SHIP SUNK WITH 25 AMERICANS
 ABOARD
Fate of Those Aboard Italian Steamer Sunk Of Spanish Coast While Trying to Escape Not Known.
 1
(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. D. Late in the day a brief consular dispatch an nounced the sinking of the Italian steamer Palermo, with p Americans aboard, off the Spanish coast. IL gave no details and news dispatches show ing that the ship. armed with defense guns and loaded with horses and mu- nitions for the allies, was shelled be- fore being torpedoed, led officials to believe that she had attempted to es- cape after being warned and thus had lost her immunity from attack.
 A preliminary reply from Germany to the request for information con- corning the sinking of the British liner Arabia was cabled to the state department today by the American embassy at Berlin. It said a submar- inc commander had reported attack ing the ship believing her to be an armed transport, and asked that the United States inform the imperial government of any evidence it might have about the incident and the char acter of the vessel.
 Secretary Lansing declined to com ment upon the communication fur ther than to say that it added nothing to the information in the hands of the American government. A similar sit uation exists in regard to the horse ship Marina. on which six Americans lost their lives and the character of which is in dispute

In Rumania the forces of the Cen tral Powers are driving appreciably nearer Bucharest. Already almost en- compassed on the south and south west by the invaders, the capital ap- parently is being rapidly approached from the west and the northwest, with the Rumanians and Russians nowhere able to stem the tide. The encircling movement in the northwest from the regions of Tergovistea and Petrosita is dangerously threatening the town of Ploechti, and the only railroad run ming from Bucharest except east. In- dications are that the Teutons soon will be at the doors of the capital
 In the northwest, from the Carpa- thians to the Moldavian frontier re- zion, the Russian offensive is making little progress.
 On the Macedonia front east of the Cerna River the Serbians north of Grunishte and Budimirtsa have taken additional positions from the Bulgari- ans. The Bulgarians in this region are said to be retreating.
 Artillery duels and various small attacks by infantry continue on the western front in France and Belgium

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 5.-One mil lion cartridges for the Mexican gov ernment, said to have been shipped from New York by way of Vera Cruz, reached here today. According to in- formation from Vera Cruz, the cart ridges were shipped in disguised pack ages and the breaking of a sling which scattered the cartridges over the wharf, exposed the shipment.
 It is further reported that the Am erican consul at Vera Cruz, w. w. Canada. instituted an investigation of the matter and the unloading of the steamer was temporarily delayed.

(sy Review Leased Wire ]

LONDON, Dec. 5-The govern ment crisis found solution to- night, which up to the hour of its announcement was considered the least probable of practical alterna- tives. Herbert H. Asquith resigned the premiership, which he has held through eight stormy years of domestic and foreign history. The Unionist leader. Andrew Bon- ar Law, was summoned to the pal ace immediately after Mir. Asquith had departed and the king offered him the prime minister's commis- sion, which he had just accepted from Mir. Asquith's hands.
 Law May Decline.
 No announcement regarding Mir Bonar Laws decision has been made and there are some doubts whether he will accept the heavy responsibility. If he declines it is considered that the honor will fall to David Lloyd George.
 To Speed Up War.
 The continuation of the coalition cabinet with some changes in it's mem bership and the speeding up of the war management will be the policy in either event.
 Oowned By Rivals
 Mir. Asquith explained that he was faced by almost insuperable obstacles to the reconciliation of the conflicting interests and intended to tender his resignation. Almost immediately the premier drove to the palace and had an audience with the king
 It now is remarked that when MT. Asquith was asked in the House of Commons yesterday if food dictator had been appointed he replied sharply {: ''l don't like a iood dictator"
 There is much talk of the possibili. ties of a general election. MT Bonar Law would first form a cabinet, if he takes office. as it is necessary that the government be carried on, and then appeal to the electors for ratification of his administration.

Bisbee daily review., 1916-12-06

He was just about to begin a sentence:
 'The present laws governing the island and regulating the rights and privileges of its people are not just" when over the rail of the galleries where sat party of woman suffrage leaders, there fiuttered down about the heads of an amazed assemblage of senators and representative a silken ban ner of suffrage yellow, bearing in great black letters the inscrip- tion:
 President Wilson, what will you do for woman sugrage?"
 A Silent Protest. The suffragists said afterward it was their protest against the Presi dents plea with Congress for breeder suffrage for the men of Porto Rico while he did not mention their own cause in his address.
 President Smiles.
 As the banner rippled down, the suffragists sat smiling and unper- turbed watching the effort. A diminutive page, raised on the arms of men directly under the galleries, grasped the edge of the banner and snatched it down. President Wilson, attracted by the stir, looked up from his reading and, apparently taking in the situation at glance, smiled broad Iy and without hesitation or inter ruption turned his eyes back to his manuscript and continued his address to it's end without further demonstrations.
 Police and gallery guards scurried to where the women were seated but contented themselves with watching the party, as if to prevent further outbreak.
 When the joint session was over the suffragists filed out unmolested by the police who said they had no or ders other than to prevent any further infringement of the rules of the House The banner remained a trophy with the sergeant at arms

 As it turned out, the woman had their plans laid with precision and sprung their coup almost on the sec ond. Evidently in possession of an advance copy of the Presidents ad- dress. they had timed their document with the speed they estimated he would reach the Porto Rico item in the address.

 HIS MESSAGE.
 WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.-President Wilson's address was wholly devoted to domestic subjects, principally the problem of railway legislation.
 The President not only reviewed his recommendation for legislation to pre- vent a nation wide railway strike or lockout before there has been oppor. tunity for investigation, but defended it against the attack of organized labor as nothing arbitrary or unjust and the "justifiable safeguarding by society of the necessary processes of it's very life'
