PLAN TO REBUILD FIRE SWEPT SECTION OF COLON. Warm Praise Given U. S. for Relief Extended to Homeless. Colon, May 4.—Plans for rebuilding the large section of this city which | was burned over in the disastrous fire | of April 30 were discussed yesterday at a meeting attended by President Porras, and Secretary of Foreign Af- fairs Ernesto T. Lefevre, with the principal merchants and land lease 'holders. The chief - question discussed was whether the new struc- tures should be of reinforced concrete rather than of wood as was the case before the conflagration. The commercial outlook in Colon is so gloomy that it is feared many of those whose prperty was destroyed will lack funds to rebuild with con- crete. The suggestion was made that the Panama Railroad company or the Panama = government should make loans to the most needy while import duties should be remitted and help supplied in other ways. It was pro- | posed that.mortgages on the new | buildings should'be given as seccurity for money loaned.

Peking, May 4, 12:15 p. m.—The sympathetic attitude of the forecign especially the British papers, has encouraged the Chinese until they now apparently have resolved to con- cede nothing further to Japan. Chinese £pirit has been aroused in an unpre- cedented manner and the government is faced with threatened internal trouble if it makes any additional con- cessions. Ultimatum to China, Tokio, May 4, 9:30 a. m.—Minister of Justice Ozaki is quoted by timatum to China, urging her to re- consider the decision to make no fur- ther concessions to Japan. It is explained in official circles that Japan has no desire to resort to force, but that China “must, be made to realize this couhtry is = determined upon the acceptance ‘of its program for solidifying the peace of the Orient.” Ultimatum ‘Froper’ Step. The' press, edpsiders the ultimatum that" it Chjnd refuses to yield Japan should occupy provinces like ‘Shan- tung, “until China comes to her senses.”” This, the paper says, would not' constitute a violation of China’'s integrity, ‘‘since its sole alm would i'be to ensure the integrity of the country.” The belief is professed in some the last minute that additional con- cessions are possible and in' this way avert the ultimatum.

WILSON SILENT ON GULFLIGHT INCIDENT President Refrains from Comment on Wrecking of American Steamer 3 By German Torpedo. Washington, May 4.—President Wil- son refrained from comment today on the wrecking of the American steamer Gulflight by a German torpedo, pend- | ing receipt of advices on all the facts and circumstances. The president said he expected a full report from Consul Sfephens at Plymouth, Eng., as well as from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin, ¥ When asked concerning the case of Leon C. 'Thresher, an American | drowned with the British steamer | Falaba was sunk by a German sub- marine, President Wilson revealed that no representations have as vet been made to Germany but -that, probably, it would be treated with the other cases that had arisen, as, in his | opinion, they all seemed a part of the war zone circumstances. Barly today the President and Sec- rétary Bryan conferred at length, but it was said they did not discuss. any line of policy in the war zone cases, | deferring that until a complete inves- | tigation of the Gulflight incident had | been made. Although- state department officials who have looked into the legal phases of the matter based on the prelimi- nary reports are convinced that there was no excuse for the attack on the Gulflight. Secretary Bryan reiter. ated his statement that unt@l the of- ficia] facts in the case are in hand no decision would be reached as to the American government's policy or its representations to Germany. The United States, however, probably will demand ample reparation in case the inquiry discloses that a German sub- marine made the attack. STRICT PROHIBITION ORDER.

London, May 4, 7 a. m.—The question as to how Japan can recon- cile some of her demands upon China with her professed intention of up- holding the independence of that country is' asked by the Manchester Guardian in reviewing editorially the Chino-Japanese negotiations, “China. does agree,” says Guardian, “to the request that she “shall not cede to a third power any harbors, bays or Islands along her | coasts—an undertaking against which nothing can be said except that it ap- | parently leaves Japan free to demand | from China just what China is for- bidden to grant to a third party. If Japan would enter into a self-deny- ing ordinance then, indeed, China and those who wish her well would have solid ground for satisfaction. But at present we reinain puzzled to know how Japan can reconcile some of her demands, those for instance which China has refected, with her - pro- fessed intenti®n of iiphulding the in- | dependence of China.” Premier Oknma Disappointed, Tokio, May 4.,11:15 & m.—The | Kokumin Shimbun teday gquotes Pre- the | | newspapers as having announced that ! the cabinet had decided to send an ui- | a proper 'step...
