| Washington, Aug. disappearing that
General Carranza had bought the vessel

Vera Cruz, the justice and treasury de.
partments were holding the American
schooner Isadore at Pensacola yesterday,
pending investigation.
The vessel was detained under section
5,2s3 of the revised federal statutes, deal
ing with neutrality, which provides a
$4,000 fine, confscation of the vessel and
three years Imprisonment for anyone
who purchases and equips an American
ship with the intention OF using it
against any friendly state or people.
This marks the distinction between
filibustering expedition and a vessel

the vessel itself be used against nations
with which the United States are at
peace.

formation to Secretary Daniels which
resulted in the issuance of instructions
to Captain Bullard, the naval officer on

up the censorship at Sayville and to re-

1t was discovered that messages of

OBJECT WAS TO

Report Was Directed to Won
Bethmann-Holl-
veg

New York, Aug. l9--While German
papers and even German government Of
fcials were declaiming against the allies
prohibition on German trade with Amer
lea, as brought about under the orders
in council OF last March, secret agent
of the German government, in report
to the imperial German chancellor, urged
that Germany secretly hold up such sup
plies as Britain had decided to allow to
90 through, in the expectation that such
a step would enlarge the breach caused
by the results OF the allies blockade.
The products, the stoppage OF which
would particularly arouse American man
ufacturers, were chiefly dyestuffs for
which America had long been almost
solely dependent on Germany, and this
is especially mentioned in the above men
toned report A second disclosure of
the New York World shows a fund of
$l,l00,000 placed at the disposal of the
German ambassador at Washington,
Count Bernstorff. secured by 100000 in
imperial treasury notes. The order is
signed Secret Government Council" The
purposes to which this sum was to be de-
voted are not disclosed. Certainly they
could not have been for the ordinary ex-
penditures of the embassy. From the
Providence Journal comes the announce
ment that proofs have been submitted by
that paper to government officials re-
garding a German system of espionage
in the United States and also that map
prepared by the German foreign Office in
dicating positions for the establishment |
OF radio stations in the Philippines has
been sent to Washington. These stations
were to be constructed by German com
pany but ostensibly to meet the needs of
the United States government. A state
ment by Samuel Gompers indicated his
belief that a certain foreign govern
ment" had attempted TO stir up labor
troubles on a large scale and that these
plans had been averted only by the recti-
tude of the labor union officials as a
whole. Mr.. Gompers calls for a rigid in.
vestigation of the activities of such for

CONFIRMS STEEL RAIL
ORDER FROM RUSSIA
Sixty-Five Thousand Tons Are Requisi-

Steel Corporation.

New York, Aug. l9.--United States
Steel corporation officials confirmed yes
terday report that an order for $4,000
tons of steel rails had been received from
the Russian government, presumably for
use in the further construction of the
trans-Siberian road. Additional orders
for 10000 tons are said to have been
placed with the Pennsylvania Steel Co.
and its subsidiary, the Maryland Steel
Co. The amount involved is not dis
closed but the price is believed to be in
excess OF the s2s per ton rate paid by
American roads.
