DENIES OUTRAGE
Germany Says Hospital Ship
Sunk by British Mine.
Declares None of Passengers
Report Seeing Submarine.

Amsterdam, July 3.-The sinking
of the British hospital ship Llandovery
Castle, announced by the British ad-
miralty to have been sent to the bot
tom by an enemy submarine off the
Irish coast on June 81 with the proba-
BILE loss of more than zoo lives. was
due to her striking a British mine in
all probability, says a semi-official
note from Berlin received here today.
Blames British Mine.
Like all similar assertions of the
British admiralty" the note reads,
"the assertion in this case that a Ger
man submarine was responsible for
the fate of the Llandovery Castle is
also probably incorrect. 1t appears
from the later news that no one on
board the steamer observed U-boat
or a torpedo. In all probability the
cause of the loss Will be found to be
attributable to a British mine"
But Submarine Was Seen.
This statement from Berlin Is re-
markable, in view OF the fact that sew
eral survivors were taken aboard the
submarine temporarily and thatA a
conversation took place between the
U-boat captain and the master of the
hospital ship.

was spent in obtaining an academic
education and on his fathers estate.
When the war came he Joined the
armies of the south, but a severe ILL
ness kept him al invalid for two years
and caused the loss of one eye, so he
saw no active service. At the close of
the war he married and for the next
twenty years followed farming as his
sole pursuit.
Elected Governor.
Not until 1886 when he was nearly
40 years of age. did Mr.. Tillman enter
the public life which has since claimed
him. At that time he headed a move
ment for industrial and technical edu-
cation in South Carolina and other re-
forms. The people recognized the
force of his keen logic and his abilities
as an orator and four years later made
him governor on the Democratic
ticket.

capacity that in 1895 he was made
United States senator which position
he has since held. He was a master
at sarcasms and HIS vitriolic utter

Founded Colleges,
During recent years he has done
much for his state aside from his work
at Washington. He founded an agri-
cultural and mechanical college for
boys at Fort Hill and also Winthrop
Normal and Industrial college at Rock
Hill for girls. These are the two larg-
est schools of the kind iR-the south
An important measure of which he
was the author, was the dispensary
system of selling liquor under state
control. AS a central figure in the
South Carolina constitutional conven-

fishing educational qualifications for
suffrage.
Harmonizer in Conventions.
In the last four Democratic national
conventions he has been an active
power. especially in the one of 1904,
when he did much to harmonic con-
tending factions.
