SENT TO MEXICO

i H KM J J X - OA

WASHINGTON, Aus. 17. The navy department Monday s nt rush orders by wireless to the battleships Ituisiana and Ne.v Hampshire- to prrwd at one? to Vera Cruz. The battleships sailed from Newport. 11. I., for "southern waters" several dys atro. on roccipt of news that there hal U-n an . anti-foreipn demonstration in Vera Cruz. It was then Intended thev should po to (Juantanarno, Cuha, where they would be within f.vy reach if their services were needed. Tho action of the department Monday was taken on the roe ipt of dinpatches that the situation In Vera Cruz was unsatisfactory. The department was Informed that althn-jtjh the city appears quiet on the surface, there is much anti-foreign sentiment, with the constant possibility that an outbreak "will occur. The warships are commanded by Hear Admiral Walter McLean, commander of the fourth battleship division. Another vessel of this division; the battleship Connecticut, is now in Haiti. To Hoplare (iunhoats The oflieial reason for the orders to the Louisiana and New Hampshire is that they are to take the place of the pun boats Sacramento and Marietta. The Sacramento, with the Brazilian minister to Mexico on board, is now off the mouth of the Mississippi river, waiting for the storm to subside to permit it to pass up to New Orleans. The battleships aro due at Vera Cruz on Wednesday. On their arrival, the Marietta will sail for Propreso. in answer to appeals from the international Harvester Co. and other importers. They complain that hisal carpoes are beinp held up. The state department is nov av.aitinp replies to the appeal of the PanAmerieari conference to the Mexican leaders to establish peace in their republic. So far it has had no oflicial word that the appeal has been received by the chiefs of the principal factions. The only word received up to a late hour Monday afternoon was that the appeal han been distributed to the military leaders and prominent citizens In the Ciudad Poriirio district and Monterey districts'. Villa and Zaala AproeaWo. The department has learned from unoflUdal sources, however, that Gen. Villa and (Jen. Zapata w ill accept the suippestion of the. Pan-American conference and that they will shortly send their replies apreelnp to the suppr5tion of a conference for the selection of a provisional president. Officials of the department are not optimistic, however, resardinp the reply of Gen. Carranza. It was intimated .Monday by persons close to the Carranza apency in Wanhinpton that Carranza will decline to accept tho suppestion of the conference, and will Insist upon recognition. In some quarters there Is the belief that he may reply that he will apree to a convention, providing each faction Is represented according to the size of the territory it controls. This suggestion Is not likely to be acceptable to the United States, as such an arrangement would givo Carranza complete control of the convention. CIen. Funston. in command on tho border, Monday wired to the war depigment the details of a battle betw four American soldiers and about ro Mexicans at Progressa Ferry on the Uio Grande, eight miles from Mercedes. No one was injured. The Americans were examining a wagon train, when the Mexicans, across the river, opened fire, on -them. The soldiers returned the fire and drove the Mexicans away. Gen. Funston added that he was strengthening his patrols all along the river. Moves Whole Regiment. Gen. Funston reported also that, he had moved tho entire -tUh regiment of infantry from Texas City to Brownsville. Texas, where the citizens were in fear of an Invasion by Mexican forces. Fach man is armed with "e0 rounds of ammunition. The war department announced that it is sending two aeroplanes from Fort Sill. Okla.. to Ilrownsville. These aeroplanes will be used for scouting purposes, and it is expected they will l ender important son ice in locating bands of Mexicans attempting to cross the border. The state department received a dispatch from Mexico City that 4o Americans there were in dan per oi starvation and thai if them had asked for assistance to leave the country. Their plight was so serious that they were willing to abandon their property to get away. Ste'y of State I.anslng held a conference with Pres't Wilson ;is a result of which instructions were cnt to Consul Silliman at Vera Cruz to take the matter up with Carranza and insist that foodstuffs given transportation to the capital. An agent of the consul will be sent with

This was later denied, and in a dispatch to tho department the consul reported that the city was captured by the Carranza forces after 2 4 hours fighting and that the Villa troops had retreated toward Torreon. The Villa apency here gave out a statement denying that the Villa garrison at Chihuahua City had revolted. It described the report as "evidence of renewed activity on the part of the Carranzistas designing to create misconceptions of the true situation in Mexico."

WASHINGTON. Aug. 17. Tn a letter made public Monday night, Pres't Wilson Is advised by Sec'y of Commerce Uedrield that a searching inquiry is to be niiide this fall into the administration of the steamhoat inspection service, as the result of the Eastland disaster at Chicago. Ste'y Rediield says the inquiry will be conducted by representatives of the navy department and the public so that there may be no question of its impartiality. The president is also advised by the secrctaiy of commerce that he will ask congress for additional legislation broadening the jurisdiction and power of the department of commerce over steamboats engaged in the pjissenger tratlic. Increased powers, the secretary suggests, are recommended by the special board of inquiry organized by the department during the investigation of the Kastland tragedy. Instructions have been given, Mr. Itedtield reports, to carry out such changes as the board recommends which are possible under existing laws. Much of the secretary's letter to Pres't Wilson relates to a history of the Kastland disaster and the investigation begun by the department of commerce and the state and federal courts. The department inquiry, Mr. Redtield says, was halted because of the desire not to have witnesses before the federal grand jury appear in any other proceeding.

TERUn IIAUTK, Ind., Aug. 17. Articles of impeachment of Mayor James Gossom will bo presented to the city council Tuesday night. He is accused of various things, but behind it ail is the opposition to his enforcement of fhc saloon closing laws. He has been surrounding himself with high class citizens, naming a minister for a member of his police board, but his oppoiun.s assert that nevertheless he has shown a favoritism toward certain offenders. Two or three members of the city council are said to be candidate for the oilice bv election in the eounc:!.

LONPON. Aug. 17. While th- Germans claim successes against Kovno and Hrcst-Litovsk. the army of Marshal n Hindcnburg operating against KiP. has reeotved another setback, according to offical reports from Petrograd Monday night. Four mor towns have been taken by the army froups of Marshal von Maekenzen and Prince Leopold of Ravaria in their advance on the great fortified ramp which forms the key position of tbe Kussim: second lin. Maekenzen is reported to be within 2 4 miles of P.rest-Lit ovsk from the south, having occupi d the villages of Cialo and Slawatcze, while east of Wlodowa they are advancing on the eastern bank of tho IHig. Prince LeopoM's army has occupied Losice and Miedzyrzec, west of the fortress. The right wing of this army is moving against Riala. where the .Russians, supported by tho fortress are expected to make a strong stand. Prest-Litovsk has been made as proof against frontal attacks as a fortress can he. It is guarded on the flanks by vast swamps and forests and can be assaulted only from the north and west, where great lines of entrenchments have been constructed. There is little belief among military experts here that the Germans will attempt direct attacks against this formidable stronghold. Their campaign will be similar t.- that against "Warsaw, it is believed, ;;ul for this reason the operations against Kovno are the most important now going on in the east as this northern fortress not only was designed as a support for the Russian wing, but forms a barrier to the important Petrograd railway upon which the Russian front depends for a large proportion of its supplies.
