.5600, American Citizens
In Mexican Territory
WASHINGTON, May 29. The
Stato Department today made public
the npproximato number of Ameri
cans now in Mexico.
In nil of Mexico, there arc 5000
American citizens.
In Mexico City thero arc 1200.
Tamplco has 1700 Americans.
The Department estimated that in
addition to the Americans there
wcro 300 English citizens at Tnm-pico.
There is misunderstanding or mis
statement (if such terms fit Mexican
negotiations) regarding the announced
second note from General Carranza dc-,
manding withdrawal of United States
troops from Mexico.
Manuel Mcndez has arrived in Wash
ington, according to United States
Consul Rodgcr3 at Mexico City, bearing
the note.
Ambassador - designate Arredondo
and Mendcz deny the existence of such
a note.
Army officials believe the Mexicans
arc waiting to get their forces in posi-
( tion, in northern Mexico to back up the
' demand and then deliver the message.
Corroborating this is an uncensored
dispatch from Chihuahua City that
General Trevino, Carranza leader, is
mounting artillery at every approach
to that stronghold.
General Funston reported to the War
Department that General Herrcra had
threatened to attack the American
forces if they wcro not withdrawn
by July 1.
American oil operators at Tamplco
have protested to the State Department
that Carranza's tyrannical decrees and
taxes aro ruining their businesses.
OIL MEN'S APPEAL ROUSES
U. S. TO CARRANZA PROTEST
WASHINGTON, May 29. Protests,
rather than mere representations, will be
mado to tho Carranza Government by the
United States If It develops that the de
crees affecting Americans at Tamplco aro
confiscatory. Sharp claims mado by Tam
plco Americans In a note to President
"Wilson will be carefully considered and
protests hitherto made will be renewed In
mora vigorous language.
rrhe department has received from the
white House tho vigorous protest sent to
President "Wilson by Americans In tho
rTamplco district asking for relief from the
confiscatory decrees Issued by Carranza
against American oil operators.
Tho protest, signed by. 84 Americans,
resident In Tamplco, sets forth that tho
decrees have become progressively antl
... American until tho Carranza Government
even attempts to stipulate the. wage rate, to'
be paid by Americans to their employes.
Military decrees at first providing that oil
lands in Vera Cruz Stato might not bo
leased without tho consent of tho State
Government have been modified until now
all foreigners aro prohibited from acquiring
leases or assignment or leases from natives.
So Americans, according to tho protest, are
restrained from selling their property to
any save natives and bo petty and so dis
criminatory are the decrees aimed at them
that the lease of an apartment or of a
horse may not be effected without a special
permit.
"AH of the decrees," says the protest,
"violate Mexican law and are In contraven
tion of the rights of Americans guaranteed
by treaty between Mexico and the United
States. "We desire to know If the American
Government will permit the above decrees
or any of them to remain In force where the
rights of Americans are Involved."
Describing tho various orders as "pro
gressiva in that they are consistently be
coming more antl-Amertcan" the appeal
declares that "the authorities had not the
remotest idea when they first began to issuo
such decrees that they would be able to en
force them ; but when nothing was done by
our Government to secure their repeal these
edicts have been made more stringent each
day. until now our property Is threatened
with confiscation and In some cases has
been actually confiscated and our personal
liberty is menaced."
1 The State Department today was plan
ning to call upon all American Consuls in
tho Tamplco and "Vera Cruz districts for
reports on the conditions set forth in the
appeal.
Are' ctosolg following the developments In
the nHuatton.
Mexican AmhaMndor-deslgnato Arredondo
Bald that he would go to the Stnte Depart
ment this afternoon or tomorrow. He In
sisted, however, that his Vralt would be
Imply to ask that shipments of copper
nnd machinery now held tip by the customs
officials In New rork city be nermitted to
go forward. Ho positively Insisted that the .
reports coupling Mendez With A message
from Carranza were without foundation.
Mendez said ho Was on vacation, en route
to New Tork city nnd Niagara Falls. Ho
said lie cams here only because he read
in St Louis newspapers that he was bring
ing a note to "Washington and that he
wanted to learn if Ambassador Arredondo
had any instructions for hi in.
BULGARIANS OVER GREEK BORDER,

FUNSTON REPORTS IIEHKERA
DEMAND FOR WITHDRAWAL
WASHINGTON, May 29. Prospects of
serious trouble -In Mexico Increased today
following tho receipt of dispatches from
General Funston nt the "War Department.
General Funston reported that ho had
lenrned from Mexican newspaper sources
and from an American returning from In
terior Mexico that General Luis Herrcra
had threatened to drive the American sol
diers but of Mexico If they did not with
draw soon. General Funston stated that
he understood that Herrera had set July 1
as the date when he would move his forces
against General Pershing's command If tho
latter had not started toward the border.
Twenty-two thousand Carranzlstns aro
now In tho vicinity of Chihuahua, General
Funston reported, He Bald that he had
learned that General Oavlrn was advocat
ing that he take over the patrol now main
tained by the Americans between Colonla
Dublnn and Namlcmlpa. Ofilclals here think
that Gavlra will put this proposition up to
General Pershing when their conference Is
held Wednesday. General Pershing, It Is
declared here, wilt reject tho proposal with

30,000 CARRANZA TROOPS
REPORTED NEAR I). S. BORDER
EL PASO. May 29. Reports from the
Interior of Chihuahua that 30,000 Carranza
troops are now within easy striking distance
of the border have aroused somo apprehen
sion here.
General Obregon, the Minister of "War In
the da fncto Government of Mexico, has
concentrated a large amount of field artil
lery In Chihuahua City. This movo Is
regarded as significant, as It Is said that
ortlllery would be of no use In patrol work
or in tho pursuit of Villa.
Tho diplomatic negotiations between
Mexico and the United States which tem
porarily halted tho search for Villa by tho
United States troops has given the bandit
an opportunity to select a new hiding piaco
and the task of tho American forces has
been Increased In consequence. Villa Is
reported to have obtained a number of
recruits nnd now has a formidable band In
his mountain retreat.
Although there are largo masses of Car
ranza soldiers throughout Northern Mexico
they are apparently making llttlo crfort
to search out Villa. It Is expected If tho
United States troops aro withdrawn In
compllanco with tho demand of General
Carranza that all the good done by the
force of Brigadier General John J. Pershing
will have been nullified nnd that Villa never
will bo taken.
RUSSIA WILL FIGHT UNTIL GERMANY
YIELDS TO ALLIES, SAYS DUMA CHIEF
By WILLIA.M PHILIP SIMMS
(Coplrioht, iOlO, bv the Vniltd Fre'si. Comirightrd n Ortat Britain.?
PETROGRAD, May 2D Russia will fight for 20 years, If necessary, until
Germany is forced to accept the Allies' terms of peace, Michail Rodzianko,
president of the Russian Duma, told in an exclusive interview today. Ho
scoffed nt tho danger of a revolution In tho Czar's empire. .
"There is no peace party in Russia," said Rodzianko. "This Is a
German He. The Duma is solid in its demand that Russia continue the fight
until Germany puts her cannon in a pile and accepts the Allies' conditions.
Tho Emperor, the Duma and tho peasants of Russia are united in this. Tell
this to the people of Amcricn as emphatically as you can."
Rodzinnko had just arrived in Pctrograd from tho homo provinces for
tho reopening of tho Duma today.
"You need not accept my word exclusively," ho said. "You are welcome
to the floor of tho Duma, where you can talk to any one. All will tell you
what I have told you.
"The Russian peasants know tho meaning of German hegemony. They
are for war. Wo will fight 20 years if necessary to abolish this menace. We
will force the Kaiser to accept our terms. Pence on any other basis would
bo unthinkable. Russia would refuso to accept, even if tho Allies would ac
cept and tho Allies would not. Pencopropaganda in circulation now is un
friendly to the Allies.
"Russia is ready to support her share of the burden much better than at
tho start. The army has almost doubled the spirit it possessed early in the
War. It is better equipped, bettor supplied with munitions nnd better fed
than n year ago. The fortunes of war vary, but whatever hnppcns Russia will
fight until Germany is beaten. There is no danger of an internal revolution.
You can tell Americans that."

MEXICO CITY, May29. Foreign mer
chants In Mexico City, headed by a large
number of Germans, today served notice
on General Hill, military commander of the
' Federal district, "that they will close their
shops and ask their Governments to take

NO SECOND CARRANZA NOTE,
SAYS AGENT AT WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON, May 29. A conflict as
to whether Venustlano Carranza has or will
address another formal note to the United
States developed here today.
Senor Arredondo announced the arrival of
Manuel Mendez, reported to be bringing the
note from Mexico City, but said Mendez
knew nothing of any note. Contradicting
this was a telegram from Consul Rodgera,
at Mexico City, saying B. communication
to tho State Department was on Its way,
and saying It should have reached here
yesterday.
There was a growing belief In pfflclal
circles that the note would be presented
so soon as, the time was deemed opportune.
That time will be when the forces of the
de facto Government are concentrated so
that they will be ready to back up any de
mand that may be made, in the opinion

GREEK BORDER TROOPS FIRE
ON INVADING BULGARIANS
LONDON. May 29. Brisk fighting be
tween Greeks and Bulgars occurred at
several points along the frontier, following
the Invasion of Greek territory by tho
Bulgars.
A detachment from the Greek garrison
at Fort Rupol fired on the Bulgars before
evacuating the position. Tho Greeks wero
Incensed, according to Salonlca dispatches
today, because the Bulgars entered tho
fort before tho time stipulated for Its
evacuation. The Bulgars returned the fire,
the Greeks withdrawing without serious
casualties on either side.
News of the Bulgarian Invasion has
reached Greek patrols along the border and
has resulted In several exchanges.0 The
Greek Government has warned border
commanders to take every precaution to
prevent serious encounters. '
Only 25,000 Bulgarians took part In the
advance Into Greek territory, according to
the best available Information here. It Is
the general belief here that the Bulgarians
occupied Forts Rupcl. Dragotlna and
Spatovo solely as a defensive measure to
guard against allied attack. The positions
lie six miles Inside the frontier and form
part of a chain of defenses erected, by the
Greeks against possible Bulgarian Invasion.
The official statement from the Bulgarian
War Office, confirming the Invasion, is
silent as to its purpose.
Continued from I'nBe One
7 o'clock, nttcmptlng to recapture the
trenches taken by the French In Thursday's
fighting. The strugglo continued for moro
than an hour, tho Germans finally with
drawing into tho ravlno enst of Dead Man's
Hill.
The second attack begnn just before mid
night Desperato fighting' went on under
tho ghnstly glare of Illuminating bombs un
til the Germans wero again hurled back
Into the woods.
East of the Meuse violent artillery strug
gles continued throughout tho night In the
region of Vaux, but there wcro no Im
portant Infantry actions.
In Lorraine, a German reconnolssanco
near Parroy was repulsed.
French aviators took part In IS aerial
fights Sunday, bringing down three Gcrrnnn
flyers near Montholss, Uerry-au-Bac and
west of Rhelms. Two other German planes
were brought down by French cannon
mounted-tm-' motorcars, ono north of Avo
court and another In tho region of Forges.
LONDON, May 29.
Tho British official communication on tho
campaign In tho Western zono reads:
"About 11 o'clock Saturday night, after
a short and heavy bombardment, tho Ger
mans attempted to raid our trenches cast
of Catconne, but failed.
"During the night tho Germans blow up
mines southeast of Neuvllle-St. Vaast, south
of Loos and east of Souchez. They did
somo damage to our trenches, but thero
were no casualltlcs.
"Early In tho morning, for half an hour
tho enemy heavily shelled tho area south
west of Zlllcbelte with gas shells.
"Today thero was rather more hostllo
artillery fire than usual In tho Frlcourt and
Mamctz sectors, tho Hohenzollern redoubt
and St. Elol. Wo shelled the enemy trenches
west of Beauvralns and opposite Hannes
camps with good effect."
BERLIN, May 29. French attacks on
the west bank of tho Meuse have been re
pulsed, the official bulletin says. The re
port follows:
German reconnolterlng detachments
penetrated tho enemy's lines at several
points last night In Champagne they
took about 100 prisoners.
West of the Meuse the enemy attacked-
our positions on the southwest
slope of Dead Man Hill and the Village
of Cumleres: He was repulsed every
where with heavy, losses. '
Violent, artillery battles "were "re
sumed on the east bank of the river. ' '
to rigorously computed figures," says Mar
cel Hutln In the Echo do Paris on tho Infor
mation of nn officer wounded nt Douau
mont. Mr. Hutln argues that although tho
French wcro unablo to retain tho valuable
position for observing tho enemy's move
ments, tho net results of tho action are
clear profit, becauso the Germans wore com
pelled to sacrifice In massed charges tho
reserves Intended to push homo tho advan
tage gained around Le Mort Homme. Thus,
whnt was becoming nn Intolerable pressure
was removed unexpectedly nnd cheaply, for
tho offensive Is generally reckoned to penal
ize tho attacking force In proportion of
three to ono, whereas, thanks to tho rapidity
and secrecy of General Nlvello's blow nnd
tho subsequent dogged resistance, this figure
was exactly reversed.
Woll-lnformed circles hero ngrco to M.
Hutln's thoory and consider the compara
tive German Inaction of tho last throe days
tho clearest proof of exhaustion and. em
phasize tho Crown 'Prince's growing embar
rassment to find new material for attacks.
A prominent member of tho Army Par
liamentary Committee said:
"If It Is ' true tha,t.,Bju-ur!an divisions
came from Prlnco Huppvcchfs army facing
the British, wo can congratulate ourselves.
The Germans are nearly desperate. That
they risked weakening tho British front de
splto the probable dangerous riposte shows
that no other reserves wero available
Though tho battle may bo renewed, I am
convlncod tho danger is ended."
