Germany has completely acceded to the American demands for settlement of the Arabic case. The imperial government, in a letter presented yesterday by its am bassador, Count Von Bernstorff, to Secretary Lansing, disavows the sink ing of the vessel, announces that it has so notified the submarine com mander who made the attack, ex presses regrets for the loss of Amer ican lives and agrees to pay an in demnity to their families . Official Washington was both grat ified and relieved by the diplomatic victory. The communication de livered by the ambassador pursuant to general instructions from his gov ernment gives absolute confidence that there would be no more submarine controversies between the United States and Germany, for the docu ment reveals that stringent orders have been given to submarine com manders to prevent a recurrence of such incidents as the Arabic. May Settle All Disputes. Since this case embraces the princi ples for which President Wilson con tended in his notes following the tor pedoing of the Lusitahia and the Falaba, the concessions made by Ger many to the American viewpoint were generally,, regarded last night as pav ing the way for amicable settlement of all the cases which have threat ened severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Count Von Bernstorff left here last night, happy over the results of his work, expressing the confident hope that relations between Germany and the United States would continue to improve. Note to Great Britain. With the settlement of the Arabic controversy, the dispatch to Great Britain of the long delayed American note on interference with trade is ex pected within a few days. President Wilson has consistently refused to send this communication while the issues with Germany were pending, because the Berlin government had, through its notes, given the impres sion that on the action which the United States took with one set of bel ligerents depended its own conform ity to international law. As the issues with Germany appear now to be ad justing themselves, the president, it is known, feels free to press Great Britain for a modification of the or ders in council and restrictions of American trade. It was not until the German am bassador submitted his letter at near ly 1 o'clock yesterday that the change in the relations between Germany and the United States became definite. Until that hour the suggestions Count Von Bernstorff had made were con sidered unsatisfactory. In New York last Saturday the ambassador , . had submitted a draft of a letter on the Arabic case, but since it did not in clude admission of liability and agree ment to pay indemnity, its terms were not acceptable to either President Wilson or Secretary Lansing. Yes terday he came to Washington at the request of Mr. Lansing. In a few minutes he learned of the American government's objections, and in return gave oral assurances that these would be promptly over come. Von Bernstorff's Letter. Returning to the embassy, the am bassador re-drafted the letter origin ally delivered in New York and sent it by messenger to the state depart ment. Secretary Lansing carried it to the White House and shortly after ward announced its text, which fol lows: "My dear Mr. Secretary: "Prompted by the desire to reach a satisfactory agreement with regard to the Arabic incident my government has given me the following instruc tions: The orders issued by his ma jesty, the emperor, to the comman ders of the German submarines, of which I notified you on a previous occ asion, has been - made so stringent that the recurrence of incidents simi lar to the Arabic case is considered out of the question. "'"According to the report of Com mander Schneider of the submarine which sank the Arabic and his affi davit as well as those of his men Commander Schneider was convinced that the Arabic intended to ram the submarine. "On the other hand the imperial government does not doubt the good faith of the affidavit of the British officers of the Arabic according to which the Arabic did not intend to ram the submarine. The attack of the submarine was undertaken against the instructions issued to the com mander. The imperial government re grets and disavows this act and has notified Commander Cchneider accord ingly . "Under these circumstances my gov ernment is prepared to pay an in demnity for American lives which to its deep regret have been lost on the Arabic. I am authorized to ne gotiate with you about the amount of this indemnity. "I remain, my dear Lansing. "Yours very sincerely, "I. von Bernstorff." The promptness with which Count von Bernstorff altered the original draft of the letter demonstrated that he had been empowered to negotiate a complete settlement of the case, and it was assumed that he naturally did not finally accede until the Amer ican government made known its un alterable determination not to relin quish any of its. demands. Landing Much Pleased. Secretary Lansing made no com ment on the ambassador's letter ex cept to remark that it spoke for it self. He was very much pleased over the conclusion of the case, be cause since the sinking of the Arabic he inaugurated' the idea of personal negotiations in Washington. This method of exchanging views was wel comed by Count von Bernstorff, also, particularly as he has had no means of direct communication with his gov ernment. To this lack of communi cation has been attributed much of the ill-feeling that characterized the earlier stages of the submarine con troversy. Satisfaction Everywhere. Yesterday's events spread satisfac tion everywhere, not only at the White House and state department, but the German embassy as well. The recent critical stage of the negotiations which threatened rupture of diplomat ic relations had raised to the keenest point the tension at the embassy "His excellency is contented." Was the comment that ran from the por ter's lodge to the chancery when the ambassador returned with the an nouncement that the United States government was satisfied. The smiling faces of the embassy's personel, busy preparing for the return of the staff from summer quarters a fortnight hence, reflected the spirit displayed by their chief. "It is a diplomatic victory for the United States," the ambassador re marked to a friend, "but credit must be given to Germany. I believe, for nobly accepting the word of the Brit ish officers that they did not intend to ram the submarine." This point, it was learned, at one time threatened to interrupt the pro ceeding as the German government at first wished to arbitrate the conflict ing evidence.

DESTROYER CUMMINGS ARRIVE AT NEWPORT Two Members of Crew Burned asRe- sult of Explosion on Destroyer Hushed to Naval Hospital. Newport, R. I., Oct. 6 The tor pedo boat destroyer Cummings, on board of which two men were burned as a result of an evplosion end fire at sea yesterday, arrived here early today. The men. were taken to the Naval hospital, where it was an nounced that although they were severly burned about the head, face and body it was expected that they would recover. The men are George Trutillo, a first class fireman, of Jemes, N. M., and Thomas Shea, a water tender, of Patterson, N. J. The destroyer was only slightly damaged.

A sheet of flame shot out. In response to these men's cries, other members of the crew rushed into the fire room, pulled them out and rendered first aid by wrapping them in blankets and ap plying oil to their burns. The fire was quickly subdued. In view of the serious condition of the two men, Lieutenant J. C. FVe mont, in command of the destroyed, ordered the vessel to put back at full speed to this port, which she had. left Monday to assist in .the operations of the attacking fleet in the naval war game. . The Cummings at the time of the explosion was about 500 miles out. Although the weather was thick, she raced back to Newport at a speed of twenty-five knots an hour. The fleet of battleships which came into Narragansett Bay yesterday in the course of their operations as part of the defending fleet in the war game put to sea again during the night. They were the battleships Ar kansas, Virginia, Louisiana, Nebraska, New Jersey and Rhode Island, and the destroyers Monaghan, Roe, Perry and Walke. It was understood that the Arkansas, which was reported last night as having had engine trouble would be taken to the New York navy yard for repairs. FRENCH LAND 70,000 .
