New York, May 19—A cable
gram received in this city from
I London this morning states that the
submariue warfare in the German
blockade zone has been stopped,
| pending a rqply to the American
note by Germany.
*
j Washington, May 19—Germany's
! answer to the American note is
expected before the end of the
week.
The diplomatic activity cf the
German and Austrian ambassadors,
both of whom are understood to be
endeavoring to prevent a rupture be
tween the United States and Ger
many, is attracting much attention
lere in official circles.
The diplomat of neither country,
nowever, would discuss the situa
tion. It is understood that bcth
advised their governments to sus
pend submarine operations against
I oassenger ships during the progress
I cf the negotiations.
All interest now centers on the
| 'Ossible replr of Germany. Absolut^
I ly no official word ha.-» been re
|- eived as to the attitude of that
government, and all present con
clusions are based yurely upon
newspaper reports and unofficial
•idvices.
It is not difinitely known here
whether there is any substance or
not to the intiraatioas from Ber
liu that Germany may be willing to
submit to arbitration.
In some subtle manner, however,
it is felt that the tension has I
slackened and that the two coun-1
tries directly concerned will find
t method of reaching an agreement
without an open rupture. This
opinion is based mostly upon the
present energetic action of the
German and Austrian ambassadors
here to maintain friend!) relations,
which is taken as a reflection from
their home government.

Kttchikan Progressive, May 15th:
It is reported that recently, the
Metlakahtlans have been holding
meetings and gathering evidence up
on which to base the foundation for
an action against Mr. Duncan to
recover part of the accumulated so
called community property of the
settlement, and making a division.
In speaking of the matter yester
day with one of the most promin
ent Metlakahtlaus, it was learned
that even 'the sidewalks of the
♦own are claimed by Mr. Duncan as
his property. This, together with
other improvements, which is claim
ed as community property, the
ownership of which should be de
termined for all time, is given as
the reason for the Intended action.
The informant said, however, that
lie had advised the natives to sub
mit the settlement of this difficulty
to arbitration and abide by the
result.
