SECOND AMERICAN NOTE
Believed in Geneva That a Rupture
With Austria is Imminent

Geneva Dec. 30-The latest infor-
nation received by the Swiss press
from Vienna states that Austrian Of
iicial circles are opposed to the ac-
ceptance Of the second American An
coma note unless it is modified, and a
rupture OF. diplomatic relations is be-
lieved,tQ:be imminent, notwithstanding
the strong opposition of the liberal
and Hungarian parties and diplomats.
who demand that an agreement shall
be reached with Washington.
The reply to the first American An
coma note, it is declared. was drafted
in Berlin. Such pressure was brought
to bear on Austria that both Count
Tisza and Baron Burian, who favored
a policy Of conciliation. had their
hands forced, and, therefore, it is
claimed that the question more direct
ly concerns Berlin than. Vienna.
1t is considered that there still is
a possibility of an agreement within
the next "a hours, but if the stua-
tion comes to repture of diplomatic
relations, not only Vienna, but Berlin.
will be affected.

ALLEGED GERMAN BASE
German Submarines Said TO be PG
Together in Philippines

Manila. Dec, 3O--To forestall an
outbreak similar to the one which
marked Christmas eve last year, the
police raided a number Of houses in
Manila and the suburbs and were re-
warded by the capture of the making
OF fine little revolution. Seditious do.
cuments, flags Of the secret Filipino
Society Of the Katipunan, and seals
and commissions issued by the rebel
officers, fell in to the hands of the
minions of the law.
Numerous arrests were made. There
is believed by well-informed Ameri-
cans to be widespread movement
on foot, backed by the followers of
Artemio Ricarte, who on several prior
occasions has been thorn in the
side of the insular: government. The
Harrison administration is doing its
best to prevent the extent of the un-
rest from becoming known, but those
who are familiar with present condi-
tions place little credence in its hope
ful statements.
To add to the seriousness Of the
situation. it is known that consuls of
the Allies here have notified the gov
ernment that submarines are being
shipped piecemeal to Manila by the
Germans, with the evident intention
Of putting them together and using
some part of the islands for base
from which to prey upon their
enemies shipping in the China Sea
and nearby Pacific There are num-
berless out of the way harbors in
the islands. which would furnish an
ideal base for such operations, well
sheltered from the eye of the casual
observer.

Hemisphere is Probable.

Washington, Dec. 30.-A Pan AM
er:can institute of international law
to prepare the groundwork upon which
to build an international court for

from the joint ma :tings Of the sec
.ion on international law of the Sec
ond PAM American Scientific Congress
an;! the American Institute of Inter
national Law.
T1om the opening session of the
congress, at which Secretary Lansing
expressed the ho3A that the united
power of the American republics would
he available for their mutual protec-
ton against aggression from over

able development of a tangible ma
tHcc expected from the congress.
The proposal probably will be given

THE ANCONA DISPUTE
No Word Received at State Depart
ment Concerning Reply From Aus
tria to U. S. Note.

Washington, Dec. 30.-New Iro'
po5als from Germany for settle
mcnt of the Lusitania controversy
which the Berlin Foreign office ncres
will be acceptable to the United
States, are expected to be presented
to the State Department next week.
1t is understood the negotiations
between Secretary Lansing and Count
Won Bernstorff, the German Ambas-
sador, recently progressed to point
where settlement was expected at
Christmas. It is said the German
proposals resulting from these con-
versations will probably arrive soon
after New Years Day.
information received here indicates
shat the Berlin Foreign Office is anX-
ious to end the controversy, in spite
of adverse public opinion said to have
been aroused by the American request
for withdrawal of the German nava!
and military attaches and the de-
manis upon Austria-Hungary as a
result of the sinking of the Ancona.
The present status of the negotla-
tions is very closely guarded. The
United States has contended all along
for a disavowal of the sinking of the
Lu:itania and rcparation for the AM
e.ican lives lost. A proposal by Ger
MANY to arbitrate the question OF
Indemnity was rejected. 1t has since
been suggested that Germany might
make reparation with the understand
ing that it would involve no admission:
OF wrongdoing.
It is understood that no agreement
will satisfy the United States unless
il contains something in tn" nature
Ct & G;savowal, but Germany contends
That ter Instructions to submarine
commanders to discontinue such at
,a.Es as that on the Lusitanla IS the
most effective disnvGwal tnat c"u!a
he siren.
it is regarded herr as especially
.iy:icant that settlan'ct of the l'us'-
tania: case should become imminent
atsa time when Teutonic diplomatic
circles are represented as being pre-
pared for a diplomatic break between
the United States and Austrla-Hun
gary. a clearing up of the LuS'tan''
case. officials believe. would have IN
important bearing on the controversy
now pending with Vienna. That sltua-
ton remains unchanged, without word
from Ambassador Penticld or any Of
flcal indication when Austria's reply
to Secretary Lansing's renewa re-
manGs might be expected.

WILL RELEASE GERMANS
France Will Accede to Demand OF the
United States

Washington, Dec. 30-France will
accede to the demand of the United
States for the release of the six Ger
mans and Austrians taken by the
French cruiser Des CarteS from the
American steamers plying between
New York and Porto Rico.
Although a formal reply has not
been received from the French gov
ernment, the intentions Of the Paris
foreign Office have been communicated
informally to United States Ambas-
sador Sharp, and transmitted by him
to Washington. The State Depart
ment has been informed that one of
the German citizens has already
been released.
Although the department has been
given to understand that France will
comply with the demands, it is NOT
known whether she will formally sub
scribe to the contention of the United
States that no right exists under in
ternational law for the seizure of
enemy subjects from neutral ships.
This contention is based particularly
on the decision in the Trent affair
against the action the United States
warShip which seized the Confederate
commissioners Mason and Slidell from
the British vessel Trent.
Ambassador Sharp states in his re.
port to the State Department that the
French admiralty has been waiting un-
til it could get full report from the
commander of the Des Cartes before
making a formal reply.
In the case of August Piepenbrink,
a German applicant for American
who was seized last year
by a French cruiser from the Ameri-
can steamer Windber, France and
treat Britain, to both of which coun-
I les the United States addressed
demand for the release of the man.
acquesced, but stated that the de-
mand was granted out of friendship
for the United States. Both countries
reserved to themselves the right to
dispute the American contentious.
