LONDON, Aug. 21.-Numbers of the survivors of the Arabic have reached Liverpool and London and all those who have been seen confirm Captain Finch's assertion that no warning was given by the submarine and that the frothy streak made by the on coming torpedo was the first intimation of inn pending disaster.
 We're done boys: they've got us this time," Captain Finch shouted to hts officers on the bridge and the next minute according to survivors the tor pedo struck the vessel and tore her side and bottom out.
 The fumes from the explosion were suffocating, survivors said and a great column of water rose high in the air and descended on the deck with a roar. Strong men were knocked down and washed overheard, passengers declared and two women left dead on deck
 The only hint heard here that the Arabic was under convoy which came from an American, has been contra dicted by the categorical denial of the British government that the Arabic wa being conveyed when torpedoed. A Lumber of the passengers also attest ed the fact that the steamers boats

More Marines May Be Sent To Haiti
 To Preserve OrdeY
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHI

WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.-A bat talion Of marines-three hundred and fifty men-at Annapolis. were or dered prepared to embark for Haiti if Rear Admiral Caperton calls for more forces. They will probably go on the cruiser Tennessee now on the way north from Port Au Prince. The possibility of further trouble with the natives inland from Cape Haitien is believed to have caused the order for the marines to keep in readiness.
 officials made i" plain that Ad- miral Caperton had not definitely asked for endorsements and that the Tennessee would not go to Annapolis unless further requests come from the admiral
 The remnant of the revolutionary army left Cape >Haitien after refus ing to disarm. with a threat that they would repel an invasion of Haitien soil by armed resistance. Admiral Caperton wished to have a sufficient force available for duty in the north to control the situation. slight disturbance was reported by Caper- ton as having taken place at Port Au Prince last night. The message said that quiet prevailed today

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

VERONA. Aug. 21-Italian artil- lery is now hammering at the out posts of the great entrenched camp of Trent. one of these outposts is Mount Panarotta. ten miles southeast of Trent. It is more than 6,000 feet high
 In attempting an advance on Trent the Italian forces h,ve before them a long difficult task. From the top of Mount Panatotta down to the Tenna Pass is a succession of forts and entrenchments for more than 20 miles, connected with underground passages built last September. The gigantic defenses of the Austrians around Trent, extend from the Stel- Vio Pass near the Swiss frontier to Lake GOrda, up to Carnic Alps. They form 9 barrier more than two hun dred miles long. which nature herself erected as a most formidable bull wark.

Denmark and Whole of Scandinavia Indignant as Result of Attack by Ger man Destroycrs on Brit ish Underwater Craft
M FEN IN WATER
 ARE FIRED AT
Not Until Danish Destroy CTS Get Between Germans and Their Prey Do the Teutons Cease Firing at Struggling Britishers
ASSOCIATED PRESS DrsPATcH1

LONDON, Aug Mathematician questions including those between
 the United States and Germany from
 the sinking of the ArabIc with the
 loss of two American lives and be-
 tween the United States and the all
 lies as d result of the declaration
 of cotton as an absolute contraband
 loom large in the news of the day. Alongside of these questions is the indignation aroused in Denmark and
 the whole of Scandinavia as d re-
 suit of the attack by German de- stroyers on the British submarine E-13 after she was stranded on a Danish island.
 A British official account says the destroyers fired at the men in the water with their machine guns and shrapnel. Not until the Danish de- stroyers got between the Germans and their prey did they cease firing.
 Activity of the German submarines also brought d protest from the Spanish government as a result of the sinking of two Spanish vessels.
 Beyond reports of naval engage ment in the Gulf of Riga, in which according to Berlin, the Russians lOSl pilt utolA Oy tis anu lNp SNIl- boats and the Germans one destroyer while each had other vessels dam aged, there was little news from the fighting areas.
 There continues much speculation as what action. if any. the United States will take with regard to the Arabic, especially as evidence from the officers and passengers goes to Sbpu- that ba biq was mt voyed and had received no warning of an impending attack. It is as serted that inasmuch as no one aboard the steamer saw the sub marine there could have been no intention on the part of Captain Finch to ram the underwater craft.
 Tn respect to the declaration of cotton as contraband 1t is expected here that America will offer less se- rious objection to this step than to the order-in council under which the cargoes from America are now dealt with. Regarding the attack on the E-13 the British official account and reports from Copenhagen say the sub marine went aground on Thursday morning. The officers and crew were busy trying to refloat her under or ders from the Danish naval authori- ties, who had given twenty -four hours in which to accomplish the task when the German destroyers ap- peared on the scene. One of them l after firing a torpedo which missed | it's mark is reported to have opened i fire with guns even after the crew ! had abandoned the submarine which | was afire. Half of the thirty mem | bers of the crew were killed and the | bodies will be sent home on a Dan i ish warship.

TIME NEARING FOR TIE HOP|
 SNAKE DANCE
Week of Weird Serpent Fes- tival Opens on Mesa Amid Painted Desert - Big Crowd of Spectators This Season
Especial to The Republican,

FLAGSTAFF, Aug. 21-The annual nine-day celebration If the Hopi In Gians in northern Arizona is under way. Feasting and weird ceremonies to beseech the gods for good crops have begun, and preparations have been made for the great snake dance, which is the final event and the most spectacular of all, during which the dancers carry live snakes in their mouths.
 The HoDis hold their ceremonies during the end of August. The In- dians of the principal Hopi pueblos of Arizona gather for the event. Snake priests, known as sustainers, carriers and collectors, or, rather to this effect in the Indian language, form the principal figures in the final rites, which are always held out of doors. A few maidens are also called upon to perform, their part being to scatter sacred meal on the partTci- pants as a sacrifice to the gods.
 The dance takes place in the plaza at the village, on one side of which is built a bower of cottonwood branches, in which the keeper of the snakes sits with jars containing ven- OIuOUS SpGtItS- l He ISplll6S etIG ildllG- ed out by him to the carriers" The dancers march in file around the plaza, each stamping on a small board set in the ground as a notifica- tion to the gods of the underworld that a ceremony is about to begin. Then they assume their places in two files facing each other. They chant and sway for a few minutes, shaking their rattles.
 The file of snake priests then breaks up and they dance around in a circle, receiving the snakes as they pass the brush house, the "carrier''

Reasonable Doubt as to Conditions Attending the Sinking of Arabic Causes Government to Proceed With Deliberation
WILL GIVE GERMANY
 CHANGE TO EXPLAIN
At Least a Fortnight Will Elapse Before Definite Action is Taken, Say Of ficials - Press Reports Are Censored
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspArcHJ

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Rea son. able doubt as to the conditions sur rounding the sinking of the liner Arabic has determined the Washing ton government to proceed with de- liberation in it's purpose to fix the responsibility for the loss of at least two American lives and the jeopar- dizing of a score of others. There fore Germany will be given an op- portunity to explain this last sea tragedy, and if possible show whether conditions justified the submarine commander in sinking the liner in apparent disregard of the solemn protest of the United States. The president and Secretary Lansing con- ferred on the Arabic situation with the text of the two messages from Ambassador Page giving details of the disaster so far as gathered from American survivors.
 Some officials thought there were inconsistencies in statements of some survivors as to what actually took place. They also noted the action of British news censors in suppressing press dispatches dealing with the de- tails of the tragedy as an indication that there might be some condition surrounding the sinking of the Ara bic, which might materially qualify the first judgment passed upon the work of the German submarine com- mander.
 At any rate official dispatches re- ferred only to the casualty list and threw no light on the very features of the tragedy on which the state department seeks information. Con sidering the state departments in- struction yesterday to the vice con- sul at Queenstown to secure the af- fidavits of all the American passen- gers, and if possible from the officers of the Arabic, some disappointment was expressed that so far only one such affidavit had been forthcoming, in the form of a statement from Mrs. Zella COvington, which. was not com plete.
 Ambassador Page and American consular officials in England have been instructed to supplement their reports with all available information bearing on the physical results of the tragedy. The reports will be

Roosevelt Declares Ger many's Actions Arrogant Answers to Our Timiditv and Weakness Repeatedly Shown
WOULD NOT BREAK
 DIPLOAAIIC BONDS
Germanv. He Asserts, Cares Nothing for the Mere Severance of Relations Laments Delay iu Mak- ing Preparations
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

OYSTER BAY. Aug. 21.-Colonel Roosevelt issued d statement tonight in which he says he earnestly hopes the administration will not sever diplomatic relations with Germany. since every note since last February had repeated nothing but weakness, and timidity on our side
 He said the German action was merely the arrogant answers this weakness inspired and that Germany will care nothing for the mere sev- erance of diplomatic relations.
 The time for words on the part of this nation has long passed, the statement concludes, and it is incon- ceivable to American citizens who claim to be interiors of the tradi- tions of Washington and Lincoln that our governmental representatives shall not see that the time for deeds has come What has just occurred is fresh and lamentable proof of the unwisdom of our people in not hav- ing insisted upon beginning active military preparedness thirteen months ago"
 The statement in full follows:
 T see this suggested in a paper, that the German answer to our last note, mat lS. tlt SlnkliS Ol the Arabic by a German submarine and the consequent murder of certain American citizens, be adequately met by the administration dismissing Ambassador Bernstorff and severing diplomatic relations with Germany. I earnestly hope the administration will not take this view. for to do so would be fresh sacrifice of American hon or and interest.
 The presidents note to Germany in February last was an excellent note. if it only had been lived up to- But every subsequent note has repre- sented nothing but weakness and timidity on our side; the sinking of the Lusftania and the Arabic, and attacks on the Gulflight and Falaba, and all similar incidents that occur red represent the arrogant answers which this weakness inspired. Ger many will care nothing for the mere severance of diplomatic relations.
 The time for words on the part of this nation has long passed; it is inconceivable to American citizens, who claim to he interiors of the tra- ditions of Washington and Lincoln, that our governmental representatives shall not see that the time for deeds has come. What has just occurred is fresh and Iamentable proof of the unwisdom of our people not having insisted on beginning active military preparedness thirteen months ago.
