It was true that i rupture had not been created by handing Count von Luxburg his passports, the foreign minister stated, out Dr. Molina's insTructions did not provid? for any explanation of the situation to Germany. Rupture Probable The foreign minister reiterated today that there .will be a rupture of relations with Germany if the latter*s explanation of the Luxburg incident is not absolutely satisfactory. He requested the senate to abandon tne proposed secret session set for today to consider the matter as he prefers o make all explanations at a public session later. No request for a safe conduct has been received from Count von Luxburg. He has notified the foreign orfice, however, that he plans to leave Argentina by a Dutch steamer sariing September 28 or on a SpanlsH vessel October 2. Since being handed his passports Count von Luxburg, it is stated, hag been circulating the statement that the idea of sinking Argentine ships "without leaving a trace" was suggested to him by the foreign minister of Argentina as a means of preventng complications. This statement characterized by Foreign Minfsf?r Pueyrredon as the "greatest, most sLameful barefaced lie" in his official experience. THE HERALD AND NtfWS ONB 7KAR FOR OVLY *1J5?.
