HOLLAND PRESS INDIGNANT Demand Made That Whether Subma rine or Mine Sank Pride of Mer cantile Marine, Such Oc currences Must Cease. LONDON', March 17. A Keuter dis patch from The Hague says the Dutch Ministry of Marine has announced that affidavits made by the first and fourth officers and the lookout man of the Tubantia show that the steamer was hit by a torpedo. These men declare they saw in the water a white streak made by the torpedo and that at the moment the streak reached the side of the steamer amidships, the explosion occurred. A Keuter dispatch from Amsterdam says: " '"Richard Schilling, an American who with his wife and daughter arrived here with other survivors of the Tubantia. expressed the opinion that the liner struck a mine." The possibility that there may have been four casualties is indicated by the fact that the Dutch Admiralty says that 3 77 survivors from the Tubantia have arrived in Holland, while the revised list of the steamship company shows that there were 381 persons aboard. raencfr Taken Off First. According to all reports, there was no panic. The boats were launched In their appointed order and the passen gers were all taken off first. The res cue work was difficult, owing to dark ness, the heavy mist and a rough sea. The captain and part of the crew remained on the gradually sinking ship for some time, the wireless operator keeping up the work of guiding Dutch vessels to the rescue. The captain was on the vessel for two hours after she was struck and was the last to leave. The disaster has created a profound sensation throughout Holland. The press comments reflect anger and in dignation. The Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Coiirant says: "Between being torpedoed and being mined, the only difference which exists is that known in criminal law between intention and conditional intention. 1 the ship was torpedoed, then there is absolute intention or ignorance or neg lect equivalent to intention. The sub marine commander must have known, when he gave the command to fire, that the ship was the Tubantia. No words can be found to qualify this crime:, no excuse can be accepted." Germany Declared Responsible. A stronger note is sounded by the Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant, which rays that, no matter whether the Tu bantia was sunk by a torpedo or a mine, the country demands that uch occurrences cease. It declares the gov ernment must make the strongest rep resentations to Berlin, and continues: "The Tubantia was not a mere tramp. fhe was the pride of our . mercantile marine. Every responsible naval com mander would know what she was and whither she was bound. No account of the disaster mentions a warni.ig of any kind. ''There is no excuse. No words can qualify this misdeed, which stultifies all German assurances and promises. "We h;. . nothing to do with officers' 'mistakes.' The German Admiralty is responsible and the demand must be r.-.ade that definite instructions be giv en to the German navy to render it certain that such mistakes will not arise in the future." DIPLOMAT IS OUT $60,000 Bolivia Minister to Germany Loses A'aluable Property. THE HAGUE, via London, March 17, The ministry of marine announces that affidavits by the officers of the Dutch steamer Tubantia show that the eleamer was sunk by torpedo, the wake of which they saw. The ship was struck six feet below the waterline on the starboard side. Dr. Luis Salinas Vega, Bolivian minister to Germany, who was among the survivors, lost personal property valued at $60,000 when the vessel went clown. He and his wife carried away from the Tubantia when they left the sinking vessel three satchels contain ing diplomatic papers and considerable quantities of personal effects. The satchels, however, by some mischance, were left in the lifeboat, which was put ndrift when they went on board the res cue vessel. According to Dr. Vega, four persons were killed in the disaster, including two stokers. Schilling Is Insurance Man. WASHINGTON", March 17.

High tribute was paid tonight to Irishmen and women for the part they have taken in the development of the United States by William H. Taft in an address de livered at the St. Patrick's day banquet of the Irish Fellowship Club. "There has been an easy amalgama tion of the Irish with our American life," said Mr. Taft. "They have added much to the composite American, made from various European stocks. They have eoftened the American wit. They have added to American tenderness. They have increased the spirit of grood fellowship, added to our social graces, increased our poetic imagination, made us more optimistic and added to our sunny philosophy. Anarchy Finds No Sapnortrrm. "Socialism and anarchy have found no lodgement among. Irishmen. They believe in institutions of modern so ciety. They believe in upholding our National and our state governments. They welcome progress. They are en terprising and active to further pros perity. They struggle for equality of opportunity and recognize the value of liberty ordered by law. They are not reaching out for new gods of govern ment. They are not seeking to invent a new society and turn the present one topsyturvy." Food Tested for Poison. Among other guests at the banquet was Archbishop Mundelein. Unusual precautions were taken to prevent a recurrence of the incident which at tended the last public banquet attended by Archbishop Mundelein when 200 guests were made ill by eating poisoned, soup.
