WASHINGTON, May 15.-Negotia tions with Great Britain regarding in reference with mails 10 and from the United States and interruptions of neutral commerce by the British fleet are 10 he resumed in the very near fu- ture. note insisting sharply upon notifications in the treatment of mail is being prepared at the state depart ment and as soon as possible work Will tc begun on reply to the last British note defending the operation of the blockade orders in council
 Secretary Lansing let it be known last week that the implied condition in the German note on submarine war fare. expressing confidence that the United States would hold Great Brit ain to compliance with international law. has made it difficult to proceed with the British negotiations. He said. however. that these negotiations would be continued promptly in spite of the embarrassing situation.
 The note now being prepared reiter- ating the original protest of the Unit ed States against the detention and interference with American mails. the reply of Great Britain received sever al weeks ago. is considered insuffi- cient by President Wilson, It is un derstood that the new demand will be more decided in its language than the first.
 A phase of interference with mails which will be made the subject of special protest is the custom of taking neutral ships into British ports for inspection and then removing the rails. and sometimes subjecting them to long delays
 In addition 10 the facts laid before the British government in the first note, more information has been col lected and will be embodied in the new communication. Many individual and business firms have protested to the government against the delay to which their mail has been subjected.
 The refusal of Great Britain to al low supplies to be sent by the Ameri- can Red Cross to Germany and her allies is still being carefully investi- gated at the state department and a protest on this subject is expected to go forward in the near future.

British Knight Stares Down Witnesses duplicating Him in Traitorous Act with the Irish Brigade.
EMBLEM OF REVOLT
 IS LAID TO PRISONER
Prosecutors Aim to Trace Con- spiracy Clear to America.
 Evidence Shows Britisher
 Aided Germans. |
(sy Review Leased Wire,

LONDON, May 15.-The writing of a new chapter of the history of the S.nn Fein rebellion was begun today, when Sir Roger Easement Knighted in 1911, for services to the British government, and Daniel Julian Bailey, an Irish private soldier, one of his companions on the ill-fated submarine trip from Germany to Ireland, were placed in the dock of the Bow Street police court for preliminary examina- tion on the charge of high treason.
 While considerable testimony in- troduced by the crown tended to in criminate Bailey, the main attack of the prosecution was directed against Easement in an endeavor to enmesh him in net of evidence which would establish without question the lead ing part it is claimed he played in the conspiracy, whose notifications exten- ded even to America.
 It was evident that no ordinary pris- oner was before the bar. for despite the unkempt condition of his cloth ing he made a striking figure. with neatly trimmed beard and hair brush ed well back from a high forehead. underneath which vas the deep set eyes of the dreamer.
 Easement busted himse taking notes, indicating that he intended to have a hand in the presentation. of his defense. He was always self-possess- ed and. as the case wore on began to assume considerable assurance.
 The testimony developed few thrills the prosecution began devoting it's attention to showing how Easement carried on the alleged recruiting for his Irish brigade in German prison camps. The most dramatic part of the whole proceeding was the address of the attorney general Sir Frederick E. Smith. who outlined Sir Roger Case ment's services to his country, told of the honor bestowed upon the prisoner by his king and then shifted abruptly to the details of the conspiracy.
 The Attorney General introduced an other striking feature when he paused in his speech to produce in court the flag which it is asserted Easement and his companions brought from Ger many to Ireland. This was the em- blem of revolt-a green flag with a yellow castle upon it and under the castle the motto:
 rima belli"
 Easements attorney made little at tempt at cross examination today but several times questioned the witness es as to why Easement wished them to join the Irish brigade. The point of questions seemed to be to show that the freedom of Ireland was the only thing involved and that the brigade was not to attempt to assist Germany.
 Further testimony will be introduc1 ed by the crown tomorrow.

First Blast Sets Of Other Ma gazines, Demolishing Many Great Buildings at Gibbs town, N. J.
 CAUSE OF EXPLOSION
 MAY NEVER BE KNOWN All Employees Where Fire Started Are Dead. Build ings Two Blocks Away Are Leveled by Concussion.
(By Review Leased Wire. ,

'. GlBBSTOWN. N. |. May 15.-At least fourteen men were killed and about 90 injured today in a terrific explosion at the RepaGno plant of the Dupont Powder company. near here. The blast occurred in the building in which trinitroluol is made and wrecked that structure and three others. Among the identified dead are:
 w. F. Lawley, Woodbury. \. J. assistant superintendent of the trin- itroluOi plant. and Geo. Marsh. PauIs- buro. \. J., Foreman.
 Some of the injured were taken to a hospital in Camden and other places while a score of lesser injured were treated at the powder plant.
 The cause of the explosion is not known and according to officials of the plant may never be ascertained as all those supposed to have been in the building where the first eN- ploslon occurred are dead
 Trinitroluol is not considered an explosive risk, and company officials believe il caught fire before explod- ing. This blast caused nearby build ing. in which nitro-benzol is manu- factured. to blow up. So great was the force that two buildings. some distance away. in which huxiie was manufactured were wrecked but the explosive did not go of
 Many of those killed and injured were outside the buildirgs involved and were either killed or hurt by ny- ing debris Other -workmen promptly went to the rescue and ambulance calls were sent into various sur rounding towns. The widest rumors prevail as ,S the number of dead. but the company will be unable to give had been checked up.
 TrinititrouOl and nitro-benzol are used in filling shells and mines. The building in which they were produced were of frame construction.
 Many Such Mysteries.
 The ReLouno plant of the DupOnt's consists of 5000 or 1000 acres in which there are 900 small buildings. About 2.000 men are employed. of many other recent explosions at the Dupont plants. The most serious were tlose of November %. 1915( and January 10. of this year
 In the first of these at Lower Haslev near Wilmington. Del. 3o men and boys were killed and six seriously in- jured On January 10. the explosion was at the Carney'S Point plant It cost the lives of three men.
 investigations seeking to prove that the explosions were caused by spies have been unsuccessful.

FRANCE NOT THROUGH.

PARIS. May 15.-The speech of President Poincare at Nancy on Sunday, in which he declar- pd that France did not want Germany to offer peace. is widely commented today by the newspapers as the final and authoritative announcement of the French policy on ,he sub ject of peace. The Temps says:
 The discourse of the Pres ident of the republic is more than an impressive oratorical manifestation and there is no need for deception either at Berlin or in the capitals of neu- tral countries where the idea of eventual mediation is. enter tained among those without re- sponsibility. The presidents al- dress expressed the sentiments profoundly rooted in the hearts of all good Frenchmen, and against which no questionable maneuvre will ever prevail

 Convention Talk Heard
 Democratic members were well pleased tonight over the prospect of cleaning up the legislative program before the conventions as previously planned It is probable that the army and fortifcation measures and some minor bills will be completed before the convention and the Democrats will rest on that record In soma quarters there Is a disposition to rush some important measures during convention weeks. but this plan probably will not be entertained seriously by the leaders.
 Speaker Clark seems at present to be standing by his original plan not to amend the convention. He said to- night that the proposal to make him permanent chairman of the conven- ton had not been mentioned to him.
