New London. Conn.,, Nov. 1.--Ten million dollars worth of dyestufYs and drugs, and, it was said possibly stocks and bonds and precious stones," comprised the cargo of the German submarine merchantmen Deutschland. according to a statement tonight by Capt. Paul kocnig, com- mandcr of the craft. The Deutschland Is in this port after having succeed in making a second voyage from German port to the American coast, despite the watchfulness of British and French war vessels.
 First of the undersea merchantmen, by use of which Germany hopes to keep open trade route with the Unit ed States, the Deutschland, according to her captain, is at present the only vessel of the fleet. The Bremen, which started on August 10, voyage from the city after which she was named, has been given up as last, said Captain kOenig He thought she must have struck mine," but he added: She has not fallen victim to this almost blockade; l am sure of that" The Amerika, which some reports have indicated was a merchant sub marine captured by the British, nev- CT existed, Captain Koenig asserted.
 "I must keep up this traffic alone for the present. That is, the Deutsch- land must" he said. "In a fortnight l shall be gone. ] hope to return be- fore the end of the year." It is possi- ble, the navigator said that other merchant submarines would be built by that time.

 In summary of his voyage. just completed, Captain Koenig, who re- ceived decorations from German roy alty as marks of recognition for his quiet trip" Recital of incidents, however, developed matters of lively interest.

Instead, the subma- rine varied the mOnotony of sailing on the surface and running under wa ter with occasional dives beneath ves- sels identified as warships of enemy or thought to be SO. Sev- en times Captain Koenig maneuvered in this way, the last time off Nan tucket yesterday when she sighted a "four-funnelled steamer" and dived beneath her.
 "The storms gave us more trouble than this so-called blockade" declar- ed Captain koenig. We were beset by heavy southwest gales for days, and they were with us most of the way across. Fog also hindered us. We might as well have been sub the weather was so thick at times." The super-structure of the Deutschland was dented by the blows of the sea. but she suffered no severe her commander said.

The Deutschland was forced to return for repairs. The venture was begun again on October 10, and the engines started on that date, were not stopped until the Deutschland came into the slip here prepared for her.
 "A heavy southwest gale was on when we went thru the North sea, crossing between Scotland and Ork- ney islands in the Fair channel" said the submarines commander. T took the shortest course on the chart for New London. The blockading ships were many, but we passed them, On rather went under them. The storm followed us, and we were tossed many hours. So severe was the storm that at times the submarine made On- ly mile an hour headway. In all we were delayed three days, and fuel was consumed at rate far in excess of normal The Deutschland was still supplied for nearly 30 days when she came in."
 During the trip of nearly 4,50O miles the Deutschland travelled un- der water less than 100 miles, Captain Koenig said. "They call it block
