LANSING AND CORRESPONDENTS.

Washington, April 25:-Secretary
Lansing in conference today with
newspaper correspondents depre-
Gated the publication of reports that
official dispatches to the State de-
partment from Ambassador Gerard
indicated that Germany might make
concessions to the United States in
reply to the note demanding imme-
diate abandonment of her present
methods of her submarine warfare.
He said official dispatches to the de-
partment from Berlin contained only
quotations Of newspaper opinions,
similar in many cases to the edi-
torial excerpts ca5led to this coun-
try in press dispatches.
The last dispatch received from
Mr. Gerard, Secretary Lansing said,
was dated before the imperial chan
cellor, DR. Won Bethmann-Hollweg,
had returned from a visit to the
Emperor at the front. and had con-
ferred with the ambassador.

Martial law has been declared in
the city and county of Dublin as
result of the revolutionary outbreak
in Dublin city. The lord lieutenant
of Ireland reports the situation in
Dublin as satisfactory and says pro-

Four persons were killed and twelve

Berlin reports that in this raid the
steamer King Stephen was SINK and
her crew captured, and that a de-
stroyer and scout boat were sunk
and cruiser set on fire. The Ger
mans suffered no losses. Great Brit
ain has admitted that two cruisers
and a destroyer were hit, but said no
vessel was sunk. 1t was the King
Stephen that recently refused to give
aid to the Zeppelin Liz when the
airship was adrift in the North sea.
A report from Berlin also says
there was another engagement be-
tween British and German warcraft
off the coast of Flanders Tuesday, in
which a British destroyer was dam
aged and an auxiliary steamer sunk,
the crew of the latter being made
prisoner.

GERMANY WOULD
AVOID BREAK.
MAY DELAY REPLY TO WILSON'S
"ULTIMATUM" UNTIL SUBMA-
RINE DISPUTE CAN BE SETTLED.

Berlin, April 25:-(Via London. y
American Ambassador Gerard is to
bave another conferene with DR. Won
Bethmann.Hollweg this evening, pri-
or to the imperial chancellor's de-
parture for great headquarters.
At the foreign office the CORES
pondents were informed that the
chancellor was deyoting the holidays
to conferences on the submarine
issuelwith the departments concern
ed. These have not yet been con-
cluded.
The main purpose of the imperial
chancellor's flying trip to Berlin has
been. as is evident from his pro-
tracted conference with Ambassador
Gerard on Monday, the desire to OBJ
tain as clear an idea as possible of
the attitude and policy of the Ameri-
can Government, what, if anything,
lies behind and beyond the Ameri-
can note, and what measures are
necessary to satisfy the American
demand before the momentous decis-
ion is taken by the Emperor and his
advisers.
The crisis has come to a head in
the midst of the Easter holidays,
season playing a highly important
role in German life. when public
men are widely scattered from Ber-
lin; and their views. which the En-
peror would naturally wish to ascer-
tain before reaching a decision. not
quickly assembled. Thus the formu-
lation of a reply to the American
note, which presumably would spell
war or peace, cannot be rushed.
So far as Germany is concerned
there still is possibility of settle
ment, and hope has not been aban-
doned here. But the Germans ap-
pear to wish to know before giving
their answer what sort Of answer
would satisfy the United States,
whether assurances of a properly
conducted submarine would be ade-
quate and whether concessions now
would be the prelude to more de-
mands later.
1t can be stated positively that DR.
Won Bethmann-Hollweg and his ad.
visers realize fully the disadvantages
of a break with the United States,
and that they do not desire it if it
can be avoided. But they feel, if a
break must come ultimately, it would
be useless to indulge in concessions
and compromises now, and that they
might as we'll have the matter set
tied.
During the crisis there has been an
utter absence of unfriendfy demon
strations against Americans.

COTTON DECLINES ON
 .SAGG|NG MOVEMENT
Market Closed Steady at a Net Loss of 4 to 6
 Points

New Orleans, January 13.-The cotton market here again moved within a nar- row range today, influences about balanc- ing and no developments arising to stim- ulate fresh operations of consequence, either for a rise or a fall in prices. In the early trading the market stood to points up, in response to better cables than due. This was followed by sagging movement in which the trading months were put , to points under yesterday s last quotations. The close was steady to net loss of to points.
 The embargo declared on freight ship ments by an eastern railroad system was considered a bearing influence and led to moderate selling on the theory that 1t might curtail supplies of raw material at New England mill points, but this feature was offset by reports of small offerings of spots in the interior ad firm ness of prices.
 Officials of the local cotton exchange today telegraphed the state department, urging that an effort be made to induce Italy to release sufficient vessels of those she has communicated to relieve the congestion in cotton shipping which is declared to exist between the south and Italy.
