 PORTLAND, Me, May 22.-A great deal of excitement was caused here this morning by the reports that have been coming in 10 the effect that a submarine has been sighted off the coast of Maine.
 The first report came from the coast guard station situa ed between Kenne- bunkport and Maoris and they imme- diately got in touch with the navy department at Washington over long distance.
 Nothing was known at that quar- ter and they were referred to the navy yard at Charlestown, Mass, here also they were informed thai there were no United States subma- rines in the neighbornood of Maine.
 Later in the day these reports were substantIated by five fishing boats the crews of each claiming that they had seen a submarine and as all of these boats came to Portland from the south, it became evident that the coast guards had made no mistake, and that foreign diver is actually skirting the New England coast line.
 It is expected here that the navy branch at Charlestown will send out destroyers to round up this craft and news of its capture or destruction is anxiously awaited by ship companies at this port,

 WASHINGTON, May 22.-An in crease to fifty million is called for in the administration bill for war risk insurance, and this increase has all ready been allowed by the senate, who passed upon it today.
 This measure authorizes the insur- anee of the lives of officers and crews of American merchantmen, said insur- auee department to be controlled by the war bureau.
 X great many of the men now en- gagged in this line of work are un- able to obtain insurance in any of the existing companies and the measure is gaining it's support chiefly owing to this fact.
 The rates under this government plan will be considerably lower than those charged by other companies, and there will unquestionably be great volume of business pour in to this branch as soon as it can be established.

 The first boat of the pattern put forward by Lake can be turned out in four months after which three or four can be turned out weekly. It will use heavy oil as a fuel and the engines will be of the most compact and powerful type.
 These boats are to be built in sec tions from central yard and ship ped to the assembling point where they can be put together in a few days. The inventor states that they are unsuitable.

 A public lynching was announced and thousands assembled to witness the sickening spectacle. Faggots were piled around the victim and gasoline was poured on them and on his body. This was then set on fire and the striking of the match was the cause of the widest enthusiasm. The car nival spirit predominated and the oc- casion was the cause of an all day celebration.

 The city has gone crazed with this iutrage. The racial feeling is more pronounced now than it has ever been before. The situation is most sei1- ous. All of the citizens are arming themselves fearing riots.
 After the lynching of Ford whom Parsons implicated in his confession as having also outraged the white girl, the colored men called mass meetings at which they expressed their 1ndig- nation at the action of the whites.
 One speaker urged all negroes to resist conscription and in the pres ence of hundreds of his colored broth CTS tore up an American flag saying We are through here boys. Let's us join Germany" this slogan was taken up by the crowd.
 The whites later resorted to a most cruel measure to instil fear into the heart of the colored man. They chained a ten year old negro boy to a log and satmating the body with oil and gasoline Set fire to 1t and drag gcd il along the streets us a lesson to what would happen to all negroes who would assault white women.
