 WASHINGTON. April l4-President Wilson and the cabinet went over the submarine crisis again today and re- affirmed their determination to bring the situation with Germany to an issue.
 The decision to inform Germany that recent accumulation of evidence of ships destroyed in submarine war fare leads to the inevitable conclusion that her promises to the United States are not beinS fulfilled, re- mained unchanged. The time of dis patching | communication tc Berlin appeared tS be the only point unde- cided.
 In congress today q report was widely circulated that the forthcom ing note would in itself give notice of q seVerence of dipiomatic rela- tons. There was nothing to sub stantiate the story any where in of fcial quarters. Cabinet officers did rot deny it. upon the ground that they all had been bound in honor by the president not to speak upon the subject in any way.
 There were repeated indications to- . night that the note would be state ment of the American case up tp date without anything in the nature of an u,inatum anl still would leave the way open for Germany to avoid the long feared break in diplomatic rels = tions Ii was plain. however that ii would be intended as the American governments fast word.
 Senators of the foreign relations conmittee who have been told by the president that they would be con suited before any defiuate or drastic steps were taken declared tonight that they had not yet been advised of the details of the next step. Chairman Stone conferred with Secretary Lan- sing during the day, but declared there was nothing new in the situa- tiOn.
 At the staee department there was renewed evidence that the United States considers it's ease complete even without the affidavits which ar- rived today on the steamer St. Pau! Secretary Lansing acknowledged tha .he evidence was gathered by the French government to prove the iden- tity of the submarine that dama geo the Sussex
 Such evidence, if substartiated, Wa regarded as the capstOne of the Amer ican case if one seemed necessary.
 Mir. L.ansing's only comment on th' evidence was that it would be eX amineG
 Tie impression which officials per mitted to preTail was that the not, to Germanv would not go forwar' until all the evidence had been care fully considered but that enough wa at hand to make up inc America case Some officials declared th' communication would go fOrWar' within 4S hours
 In all officia! quarters here there i evidence of taa gravity "f the situa
 ton. All officials agree that the ac
 cumulatiOn of evidence has brough tte situation between the two coun
 tries to the point of a break or q de ctNeO CildnSe on trPi many 'ol l. -n the president and the cabinet are de
 tclmired that the present condition
 cannot continue. the crisis which ha , prevailed between the two nations fc nearly 8 year has reached pom
 where nothing but action remains 10
 enc or the other.
 As fl is understood that the ne' , communication to Germany mention nothing in he way of time. it is be
 lieved the president has not decide to narrow the case down to a matte ed States will be none the less unal

 closure of the exact terms of the doc ument can sfcw what are the pos isibiitcs for tha next development.
