WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.--Secretary

many had disavowed the sinking OF
the Arabic and was prepared to pay
indemnity for the American lives lost.
Secretary Lansing gave out the
text of letter received today from
Count Won ernstorff, the German am
bassador. which was as follows:
MY Dear Mr.. Secretary; Prompted by
tho desire to reach satisfactory agree
ment with regard to the Arabic incident,
my government has given me the fol-
lowing instructions;
"rhe orders issued by his majesty. the
emperor. to the commanders OF the Ger
man submarines. of which notified you
on a previous occasion, has peen made so
stringent that the recurrence OF incidents
similar TO the Arabic case Is considered
out OF the question.
40 Ssvown Act.
According to the report OF Commander
Schneider of the submarine which sank
the Arabic. and his affidavit. as we'll as
those OF his men. Herr Schneider was
convinced that the Arabic intended to
ram the submarine.
ION the other hand the imperial gov
ernment does not doubt the good faith
of the affidavit OF the British officers OF
the Arabic. according 90 which the Ara
bic did not intend to ram the submarine.
The attack OF the submarine was under
taken against the instructions issued to
the commander The imperial govern
ment regrets and disavows this act and
l. a.l.s
cordlngly.
Under these circumstances my govern
ment Is prepared 10 ray an indemnity
for American lives. which TO its deep
regret. have been lost ON the Arabic. I
am authorized to negotiate with you
about the amount OF this indemnity.
"I remain, my dear Mr.. Lansing. yours
very sincerely.

Secretary Lansing said he would make
no comment on the ambassadors let
ter. as he conaldered the text spoke itself.
In&smuch as the ambassador 70 acting
with the fullest powers conferred upon
him by the Berlin foreign office his rep

In the absence of official comment. tho
ambassadors letter was generally re-
garded as signalizlng a completely sue
cessful outcome for the principles for
which President Wilson has contended
In the submarine warfare controversy.
which at least twice brought Germany
and the United States to the brink OF
a break I'm diplomatic relations.
Inasmuch as the Washington govern
ment has contended that the Arabic case
must first be settled before II could con-

out OF the sinking OF the steamship Lusi-
tania, for which Germany has offered
TO pay. IL Is believed that feature OF the

me to help him again. but I turned a

"Not long after ] had occasion to
visit Sing Sing. and while there I was
informed that this man, whom we Will
call James, had committed an assault

which was the cause Of the assault on
his fellow prisoner.

James when l received a letter one
