London, May 8th-Ihe s. s. "Lusitania"
wne torpedoed twice, without warming, vt
2.33 on Friday afternoon, when ten miles
off Kinsale. The first struck forward of the
boiler room and The second struck the en-
CINE room, III the vicinity of the first aud
fourth tunnels. She listed quickly, binder
ing the launching of the bouts on one side,
aud sank rapidly, in from is to 30 minutes.
The maximum number reported saved is
700. She Carried 290 saloon passengers,
COZ second class, 361 third class, and a crew
of 665. 695 persons have been landed ut
Queenstown. including 100 who died after
being rescued, and there are many hospital
cases.
Among those apparently lost are Mr..
Alfred Vanderbilt, the multimilllon IRE, Mr..
F%rohman, the well known dramptist, Mr..
Klein, the actoG, aud many otner socially
prominent persons. The total number Of
Americans on board is stated to have been
1873. Thirty-six passengers were transferred
from the SIS. "Cameroniu".
Captain Turner and the 1st and 2nd ofic-
ers IRE among the survivors. Other passen-
gers on board were Sir Hugh Lane, MI. F.S.
Pearson, President of the Engineering Com
p"uy, Indy Allan and daughter Of Montreal,
General Lassetters, wife and daughter and
Lady MacWorth Of Cardiff.
The loss is estimated at 92, 000, 600.
The British Press regards The incident as
q challenge to the United States, but re
serves its suggestions, the United States
being the best guardian of its own honour
and the lives of its citizens. 0 her British
comment says that Germany is proceeding
from infany to infamy, until the world rises
against her.

Lord Rosebery said he had no words for
such a deed.
New York, May 8th-Mr. Roosevelt said
1T is not merely piracy on /" scale y"sier
than the old time pirates ever practlced, 1t
is warfare upon innocent men, women ana
children. 1t is ncoucieyable that we can
refrain from action which we owe to humAul-
ty and to our national self respect.
President Wilson is reserved, under the
sense OF responsibility, but there is Il rumOur
that Congress will be summoned.
The German Embassy repeats It's cautionary
advertisement against snilln8 under the BrI-
fish Atg and all me warned that they assume
their own risks.
1t is useless to quote American newspa-
pers, al being like the other and the British,
the worlds sentiment being unanimous.
The loss of the "Lu~itunla" has apparently
had little effect upon commerce. The "Irans-
yIyania' has suiled, only about a dozen per
sons having cancelled their bookings, and
jhe "AInuretuuiu" hns restored the Cunari
schedule aud will sail according to previous
arrangements.

the amended lists, the demands Of which
have been reserved for future discussion. The
principal provisions of group five cover the
appointment of Jupanese military political
advisor for China, aud Japanese supervision
of the manufacture or purchase by China of
munitions of war. The influence Of the
Elder Statesmen was for concessions to
China. in the belief that the interests of

vluciug the Powers that Japan was guided
by a spirit of Justice and Il desire for pence
in the Orient. A diplomatic settlement IS
now more probable.

Advices from Berlin state that Admiral
Won IirpItz is receiving hundreds of tele-
grams of congratulations for the sinking Of
the "Lusitauia", which is considered by the
Germans as u retort to the destruction of
Admiral Won Specs squadron off the Fnlk-
land Islands. The popular reception of the
deed was a mixture Of amazpment, enthuSi-
asm and pride i'll the plNck and daring Of The
crew of the submarine. The newspapers
print the announcement in colossal type and
hail it as a triumph for the German naval
policy. Regret is expressed that Americans
have been killed, but it is regarded as their
own fault in neglecting the advertised warn
ing. England is thought to have got her

stated.

auxiliary cruiser and a man Of war. Ger
many wanted TO do anything reasonable
for the protection of Americans, but was ia
able to protect them against themselves, and
it was necessary to defend lhe nations of
Austria and Germany against England's un-
lawful warfare for the starvation of 120, Gee,
900 people.
Similar sentiments are expressed by Ger
man Americans in the United States, for
example, MIR. Ridder. editor Of the New

AIvices from Washington state that
Nj. Gerard, UNITED States Ambassador
ut Berlin, has been instructed 10 ask
Germany for IL report Of the facts, pre-
fernbly upon the testimony Of the COM
mander of the submarine. The Cabinet
has been summoned for II constitution, but
the suggestion TO summon Congress is d.
precnted. The crisis is being treated with
gravity and reserve by all in official positions,
for example, Mr.. Dunno, Governor of the
state of Illinois, has issued u formal appeal
for calmuess IN HE expression of any views
calculated to forestnll or embnrrn9s the
officials charged with the responsibility for
