The Hasrue, April 16. U. P.) With
the entire country stirred to the hlgrh
est pitch of excitement as a result of
: tha sinking- of the Dutch steamer Kat
.". i wyk, Minister of Marine Rambonnet
continued his investigation today into
what is regarded as the gravest lnct
' dent, so far as Holland is concerned,
since the opening of the war. .
. . Bambonnet announced that he was
- satisfied that Katwyk was sunk by a
:;'!' submarine. He refrained from indl
' eating the nationality of the undersea
raider, declaring that the official in
. ; qulry was still in progress, and, that
such announcement would be with
held until all facts were known.
j' v. It was admitted today that the crew
of the Katwyk was unable to state
positively whether the submarine was
"A British, French or German. It is gen
i erally accepted, however, that it was a
German craft, and demands for drastic
' action have come from the Dutch
press.
v As the Katwyk carried a cargo of
2 ' grain consigned to the Dutch govern
tnent, the Incident is regarded as being
Vf of the utmost importance, if Dutch
shipping is to be assured of any pro
teciion whatever as the war proceeds.
: The Katwyk is' declared to have been
at anchor when attacked. The vessel
is said to have bad all lights burning
and the Dutch flag displayed. The
crew of the Katwyk said they saw
enly the periscope of. the submarine
which torpedoed their vessel, but that
there wag" no doubt of the Katwyk
" having been the -victim of a torpedo
f which was fired without the slightest
warning.
"We must expect that' the German
government will, without loss of time,
be made responsible for this severe
violation of the rights of neutral
powers," the Amsterdam Telegraaf de
clared in commenting on the attack.
"How many similar proofs of f riend
C' ship must we endure before we de
clar we prefer open enmity."
An investigation is also being made
of reports that four Dutch trawler
'have been seized by German warships
t and taken to one of their naval bases.
Germany Is Investigating.
Berlin (via Amsterdam), April 16.
k (C P.) The German government began
" an Oficial investigation today uito the
charge that a German submarine sank
the Dutch steamer Katwyk, bearing a

:;:J No official comment could be ob

that the -government intended to oh-

Seattle, Wash.. April 16. (P. N. S.)
Envoys of the constitutionalist gov
ernment of Mexico, Colonel M. Peres
Romero, recently appointed minister to
Japan, and M. C. Tellez, former Mexi
can consul at Yokohama, and now sec
retary of the Mexican legation to
Japan, sailed from Seattle this morn
ing aboard the steamship Shldsuoka
Maru. The two diplomats came to Se
attle from VancouVer. B. C, after a
tour of the United States and Canada.
Colonel Romero has spent the past
month on diplomatic business In Cuba
and ln Canada. It has been his duty
during that time to reorganise the
Mexican diplomatic service in these
countries, and his mission to Japan
will be to rebuild the diplomatic serv
ice of his country in the orient.
That the constitutionalist govern
ment is on the threshold of a success
ful conquest of Mexico is the opinion
expressed by Colonel Romero.
Bays Carranza Will Win.
"It is only a question .of time, and
that time is very -short." he declared,
"until the last opponent of Carransa is
driven from the country. We have
been winning everything of late, and
oUr reverses have been more apparent
than real.
"Do not look for anything further
from Huerta. He is at least wise
enough tp keep out of my country,
where constitutionalist and rebel, out
law or peon, would only welcome a
chance to wreak vengeance upon him
as the greatest enemy Mexico ever had.
They will never pardon the assassina
tion of Madero. Huerta will never cross
the boundary line."
"Colonel Romero is the brother of
the widow of the late Francisco ' Ma
dero, and it was he who went to the
penitentiary and obtained the body of
his brother-in-law after the assassina
tion. He remained in Mexico several
months, straightening up the personal
affairs of his sister-,
"Mexico Cannot Be Conquered."
Until about "two months ago, Ci'',nel
Romero was in active military tervice
with the. Carranza forces in Mexlco.He
left his military duties to accept the
appointment as minister to Japan.
, "I have hopes," said Colonel Romero,
"that the unfortunate conditions in zpy
country soon will be ended. My Mex
ico is young. My Mexico has plenty
of life to it and cannot be conquered.
Mexico will be saved by a Mexican
by a strong Mexican, and not by a
bandit. It will be by a Mexican who
will act. as a surgeon, who will cure
the sores and amputate the dead parts'
of the national body.
"Where is the man? Who Is the
man. When will . the man afjpcar? I
do not know."
Huerta Denies Responsibility.
New York, April 16. Strenuous de
nial of responsibility for the death of
Francisco Madero, late president of
Mexico, was voiced here today by Gen
eral Huerta, former provisional presi
dent. Comparing himself to General Jack
son of Civil war fame, Huerta said:
"I was in no way responsible for
Madero's death. Perhaps I know who
was, but am withholding the informa
tion as a professional secret. But the
time will come when my name will be
vindicated and the world will say of
me that I stood like a stone wail, sub
mitting bravely to the ignominy and
insults that have been heaped upon
me."
Huerta has issued a lengthy state
ment reviewing the history of the Ma
dero revolution, his own accession to
the provisional presidency and the
causes at the bottom of his failure to
bring about peaceful rule.

WEST CASE MAY NOT
GET TO JURY AT ALL
BEFORE NEXT WEEK
Attorn eyNicriols- in Arguing
Against Directed Verdict i
. Takes Up Morning Session
MAY WORK AT NIGHT
Btill Mnea Interest la Trial, Borne, of
the Spectators Taking Jaach
. With Them.
Baker, Or., April 16. Prospects of
getting r; the Wiegand-West - damage
case to tho Jury, this week art almost"
nil, as Attorney Nichols, for ths plain
tiff, had at noon Just concluded his
argument against th motion by Col
lier for a directed verdict ln favor of
West. Collier will reply this afternoon,-probably-at
some length, as
Nichols in the four hours of his argu
ment cited authority after authority
to 'back. his claims that the confisca
tion of Wiegand's property, without
Judicial hearing, was -a violation of ths
law, on the part;' of the former gov
ernor. . . .
If motion for a directed verdict is
overruled, ths arguments before the
Jury and instructions of the court can
hardly be crowded into one day. Pos
sibly a night ' session tonight and a
long session tomorrow may get ths
case to the Jury tomorrow night.
Interest still continues, although the
long - arguments and reading of the
law is not of as Interesting a nature
as the evidence, which was heard by
the largest crowds ln the court room
since testimony was taken in the fa
mous Sidney Love divorce case. After
the first day of the trial, many spec
tators coming from a distance brought
lunch with them, remaining close to
the court room during ths noon hour
to retain their seats.
Both Collier and Nichols are making
strong efforts. Collier to prevent the
case getting to the Jury, having moved
both for non-suit and a directed ver
dict, and Nichols striving to pass the
Issues to the Jurors.
