DISABLING OF STEAMERS.
Order Alleged to Have Emanatcd
From Imperial Government.


Philadelphia, Feb. 19.-Lincoln Col
cord, in New York dispatch to the
Philadelphia Ledger, says:
There should be nothing surprising
in the statements made Saturday by
Capt Charles A. Polack in the United
States district court at Boston. to
the effect that his vessel, the Kron-
prinzcssin Cccilic, was disablcu Ivy
her own crew on the night of Janu-
airy 81, three days before the break
in diplomatic relations between the
United States and Germany, and
that the order for this act cInanatcd
from the imperial government, and
was transmitted through the German
embassy at Washington.
l can say on unqucstionable au-
thority that not only the Kronprin-
zessin Cecilie, but every &C., man
steamship interned in American wa
ters, was similarly disabled at about
the same time, and that the order
of the imperial government, to which
Capt. Polack tcstifies in his particu-
lar case, was a general order sent
out bv the German embassy to the
captains of all interncd German ships
from New York and Boston to Homo
lulu and Manila. My informant, Capt.
Won ", is a man prominent in Ger
man. American shipping circles. He
told me all this frankly, rs between
sailors, but placed me under obliga-
tions not to reveal his identity.

UNITED STATES AND. AUSTRIA.
Officials in Vienna Say Situation is
Not Entirely Hopeless - Z

Vienna, Feb. 19.-Despite the fact
that some of the newspapers are
taking a gloomy view Of Austro.
American relations and the situa-
ton brought about by the severing
of relations between the United
States and Germany, official circles
in Vienna are inclined to believe that
the situation is not entirely hope
less.
This also is the view of Frederick
C. Penfeid, the American Ambassa-
dor, who is doing everything possible
to assist in reaching friendly solu-
ton of the situation.
At this moment there are two in
dications, though possibly they are of
little weight, which permits of the
conclusion that Washington is not
contemplating an immediate break
with Austria-Hungary.
One is the transfer to. the embassy
here of Joseph C. Grew, former Sec
rotary of the embassy in Berlin, who
arrived here tonight from Switzcr-
land to assume the duties of coun-
selor of the embassy, post which is
vacant at present owing to the illness
of Ulysses. Grant Smith, who now is
in the United States.
The second indication arises from
the fact that Secretary of State Lam
sing yesterday wired here on behalf
of various Hebrew charity organiza-
tions the sum of $3.50, OOO,' the amount
having been donated by American
Hebrew societies. At the embassy
here the opinion was expressed that
the United States Government might
not have transferred this sum had
break between Washington and vi
emma been even tentatively decided
on.
