As the result of this wtek's conferences
en draft of the German repl? t6 the
American note, It Is now in the hnrtds of
Emperor William nt Army HeiulqunMers.
The Emperor's decision Is expected In
time to thM the note can be presented to
thh American Ambassador, probably on
Julv S or C.
Hijrh ofnclals are endeavoring to bring
About n rrlcndly settlement of the rules
tlon with America, and there Is every rea
son to believe that they nro anxious lo
make the proposal as conciliatory and
acceptable aa possible.
These om.cls.1s, however, have lo reckon
with the force of strong public opinion,
which undoubtedly will oppose anything
savoring of complete acquiescence In the
American proposals. This force 1 being
skilfully exploited by those -who are op
posed to all concessions.
Fi lends of the settlement are working
under these circumstances with consid
erable Oimculty, and the note probably
will represent a compromise not In ac
cordance with their desires.
Representatives of the Foreign Ofllce
and of the Marine today had not finally
decided upon the exact phraseology of
tome of the moat Important sections of
the German reply. There was still some
doubt as to thd exact time of delivery to
Ambassador Gerard.
Whether the reply will be satisfactory
to American people, buoyed up by predic
tion of Ha favorable character, Is an
other question of doubt.

Most of the business, the lieutenants
aaid in an interview today. Is purely com
mercial. Diplomatic: correspondence and
new reporln that come straight from
Germany are handled by the 8ayvlll sta
tion. The Tuckerton station handles pri
vate messages and commercial reporta
for the stock markets.
GEtWANr OPPOSED MOVE.
The Germans vigorously opposed the
taking over of the station by the United
States. They had just successfully fought
off the French from taking the station
after a long battle In the courts. The
French alleged that the Goldschmidt
Company had signed contracts surrend
ering the station to them when experi
ments had been completed. After the
Germans had won the right to keep their
station, ine oovernmenrs move in taking
the station, Instead of establishing a mere
censorship, such as that nt Sayvlllo, was
a complete surprise.
The Government, however. Is running
the station to the entire satisfaction of
the German company. Tho messages are
transmitted as well aa the Germans did
It themselves and the money wh'ch the
station Is making Is being saved to be
turned over to the company at a later
date. No omclal Government business
Is hhndied by the radio.

Informed that visitors were allowed In

also began to receive his friends at his

and said he didn't know.

WASHINGTON, July 2.
How to get relief to the peoplo of
Mexico City, now realised as Imperative
by Administration ofnclals, was the big
problem before tho Washington au
thorities today.
With the foreigners In the Mexican
capital threatened by conditions of famine
and anarchy graver than at any time
since tho republic was thrown Into
revolution, serious consideration was be
ing given to new plans to forward the
required supplies.
Carranza officials and railroad officers
were quoted as promising to do all In their
power to get the shipment across the
break and through the Zapatistas line Into
tho capital,
Consul Shanklln and Red Cross Agent
O'Connor, said Sllllmaii, had gone on from
Pachuca to Mexico City to do what they
could toward relieving the situation.
The State Department also had before It
the question of making representations to
General Carrahza about alleged Interfer
ence by his officers with diplomatic mes
sages from Mexico City The Brazilian
Minister in the Mexican capital sent out a
report by courier that the cable authori
ties there charged that representatives
of Carranza refused to let the messages
go through and the cable had not been
cut, as asserted by Carranza. It was
understood tho first chief will be asked
to explain.
Secretary of State Lansing and Presi
dent Wilson, at Cbrnlah, N. H were
considering carefully the reports of the
Brazilian Minister, telling of rioting and
looting In Mexico City and declaring the
situation was growing worse dally.

NEW YORK, July 2. Government seiz

HOME. July S.
Desperate fighting is In progress around
Gorilla on the Isonso rtlver, where the
Italian troops are struggling to open the
way to Trieste. The Italians dominate the
heights on the west side of the Isonio
but the Austrlans are making frequent
attacks In attempts to dislodge them.
Reports received from the front today
stato that In the fighting of Wednesday
alone the Austrlans, repulsed In their at
tacks, left MM dead on the slopes of the
heights.
The War Office announcsd last night
that the Italian troops have occupied the
Important position of BenlrklskendenJ,
which dominates rieszo, northwest of
Tolmlno. On the Tonale front, on tht
western frontier of Tyrol, the bombard
ment of the Montlcello and Snccagnana
poiltlonB has been begun.
There has been such heavy rain along
the Isonio that the trenches In that re
gion are ifported to be verl'able streams
and all activity has been stopped.
On the Cnrnlc trout, at Monte Croce
pass and the Pal Piccolo, the Austrlans,
In a aln attempt to regain the positions
they lost, have been throwing asphyxi
ating bombs,
GUNS HEAItD AT TRIESTE.
Guns are heard dally at Trieste and
reports state that tho Austrian authori
ties there aro in a state of panlo and at
th) same time terrorising the city, which
Is mainly Inhabited by an Italian speaking
population. Provisions are becoming
scarco and famine is threatening, yet
tho ofnclals remnln Indifferent, even If
their opulatlon of 100,000 people perish.
Tho prisons cannot hold all the per
sons arrested under suspklon and many
have been sent into the interior of Aus-trla-Hungary.
The high counsel of war held at Inns
bruck seems already to have produced ef
fect In renewed activity, perhaps under
the direction of Prince Hupprecht of
Bavaria, of Austro-German forces In tho
Tyrol and Trentlno, where guns have besn
bombarding the Italian positions fiercely
without appreciable results.
Two attacks were made by Austrian
Infantry, one In Val Sugana, the other
from the Pass of Valcaldlera. Doth were
repulsed,
The first attack was met successfully
by the Italian troops which occupied
Monte Clvaron, which dominates the Val
ley of Brenta and protects tho positions
at Strlgno and Canons, already occupied
by the Italian troops last week. Their
position will now enable the Italian troops
to march along both sides of tho Brenta,
following the railway line of Val Sugana,
and threatening Trent from the cast.
AUSTRIANS REPULSED.
The attack at Carzona was repulsed
with the help of troops coming over Monte
Clvaron. Elsewhere In Trentlno the ar
tillery duel has become Intensified, Owing
to the fact that Italian guns are being
brought nearer and nearer the Austrian
fortifications, they are enabled to reply
effectively to the Austrian Batteries and
destroy the defenses.
Until these fortifications are destroyed
progress naturally must be slow.
In tho Carlnthlan Alps operations
mark a further progress, and here the
Alpine troops have succeeded In occupy
ing fresh positions. The artillery has In
conccqucnco been able to bring batter
ies Into play which were dragged Into em
placements nfter overcoming hugs diffi
culties. One of the batteries succeeded
in shelling the Austrlans out of their
positions in the Valley of Gall at Stranlg.

WASHINGTON, July 2.
Generat Vlctorlano Huerta Is liable to
extradition from Texas to the State of
Chihuahua, Mex., on demand of the mili
tary authorities or the Civil Governor of
Chihuahua undei1 the treaty of list be
tween the United States and Mexico, the
State Department today announced of
ficially,
Tho department pointed out, however,
that Huerta Is In the hands of the Fed
eral authorities, and after the conspiracy
case against him he would have the
right as a political refugee to appeal to
a Federal court from State action In
the extradition matter, It was not con
sidered likely, therefore, (hat he would
be sent over the border for some time
to be tried by court-martial for the mur
der of Madero. The most that the Villa
authorities can do to Huerta at present
Is to obtain his arrest In Texas and In
volve him In a legal struggle for his
life, the department stated.
According to the department, the Gov
ernor of Texas Is bound to consider the
demand for deportation of Huerta when
made to htm by the Villa authorities In
Chihuahua. If the Governor of Texas
should honor the requisition of the Gov
ernor of Chihuahua, he would arrest
Huerta as Boon as Ihe Federal charge now
lodged against Huerta la disposed of A
hearing on this charge Is set for July 12.
Then Huerta would appeal.

CARDIFF, Wales, July 2.
Several members of the crew of the tor
pedoed Leyland liner Armenian, among
them Dr. J. S Vlso, of Richmond, Vn.,
were made prisoners by the German sub.
marine U-S which sank the steamship,
according to survivors who nro In
Cardiff. Those taken on board the U-3S
were picked up out of tho water after
a shell from the submarine had cut tho
ropes of a crowded lifeboat which wns
being lowered. Instead of placing them
In another boat, hoveer, the Germans
retained them.
It Is declared that, while the Germani
showed consideration for the whites, they
acted harshly toward the Negroes. Some
of the negro stock tenders who wro
thrown Into tho water when the ropes of
the lifeboat were cut swam toward the
submailne. When they tried to clamber
on board the German sailors kicked their
hands.
An exciting story Is told by Ernest Tal
bot, a 15-year-old cabin boy, and It has
all tho thrills of a Bea tale by Robert
Louis Stevenson.
"That was my Mrst trip," said yeung
Talbot, who was among the 37 persons
who left tho Armenian In the first life
boat It was this lifeboat that was
plunged Into the water by a German
shell cutting tho ropes,
"The boat was about half way down,"
continued tho cabin boy, "when along
came a shell and clipped the ropes clean.
Wn all tumbled Into the water and began
swimming around. I guess I must have
been In the water for an hour before I
was picked up by another boat, which I
found to contain my brother. We were In
the lifeboat about 12 hours before being
picked up, but it wasn't so bad,' for the
weather was clear and the watyr smooth.
Wo all got mighty thirsty."
"I was standing on deck alongside a
Negro named Johnson, when suddenly
this man struck me with his fist, knock
ing me flat. As I fell a shell struck the
deck house level with my head. The
Negro had heard the noise of tho ap
proaching shell. It missed him but killed
four men Inside the deckhouse."
