their interest in locating it after years. The loss of a plat in a fire which burned a farm house and the death of Jonathan Dark, the only member of the gang who knew where the treasure was buried, is said to have made neces- sary the search which lasted for many years.

WASHINGTON. July 9.-Ambassa- . dor Gerard is enciphering Germany's reply to the American note and it is believed it will be in the hands of the Washington government tomor- TOW or Sunday. Officials allow an average of thirty -four hours for mes sages to reach here from Berlin. From the fact that the delivery of the note followed closely the submission of the preliminary draft there is a general belief in official quarters tonight that no essential changes have been made
 The portions of the draft had been transmitted in outline by the ambas- sador are not regarded satisfactory Ii is generally agreed that no com prehensive or thorough judgment of the present situation can be formed until the exact phraseology of the German note is available The presi- dent is due to arrive in Washington in time to discuss the note with his cabinet on Tuesday. Until the of ficial text arrives no comment will be made
 The hope prevails that the full text carefully translated. will not prove as unsatisfactory as the cable out line, but officials are not optimistic over the prospects

Terrific Explosion Which Caused Fire at Sea is Thought to Been Caused by lnfernal Instrument Stored in Hold
CREW FOUGHT FIRE
 ALMOST THREE DAYS
Only Fact That Bomb Was Placed i'll Forward Hold Away from Ammunition Saved Ship from Certain Destruction
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spArcHI

HALIFAX, July 9.-A bomb placed aboard the Minnehaha while at the pier in New York caused the cNplo- sion and fire at sea, in the opinion of officers. Tho explosion occurred in No. hold, with terrific force. shak- ing the vessel from stem to stern. The crew forward was stunned ar1 two sailors were hurled into the air The crew battled two days and a night to save the ship from flames
 Officers believe Erich Muenter, alias Holt. and confederates were re- sponsible.
 Holts plans were frustrated by the fact that the weapon of destruction was placed in among miscellaneous freight in the forward hold. sep arated by stout bulkheads from an enormous cargo of munitions inten- ded for the allies.
 While the sailors fought the fire Captain Claret reached Halifax and brought the ship safely through the gale to anchorage here. By that time the flames had eaten into the No hold. but it is announced the fire has been eXtinguished.
 The theory of spontaneous com Lustion has never entered. as the
  suance from the matches of suffo- eating fumes which seriously ham pered the crew in fighting the fire Officers believe the fumes were let loose by somc internal instrument Thrilling stories are told by the crew of the freighter.
 The first two days out were un- eventful. The Minnehaha sailed from New York for England last Sunday evening. Half an hour after mid night on Wednesday morning Cap tain Claret and his officers were somewhat startled by the receipt of a wireless message warning that bombs had been placed on vessels that were to sail for new York for European ports recently. The cap tain immediately ordered the small boats swung out in readiness for lowering in case an explosion Oc- cured

 Steam was driven into the holds , and soon as tine fire appeared under control. Captain Claret would not take chances but turned toward Hali- ! fax. At night the fire gains made | headway. finally reaching into the . adjoining head. Throughout the night the crew fought desperately. Yesterday they got the upper hand of the flames.
 Meanwhile the weather became un- favorable and early today a heavvy i southwest gale arose. This, com bined with a thick fog. compelled the steamer to remain off Sambro some hours and she did not reach anchor { age and quarantine until early this afternoon.

German Submarines Will Be Instructed to Allow American Ships to Pass, Confident They Do Not Carry COntraband
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHI

BERLIN, July 9.-Germany's offer embodied in the reply to the United States regarding the sinking of the Lusitania delivered to Ambassador Gerard last night is:
 First: Reiterated assurance that American ships engaged in legitimate trade will not be interfered with and that the lives of Americans aboard neutral ships will not be endan- gered
 second: That German submarines will be instructed to allow American passenger ships to pass freely and safely, Germany entertaining the con fident hope that the American gov ernment will see that these ships do not carry contraband; such ships to be provided with distinguishing marks and their arrival announced a reason able time in advance. The same pri- vilege is extended to a reasonable number of neutral ships under the American flag. and should the number thus available for passenger service prove inadequate Germany is willing to permit America to place four hos tile steamers under the flag to ply between North America and Europe under the same conditions.

FL PASO, July 9.-General Huerta today waived a preliminary hearing in , federal court and was held for the grand jury at san Antonio under $15.-
 GOO bond. He was removed to Fort
 Bliss in the custody of United States
 Marshal Rogers. Four other MeXicans
 arrested with him waived hearing and were released under bond
 Huerta declined to furnish bond and will be guarded by deputy marshals. Ygnacio Bravo. who is eishty-two years old, and who has served sixty years in the Mexican army was released on his personal recognizance.
 The bonds of the others were re- duced, General Caus to S2,500 and the others to S5,0oO each The bondsmen were J. F. Primm a merchant and ]. r.. NcNary a banker. Huerta unac- companied by the other prisoners in order not to create a disturbance in the street, was brought from the county jail to the federal court late today. The fact that Huerta was to be brought to court was not given publicity. Few were present except the officers of the court.
 Huerta explained to J. F. Oliver. United States commissioner. that he declined to give bond and was willing to be confined at the fort He pro tested he did not wish to waive his rights in the case and his attorney eX- plaiaed the waiving Of the preliminary hearing was not prejudicins the case, which Nill be taken mp log the grand jury at san Antonio on December 20.
 Hucrta asked the commissioners permission to speak in his own defense but was dissuaded by his attorney. J L.

 Hucrta's manner in court was quiet contrasted with his dcmonstrative ap- peararce when committed last week. Six days close confinement appears not to have affected his health General Orozco. who was arrested with Huerta - who escaped from those guarding the house, has succeeded in keeping his whereabouts a secret. The search for him by state and federal authorities has become little moro than perfume tory.
 Orozco is under bond of S7.500 to ap- pear at the preliminary hearing on July r.. Rumors that he is in Mexico gath erinG band to engage in 8 revolutions ary movement continues. but most ob- servers of Mexican political affairs concede that any serious revolution Huerta might have planned is now inn probable. Almost all American off cers believe the situation along the bor- der mas been restored to what it was prior to the arrest of Huerta and aside from the developments incident to the waged by Villa and Car ranza there is little here to center pulp lie attention.

How Germany Thinks the War
 Started

In the July American Magazine Edward Lyell Fox, correspondent in Germany for that publication, writes a highly interesting article entitled "God Punish England" in which he reports the intensity of the feeling in Germany against England. In con- nection with this subject he quotes Major von Herwarth, a German officer who tells in part as follows what he regards as the origin of the troubles:
 England is jealous of our com merce. We do not have weekend parties. We work. We become too powerful in trade. We disturb the British peace of mind, therefore Bri- tain must be rid of this disturbance. We saw with regret that our relations with England were becoming unsatis- factory. There was no rhyme or req son why we should not have come to a good solid understanding. We tried for it hard, but in vain. England turned to France and Russia, and it was remarkable coincidence that ever since the Triple Entente was complete our neighbors in the east and west adopted an attitude against us that grew more and more hostile. We knew that the struggle was com ing and we were prepared But, more than anything, we resent the British hypocrisy over the neutrality of Bel gium-this from the nation that made her empire by gobbling up little coun- tries all over the world! You see, we cannot think of such thinks and re- main calm. Germany is only one thou sandth's part of the surface of the globe. (The entire area of the globe, including all oceans, is about one

thousand times the area of Germany. The entire area of all the land on the globe, including fertile territory, des- serts, steppes and the polar regions, is less than three hundred times the area of Germany-Editor.)
 We have worked hard on this soil and we live well. And by our hard work we are rivaling England's com merce, which means that We must go."
