TWO SURVIVORS
OF FRENCH STEAMER
Tell of Appalling Completeness of the
Destruction of the Ship.

Dover, April 2, 2.01 a. m.-The two
survivors of the French steamer Emma
who were brought here say that theiI
vessel was in ballast and was there
fore so light that she failed to answer
the helm quickly. It was for this rea-
son impossible to avoid the torpedo
which struck her on the starboard side
just abaft the engine room. The ter
rife explosion nearly split the steamer
in two and must have killed many OF
the engine room hands.
The disaster, the men declare, was
appalling in its completeness. There
was no time to launch a boat and
within a few minutes not a vestige OF
the ship was visible. There was nc
wreckage to cling to, but, being power
full swimmers, the two men were able
to keep afioat for two hours, when a
destroyer came to the rescue.

FORMALLY REQUESTED FROM

EiteI Was Not Warranted in De-
stroying the Frye-No Difficulty is
Anticipated in Settlement.

Washington, April Indemnity for
the full value of the American ship
William Frye, destroyed at sea by the
German converted cruiser Prinz Eitel
Friedrich, has been formally requested
from Germany by the United States
government.
A Recital of Facts.
Acting Secretary Lansing announced
today a note on the subject had been
sent to Ambassador Gerard for pres
entation to the foreign Office at Ber-
lin. Pending its receipt in Berlin, the
documents will not be made public,
but 1t was described officially today
as a recital of the facts and a pres
entation of a claim for damages on
behalf of the owners of the vessel
No representations were made con-
corning the cargo, since it was estab-
lished after an Investigation by the
state department that it was sold en-
route and was British -owned at the
time of the sinking.
Cargo Not Contraband
The American government contends
in the note that the commander OF
the Eitel was not warranted in des-
troying the Frye, because it could not
lawfully have been condemned as a
prize had it been taken into prize
court. The destination of the cargo
was a private firm in England, the
American government learned and the
wheat could not therefore have beer
considered as contraband.
The general belief in official QUAR-
ters here has been that the case would
be settled without difficulty as soor
as a full report of the affair mailed
by the German embassy here reached
Berlin. which is expected to be this
week.

FIGHTING IN cARPATHIANs

Berlin, April /. via London, April 2,
Los a. nn.-Despatches from Austria
received here describe the fighting in
the Carpathians as unusually bitter,
especially between the Lupkow and
UZsok passes. Although the Russians
have received heavy reinforcements, it
is asserted that they have been unable
to score any advantage. They are said
to be having difficulties in provisioning
their army.
The Austrians, the dispatches say,
have gained an advantage in Molnar-
vagas where dogged fighting took
place in snow knee deep. The artil-
lery fighting In the Dukla pass has
slackened. All the Russian attempts
to break the Austrian lines failed, the
Russians suffering terrific losses.
