Washington.-The case of the Allan
liner Hesperian, which was destroyed
by an explosion about two weeks ago
near Fasnet, has become practically a
closed incident at the State Depart.
ment
Secretary Lansing received the re-
port Of the German Admiralty in this
case and the department is disposed
to accept the German explanation.
The main point in the Admiralty re-
port is that the vessel could not have
been destroyed by a German torpedo,
for the reason that the reports from
submarines at the time OF the accident
show that none of them was in that
locality. It is admitted by officials
that without positive proof to the con-
trary this statement would be con.
elusive. It is conceded also that from
the evidence sent to the State Depart
ment by Consul Frost at Queenstown
and from Ambassador Page at Lon
don the department was obliged to
conclude that no proof had been Of
fered TO connect a German submarine
with the incident.
Fragments Not Preserved.
It has been asserted by officers OF
the Hesperian that they saw "frag-
ments of a torpedo" on deck. No one
however, saw a submarine, and so far
as is known the fragments referred to
were not preserved. Had the officers
preserved the fragments it would
have been possible to ascertain
whether they were part Of torpedo
or mine.
In the case OF the Nebraskan, frag-
ments of metal were preserved and
were submitted to an expert commits
sion of the Navy Department here.
The report of that board has never
been made public, but It is known that
the board decided the fragments were
pieces of a torpedo. The question did
not become important as Germany
subsequently admitted that the Ne
braskan had been torpedoed. II is
likely, therefore, that the theory of
the Hesperian having struck a mine
will be accepted unless some positive
evidence to the contrary, not now in
sight, is obtained.
Differences Disappearing.
The friendly settlement by the
United States and Germany of the
cases of the Hesperian and the
Orduna has increased the expectation
that a general understanding between
the two countries is fast approaching.
officials do not discount the state.
ment attributed TO Count Won Bern
storff, the German Ambassador, in
New York, to the effect that final
and amicable settlement on all issues
could be looked for within probably
two weeks. This expectation is sup
ported by the statement Of officials
made here again that there is no ques-
tion of an ultimatum between the
United States and Germany in the dis
pute over the Arabic.
It is also pointed out that diplomacy
tided over break in the case of the
Lusitania, and it is expected that in
Germany's next note on the Arabic
she will clear the way FOR a settle
ment Of that issue.

airy lnstructions-Villa's Repre-.
sentative Announces His
Surprise.

Observation-Disclosures consuls in
Northern Mexico, which now has be-
come the chief battle-ground between
the contending factions, have been ad-
yised by the State Department not
only to notify American citizens to
withdraw from the danger zones, but
to leave Mexico themselves in the
event that conditions become intoler-
able. Secretary Lansing described the
instructions to consuls, which were
issued several days ago, as simply pre-
cautionary on account of the disturbed
conditions. They are similar to those
given TO American consuls in Europe,
whenever the contending armies draw
near cities previously untouched by
the fighting.
The rapid advance OF General
Obregon's forces into Northern Mex
leo and frequent reports OF lawless-
ness on the border for which General
Villa has dsclaimed responsibility,
have led to the present measures, ac-
cording to State Department officials.
The only formal announcement on the
subject was as follows:
owing to disturbed conditions pre-.
vailing along the Mexican border the
department repeats the advice hereto
fore given to American citizens to re-
main on this side of the international
line for the present"

Main Hope In carranza.

II is true, Of course, that Carranza
has not yet been recognized. He has
not yet given evidence Of complete
domination Of the republic He has
not yet conquered the opposing fac
tionalists and has not yet set himself
up in Mexico City.
But he has proceeded far toward
those ends. He is in absolute control
Of four-hfths of the country. He holds
every important seaport on both
coasts. His army has occupied Mex
leo City and done much to relieve
the suffering there. He has driven
Zapata into the mountains Of the
southern provinces and has pursued
villa to the American border He has
set up a sort Of constitutional gov.
ernment in the territory which his
armies command.
Moreover, the Constitutionalist
cause in Mexico seems TO represent
about all that is civilized in the re-
public. Il has attracted to its stand
ard many Of the most patriotic people
there. and if there is any hope of en-.
lightened self-government in any ele-
ment in the country, that hope seems
just now to centre in Carranza and his
following.
