sanitary treatment of the patients in
some OF the women's wards" Two
of the attendants charged with abuse
of patients were discharged by the
superintendent, some time ago.
DIR. Blackburn, whose dismissal is
ordered, had been at the hospital fol

points brought to its attention by the

Germany's DisaVowal.
Secretary Lansing gave out the text
of a letter received from Count Won
Bernstorff. which was as follows:
MY Dear Mr.. Secretary:
Prompted by the desire to reach
satisfactory agreement with regard to
the Arabic incident, my government
has given me the following instruc-
tons:
The orders issued by his majesty
the emperor to the commanders Of the
German submarines, of which | mott
fed you on a previous occasion, have
been made so stringent that the recur-
renee of incidents similar to the Ara
bic case is considered out of the ques-
ton.
Acted Against Orders.
According to the report of Com
mander Schneider of the submarine
which sank the Arabic and his atti-
davit as we'll as those of his men,
Commander Schneider was convinced
that the Arabic intended to ram the
submarine.
ON the other hand, the imperial
government does not doubt the good
faith of the affidavit of the British
officers of the Arabic, according to
which the Arabic did not intend to
ram the submarine. The attack of the
submarine was undertaken against
the instructions issued to the COM
mander. The imperial government re-
grets and disavOws this act and has
notified Commander Schneider accord
ingly.
Under these circumstances my gov
eminent is prepared to pay an indem-
nifty for American lives lost on the
Arabic. | am authorized to negotiate
with you about the amount of this in
demnity.
Il remain, my dear Mr.. Lansing
yours sincerely,
