SPAIN TO SEIZE
KAISER'S SHIPS,
CABINET WARNS
Tells Germans More Than 20
Per Cent. of Its Merchant
men Are Destroyed

Madrid. Aug. 21.-Spain will utilize
German vessels now in Spanish ports
in place of Spanish ships sunk by
German submarines and will continue
to observe neutrality.
This decision is announced in an
ing of the cabinet at San Sebastian.
The Spanish ambassador at Berlin
has been instructed to inform the
German government of this action.
The cabinet statement reads:
I'm the course of the recent meet
ings held at Madrid the government
considered the International situa-
ton.
Lose Ships and Sailors
"As a consequence of the subma-
rine campaign more than twenty per
cent. of our merchant marine has
been sunk, more than one hundred
Spanish sailors, have perished, con-
siderable number of sailors have
been wounded and numbers have
been shipwrecked and abandoned.
Ships needed exclusively for Spanish
use have been torpedoed without the
slightest pretext, serious difficulties
resulting to navigation.
THE government has believed 1t
is unable, without failing in it's es-
sential obligations and without set
ting aside neutrality. to defer the
adoption of measures necessary to
guarantee Spanish maritime traffic
and to protect Spanish crews and
passengers.
Will Seize Interned Vessels
Consequently, the government has
decided to address the imperial Ger
man government and declare that
owing to reduction of tonnage to it's
extreme limit. it will be obliged in
case of new sinkings to substitute
therefor German vessels interned in
Spanish ports. This measure does
not imply the confiscation of the
ships under definite title. 1t would
be only a temporary solution until
the establishment OF peace when
Spanish claims also will be liqui-
dated.
our Ambassador at Berlin has re-
ceived instructions TO bring this de-
cision 20 the notice of the German
government. The Spanish govern
ment does not doubt that the Ger
man government will appreciate the
circumstances determining this res
olution and will recognize that Spain,
in holding to the neutrality she has
practiced since the beginning of the
war; has sacrificed many of her
rights and legitimate conveniences
when it has been possible without
affecting the dignity of Spain and
her national life.
THE decision of the government
to assure for itself sufficient tonnage
which is indispensable to it's exist
ence, does not affect it's firm resolve
to maintain strict neutrality"
