SPAIN SUFFERS SEVERELY
AS RESULT OF BLOCKADE
Thousands Are Out of Work and
Losses Run Into the
Millions

MADRID, February IS. via Paris,
February 1.-THE newspapers OF all
opinions in the Bilbao region have
started a campaign to urge the author
tiles to adopt measures to relieve the
crisis which has arisen as a result of
the paralysis to sea traffic because of
Germany's submarine campaign.
For several days not single collier,
bringing coal, which is essential to the
metallurgical factories, has entered
port 1t is feared that the factories
will be compelled at first to limit their
output and then shut down altogether,
which would throw thousands Of per-
sons out of work.
Fishermen complain that they cannot
fish, as the limitation of the free zone
prevents them from reaching the fish
ing grounds. Food packers are about
to close their doors owing to export
difficulties.
The Barcelona shipoWners have met
to examine into the conditions under
which they can resume aatlings and
what compensation they would pay
crews of ships which are obliged to
cross the danger zone.
A special correspondent OF FL Impair
ciaI, who toured in Valencia and Muir
says the losses in the province of Muir
cha alone amount to 10000. 900 pesetas.
He calculates that the blockade has
thrown more than $4,000 persons out OF
work in the Valencia, Alicante and
Murcia regions.

CALLS NOTE TO GERMANY
A" TERRIBLE DECEPTION
Deputy Medeiros Criticises DR.. Lauro
Muller, Alleging Teutonic
Leanings.

RIO JANEIRO, February 15.-Deputy
Medeiros bitterly attacks DR.. Lauro
Muller, the Brazilian foreign secretary
in en- article in A Note in connection
with the Brazilian note to Germany,
which he terms q terrible deception.
According to Senior Medeiros the
praise given the note in the French
press is merely manifestation of
Doliteness.
The article continues:
DR.. Lauro Muller ought not to ignore
tho terrible suspicion which surrounds
him on account of his origin and his
political interests. The actual note did
not dissipate this nightmare, and now
when DIR. Muller discovers in il Il do
cisive energy he is only reinforcing the
belief that il is impossible for him to
do anything against Germany"
Abiding to the possible candidacy of
the foreign secretary for the presidency.
Senior Mede!ros says: when DR.. Muller
WIN have proven that in spite of the ap-
Dcals Of his ancestry he can dissipate the
suspicious which surround him he will
have won so great victory over himself
: that nobody will dare to dispute his right

Cites Great Ship Losses.

Admiral Baron Beresford. drawing at
tention 10 the submarine menace and
asking what measures had been taken TO
meet it, said:
We have lost since the beginning of
the war 1900. 900 tons of shipping. That
Is a fact which the public should know,
but 1t is not nearly as serious as it ap-
pears. We have made up the loss very
considerably. Three million tons which
have been lost have been more or less
adequately filled.
There is not the slightest necessity
for panic. We have done remarkably
wen, and shall do a great deal better in
future, but we have had time to face
it, and 1t is to that time that I desire
TO call attention"
The country, Baron Beresford con-
tinues, had been informed in August.
1915, that the submarine menace was
well in hand. AS far as he could gather
il was nearer coming to be well in hand
today, owing TO the new ideas brought
70 the admiralty by men fresh from the
sea who had had experience in this
novel form of warfare and its mys-
tories.
In conclusion. Baron Beresford, while
acknowledging the submarine menace
was serious, said it would not be a fatal
menace, and he was confident that in
six weeks or SO the nation would have
the submarine really In hand.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 10
President Johnson of the Amcri-
can League today asserted he and
his associates had no grievances
against fraternity members or
officials. The executive declared
he never had made any threat to
drive Catcher John Henry of the
Washington club out of the game

That Is not SO. Henry'S future IL

club, and the Washington club

player attempted any form of
conspiracy I personally should
back it to the limit in any dixci-
plinary action it might take.
That is the only stand l will take
against Henry or any other

A. and M. and Trinity Basket
ers Tomorrow Meet C. U.
and G. U. Teams.
GAMES IN SCHOOL SERIES
BY II. c. BYRD.

Two college basket ball games are
to be played here tomorrow night
Georgetown University meets the Trim
ity College five of North Carolina, and
Catholic University faces the North
tests begin at $50.
The local collegiate basket ball sea-
son is about to wind up. Georgetown,
Catholic University and George WASH
ington each has two or three more con-
tests to play, but all the schedules have
about reached the stage where there is
little interest in the games. Probably
all will be glad when the season ends.
Few big struggles have been listed and,
with one or two exceptions. the games
have not drawn as well as usual.
George Washington has a game
scheduled tonight, Temple University
being booked to appear against the
HatchetiteS at the 'Y.' Temple won
from George Washington in game at
visitors do not appear to be as strong
now as they were at that time.
The high school series will be con-
tinued tomorrow, with games be-
tween Tech and Eastern. Western and
Central Tech should get a victory
over Eastern, but the Central does not
|appear to be so confident of winning
from Western. The defeat sustained by
Central Tuesday was a considerable
setback Tech, if it wins from the
Light Blue and White, will better the
lead it now holds in the standing of
the teams The games will be played
at the ''Y'' and the first is to begin at
2:45 o'clock.
Gallaudet found the Temple Univer-
sity team rather easy in the game yes
terday in the Gallaudet gymnasium, the
visitors being defeated by big mar
gin The Philadelphians displayed very
little teamwork, finding the gymnasium
strange to them, and their accuracy in
shooting goals was not particularly
noteworthy. Gallaudet scored 20 points
early in the game, sweeping the visit
ors off their feet. Gallaudet had that
count of 20 to its credit before single
point had been registered against it.
Three relay races have been arranged
for the George Washington meet, to be
held March 2. all of which should be
interesting. The final event will take
place between George Washington and
the Carlisle Indians. The two best
races of the night. though. should re-
suit in the meeting of Lehigh with La
fayette and in the three-cornered af-
fair between the University of Vlr-
GINA, Penn State and Maryland State.
There is great rivalry between Lehish
and Lafayette in all branches of sport,
and in the other big race the instftu-
lions to compete are representative or
three nearby states.

OuIMET TO BE REuNSTATED?
Former Golf Champion to Follow
Tewksbury's Course.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 15.-Rumor
has it that both Francis Ouimet. former
amateur and open golf champion, and
John Sullivan. ir., his business partner.
will soon be reinstated to good stand
ing by the United States Golf Associa-
ton.
Sullivan, in a recent talk, is quoted as
stating that while neither he nor Quiz
met had applied for reinstatement, both
probably will be taken back, citing as a
reason the associations action with re-
gard to Paul Tewksbury.
Sullivan further stated that if he and
Ouimet did not receive notice from the
U. S. G. A. headquarters by the middle
of March they would make applications
for reinstatement. This, according to
an officer of the national body, is a trifie
irregular. -,
In other words, nothing can or will
be done until the players apply. Once
that is done, providing they can show.
as Tewksbury did, that they are no
longer violating the amateur rule, there
would be nothing to prevent their re-
turn to the fold.

the mayor of Mariana, a suburb of
Havana, is the father of Merito Acosta
the young Cuban ball player who has
been a member of the Nationals off

to be taken to Augusta this spring for

ta's death has not been confirmed.
President Baker and Manager Moran
of the Phillies have not been relieved
of their chief source of worry by the
recall of Fultz's strike order. The
Quaker officials were notified by wire
yesterday by Grover Cleveland Alexan-
der, champion pitcher of the big leagues,
that. strike or no strike, he would con-
slider no salary less than $4,000 a year.
The club has offered the premier twirl-
er $4,000, an increase of $1,000 over
last years pay.
Baker yesterday intimated that Alex
ander might take or leave the salary
offered, but the fact that Manager
Moran has arranged a conference be-
tween himself, Baker and Alexander, to
be held this afternoon, is taken to
mean that compromise will be eff
fected.
Under the impression from stories
appearing in the public prints that
Catcher John Henry of the Washington
Club was to be driven Que of base ball
because of his activities in behalf of
the players fraternity, the High School
Teachers Union of Washington, D. c.,
at its meeting Tuesday adopted resolu-
lions condemning ANY action on the
part of base ball magnates to carry on
the American sport of base ball in vio-
lation of the acknowledged rights of
free speech and protective organiza-
ton"
Ban Johnsons statement yesterday
that he had been misquoted in regard
to Henry and that he never had said
he intended to drive Henry out of base
ball undoubtedly will be received with
qualification by members of the High
School Teachers Union and other fair
minded champions of clean sports. The
teachers union is to be commended for
the interest it has displayed in placing
itself on record for square deal.

Speak With Confidence.

Both Lord Lytton and Lord Curzon
spoke with great confidence, and, while
Withholding actual details WI ich might
be useful to the enemy, intimated in
general way that extensive measures
had been adopted to deal with the stu
alton. Lord Lytton generously admit
ted that the new admiralty board was
only continuing on an extended scale
the policy inaugurated by it's prede-
cessor.
Apparently the means the govern
ment is relying on are a great multi
plication of destroyers and the armlng
OF merchantmen. Lord Lytton said
that all the shipyards in the world
would not suffice to build the destroy
ers needed, but every available yard
was being utilized for that purpose.
Both speakers represented the adj
miralty as being thoroughly awake and
ready to employ every useful device
submitted to it for coping with the
danger. Lord Curzon gave interesting
figures showing the loss of mercantile
tonnage as only between 8 and per
cent as compared with the month pre-
ceding the outbreak of the war, this
probably implying that the loss by sub
marines and mines has been largely
compensated by new construction.
