I.■ji toil Hint tlie German reply to the
Lusitania note will lie in the hands of
tile secretary of state tonight or Sat
urday. The communication %vil 1 be laid
before the cabinet immediately on ar
rival of tile president who is expected
to return from Cornish Monday even
ing. owing in the communication sent
liy Ambassador Gerard before the dis
patch of the German note it is the opin
ion that the new note will differ in no
great degree from the previous com
munication.
The officials realize the probability
that as before there have been no es
sential changes in llie form of the note
since its contents were outlined by
Gerard despite the contentions of the
American government and the refusal
to engage in supplementary negotia
tions between Germany and the T'nited
States. It Is definitely ascertained
that the note contains no reference to
(he statement that this government
cannot accept the German proposals of
the previous communication without
sacrificing many of its rights In the
interim before the arrival of the Ger
man message there is a great renewal
of the tension as to what the note will
be. •
