WASHINGTON. Pith. 23.?Proposais
have been made informally by the
United .State; to both (Jreat Urilaio
and Germany, suggesting a basis for
an understanding <?n (he subjects of
foodstuffs for tile civilian population
of IjclliKerunts and submarine war
fare against merchant ships.
These propnsuls have been guarded
with the utmost secrecy and officials
have not revealed their nature because
of lite delicacy of the negotiations.
l?ojncldcnt with the revelation to
night that a new move had boeh made
by the Washington government, dis
patches were received telling of tLa
blowing up of a second American ves
sel, the steamship Carlb, near th?
German coast.
The wreck or the first vessel, the
Kvelyit, was viewed by President Wil
son as a tragic accident due to pos
sible failure of the captain to heed
the German admiralty's Instructiov.s
respecting tlie locution of mine fields.
Officials tonight believed tho Carlb
disaster was of similar nature, though
they had no official advices.
1'ropnsals made to the belligerents,
it Is known, are of rarreaching Im
portance. They were embodied In a
confidential memorandum which both
Ambassadors Pago and Gerard were
Instructed to take up Informally with
the respective foreign offices at Lon
don and Berlin. The new communi
cations are not replies-to the notes
of Germany and Great Britain though
they relate to tho same subject They
constitute what is doscribed in llplo
macy as "Informal Inquiries" anl,
frequently. If acceptable, became for
mal.
Speculation us to what the sugges
tions wem was wldCBprcul In llplomn
tic quarters.. It wob said. The belief
most commonly held.c wns that til
Uultcd States bad proposed some form
of supervision over the distribution
of foodstuffs to tho civilian popula
tion of Germany, either by American
consul agents or American organiza
tions.
Germany lias offered to abandon her
submarine warfare It assured that
shlpc laden with foodstuffs for Ger
many willl not be Interrupted by
Great Britain.
President Wilson discussed with
his cubinet today the general -witna
tion produced by the declaration or a
submarine war on merchant vessels
and It was said later the replies from
England and Germany to the inform
al representations would have consid
erable bearing on the final course of
the American government.
Earlier In the day the President in
dicated that ho had uot decided wheth
er the notes received from Germany
and Great Britain on the sea zones
and tho uho of neutral flags requir
ed rejoinders.
Officials tonight spoke guardedly,
but witli no concealment of ' their '
apprehensions over the situation
which might develop if American lives
were lost as'*a result of a uubmarlne
attack.
Tho C?rlb wus the Bccond ship in
sured liy the government war risk
Insurance bureau. There was $2:1."?.
000 on her cargo und $22.253 on her
hull. With a loss on the Evelyn, the
bureau probably will have to pay a
total of $6">t>,000 which about equals
the sum collecte to date in premiums.
Undoubtedly both - cases will be the
subject of slv|l .suits for damages by
the bureau.

COTTON MAKES
SHARP DECLINE
Feared England Would Put Cot
ton on Contraband
List.
NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 23.?Cotton
was under pressure throughout to
day's session and the widest decline
in several weeks resulted. The close
was nl the lowest, a net decline of 24
to 27 points. Selling was inspired
by fear that England would put i0t
ton on the contraband list and was
about equally divided between the
two a xnuuls. Spot houses, export
ers, ho.ises which operate for German
spinners and spot merchants, and
speculators boarishly inclined all
combined to bring about a largo
volume of selling order:.. At times
the market wus ooft.
Fear tlmt tlu> situai ion abroad
would materially check the outward
movement of the crop was the domi
nating influence of the day. The enor
mous amount of cotton afloat for
Europe, l.i?OO.OOO bales last Friday,
the large amount of cotton ut ports
awaiting shipments and tHe licavy
forwurd engagements for export made
the question of the next move by the
belligerents - Important.
Exports over the holidays carried
the total for the season over the five
million murk, the figures tonight be
ing 5.043.324 bales. Hears predicted
cancellation of export engagement
should the present situation continue.
Cotton futures closing:
March 7.78; May 8.03: July 8.2.1;
October 8.49: December 8.G4.
Snot cotton -quiet, unchanged. Sales
