Official Version Says Lusitania Un
doubtedly Carried Guns Which
Were Mounted and Masked.
SITUATION IS AGAIN TENSE
WASHINGTON. May 31. In an
atmosphere of holiday calm, Presi
dent Wilson studied today tha Inter
national problems confronting him
with respect to conditions tn Mexico
and the German submarine warfare.
The president motored most of the
I morning, riding on the front seat of
his car, apparently In deep thought.
Tha reply of the German govern
ment to the American note protest
Ing against the sinking of the Lusl
tan la and other violations of Ameri
can rights In the war tone brought
disappointment and 'a revival of the
tension which preceded the dispatch
of the first communication to Berlta,
At the Whit House It wss stated that
the administration's plan In the Mexican
situation would not be interfered with
hv the new developmental with renpect
to Ormany except that the president's
warning to the Mexican faction mlsht
not b- Usued on' the same day as the
second note to Germany Is mad public.
The Mexican statement had been ex
pected tomorrow. ,
What the president's answer will be
tc the German note la undetermined. He
raw no culler early today, turning over
In solitude the grave questions before
him much aa he did in the dsys Im
mediately following the sinking of . the
Lusitania. At noon he returned from his
motor ride and started for Arlington
cemetery, where he wa to speak at the
Memorial day services. Secretary Bryan
and other tnemtiera of the cabinet also
were to rhske peenhas.
It Is not expected that the president
would give ahy . Intimation as to the
four to b pursued before tomorrow's
Cabinet meeting.
Official Teat Differ Sllarhtly.
The official text of the German not on
which the action of th United States
will be baeed waa deciphered today. It
differs In phraseology from tha urK-fftcial
text sent In pres d-spetrhe laet night,
but in no ntiai. ,
On difference In language, however,
which sttraoted attention waa that which
said the "Lusitania undoubtedly had
guns on bos rd which were mounted un
der deck or. masked." Th word "un
eouotediy" was omitted In the unoffi
cial test This was, taken t snean that
the German government Waa- net-alte-
rithnr certain of the authenticity, of Its
Information. The unofficial text. on this
point. read: .. . ; . , , .
, ,' Th lAisItanla. too, according te In
formation received here, . bad eannon

cealed below decks."
. The official .ta-xt; "According to reports
at hand here, the Lusitania when It left
New York had guns on board which war
