CHILEAN PROTEST ON
" '■ SINKINQ OF DRESDEN.
Mr?.-
vmi AND AMPLE REPLY

l
DafeOd Actios is Violating Chilean
'* Nentralltf bj Necessity of Circum*
f
' venting Escape of German Crolaer
Which, it Was Feared, Intended to
' Violate the Neutrality Later.
Great Britain has offered "a full
and ample apology” to the Chilean
government for the sinking March 14
In the Chilean territorial waters ol
the German cruiser Dresden, the in-
< ternment of which already had been
ordejed by the maritime governor of
Cumberland Bay, when the British
squadron attacked and sank the Ger
man.
This fact was made public in Lon
don Thursday night in a white paper,
giving the texts of the Chilean note
prote r tlng against the sinking of the
Dresden and the British reply.
— The note delivered by the Chilean
minister to Great Britain says that
the Dresden anchored in Cumberland
Bay (Juan Fernandez Island) March
9, and asked permission to remain
eight days for the purpose of repair
ing her engines. The governor re
fused the request, as he considered it
unfounded and ordered the captain
to leave within twenty-four hours.
When the British squadron appear
ed March 14 the governor was pro
ceeding to the cruiser Glasgow to in
form the British officers of the steps
he had taken, but he had to turn
back, as the British ships opened Ore
on the Dresden, on which a flag of
truce already had been hoisted, and
called on her captain to surrender
The captain then gave orders to blow
up the magazine of the Dresden.
"This act of hostility committed in
Chilean territorial waters by a Brit
ish naval squadron,” says the Chi
lean minister, "has painfully surpris
ed my government.”
Continuing, the minister says that
had the officer in command of the
British squadron received the gov
ernor and been informed that the
Dresden was interned he was con-
viaoed "the British commander would
not have opened Are on her and
'brought about a situation which con
strains the Chileoa government, in
defease of its sovereign rights, to for
foulato a most energetic protest.”
Attar referring to the hospitality
Shown British ships In Chilean
watsrs and to the long friendship be-
the two peoples, the minister
"’Nothing could be a more painful
surprise to us than to see our ex
tremely cordial attitude repaid by an
net which bears unfortunately all the
•vtdencoe of contempt for our sover
eign rights, although it is probable
that nothing was farther from the
mind of those by whom it was un
thinkingty committed.”
The British government, replying,
expresses regret that a mlsunder
standing arose, and adds: "On the
facta, as stated in the communication
ed the Chilean minister, the British
government, Is prepared to offer a
full abd ample apology to the Chilean
government."
It is. however, pointed out that
according to the British information
tie Dresden “had not accepted intern-
.metit and still had her colors flying
and her guns trained.”
The British reply continues: ”If
this Is so, and if there is no means
available for enforcing the decision
of the Chilean authorities to Intern
the Dresden, she might obviously,
had not the British ships taken ac
tion, have escaped, again to attack
British commerce.”
It is added: "The captain of the
Glasgow probably assumed, especial
ly in view of the past action of the
Dresden, that she was defying the
Chilean authorities and abusing Chi
lean neutrality and was only waiting
forfb favorable opportunity to sally
out and attack British commerce
again.
“In view of the time it would take
to clear up the circumstances and be
cause of the Chilean communication
the British government do not wish
to qualify the apology that they now
present to the Chilean government.”

nation—Tokio to bo Heard From.
No specific progress was recorded
at the cofiference in Peking Thursday
over the Japanese demands. Ques
tions concerning Eastern, or inner,
Mongolia were discussed.
Eastern Mongolia originally was
grouped with South Manchuria, and
the Japanese demands with reference
to these two territories are virtually
the same, relating to right of resi
dence by the Japanese and owner
ship of land, mining concessions; ob
ligation on the part of China to ob
tain Japan’s consent to the granting
of railway concessions to any third
power or to the raising of a loan from
any power for railway construction;
transfer of railways.
Owing to Chinese insistance, East
ern Mongolia and Soutn Manchuria
were not discussed Friday. The Jap
anese minister contended that these
two should be discussed on ihe same
basis, but Lu Cheng Hsiang, Chinese
foreign minister, argued that Japan
has no such claims in Eastern Mon
golia as in South Manchuria. 'He
said, however, that China was will
ing to open treaty pons and other
wise .place all foreign nations in a
favorable position relative to trading.
Lu Cheng Hsiang asked that Japan
withdraw Group 6, which contains
some of the most important demands
made by Japan, including the employ
ment of Japanese political, financial
and military advisers, and Japanese
police; Japanese supervision of the
manufacture or purchase of China’s
war munitions and railway and min
ing concessions.
M. Hlokt, the Japanese minister,
said that he would communicate the
request to Tokio. It is understood
that China will communicate with the
powers If Japan insists on retaining
Group 5.
The Tien Tsln-Peklng branch of
the American association, Which in
cludes virtually all American busi
ness men of those two cities, recently
called the attention of Secretary of
State Bryan through the American
minister, Paul S. Retnsch, to what
was termed "the serious nature of
the Japanese demands,” and asked
the American government to take
measures to protect American Inter
ests.
The appeal recently cabled direct
to President Wilson was signed by
seven prominent American mission
aries The whole missionary body
numbers several hundred, but most
of them have not seen the document.
Some of those who were requested to
sign it refused.
The American board sent a circu
lar to its missionaries, instructing
them to refrain from making any
public announcement on political af
fairs. The Young Men’s Christian
association refused to Join the peti
tioners. American missionaries, gen
erally favor the position taken by
China, but few Indulge in publicity
or political activities.

Kronprin/.’s Commander Says He
_ Wants to Leave.
Lieut. Capt. Thierfeldor, captain of
the German converted cruiser Kron-
prinz Wilhelm, delivered to Collector
of Customs Hamilton late Tuesday
bis formal request of the United
States government for time to remain
In Newport News for temporary re
pairs to his ship.
The request was made in two let-
tars, which were forwarded to the
secretary of the treasury, and their
contents not divulged. It la unders
tood the German commander asked
tor three weeks’ time as a maximum
In which to make the Wilhelm sea
worthy,. Jbut that he stated he would
ingke every effort to complete repairs
and Rave port before-that time.
It was learned that, the stipulations
.related only to temporary repairs be

A dozen bandits held up a New

Sanborn, nine miles east of North
Tonawanda, N. Y., early Thursday,
stripped several cars of bolted silk
valued at 150,000 and sped away lu
automobile trucks upou which they

dits were armed with repeating rifles
and automatic pistols and fired sev

short distance, the enginomcn and
three other members of tho train
crew were lined up against a box car
and placed under guard of r single

Four big automobile trucks were in
waiting and quickly were loaded with
the booty. Engineer Goss escaped
the guard and, running through a
fusilade of shots, readied his engine,
made a record run into Suspension
Bridge, eight miles away, and gave
the alarm.
The robbery was the most daring
of its kind ever attempted in that sec

exceeds in value of the proceeds of
any other freight train robbery in the
history of Eastern railroading.

Commerce Raider Stayed Out for 258
Days—Captured Two Guns Off
British Ship-
The second German raider to ar
rive in this country brings as thrill
Ing a ntory as did her precedessor, the
Eltel Friedrich. Her record of de
struction, however, was accomplished
with only four guns, two taken from
the German cruiser Karlsruhe and
two captured from the British mer
chant steamer Lacorrentlna, sunk Oc-
tobe 7, 1914. The most connected
story of the voyage from New York,
255 days In all, during which the
ship never touched land, was told by
Over Lieut. Alb Warneke, the first
officer.
"We left New York August 3,”
said Lieut. Warneke. "Three days
out, off the Bermudas, we met the
German cruiser Karlsruhe. We took
from her two 3-inch guns, which we
mounted. Lieut. Capt. Thierfelder,
navigating officer of the Karlsruhe,
took command of pur ship. We also
took 17 of the Karlsruhe’s junior of
Beers and men.
“We made for the South Atlantic
and th* first ship we encountered was
the British steamer Indian Prince,
which We sunk September 4, 1914.
want to say that Sir Edward Grey,
the British premier, has been kind to
us and that if Great Britain had been
organized as well as we were to pa
trol the South Atlantic we never
could have remained alive these
many months.
“Sir Edward Grey sent us those
two big guns on our after-deck. He
sent them to us on the British Lacor
rentina on October 7. The Lacorren-
tina could not use her guns because
she aidn’t have any ammunition. Af
ter w« took the guns and what of her
<cargo we wanted, we put some bombs
into her and down she went. Some
of the merchant ships we sunk with
our cwn guns, some we blew up with
bombs and in some cases we were
compelled Ao ram the a^ips. ,
"We took on board from enemy
ships during our voyage more than
20,000 tons of coal.
"We made the uniforms for all our
crew from cloth which we captured
from the French steamship Guada-
loupo February 23. We wanted dark
blue, but could only find this gray
blue, and so you see we are strange
looking German sailor men to-day
From the Guadaloupe we also got
shoes, leather and thousands of dol
lars’ worth of things which were on
their way for the French army,”
Lieut. Warneke was asked if the
Kronprinz Wilhelm had not hoped to
get help from the German steamer
Odenwaid. which was held up by the
United States at San Juan, Porto
Rico, several weeks ago. He made
no direct reply to the question, but
declared that the action on the part
of the United Statee in denying clear
ance to the Odenwaid was "the worat
thing America hod done.”
"Why did ycj Americans not give
clearance to the Odenwaid?” he ask
ed. “We heard all about it by our
wireless. We didn’t need any news
papers. We had good wireless ap
paratus aboard all the time. The de
nial of clearance to the Odenwaid
was the only bad thing America haa
done. You simply held that ship up
in Porto Rico until the British ships
could come and try to catch up.”
Lieut. Warneke said that most of
the ore thousand sailors and passen
gers taken from British and other
allied ships were sent from time to
time by German ships to Beunos
Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Pernambuco
and Srntos. Three hundred and sixty
frem the French steamer Guadaloupe
were sent ashore at Pernambuco.
Several weeks ago. the officer said,
the Urinz Wilhelm was getting short
of coal and supplies and some of her
crew and prisoners were afflicted
with beri-berl, caused by the lack of
vegetable food. I had hoped to get
supplies from the German ship Mace-
doaia, which was reported to have
escaped from Ias Palmas. This ves
sel, they learned, however, had been
captured by British ships. This hope
gone, they steamed north and were
in touch with events transpiring re
garding the Prinz Eltel Friedrich.
It was reported that the Wilhelm's
original destination was New Yprk,
but that warnings were given not to
attempt to make that port. Although
officers would not admit it. the Wil
helm is declade to have been wait
ing for out In the ocean off Newport
News until tho Eitel Friedrich was
interned. As soon as this news
reached her she was ordered to creep
in- through the allied ships off the
Virginia coast should they remain
there. ,
That four allied ships were off the
Capes was asserted by several of the
Prinz Wilhelm’s officers. One of theral
declared they were so close that the
sputtering of the wireless on the Brit
ish .and Fren;.h warships could be
heard. The signals from four of them
wore plainly heard, he declared.
