SUBMARINE U-53
 AT NEWPORT NEWS
German tndersea Fighter Comes and Goes Again in Three Hours Slips by L. $. Fleet-Needcd No
 Provisions or Fuel

Newport R. l., Oct B.. Seventeen days from Wilhelmshayen the im- perial German submarine U-5a dropi anchor in Newport Harbof yesterday
 Almost before the officers of the American fleet of warships, thru which the stranger nosed her way, had recovered from their astonish- ment the undersea fighter had de- livered a message for the German ambassador, and weighing anchor, turned Brenton's Reef lightship and disappeared beneath the waves, just inside the three-mile limit.
 As she came and went she flew the black and white colors of the Ger man navy, d gun was mounted on the forward deck, and another aft willie eight turpedoes, plainly vlsl- ble. gave mute assurance that the warship was ready for fight at the drop of a hat
 Wanted No Provisions or Fuel.
 Lieut.. Capt. Hans Rose, who hung up a new worlds record in bringing an armed submarine in battle array across the Atlantic. said he called at Newport simply to mail a letter to Count y0n Bernstorif. He required neither fuel nor provisions and be on his way. he said, long before the 2i hours during which a belligerent ship may remain within a neutral harbOr had expired.
 The submarine was in American waters little more than three hours, assuming that she continued to sea after submerging. Within that time the German commander paid official visits to Rear Admiral Austin M Knight eommandant of the Second Naval district, and Rear Admiral Cleaves. commander of the destroyer force of the Atlantic fleet. who was on board the flagship, the scout cruiser Birmingham. Both American officers returned the brief call promptly.
 Patrol Fleet Warned.
 While these formalities were be- ing exchanged wireless messages were carrying to the ships of the British and French patrol fleet off the coast, a warming that a hostile submarine had slipped thru their gordon and might be expected in the open sea soon.
 There were rumOrs, without ap- parent basis. that the German mer- chant submarine Bremen, long overdue, might be expected in her wake Some naval officers believe that the fighter escorted the Bremen across the ocean and others that she was searching for the merchant ship The first question Captain Rose asked when a motorboat came alongside was. Have you heard from the Bremen2N
 When he was told that there had been no news of the missing craft his face became grave. but he made no comment.
 To the naval men the most inter- esting fact disclosed by Capt. Rose was that he had been at sea 1T days and still had provisions for three months, abundant fuel and needed no repairs. Not so much as a bottle Of water was taken aboard nd the ship was spick and span.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The Lusitania
case again today was In the forefront of
the International problems occupying
the serious consideration Of the Y ash
ington government.
President Wilson and Secretary Lam
sing went over new proposal pre-
sented last night by the German am
bassador. Until they have decided there
will be virtually no change in the
deadlock. which came weeks ago. and
perhaps not then. Officials declared
the gravity Of the situation was po-
tential. --,
Apparently the stumbling block of
situation Is the word illegal" as diff
ferently interpreted In this country and
Germany.
The state department does not con-
slider that the general situation sur
rounding the negotiations is any more
grave than it has been.
It was said that some announce
ment might be made within the next
few days.
Action Is Delayed.
President Wilson and Secretary Lam
sing delayed action on Germany's
latest answer in the Lusitania nego-
tiations until Monday. M5was said the
president has the proposal from Berlin
before him and wants to go over it
carefully.
There was an undertone of expecta-
tion that the two governments would
be able to find common ground for
agreement, in official declarations that
Berlins reply has not made the situa-
ton any more serious. aE s

Montreal. Feb. 5.-what is believed
to have been an attempt to blow up
the Victoria bridge was frustrated last
night by militia guards. 1t was learned
today. About midnight the guards
noticed man making his way toward
the bridge on the Ice. He was picked
out by the searohlights and when
challenged retreated without answer.
Ing. About O'clock a man was again
detected trying to reach the bridge
from the ice. When he refused to ans
swer a challenge he was fired at.
Am investigation started by the
militia authorities has convinced them
that an attempt to destroy the bridge
was intended.
The Victoria bridge crosses the st,
Lawrence and Is used by the Grand
Trunk and the Delaware & Hudson
railways. 1t is a mile and a half in
length and has been guarded by SOL
diers since the outbreak Of the war.

Future Payments at Fixed Rate.

Berlin, by wireless to Sayville, Feb.
5.-The following was given out today
by the Overseas News Agency:
Berlin newspapers give accounts OF
a speech made in Turin by Premier
Salandra, Of Italy, in which he said:
:. BE strong and united. in order to
support the government and in order
to replace the government with an
other II necessary. We are fighting in
the trenches, and fighting in the
trenches exhausts forces. The moment
may come when it may become neces-
sary to retire behind the present front.
! state this In order to leave no room
for erroneous interpretations. Then we
shall retire in order to begin anew.
This moment may come, and the
liberal monarchist party-the great
party which made Italy and which
must accomplish the work of making
Italy-must then have men In reserve
in order to sacrifice them for the
country II necessary
Cabinet Crises Foreseen.
THE newspapers ask whether the
premier's utterance may be an indica-
tion Of the coming resignation of the
present cabinet. They point out that
Premier Goremykin. Of Russia, already
has retired and that Theophile Del
casse gave way as foreign minister of
France. Grand Duke Nicholas as Rus
sian scommander-in-c chief, and Winston
Spencer Churchill as first lord Of the
British admiralty. The retirement of
Premier Salandra, the newspapers say,
may possibly come In consequence OF
economic difficulties existing in Italy
and sof antagonism between Italy and
Crest Britain on account Of the ques-
tion how 70 provide Italy with cheap
coal"

Washington, Feb. 5.-Sheep and cat

urged the senate lands committee to
defeat or at least modify the 64O-acre
homestead grazing bill which has
passed the house.
DR.. S. w. Mcclure. secretary of the
National Wool Growers Association. Of
Salt Lake City, said it would be i'm
practicable for a man on $40 acres
to raise a single sheep because the
tract was so small he could not en-
ploy herder and too large to enclose
with wire netting to keep out the coy
otes. Cattlemen, he said, would suffer
more from isolated $40 homesteads
than sheep men.

The Hague, via London, Feb. s.
Dutch newspapers. both pro-German
and anti-German are unanimous--in
demanding from Germany prompt ex-
PLANTATION of and reparation for the
torpedoing of the Dutch tank steamer
Artemis by German torpedo boat in
the North sea. The newspaper call for
punishment of the German commander
who was responsible for what was de-
scribed as violation Of law and an
unjustiiable act Of war against the
Netherlands.
The Vaderland recalls the previous
German "errors'' and dwells on the
danger Of further incidents of this ma
ture. Incidentally, it asks what the
British fleet was doing whilesia con-
spicuously colored German torpedo
boat fotilla was calmly cruising the
busiest steamer track between the
Hook of Holland and the Noordhinder

Breakdown Of German Discipline.
The Nieuwe Courant treats the case
as breakdown Of the 'vaunted Ger

which, 1t ays.sseems urgently to need
improvement, especially from the view
point of the safety Of lives and the
property of neutrals. 1t demands COM
