GERMANY'S AC I DISCUSSED BY
 CAB|NE l

WASHINGTON, April II. - A cabi- net meeting was held this afternoon, and when it adjourned it was learned that the administration was as yet uFdecided as to taking definite action in regard to the activities of the Ger man submarines. The president and the members of the cabinet are not confining their deliberations to the sinking of the Sussex alone but are considering the accumulation of cases of the destruction of ships, which have been attributed to the torpedoes of the U-boats since Germany gave this country her assurances that merchant vessels would not be attacked without Aarning. Whatever action the United States may decide on will be based largely on that feature of the matter, and not on the Sussex alone.

TACOMA MERCHANTS WANT THE
 ALASKA MAIL EARLIER.

Tacoma merchants are peeved at what they consider is a decided ad- vantage held by Seattle merchants in regard to the delivery of mails from Alaska.
 The trade and commerce bureau of the Tacoma Commercial Club has taken the matter up and will make strong effort to have the Alaska mails delivered earlier in Tacoma than at present.
 Alaska mails arriving in Seattle at midnight do not reach Tacoma until noon the next day. long after Seattle merchants have received their mail, although it takes less than an hour to cover the distance between the two cities. This gives Seattle merchants decided advantage over their Taco ma brethren. Hence the kick.

COPPER CLAIMS ' ARE SOLD FUR
 S150,O00

The George Francis Rowe Company, composed of capitalists from Seattle Snd Spokane, has purchased twenty two claims on Hidden Creek, about seven miles northwest of Kennecott from the Tjosevig brothers, who have done considerable development work on the property. The amount in volved in the transaction was not made public, but it is supposed to be in the neighborhood of $15O,0OO The new company plans on building a tram across the glacier, work upon which will begin in July
 In this connection it is interesting to note that the Tjosvig brothers, who have been fighting each other for the past seven years, finally agreed to set tie their difficulties and make deal for the sale of this property, which is considered one of the best undevel- oped copper mines in Alaska, and may some day be as big producer as the now famous Bonanza mine.

 PARIS, April II. - The greatest of all the German attacks against Verdun since the drive commenced last Feb ruary, was started when the Teutons let loose their divisions in a general offensive all along the line last Sun day. When the attack commenced the fighting line extended along thir- teen miles of front, but it has gradu- ally lessened until now it is restricted to a two mile front, with all the ac- tivity centering west of the Mouse. The French successfully met the as sauts on the east bank and prevented the Teutons from making further ad- vances. The outcome west of the Mouse is still in the balance, nothing further having been won by the enemy since the French abandoned the vil- lage of BethinCourt because the posi- ton became untenable. Fighting con tinues but the Germans are being held in check. The French infantry east of the river has been particularly for tunate in having the German attacks repulsed largely by the French artil- Iery. The plains east of the river end at the present line of conflict, and the Germans face low hills, which are we'll fortified, and whose guns have an excellent advantage in being able to sweep any charge directed against

Since February 21, when the first attack was launched the Germans have won twenty-five square kilometres of ground west of the Mouse alone, and besides have captured thirty-six thousand French prisoners. These results have fully met the expectations of the general staff, who realize the difficulties of their task, and the higher officers Of

The object of the present operations of the Germans is the positions known as "Le Mort Homme," Deadman's Hill, situated north of ChattancOurt eminence has earned it's name by the dreadful slaughter which has wit messed the fight for it's possession. The Germans have apparently thought the hill in their possession several times, but on each occasion the French have rallied and driven them out. Berlin has previously announced it's capture, but the fact is that the French are still in possession. The Germans can not make further advances west of the Mouse until this hill is captured, and they are bending all their efforts to win the position They have sac rificed enormous numbers of their best troops already in the attempt, and the French believe that they will never be driven out. The French general staff is fully aware of the importance of the position, and is leaving nothing undone to retain the advantage. The fight ragged around the Hill all day yesterday, but night fell with the situation of the two armies unchanged. The Germans lost heavily. The streams of liquid fire were much used by the Germans against the French trenches, but the French have in

 WASHINGTON, April II. - It is unofficially reported that General Villa is dead. The information, which lacks confirmation, was received by Senor Arredondo, the Mexican ambas- sador, from officials of the de facto government at Queretaro. The admin istration refuses to accept the rumors as accurate. although it is pointed out that the circumstances regarding Villas reported injury and the rigors of his long hurried flight across rough country. without decent medical aid, supported in a litter on the shoulders of his men, in places where no wagon could go, and transported by rude carriage over rough trails, gives color to the report of his death.

 President Diaz has just issued an announcement through the press, and says he will make 1t official by a pro clamation in the Official Gazette, that "it has been the basis of my program of government to restore in Nicaragua all the republican practices To that end, he continues, the most important is the succession of one-term presi- dents in the executive power, selected by popular will.
 As the presidential election in Nj caragua occurs October l next, and as politics are warming and the parties are gathering themselves together, this announcement is most significant. The present generation (eXcept the older people who were active before 1885 know nothing of a popular discussion of candidates for the presidency, of a free registration of voters, or of any expression of the popular will.
