ture. One of them said that, in the
absence of official reports to the
contrary. he believed the VaterIand.
the George Washington, the Kaiser
Wilhelm ii, and the other great pas
senger carrying vessels had not been
harmed.
This surmise does not coincide with
other information received, and 1t
must be repeated that no government
agent has set foot below the prone
made deck of any of these steamships

of the four mentioned, which are
known to have suffered mechanical

Permission has beer granted to
allow the skaters to remain on the
basin until IL o'clock tonight. At
that time all lights will be turned
off, the guards withdrawn, and the
skaters "shooed" away.

The unanimity of action in the
Philippines. Philadelphia, Boston,

German property useless suggested
to officials here that the plan had
been prearranged.
Full reports are slowly coming in
from port authorities. They indi-
cate damage so extensive as to Grip
pie the ships for six months in most
cases.
Unofficial Reports.
Government officials are today in
veEtigating unofficial reports that a
dozen or more ships at Hobollen and
New York docks have been damaged.
as well as reports than nine others IN
Hawaiian ports have had their ma
chinery rendered useless by their
crews.
Reports from the neutrality SQUAD
in New York specifically tell Of sabot-
age on four German ships lying in
that port.
Denied PermISsIon.
Since February l. the neutrality
SQUAD has gone through the motions
Of applying to the captains or other
officer in charge of each of the ships
. in port at New York for permission
to make a thorough inspection. The
request was denied, except in the case
Of four of the smaller steamships.
The names of these craft were not
divuIged.- but the conditions found
were these:
Each of the ships had been disabled.
Cylinder heads were cracked or
broken. Vital parts of the machinery
were missing or displaced. Engines
were out Of commission. The injuries
were not of the same character in all !
the ships, but all were rendered use

trality squad are not mechanics or
marine engineers and were unable TO (

person had thrown stone Mt the

to court by the owner OF the store

considered guilty because he lodged

Functioning in this way, believe it

Germanism in its best intellectual
light, naturally is rampant.
Al the very beginning Of the war the
