Uncertainty as to Fate of Sec- ond Undersea Liner Prompts Meeting To-Morrow. BALTIMOR Md, July 25.—The etay or departure of the German ubsea freighter Deutschland may be determined to-morrow night In a conference here between her pro- moters, German Ambassador von Bernstorff and Prince von Hatzfel: of the Embassy staff. Despite the mass of misinforma- tion surrounding her venture, it leaked out to-day that Bernstorff, von Hatsfelt, Consul Luderitz and others plan to meet here. Unless the Deutschland's sister ship, Bremen, 8 reported safe in the mean time, the subject of their session, It is assured, will be on the matter of either in- @efinitely interning the Deutschland or making a bold run for home—tak- ing chances with the allied patrol off the Capes. If Bernstorff advises the promoters it will be unofficially, despite his of- ficial position, The whereabouts of the Bremen begins to give somo uneasiness, al- though she has not been out suf ficiently long to make It at all certain that she has met with mishap. When asked to-day the cause of the delay in sailing, Capt. Koenig aald: “Circumstance and conditions over) whioh we have no control are keep- | ing us in Baltimore, There is no cause for alarm from any source, At the proper time we will get away; there is a time for everything.” ‘What these “circumstances and con- ditions” are Koenig would not even Bint. He laughed heartily when asked if ho felt a sense of uneasiness aa the time draws nearer for his de- parture on his perilous voyage. “What ia there to fear?” he replied. ‘The ocean is big and deep.” Loaded with crude rubber and nick- @l, and, it is believed, with a large consignment of gold, the Deutschland Mes at her pier all ready to start, iret naan SWEDISH TORPEDO BOAT SAVES GERMAN SHIPS Russian Destroyers Attacking Mer- chant Vessels in Neutral Waters Put to Flight.

CLEVELAND, O,, July 26.—Twenty- | two men are dead and half a dozen others are dying as the result of an explosion of gas in a waterworks tun- nel five miles from shore and fifty feet under the bottom of Lake Erie | late last night. ‘The dead include workmen who were trapped in the tunnel when gas ex- ploded and members of two rescue | parties who attempted to save the men | first trapped.

Premier Aaquith wi understood to be ready also to a! down If Lloyd George retired. Threat to submit the question to @ vote of the peopio in a general elec- tlon was freely made during the Commons debate, Tho only hope of averting such a break lay to-day in the chance that the Irish Nationalists would consent to further negotiations—and with John Redmond, the followers hurling charges of breach of faith at the Ministry, it was ad- mitted this hope was a faint one.

The office of Augustine Birrell, ex-Chief Secretary for Ireland, remains unfilled, and Herbert Samuel, the head of the Home Office, who has no special knowledge of Irish affairs, represents the interest of Ireland in the Cabinet and before the House of Commons. Great Hritain finds itself, ut one of the most critical stages of the war, again distracted by wranglings over the old problem and with no lght ahead. The Nationalist Members in the House of Commons, who as a us far have supported the Government's war and domestic measures, threaten to shift their po tion and to become an opponition party.
