Washington Officials
Belittle Revolt Story

Washington, July 23.-Oficials con-

Stir up a revolt in the Islands. AT the

Quoted his operations from the safe
distance of Hong Kong.
Ricarte and all other such agitators

revolt. -,

VIERECK ACCUSES
BRITAIN'S ENVOY
Spring Rice Conspirine
Against Austria Here,
He Tells Lansing.

George Sylvester Viereck. editor OF
the "Fatherland." filed charges yester-
day with the State Department against
Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British Am
bassador. In long article IN the
"Fatherland," Mr.. Viereck accuses the
British Ambassador of attempting to
foster seditiOn against friendly ma
ton, Austria Hungary, in the United
States" and with using the territory
of the United States as hostile base
for recruiting on large scale in the
interests of the Allies"
Last week Sir Cecil Spring-Rice
lodged a complaint with the State De
partment against the "Fatherland,"
charging that its editors were involved
in conspiracy, or had guilty fore
knowledge of a consr.r acy designed 70
send British ships 20 the bottom. Mr.
Viereck's complaint to the State De-
partment is, he admits, retaliation.
In his article in the "Fatherland'
Mr. Niereck says:
"The Fatherland' is aware that Brit
ish agents are working throughout the
United States to secure recruits for the
British army. 1t is aware that agents
of other countries, affiliated with or
working under the British representa-
tives in Washington, are seeking TO en-
list recruits among other nationalities
or the armies of the Allies. II IS
aware, further, that these agents, in
criminal violation of the neutrality of
the United States, are seeking to turn
subjects of Austria Hungary against
their sovereign nation and TO induce
them treacherously to repudiate their
national duties and obligations and 10
serve in the armies of Great Britain"
Mr.. Viereck charges further that re-
cruitng campaigns have been going on
among Montenegrins, Croatians, Poles
and other British allies, under the di-
Tection and with the assistance of the
British Embassy.
In his letter to Secretary Lansing,
MIR. Niereck said:
Last week his excellency, the British
filed charges against the
'Fatherland' with the State Depart
ment. To these charges have already
replied.
at seems to me that the activities
of the friends of Sir Cecil Spring
Rice preSuppose guilty foreknow-
ledge if not completely on his part.
Let me add that the material here
presented has been collected painstak-
inply and in good faith
After presenting what he claims TO
be the evidence TO substantiate the
charges against the British Ambassa-
dor. Mr.. Niereck asks:
shall Sir Cecil Spring Rice be given
his passports? Do the dubious activi-
ties of his excellency, the British AM
bassadors friends not call for sum
mary action by the Administration?
Will the Department of Justice not in
vestigate?"

Hostile Intent-"Start-
ed 1t for Fun"

BARRICADE DECKS

Bring Down "Aeros," Safe
Behind DefenceS.

To the crew of the steamer Arabic, OF
the White Star Line, which arrived
here last night after an uneventiui
VOYAGE from Liverpool, is due credit
for the organization OF the first gun
club on a transatlantic liner.
"Merely for our own entertainment
and Measure" was the purpose
ascribed to the club by the crew. rms
il a merchant vessel, and of course we
could not organize into rifle corps
as means of defence against SUI
marines" they were careful to explain.
Passengers, however, held different
view of the martial activities OF the
seamen and stewards. .,
"Some of them are expert gunners,
they said, land if submarine were 20
appear within half mile OF the ship
the glass in its periscope would not be
safe"
The first intimation of "gun club
came when the ship was day out OF
Liverpool. Strollers on the deck heard
shots fired from the stern of the vessel.
An alarm ran through the cabins, but
il was dispelled when a passenger re-
turned from scouting expedition and
said the crew was at target practice.
MANY of the passengers made IN lr
way to the stern, where, crouchl-g
behind a barricade of sandbags laced
there as protection against small gun
fire from hostile craft. were hall a
dozen stewards, each armed with Lee
Metford rifle. Being towed hundred
wards astern was a black raft, looking
like a submarine, with a post as a peri
scope.
The stewards took careful aim and
biazed away at the floating object with
all the enthusiasm they might ha
shown had their target really been a
submarine. Standing behind tr
marksman was scorer. pad in hand,
who kept record of the number OF
their shots.
On the second day out further evil
dences of the "gun club" were seen.
A large kite was flown from the stern
of the Arabic, and one by one the crew
took half a dozen shots at the i'm
aginary aeroplane that pursued the
ship. Passengers declared that when
the kite was drawn back to the deck
il was riddled with bullets.

CANAL TRADE NOW PAYS
May Receipts Wipe Out Deficit
and Leave Balance.

Washington, July 23.-Coun'ing only
the cost OF operation, Of civil govern
ment, sanitary work and administra-
tion and the handling OF ships, the
Panama Canal is now on paying
basis, according to official reports.
Receipts for May not only wiped out
the deficit of 500, 4S0, which had grown
since the opening Of the canal trade,
but left a balance of Sl77,799, which
works out a profit Of 4.79 per cent on
the expenditures. As this does not
make any allowance for interest on the
vast sum expended in construction, re-
ceipts from tolls have not yet equalled
expenses.

One of Christmas Eve
Revolt Leaders Stirring
Up Tagalogs.
MANILA OFFICIALS
FULLY PREPARED
Washington Officials Believe
Nothing Serious Can Result
from Agitation.
Tbs Cable TO The Tribune. ]

Manila, July 23.-The Tagalogs Of
Luzon threaten a new instruction.
Carriaga, lieutenant of Ricarte and
one of the leaders of the Christmas Eve
revolt, has been squirting it on. For
six months the authorities have sought
him in vain. He has returned 70 Lu.
zon, and in trips through Laguna and
Batangas has been stirring up disaf-
lection.
The Dimasslang, the secret society
of the Tagalogs, is seething with activ-
ity. After the rigid steps taken at the
time Of the Christmas Eve uprising the
leaders of disaffectiOn on the island
were long inactive, but now another re-
volt is brewing.
Vigorous measures are being taken
to forestal the impending instruction.
Carriage, it is known, plans the capt
ure of Fort Mckinley, and with that
citadel in his hands he hopes for com
plete domination of Luzon. Guards at
the fort have been doubled. and the au-
thorities are taking the greatest pre-
cautions.
None of the officials admit that any
trouble is stirring. Carriaga's visits to
Luzon are certified to by trustworthy
The Ricarte uprising was put down
because the authorities were ready for
it.. The increased guard at Fort Nc
Kinley and the strict precautions point
to similar preparations now.
Ricarte, "the Viper" had mapped out
detailed plans for concerted uprislngs
in Manila and Navotas, ten miles dis
tant. Banished by Governor General
Forbes because ne refused TO take the
oath of allegiance, he had gone TO Hong
Kong, where he prepared for an insur-
rection. But when the bolomen
streamed from their houses they found
the Manila police, reinforced by 10000
regular troops, ready.
Many of the rebels returned to their
homes, but seventy-five gathered in the
Botanical Gardens, where the police
rushed them and arrested several.
The Navotas affair was more success
full. Forty bolomen gathered and tried
to loot the municipal safe and took the
Provisional Governor prisoner. Twenty
were arrested.
