last night resulted from information that
one or more of the great German liners
interned at Hoboken was preparing to
make a dash for the open sea, it was sig
nificant that deputy collector conferred
last night on the Hamburg American
line dock with the chief of police of Ho-
boken and representatives of the steam
ship company. Twenty-four steamships,
some of them the largest in the world,
owned by German interests, are tied up
at piers on the New Jersey side of the
Hudson river, while three Austrian ves-
sells are dockcd at Brooklyn piers. All of
them have been under the constant sur.
veillanee of United States agents to pre-
vent any violation of neutrality. A neu-
trality squad was organized more than a
year ago under the direction of Mr.. Ma
lone.
1t has been understood since the be-
ginning of the war that prompt action
would be taken if an international situa-
tion should arise under which the crews
or agents of the steamers might desire
to destroy their own vessels.

GERMAN FREIGHTER
THOUGHT SCUTTLED
The Leibenfels, Tied Up at Charleston
S. c., Since War Began, Refused
Aid Offered By Tugs.

Charleston, S. c., Feb. 1.-The German
freighter Leibenfels of the Hanas line,
which has been tied up here since the
beginning of the war, began sinking
slowly at 8 O'Clock this morning, and
marine men believed that she had been
scuttled. The belief seemed borne out
by the fact that the captain declined the
aid of tugs.

American officials are not convinced
that Germany's announcement of cam
psign of ruthlessness reveals the entire
situation. There have been intimations
of dissension between the entente allies,
all of which, however, has been officially
denied; and there are other circum-
stances which have come into possession
of the American government but are not
being disclosed, which give ground for
the possibility that the new submarine
blockade may be only forerunner of
something else equally startling.
Neither is there any assurance that
the new warfare will be confined to
changes on the seas. The air of conf
dence openly expressed at the German
embassy is generally interpreted as an in
dication that the Berlin government is
very sure of the success of its plans.
