OF DUBLIN THE CAPITAL CITY, IS CAPTURED
PEACE BETWEEN GERMANY AND
 UNITED STATES STILL POSSIBLE

BERLIN, Apr. 25-It can now be stated authori- tatvey that the situation between Germany and the United States depends on what the American government actually wants The opinions gleaned from conversations with persons close to the official life of the empire show the situation to be about as follows:
 If President Wilson holds that the former agreements with Germany have not been adhered to by Germany and Berlin agrees that the submarine campaign be conduct ed without deviation from the limits of the German surances and pledges in former notes settlement can probably be arranged suggested that because of the Sharp and unfrendy tone of the last American note the proposals of the United States should be resated need be and definitely formulated so that there be possibility of error the question of responsibility
 It is believed on all hands that there is very little chance to agree or to come to satisfactory settlement the United States insists further limitation of the submarine war against commerce. In that respect it is assumed that breach of diplomatic relations could not be avoided and that such breach would only be tempor ay status which would deveope into state of actual war On the whole the situation hardly looks as danger ous as it did some time ago but the clouds still hover ing overhead.

FILL IN BAY AT
 BIG TRESTLE
IMMENSE AMOUNT OF WORK TO BE DONE NEAR
 CITY.

That the bay where the long trestle now is north of the city will be filled in and the trestle removed by the Engineering commission is fact which has just been ascertained by observation of the fact that the steam shovel which is operating near POr- cupine city is digging down to depth several feet below the level of the present grade. When questioned about this some of the officials of the Commission admitted that the inten- tion is eventually to fill in the place where the trestle now is so that a solid grade will be found all the way from the city to Resurrection river. The present trestle would have to be removed, anyhow. A person walking to the head of the bay can see the steamshovel at work and will observe that the grade at which it is working is far below the present grade. The road will be lowered to that level ard the grade will be carried 70 where the raise will be made near Resurrection bridge. The grade at that bridge will be raised six feet and to secure that raise the line will be raised gradually for half a mile on each side of the bridge. The Commission is now ready to start work on it's new telephone line. The cross arms have arrived and the digging of the holes in t
 ci!y will be commenced tomorrow. The LOberg station gang, consisting of thirteen men, went out to work this morning to Mile eight and a half.
