Captain Fakeshima, OF the Japanese
steamer Hudson Maru, who arrived
today from Pernambuco. Brazil. The
Hudson Maru was one OF the vessels
captured.
Made prisoner Jan. 5, on voyage

The Japenese skipper observed that
two big guns and two torpedo tubes

Two notes have been received from
the German government ON the sub

that the United States had detained
Consul Miller at Havana, and the sec

and also containing a statement on

Claim Consuis Were Well Treated.
Germany complains against reports
recently cabled to the United States
from the Hague in which It was stated
that American consuls leaving Ger
many were mistreated. 1t is stated
that everything possible was done to
provide for the comfort OF the officials
placed on Vice Consul Harold B. Quar-
ton, formerly at Berlin. whom Ger
many believes to have been the only
consular official from Germany in The
Hague at the time the reports were ca
bled.
AS for treatment said In newspaper
dispatches from Europe to have been
accorded American consuls, Germany
declares that instruction was given
that they should receive every personal
consideration. However it is made
clear because of military necessity
there were many incidents where the
officials had to submit to some reg,ila-
tions which may have been annoying.
However it Is said these regulations
were done away with when the Ameri-
can ambassador and his suite crossed
the frontier.

If Ames beats Grinnell again, tbs Ag

Georges cIemenceau Declares Wilson's
Course Will Lead to War,
Paris, Feb. 2s.-The morning news
papers, while without exception COM
mending President Wilson'S prudence
and his determination to have the
whole American nation behind him,
agree in recognizing his second mes
sage to congress as distinctly further
step in the direction OF war.
Georges CNmenceau reflects the
sentiment generally expressed, when
he says: h. :.
"A paciiicist out and out, President
Wilson does not stand for peace at
any price. On the day when the dig
nifty and sovereignty of the United
States are attacked he will enter on
another course. He first attempted to
exercise moral force on Germany. He
now has declared armed neutrality.
This pressure will be transformed into
material action and that means war"

Liverpool, Feb. 2S.-The Rev F..
Dunstan Sargent of Grenada, British
West Indies, q passenger on the La
coma, who administered the last rights
of the Roman Catholic church to seven
persons who perished, gave to the As
/ sociated Press today the following ac-
count of the death of Mrs. Mary Hoy
and Miss Elizabeth Hoy, of Chicago:
MRS. Hoy died in the arms Of her
daughter. Her body slipped off into
the sea out Of her daughters weakened
hands. The art-broken daughter
|suocumbed few minutes later and
her body was swept over the side Of
the boat as we were tossed about in
the waves. For two hours the daugh
ter bravely supported her mother,
uttering words Of encouragement
|From the start both were violently
seasick, which, coupled with the cold
and exposure, gradually wore down
their courage. They were brave
women"
Six Die in One Boat.
After a pause Father Sargent con-
tinued:
"The first to die in our boat was w.
Irvine Robinson, Of Toronto. After his
body had been consigned to the sea we
tossed about for an hour. getting more
and more water until the gunwales
were almost level with the sea. Then
Mr.. watt succumbed in the arms Of his
fancee, who was close beside him.
TRYING in vain to keep him warm by;
throwing her wealth of hair about his
Hneek. Even ;after he died she refused
t6 give him up and we yielded to her
pleading and allowed her to keep the
body.
The Hoys were the next to pass
away. Then a fireman died and later
two others of the crew. who we're TOO
thinly clad to resist exposure. Alto
gether we were in the boat ten hours"
Father Sargent said his boat was
badly damaged on being launched and
Immediately began TO leak. Owing to
the heavy waves they were unab1e to
attract the attention Of the other
boats or to transfer the passengers.
