Frye Sinking t BERNSTORFF AGREEABLE Ambassador Wires Home That, While Captain May Have Thought He Was Doing Right, United States Prob ably Has a Just Cause To Ask For Damages IB u A-Mr-tlrd Pres.. -Washington, V. C, March ll.- Gfrnwriy will repudiate the action of the Captain of the Prtnz Eltel Krled rlch in sinking the American hip William P. Krye and make reparation for the loss of the vessel and cargo, in the opinion of German officials here. fount Von Bernstorff, the German amhaiador, after a visit to the State Department today. Indicated that he believed the case would be settled without much difficulty. He told Counsellor LanMlnit what the, Captain of the'Prlnz Kltel had told Captain Hoy-Ed, naval attache of the Aerman embassy, aa to the sinking of the American ohlp: but the Ambassador reserved his own opinion on the com mander's action, saying he hsd no In struction from hia government. Capt. Thlerichens, of the Prim KUel. inforn.ed Captain Boy-Kd that his only guide while at sea for many months and thus out of communtca . tion with his government, was the declaration of London. Thla would permit the destruction of a neutral prize if carrying a cargo more than half of which could "be proved to be contraband, provided il was Impos sible to tuke the vessel to a home .urts without endangering the captor warship. Since war's outbreak Oernmny has deAned its views on shipments of conditional contraband and ..contended that foodstuffs must be proved to be bound actually to the belligerent force of an enemy befoie they can be seized. The tlerman Ambassador sent to his government n full report of -the story of the German captain and the reasons for the latter's action Olve Damages of lJahlc. -It was satd on good aulhority that in his report to his government the Ambassador pointed out that, while the captain acted as beat he could under the, circumstances, luring imor- situatlon, this fact would not affect the neessslty for the. payment of damage and the making or repara tion by the German government, thought it would be an Important fac tor In relieving the commander from personal liability.

Prose Reports Tell All. Counsellor Lansing said nothing bo. I been brought to hia attention which had not already been disclosed ir. reus reports Captain Klehne. Mr. I arising said, had asserted that the Kitl Tried rich came,,orth on a course far. out to sea anil turned due west Into Newport News because of a lack of provisions and the need for repairs. The i.uestinn of damages was dis cussed briefly betwectr the owner of the Frye and .State Department of ficials, who indicatd that If the sink ing of the Frye was proved to be an aggravated case, punitive damages in addition to the value of ship and car go mirht be asked. They pointed out that F.ngland paid 26 per cent puni tive damaca in the famous Alabama case during the Civil War. State Department officials said the next step would be the drafting of a rtalm which could not be completed until definite Information t.d Iveen recivd from owners of the ccrgo. Aa yet the Departmnt knows vry little of the consignees or persons to shorn the cargo was said to have been sold while enroute and condi tions of the sale. As soon as that data I-, obtained the case will be ready for pre ntstion to Germany. Home of ficials, however, believed It was like ly that some word would be received before thnt from the German foreign offlce offering voluntary settlement of the case. - Although Navy Department officials had under consideration the time to he given the Print Eltel for repairs, no announcement was made. At the Ktate Department It was said all neu trality . phases of the case practically had been disposed of. Th report that two Germans taken off the American ship Frye had been held by ths commander of the Prim Kltel for further military service was brought to the attention of Counsellor -Lansing, who said the Plate Depart ment had been informed that the men were German subjects and had volun tarily enlisted In the commerce de stroyer's crew.

March 13 Demands by the I'nlted States upon General Halazar, Zapita commander In Mex ico City, for the punishment of sol diers who murdered John B. McMa nus, an American citizen, and ade quate reparation to Mc'Ianue' family, were repeated today to General Villa. "As Villa and Zapata," said Secre tary Bryan, "have .been co-operating. I thought It was a good idea to make representations to Villa as well, so that theofTenders would be punished." As General Villa has been practical ly in control of the finances of the Villa-Zupa ta government, the ques tion of an indemnity to the family of McManus. it is believed, will be set tled by the northern chief. General Salazar already ban, promised to pun ish McManus' slayers. Mexico City was reported quiet late today.

Villa's repre sentative here, issued a statement to night regarding the McManus rase which sas in part: , Some Doubt in McManus Case. "There are certain features about the McManus case which give rise to a suspicion that thc4eeeaaed might not have been entirely without fault If as stated, he was guilty of having killed three Zapatistas when the latter entered Mexico City some months ago, 11 is equally possible that he might have been detected In sniping on Wednesday last when the same troops again entered the capital. In that case he may have-baen shot by way of reprisal. which circumstance! would tend to relieve the Mexican government from responsibility. "On the other hand, he may have been wantemly shot-by ttn Irresponsi ble group of soldiers. Should Inves igation develop that such was the -ase the American people may be as mred that the provisional government of Mexico will moke due reparation through the payment of a money In demnity to the family of the de ceased. "In this Incident we will be guided by the policy of the Cnrred Stales In "sees In which foreigners have met Jeath by mob violence within its ter ritory. In conformity with that pol icy we desire only a reasonable time within which to complete an Investi gation, and when that is accomplished, prompt and suitable action will be aken."
