' lOlftiSEMI-WEEKJ-Y, ... 1 1 Of I fl IIILU MU1 lit UNITED STATES Break With Cuba Regarded By Some As forerunner of Break With America, Fostered By Agents of the Kaiser CUBAN M'EXICANRJSS . INVOLVED IN DOUBT Just What Rupture of Relations, If They Are Ruptured, Is Over li Not Clear To Havana Nor Washington WASHINGTON, May 26 ( Associated Press) While the Mexican foreign minister ha notified the state department in i lavana that the sudden and un explained recall from Cuba of the Mexican chaige d'affaires and the, handing of his passports to' the, Cuban minister in Mexico are not to be taken to mean that a rup ture in the relations between the two Republics has been brought about, and while Sub-Secretary of State Patterson of Cuba has de nied that the relations between the two countries are necessarily broken, there is an opinion here that the Cuban-Mexican situation means much more to. the United States than appears on the sur face. Those here most familiar with Latin-American affairs think that Mexico's break with Cuba is only the forerunner of more direct ac tion on the part of President Car ranza against the United States, possibly the suspension of all in tercourse. While practically noth- inn has been made public, it IS known in well advised circles here that there h.as, been increasing friction of late in the relations be tween the two countries, due to the presence in Mexico of a host of German agents working to. create an anti-American senti ment throughout Mexico. EXACT STATUS HAZY The exact Mexican-Cuban sit uation is doubtful, there being a wide divergence in the various in terpretations put upon the depar ture from i lavana of the Mexican charge, and despatches from Ha vana indicate that there is equal uncertainty there as to the exact attitude of Mexico or the exact impression the recall of her rep resentative is intended to create. It is understood here that the direct grievance held by Mexico against Cuba arises over the fact that the Mexican minister to the Argentine was delayed in Hava n a, where h i's baggage was searched by the Cuban authori ties. This is taken as an insult to the Mexican diplomatic ser vice, the envoy being treated as i! under suspicion of serving Ger many. Whatever the reason for the 1 riiik, it is believed here that it will not be unwelcomed in Cuba, as ttie Cuban authorities will now have a freer hand in the matter of Mexicans suspected of being German agents in Cuba. The Mqxicij (mb,ssaclor. hare slates that he ha,9 hot been ad vised of the reason for the dismis sal of the Cuban minister from M exico. w. a. a.

Colonel Bowman has -made arrange ments to have a party of Japanese, all of whom are expert woodsmen, make their way along a pig trail that runs on the bank of the Wailuku Rivet from Kaiwiki to the point where the other stream, down which Major Clark and Sergeant Gray found their way to civili cation, joins the main watercourse. Colonel Bowman met the visiting offi cers yesterday morning and informed them of the arrangements that had beeu made for the search for the sea plane. He told them that the easiest way for them to reach Puu Oo n h 'sas to go to Walmea and theu to the Humuulu sheep station, and thence to the home of Manager Shutte. Discovery Believed Sure The Japanese who left Hilo yester luy took with them an aneroid so they will know when they have reached the right elevation. They will then search Ihe i'uua side of the stream down which Major Clark and his compauHni wandored. In the meantime the nth' cers will go down from Iuu Oo aKmg trail that leads in the general direc tion of the spot the seaplane is thought 'o have landed.
