MEXICO AND GERMANY
 CONNECTED BY WIRELESS
Information to That Effect Comes from
 Semi Official Source.

Washington, March 8-Information has reached the government from a semi official source that through the perfection of a powerful wireless tele- graph plant in Mexico City direct com munication between the Mexican cap
 Officials realize that if confirmed this ital and Germany has been established news is of great importance and an investigation has been ordered Through connection bwy Mexico City with the land telegraphs leading into the United States. Germany would be able to secure complete exemption from censorship which now 7is imposed upon it's communications by the Amer ican government at the wireless sta tions at Sayvi11e and Tuckerton and by the British and French govern ments in their control of the Atlantic cables.
 Far-reac ching possibilities thus would can neutrality or even the menacing of the national safety in the critical situation existing. Sea raiders and submarines might be directed, and full information concerning the departure of ships from American ports furnish ed. German agents in this country might keep in close touch with Berlin and in case of war even more serious results might follow.
 From other semi official sources fn- formation has reached Washington that secret meetings are being held by Germans in Vera Cruz and in Mont erey, to determine upon uniform action by Germans in Mexico in the event of an outbreak of war between the United States and Germany.

NAVY DEPARTMENT
 OFFICIALS SURPRISED
When Word Game That American
 Warships Had Landed Men.

Washington, March Sword that men from American warships had act ually landed at Santiago surprised navy department officials, who only today had referred to the state de- partment a request for such action from the Cuban governor. Comman- der Be1knap's last report transmitted the governors request and asked for instructions.
 The American naval commanders have broad authority to take such steps as may be necessary to protect Americans and other foreigners and their property It is assumed that the situation at Santiago became so threatening that Commander Belknap decided it was necessary to act inn mediately without waiting for a reply to his message.
 As the United States government recognizes only the Menocal govern ment the trouble at Santiago presents difficult problem. The government forces are atta acking the city and are opposed by the governor of the prov ince. The task of the American ex- petition will be to protect foreigners without becoming involved in the gen. eral fighting.
