reached Sycamore, I1L, where she en

insane and was committed to the
Watertown asylum. She died In 1916

MINISTER MARINA SAYS NATION
WILL STAY NEUTRAL.
Recent Advices Have Indicated Notice
Served That German Shipping
Will Be Seised.
MADRID, Aug. 20. General Jose Ma
rina, the Minister of War, today de
clared that the international situation
gave no occasion for alarm on the part
of Spaniards. The note recently sent
by the Spanish government to Berlin
regarding the sinking of Spanish ships
by German submarines, he said, could
hot bring a change in Spain's attitude
of neutrality.
Some mystery evidently attaches to
the diplomatic note reported to have
been sent by Spain to Germany.
Recent advices from Madrid were
that a note had been dispatched to Ber
lin regarding the torpedoing of Spanish
ships by German U-boats and that as
soon as the document had been received
at the German capital it would be made
public by Eduardo Dato, the Spanish
foreign Minister.
It was reported that the note in
cluded a notice to Germany that Spain
would compensate herself for future
losses from Interned German vessels
in Spanish harbors.
Foreign Minister Dato In order to
allay alarm, issued a denial Sunday to
the recent Spanish press reports that
the neutrality of Spain was threatened.
