A requast was cabled to the United States authorities by the yacht owner for release from the bond given before leaving New York not to use arms, and an answer was returned that there was no authority for such release. This practically denied the right to protect ithe lives of Americans, but, notyith- | standing, preparations were continued to afford such protection in whatever way was deemed advisable.

HAD NO- OBJEGTION TO HIM And Displayed Same Attitude Toward Other Candidates—Desired to Have Republican Elected to Senate, Washington, July 20.—The story of the administration’s attitude toward the ~election of Semator Lorimer, as told by former Senator Nelson Aldrich of Rhode Island, and the tivities of R. J. Shields of Superio Wis., an insurance agent, in collect ing affidavits from witnesses in the investigation, were features of the Senator Lorimer hearing today. What Aldrich Told Hines. Instead of sending Edward Hines, the Chicago lumber man to Spring- field, with word from the Washing- ton admimsiration that Lorimer should be elected, Mr. Aldrich testified that he told Hines that President Taft was not supporting the candidacy of any one, but that Lorimer was not objec- tionable to him. et Taft Had No Objection to Others. The former senator said he told Hines previously that the president had no objection to Albert J. Hopkins or Henry S, Boutell for the senator- ship. Statement from White House. A statement from the White House last March in regard to the election was read to the witness. The only point concerning which he said he knew nothing was the declaration‘that a request had been made on the pres- ident to sign a telegram stating his views on Lorimer's candidacy. The Facts of the Case. The White house statement, given out March was as follows: “The fact with reference to the president's relation to Senator Leori- mer’s election is this: Taft Asked to Favor Lorimer. “That during the tariff fight gentle- men came to him and expressed their interest in the passage of the tariff bill; and said that it had been sug- gested from Hlinois that it would be wise for the president to express an opinion in favor of the election of Mr. Lorimer. He did_not know Mr. Lorimer well, although he knew that he was an influential member of con- gress, but he did know Hopkins. Refused to Urge Lorimer’s Election. “He knew very little about Ilinois politics; but expressed a desire that there should be two republican sena- tors from Jllinois, but when asked to put that in the form of a. telegram urging’ the election of Mr. Lorimer he declined to do so. Hines’ Statement Wholly Unfounded. | “The statement by Mr. Hines that the president was anxjous for, and was urging the election of Mr. Lori- mer, is wholly unfounded.” The President’s Attitude. Senator Kenyon asked if the presi- dent manifested any disposition in fa- vor of Lorimer’s election. Mr. Aldrich said that he did not care to go into conversations he had with the presi- dent and that his testimony as to what he told Hines explained the pres- ident's attitude fully. “When did you begin to take an ac- tive interest in the election of a sen- ator from Illinois?” continued Senator Kenyon. Did Not Take Active Part. “I never took an active part. I was no more interested in that election than I was in the election of other re- publican senators.” “You were the senate leader, were you not?* “There were many who = did not agree to that,” responded Mr. Aldrich. Would Not Criticise Associates. Scnator Kenyon at another time, when the witness was talking about “g0od” republicans, asked him if he considered that there were “bad” re- publicans in the senate, When he was leader. “I am not here to pass on my as- sociates,” responded Mr. Aldrich curt- PRINCE JAIME TO UNDERGO OPERATION of Spanish King and Queen Loses Power of Speech.

To Draw Out Soft Mud. The enginecrs intend to begin to- morrow the work of drawing out the soft mud by suction, but as the lower- ing’ of the mud level proceeds thel probably will be compelled to resort to other methods, such as the slow pro- cess of digging and hoisting the ma- terial out in buckets. Simultaneously they will begin the work of dissecting the great confused masses of steel Bow Section Stands 20 Feet High. The bow section, represented by ths plates and beams of the bottom. of the ship, is now standing upwards of 0 feet high. All portions of this section have been fully identified, including the remains of water tanks originally located on the Jowest deck and appar- ently not affected by any possible re- sults of the explosion of the maga- zines. Ail Parts Photographed. All shese parts have been carefull photographed for future examinati and to confirm the identification pieces to the dissection of the wreckage which will bg accomplished by hydro- acetelyne blas as soon as the appara- tus is installed and derricks for the removal of the dismembered parts are erected. Mud Level at Water Line. As the wreck now has exposed part of the armor belt of the amidship sec tion on the starboard side, it indicat that the mud level is about equivalent to the normal water line of the ship. Hope to Find Assistant Engineer Merritt. The aft amidship section of the berth deck, on which are the wardroom’and the officers’ staterooms, is fully ex- posed, but is almost entirely filled vith mud, especially on the port side the removal of which will be slow and dil ficult. Hopes are entertained that in this section may be found the body of Assistant_Engineer Merritt, who is be- lieved to have been in his stateroom at the time of the disaster. g Fire-Scorched Bones Found. Some fire-scorched bones were dis- covered this aftzrnoon in the vicinity of the overturned conning tower, where the remains of probably four bodies were previously found. It is believed that these wers members of the crew who at the moment of the explosion were sleeping in hammocks suspended frem the ceiling of the forward berth deck, which was blown up and folded back over tha central superstructure, 50 feet aft of its original position. No Hope of Identification. doubt_all of the men perish=d None of the remains offer the least hope of identification. In view of the total demolition of ths crew berthing space, hope diminishes that any considerable number of re- mains will be recovered. Four Months to Clean Out Mud. From present indications threz or four months will elapse before the mud surrounding the wreck is moved and all portions of the 8 made visible. No instantly.
