SUBMARINE QUESTION
A. P. A. Service
WASHINGTON, April 7.—
The submarine situation was
again under consideration by the
president and cabinet today and
the entire matter was gone over
oughly with especial refer
ence to the Sussex sinking. Noth
ing was given out concerning the
deliberations. There is every rea
son to believe that the United
States will not reveal any of the
’formation now in its possession
until the German government has
admitted or denied responsibility
in the Sussex case. It is unoffi
cially intimated, however, that
the government has authentic in
formation that the Sussex was
torpedoed. Fragments of a sub
marine torpedo are said to have
been found in the hold of the ves
sel on her arrival in Boulogne.

A. P- A. Service
LONDON, April 7.—A Reuter
dispatch from Shanghai today
says that the Kwan-Tung prov
ince of which Canton is the capi
tal has seceded from the republic
and declared its independence- To
all appearances Yuan has now
lost all hold on the Chinese na
tion and it is believed that it will
ulitmatcly resolve itself into a
number of independent states
with no allegiance to a central
government such a* formerly pre
vailed. The announcement that
Ivwan-Tung has joined the revolt
against the Yuan government has
caused grave apprehension as to
the safety of the many foreigners
living in that section of China.

LANSING DENIES U. S.
ASKED TO WITHDRAW
By A P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON April 8.
Owing, doubtless, to the prevalent
reports that the Carranza gov
ernment has asked the United
States to withdraw its troops
from Mexico, Secretary Lansing
issued a positive denial of the
rumors this afternoon. The sec
retary says that the reports have
absolutely no foundation as Mex
ico has not even remotely sug
gestcd to the government that the,
soldiers be withdrawn
The prevalent opinion now is I
that Carranaz recognizes his own,
inability t ■ capture the bandit |
1 chid without tlic co-operation of
the Americans and he will there
fore probably make no protest
until the strength of Villa is .->u
broken that he will no longer be
a thorn itt the side of the defacto
government.
The report that Mexico had
asked the return of the Ameri
can troops was also denied by
Secretary Baker late this after
noon. He said that there was no .
basis to the ^reports that thr
troops would be withdrawn, es
pecially now that they were mov
ing rapidly toward the comple
tion of the purposes of the expe
dition^
FUNSTON’S ORDERS ARE
TO DESPERSE BANDITS
A. P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, April 8.
The war department orders di
recting General Funstcn to send
a force of American troops into,
Mexico was made public today i
and reveal for the tirst time that
the purpose of the expedition bj
not necessarily the capture of Vil-'
la as has been generally supposed ;
Tile instructions transmitted to,
the American commander were'
not to capture Villa dead or alive
but to dispu'so the bandits, with,
the understanding that the Uni-1
ted State-) would withdraw her
troop-, from Mexico as soon as
Carrana indicated that he was
able to handle the situation. As
Villa seems to be a rather uncer
tain quantity the probable fine
of the withdrawal is doubtful.
Since the publication of the oi
ders rlimors have been rife around
he capital that Carra'naz has re
quested the withdrawal of the
\rnerican forces. To all appear*
ances the troops will remain up.
