SECRECY ABOUT GERMAN
 CRUISER PRINZ EITEE
If She Does Not Intern, Hour of De-
 parture Will Be Concealed.

Washington, March 12.-Omcials of the American government have decld- ed that the time to be allowed the German raider Prinz Eitel Friedrich to repair at Newport News shall re- main an official secret. Whether the vessel is to be interned probably will not b decided until the expiration of this time limit, believed to be at least three weeks.
 When the German gunboat Geier put into Honolulu, British and Japanese cruisers kept up a night and day vigil outside the harbor and Great Britain through it's ambassador here repeat edly asked the United States govern ment how long time would be given the vessel to make repairs. 1nforma- tion was refused, however, on the ground that to reveal it would be to inform the waiting hostile cruisers and deprive the Geier of the usual oppor- tunity afforded under the rules of in ternational law for escape from neu- tral port.
 If the Eitel decides not to intern, but to renew her cruise, the United States will keep secret not only the time limit for repairs but the hour of her de- parture Officials think the vessel eventually will intern. although they are puzzled by the decision Of the com mander to have the repairs made, be- cause, if the ship does not put to sea, it will be useless 10 pay for temporary repairs.

verdict. Thaw, who had been wait ing word from the jury room in the sheriff'S office directly above the court room was taken back to his cell in the Tombs prison to spend the night. In the hope that a verdict ultimate 1y might be found the presiding su- preme court justice and attorneys for both sides remained in the criminal courts building until 11.22 o'clock. Then Justice Page caused the announcement to be made that he had decided to de- clare a recess until 10 o'clock tOnor- row morning. Thaw will be brought back from the Tombs to the sheriff's
 office at that time.
 The jurors, it was made apparent by questions asked when it's foreman came in for instructions, seemed to be divided on the question as to what ThaW'sh legal status was at the time of his escape and what part his belief that he had a right to flee should play in the determination of a verdict. The case went to the jury late this afternoon after day spent in com pleting the cross examination of Thaw and the delivery of closing addresses to the jury by attorneys for all the interests concerned. In his charge to the jury the presiding justice said that the question of Thaw's sanity should enter into the case only in so far as he might be shown to have a
 mental capacity and the intention to enter into a criminal act.
 At 11.22 o'clock the jury was ordered | locked up for the night and a recess | of court was declared until 10 o'clock l tomorrow morning,

 GAIN FOR THE FRENCH.
Abandoned Trenches Because They
 Were Made Useless by Shell Fire.

Berlin. via London, March 12, 9.10 p. m.-Although the French reports for several weeks past have been claiming daily gains in the Champagne region, 1t is said in well informed quarters here that the total gains of the French during the entire battle have been in- significant, amounting to only about 100 metres (about 300 feet) at three different places.
 These positions were abandoned, it is said, because during the long strug- gle the trenches were destroyed by the shell fire and rendered useless. The three places are north of Le Mesnil, north of Beausejour and northeast of Beausejour.
 During the battle from Feb. r to date, it is said the Germans have re- atiEed possession of all other parts of the front where the French have at tempted to breach the line. The Ger mans, moreover, are said to have gained ground at several places.

GERMANY PLAYING
 INTO ITALY'S HANDS
Agrees to Make Territorial Concessions if Germany and Austria Win.

London, March 12.-Authoritative re- ports reaching The Hague from Berlin seem to indicate that Germany, with a view to securing Italy's neutrality, has induced Austria, despite vigorous oppo- sition by Emperor Francis Joseph, to agree to make territorial concessions to Italy if Germany and Austria are vic- torious in the war.
 It is understood, however, that al- though Italy has taken this tentative offer under consideration, no definite agreement has yet been reached. Italy s decision is anxiously awaited in all circles here.
 The German imperial chancellor, Dr. Won Bethmann- -Hollweg, according to Berlin reports, is visiting the German general headquarters at Mezieres and it is therefore unlikely that he will make speech before the reichstag committed

the news that on the entry of the Zapata troops John B. McManus, an American citizen, was murdered-shot down in his home the door of which of the United States. and over which flew the Stars and Stripes.
 Demand for Swift Punishment
 Instant demand was made by the Brazilian minister on behalf of the American government for the punish ment of those guilty of the crime. Af- ter conference between President Wilson and his cabinet, Secretary Bryan telegra phed the Brazilian minis ter, approving of the action he had taken and adding a demand for repara- ton to the family of the victim. The minister was instructed to insist on the early punishment of the offenders and to impress upon the post com mander at Mexico City-General Sala- zar-the seriousness with which the American government viewed the oc- currence.
 Promises Demand Will Be Met.
 The generaI-who is not the same Salazar nor relative of the independ- ent chief who has been conducting an independent movement in northern MeXico-promised that the demands of the United States would be promptly met.
 The occupation of the city by the Za patistas, which was hailed with en- thuSiaSm by the people, was marred by three cases of footing. Official reports said no disorders had occurred and the city was quiet when the last despatch, dated D. m. yesterday, was filed. It said the killing of McManus at first alarmed the foreigners, but when it be- came apparent that the attack on Me Manus was an isolated case, and that assurances had been given for the pro- lection of foreigners generally, the ten sion was relieved.
 The Brazilian minister reported at length in several despatches on the murder.
 Revenge Motive for the Crime. The motive for the crime he ex- plained, was undoubtedly revenge for killing of two Zapata soldiers by Me Manus when their forces last left Mex ico City. The minister said that when the Zapatistas withdrew several weeks ago, after the departure of General Gutierrez, some of them attempted to loot the home of McManus. The lat ter stood on his doorstep and though 1t was never definitely established who fed because fo the arrival of Carranza forces two were left behind dead. Apprehensive of what might be his fate on the return of the Zapata forces,
 McManus induced the Brazilian minis ter to seal his door with a coat of arms of the United States and hoisted an American flag over his home. Ap- parently, the minister reported, Me Manus was killed by a simultaneous volley, for the shots were fired from a short distance and his hat was filled with bullet holes.
 No One Witnessed Shooting. Previously the American had taken precautions to send his wife and fam ily to the home of friends and no one, so far as is known, witnessed the shooting.
