WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE trouble
between the United States and Ger
many over tire submarine question may
be brought to head as q result Of the
alleged action of q submarine COM
mahier In sinking the Norwegian bark
Sillus. This ship. with seven Americans
on board. was sunk without warning In
Havre Roads on the night Of March ..
According to advices received from Con-
sui Osborne at Havre the seven Amer
leans were rescued.
Whether or not tho sinking Of the
siiius may be followed by a rupture In
the relations between the United States
and Germany will depend altogether
upon the facts developed by the invests
CATION instituted to-day by order Of Mr..
Lansing, the Secretary Of state.
The Silius is believed to have been an
unarmed ship. Assurances have been
received from Germany by the United
States that such vessels will in no cir
cumstanccs be attacked In violation OF
the rules referring 10 warning and
search. For this reason Government
officials and German Embassy authori-
ties incline TO the belief that the in
quiry set in motion to-day will disclose
that the Silius was sunk by floating
mine.

PHILADELPHIA, March ll-Col. L.ttlc.

an interview tonight at the up river
house OF the Bachelors Barge Club. in
which he said that the American forces
killed 500 natives during the receu, in

1t was the first statement that has
been made regarding the number Of
deaths among the IIayiians traceable 10
American Intervention. col. Waler's
statement follows in part
"Of the 500 rebels who were not killed
outright by the American bullets about
$50 succuinbed to disease contracted -
they lay wounded in bushes. AZ times
the American officers, In sclf-defenc"
were compelled to turn the full force of
the hot machine guns directly into a
place OF concealmcnt from which rehc
bullets we're wildly emerging. In only
a few Instances did the rebels face the
American troops In regular battle line
and after they felt the true aim of the
khaki clad boys they depended entirely
on sniping.
THE Haytians neither knew nor cared
to learn how to save the lives Of theii
injured. The wounded lay for days
suffering agonies, the Americans learned
after peace had been restored. None
but little parties OF rebels who were

juries. and the injured companions
seemed not to care what became %
