ming the gauntlet of innumerable dan.
gers from mines, sea-sweepers and
enemy warships, and bringing a cargo
of dyestuffs, chemicals and mail esti-
mated at $50 tons, the German under
sea merchantmen, the Deutschland,
quietly slipped into Chesapeake Bay
Sunday morning at 1:45. 1t was the
completion of 4,000-mile sea voyage
for the craft, the longest and most
hazardous ever attempted by any SUBJ
marine. Three hours later, led by the
tug Thomas F. Timmins, the little
vessel with a record Of 13 days of
mysterious vigil OFF the Virginia capes,
the great submarine began the last
leg of her voyage, up the Chesapeake
Bay.
and following in her wake with all
the speed to be ooaxed from her pow
erful boilers, the coast guard Onon-
daga dashed up the bay.
On board the Onondaga is Collector
Norman Hamilton of Norfolk and a
number of newspaper men. Whether
or not Mr.. Hamilton has orders is
not known. Some believe that the
Onondaga undertook the chase of the
Deutschland at the request Of Mr..
Hamilton and that he and not Cap
tain Chiswell is under orders.
No Torpedo Tubes.
The Deutschland carries, mounted
in her coming tower, two small guns,
of about three-fnch caliber. There
were no evidences of torpedo tubes.
She is also equipped with a bridge and
powered by two Deisel engines, of the
latest type. The boat is capable OF
submerging in less than two minutes.
On the surface of the water the sub
mersible has a speed of from two to
three knots an hour more than the
average merchant steamer.
According TO Pilot Fred Cooke, of
the Virginia Pilots Association, the
first American to board the Deutsch.
land after she arrived on this side Of
the Atlantic the crew wore regula-
ton uniforms of German merchant,
men seamen. No flag was displayed
when the Deutschland first appeared
off the capes. Later, when inside the
bay, the German merchantman's en-
sign was raised.
Captain Cooke said the commander
If the Deutschland made no effort to
conceal anything and was extremely
rank in stating his mission to the |
Tinted States that Of insfifuffuc an

DEMOCRATS AIM TO FORCE

Washington.-DemO in Con-

and the government Shipping bill,
which are the most important legisla-
tive measures remaining on the ad.
ministration program.

These prospects have upset all ad
tournment predictions and administra-

until fall despite the national politi-
cal campaign.
When senate Democrats in caucus
determined to press the shipping bill
and amended it in order to satisfy
members Of their own party who had
been in rebolt, they served notice on
the Republicans that their challenge of
filibustter had been accepted. Now
that there are assurances of enough
votes to pass the bill without Repub-
lican help, however, the Republican
threat Of filibuster is not taken SO
seriously by Democratic leaders.

SOON CLEAR NEUTRALITY QUES-
TloNs RAISED BY ARRIVAL OF
GERMAN SUBMARINE.
PURELY A MERCHANT SHIP
Preliminary Report From Collector
Ryan Indicates Purely Merchant
Ship Devoid Of Peculiar Status Caus-
ed by Her Trip Across Atlantic.

Washington.-Feder officials say
that the questions Of international law
raised by the arrival of the German
super-submarine Deutschland will
soon be- cleared away.
A preliminary report from Collec'
tor Ryan at Baltimore indicated that
the vessel was purely a merchant
ship, devoid of any peculiar status be-
cause of the unprecedented manner of
her trip across the Atlantic. Should
this be borne out by the more detailed
examination that will be made, Off
cials see no reason for diplomatic
complications. There was no pros
pect that the Allied Governments
were preparing to protest in the event
that the Deutschland is held to be a
merchantmen. g.
The Navy Department detailed Cap
tain C. F. Hughes to aid the Baltimore
collector in examining the submarine.
Another officer familiar with submar-
inc construction will accompany Cap
tain Hughes but they will act merely
in an advisory capacity and the atti-
tude Of the Government will be deter
mined by the collectors report.
Rumors that objection might be
raised by Captain Koenig or by Ger
man officials to a closer inspection
of the submarine on the ground that
she is OF a secret type of construc-
ton were not generally credited by
officials Such opposition would prob
ably result in the recall Of Captain
Hughes and it would then be incum-
bent on the German. Government to
offer convincing evidence of the sub
marines peaceful character.
Permission was not given for un-
loading any of the cargo, for shore
leave for any Of the submarines crew,
or for transmission of the documens
described as diplomatic papers brought
by Captain Keonig until the State De-
partment had finally passed on the
vessels status.

handed to him by Secretary Lansing
expressing qualification over the turn

diplomatic settlement of points in dis
pute. The communication was ap-

The text follows:
Secretary: / have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your COM
mundcation of July 4, 1915, in which
you transcribe a note addressed to me
by the Secretary of Foreign Relations
OF your government and to request
that you will transmit to him the fol-
lowing reply:
"Mr. Secretary:
81 have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your courteous note
transmitted to me by Senor Arredondo
on the fourth instant, in which you
refer to my notes of June 20 and June
25, and to assure you of the sincere
qualification of my government at the
frank statement of the difficulties
which have unfortunately arisen in
our relations along the international
boundary and the unreserved express
sion of the desire of your government
to reach an adjustment of the diff
culties on broad and amicable basis.
The same spirit of friendship and of
solicitude for the continuance of soli-
citude for the continuance of cordial
relations between our two countries
inspires my government which equally
desires an immediate solution Of the
matters Of difference which have long
vexed both governments. 1t is expe-
cially pleasing to my government
that the de facto government OF Mex
leo is disposed to give quick as well
as practical consideration in spirit |
of concord to the remedies which may |
be applied to the existing condition. |
Reciprocating the same desire, the |
government of the United States is
prepared Immediately to, exchange
views as to a practical plan to remove
finally and prevent recurrence Of the
difficulties which have been the
source OF the controversy.
Accept, Mr.. Secretary, the renew.
ed assurances. of my highest consid-
Grafton.
