General Carranza's despatch was the first direct assurances that he | will comply with the urgent represen- tations of the United States govern- ment. Upon the success of the steps he takes, the next move in the Mexican situation seems to depend. Give Carranza Time. After Chairman Stone of the senate fpreign relations committee had dis- cussed the situation with the presi- dent he returned to the senate cham- ber and again expressed the view that the United States should not move toward armed intervention until the Carranza government had demon- strated whether it was capable of con- trolling the countr; Senator Stone said after his confer- ence that he did not expect American 1roops would be sent into Mexico un- less there were further developments tc force it. He considered that the Villa element, enraged by the recog- nition of Carranza, were determined to attack Americans, to force inter- vention. . gov- end to forfend Will Look to Carranza. He plainly indicated that the-ad- ministration will look to Carranza to control the situation and punish the pandits. Senator Stone said there was no present intention of calling a meeting | of the foreign reiations committee to | consider the pending resolutions pro- pesing interference in Mexico. White Flouse officials indicated that the reso- fetion of Senator Lewis of Illinofs, the democratic whip, authorizing the | president to use the armed forces, was , introduced without their knowledge. Monstrous to Go to War. “It would be monstrous for the United States to go to war in Mexico at such a time as this,” declared Sen- wtor Stone, after his return to the cap- Itol. “I was the original war man in the senate when there was no or- ganized government recognized by this country. But now we have recog- | nized a government and it would be | absurd to rush it without giving that | government a chance to suppress and | punish the bandit bands that have | murdered American citizens.” ! Proposes Intervention. Senator Works, republican, intro- dueéd a resolution proposing armed intervention, and declared that con- gress should share with the president the responsibility for whatever is ‘ done. rangements for General >toriano Huerta, who died here last night, had | not been announced eariy today. The i possibility of burial in Mexico is being considered. General Huerta had been for nearly six months, his illness first be- coming marked soon after his incar- ceration ‘as a federal prisoner at Fort Bliss last July. Attending physicians attributed death to a complication of liver complaints, which caused a gen- eral breakdown. His condition first became alarming last fall and he was iransferred from Fort Bliss to his home in El Paso. Apparently improv- ed, after a stay at home, he again was removed to the fort. Shortly after Christmas, physicians recom- mended the immediate removal to his home again. From that time on his decline was rapid. Only two days ago a federal grand jury in San Antonio, Texas, returned indictments against Huerta charging conspiracy to violate the neutrality laws of the United States. San Antonio, Tex., Jan. 14.—United States court officials estimated today that the indictment of the late Gen. Victoriano Huerta and eleven other men on charges of conspiracy to violate the neutrality laws had cost the government $25,000. This includ- ed the cost of shadowing the former dictator from the time of his arrival in the United States from Spain, the government’s telegram bill, and the expense of bringing more than fifty withnesses here. ill FIRE DESTROYS CATHEDRAI. Rome, Jan. 13, 7 p. m.—The Cathedral at Sora was destroyed by fire today while services were in pro- gress throughout Italy commemorat- ing the earthquake at Avezzano and Sora a year ago The fire destroved the statue of Saint Restitua, Sora’s protecting saint, which was almost the only object in the church of Sora which escaped uninjured in the earthquake of last year. During the services a candle fell and set fire to the altar cloth and the whole build- ing was consumed. MARSHALL VICTIM OF SUDDEN DEATH Beaver Street Young Man Taken T Shortly After Midnight and Dies In Few Minutes. William F. Marshall of 42 Beaver street died suddenly at his home shortly after midnight of heart fail- ure. His death came as a shock to the members of his family and his friends as he had been around ves- terday as usual and had not com- plained of feeling ill.

New Yark, Jan. 14.—Albert Clark, a private in the Fifth United States Infantry, - was removed from the steamship Santa Marta at Jamaica by a British neutrality officer, according to passengers. who arrived here on the Santa ‘Marta today. After being detained ashore several hours Clark was allowed to return to the ship and proceed here. Clark, who had served nineteen | months in the canal zone, was pro- ceeding to Washington under orders to report to the adjutant general, and was in full uniform when he was tem- porarily removed from the Santa Marta, which flies the American flag. First Time Since 1812 This is said to be the first time that a United States soldier has been re- moved under similar conditions from an American vessel since the war of 1812. When the Santa Marta stopped at Jamaica enroute from Colon to New York, a British neutrality officer boarded the vessel and, as usual, closely questioned all passengers as:to their nationality. Clark -told the of- ficer that he had been born near Vienna, but had taken out his first | American citizenship papers some time ago. Soldiers Took Clark. The neutrality officer left the ship | without comment on Clark’s case, but shortly afterward, passeng: said three soldiers came on board the Santa Marta and told Clark to accom- pany them ashore. Clark subsequently said that he was taken to what is known as the low concentration camp on the outskirts of Jamaica and there was closely | questioned by the commanding officer. | While Clark was ashore a number of American passengers on the Santa | Marta held a meeting at which it was decided to appeal to the American | consul at Jamaica. Before this could be done Clark returned to the ship. To Make Full Report. Clark said today that he would make a full report of the incident to the war department at Washington. | $2,000 AWARD MADE New Britain Man Promised Not to Engage in Manufacture, of Macar- oni But Forgot -to Keep Word. Hartford, Jan. 14.—Violation of agreement is likely to cost Ferdinando Sparingo of New Britain $2,000. He had a macaroni factory there and sold out to Nunzio Filomena, agreeing, as part of the sale, to stay out of the business there under penalty of $2,000. He did not do so. Today the case came up in superior court and Judge Tuttle awarded Filomena the $2,000.

BUTTER FOR RU e Twenty-five Carloads From Chicago Shipped Aboard Steamers. York, Jan. the heavy shipments of food supplies this port to New 14.—As showing now being made from it was stated today that a special train of twenty-five cars load- with butter was rushed here from Russia, ed Chicago within forty-eight hours in | order to be shrpped on board the steamer Czaritza and another vessel leaving yesterday for Russia. The amount of this shipment under- stood to have exceeded all records for a single consignment. This is believed to be the first American-made butter ever shipped to Russia.

Vien Jan. 14, via London, 2:50 p. m.—The capture of Cettinje, capital was announced today by the war office- The official announcement states: “The capital of Montenegro is in our hands. Our troops, pursuing the beat- enemy, vesterday afternoon tered Cettinje. The residences of the Montenegrin king and the town are undamaged. The population is calm. ¥Fall Was Expected- The fall of Cettinje before the in- vading Austrian forces, which greatly outnumber the comparatively small Montenegrin armies, was regarded as a matter of only a short time after the capture by the Austrians of of Mount lovcen. Cettinje is only ix miles from that stronghold. The present location of the Monte- negrin capital is uncertain, but it is assumed the seat of government was removed to some point in the interior when it became apparent that Cet- inje was ‘in peril.

Tondon, Jan. 14, 11:50 a. m.—It is authoritatively announced today that the reported offensive of the Teutonic { allies against Saloniki did nof occur. The rumors that the attack had been begun against the forces of the allies apparently originated in the activity of the French blowing up the bridge connecting Saloniki with the road over which the attackers would nor- | mally travel. Bridges were destroyed by the French not only at Demir | Hissar, on the Struma in the neigh- | borhood of Serres, but also at Kil- indir, south of Doiran. All the bridges destroyed were in Greek ter- ritory. The rumors that Austria and Mon- tenegro have suspended hostilities for the purpose of discussing arrange- ments whereby further warfare on Montenegrin soil should be stopped, may be based simply on the fact th: the Austrian advance in Montenegro has become so slow that suspicion of | a suspension of hostilities is naturally "umused. Many military critics, how- ever, are of the opinion that Mon- tenegro is now in such a position that some form of arrangement with her adversary has become imperative. Speculation is rife as to the atti- tude which Ttaly has adopted with | regard to the invasion of Montenegro by the Austrians which constitutes a ave menace to Ttalian inter: The fact that Taly's superior fleet did not prevent an Austrian squadron from assistir in the reduction of Mount Loveen, which dominates the harbor of Cattaro, is being comment- ed upon, though experts admit that there is not a sufficient basis of in- formation from which to draw deduc- tions in the matter, and they suggest that Italy’s action in the present juncture should be awaited, before judgment is passed, and that action, they point out, would naturally be kept secret as long as possible. News of the developments in the military operations in Galicia and Bessarabia is awaited with much in- terest here, and it is observed that both sides are unusually reticent with the operations. Austric usualy sends out the first information { on the military activities in that re- gion, but beyond a general review of Russian offensive movement, she gives today but little light on the hap- penings on her eastern front. The Austrian military authorities affirm that the sole result of the Russian | offensive to date has been the pushing back of one Austrian battalion for a few hundred yards. | the PAN-AMERICANS IN ELM CITY.
