LONDON, Mny 7—(Delayed in transmission)—
'1 he Cunnrd liner Lusitania, New Yo rk to Liver

fiod reports frop*. Ireland saying that the crew had
time to get the boats off before the boat sank. The
Admiral in command of the Queenstown navy yard
immediately dispatched all available assistance on
receiving word' of the disaster. Tugs, trawlers and
life boats were sent to Kinsale Head and within two
and one-half hours after the torpedo struck the sea J
in the vicinity was alive with all sorts of boats ren
dering assistance. Many boats were in the vicin
ity at the time of the attack, and at the time the Lus
itania sank there were at least twenty boats of var
ious kinds on hand. It is because of the presence
of the boats that the impression prevails here that
the passengers were saved.
CRISIS AVERTED
TOKIO, May 8—An open rupture
between China and Japan has been
averted by the submission of the Chi
nese government to the demands of
her neighbor. In case an accept
ance of the ultimatum was not re
ceived within the time allowance, Jap
nn was prepared to occupy the chief
industrial centers and the chief
sections where the sources of China’s
wealth exist. A strong army had
been mobilized and was ready to land
in Northern China, occupying Pekin,
. Tientsin and the other important cit
ies. All the Chinese railroad would
have been easily seized and the ships
^ of China swept from the sea.
WASHINGTON, May 8—Informa
tion has been obtained from a high of
ficial of the government to the effect
that the crisis in the Far East has
' been averted. It is believed In dlp
i lomatic circles that a settlement of
the difficulties between Japan and
China has been reached on a satis
factory basis to both of the interest
ed parties.
TIENTSIN, May 8—The Japanese
consul here has detained and com
mandeered all Japanese steamers in
port. All Japanese subjects here have
received warning from the consul to
be ready to depart at short notice.
