The battle took place in Green river canyon of the High Lonesome mountains in Cul- berson county, Texas, following a rald on the Dicklove ranch yester- day. Orozco and four companions were pursued from the Sierra Blanca country into the foot hills. The last of the band died at dusk, How desperately they fought was shown by four bullet wounds in the body posi- tively identified, according to reports as that of the Huerta general.

DEALINGS NEAR STANDSTILL NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-—Foreign exchange rates reached their most serious stage today with an over- night break of 2% conts in sterling, the English pound welling In this market at $4.68 44, close to the mark where curtailment of big foreign or- ders to the United States would fol- | low, In the opinion of bankers here. Nothing like the violent break in quotations had ever been recorded in forelgn exchange markets here be- fore. " The low level reached today was 11 cent below the mark set weeks ago by financlers as the so- called irreducible minimum which, when reached, would cause British | | ! which to place their orders for such imports as could be obtained else- where than in America. Foodstuffs, manufactured goods and many other products, in fact almost everything | except actual munitions of war, were embraced within this category. Demoralization In the forelgn exchange markets was succeeded by almost chaotio conditions as the result of the break. Denlings In forelgn excnange were vir- tually at & standstill. Ratos varying as much as & cent were quoted by different houses, but these rates, in almost every case were purely nominal, and thero was no business worthy the name done In English money here toaay. The big break means that English buy- ers, In addition to the top of the market priceh already paid vy them In this coun- try for American products, are oalled |upon to pay a premium of 2§% cents on |every pound's worth o1 purchases, or more than § per cent: With London car- rying this onerous burden, something new to British bankers, as English moi has for generationa been the world standard of International finance, the |uestion discussed in banking circles here |today was how long Great Britain would |continue to buy here such articles as it was not compelled to.

Mine and Hand Grenade Warfare Marks the Operation Against German Trenches, FIGHTING AT THE DARDANELLES LONDON, Aug. 31.—The Russian armies along the line of the upper Bug and the Zlota Lipa are being withdrawn rapidly and apparently without great loss, as neither Vienna nor Berlin claims any extensive cap- tures of prisoners or booty in this reglon. In the center of the line due east of Warsaw, the invaders con- tinue to make steady progress, while further north they are advancing more slowly. The fall of Lipsk brings the attacking forces nearer Grodno, the last big fortress on the front to be retained by the Russians. Along the western front the usual artillery, mine and hand grenade war- fare marks the operations. Accord- ing to Paris these activities have re- sulted In the destruction of several German trenches.

In the Austro-Itallan campaign Rome reports the capture of Cima Cista, 6,50 feet high. This summit had commanded the Itallan positions on Monte Salublo. Rome also sends optimistic reports of ilh- progress of the entente powers in |the negotiations in tka near east. It ia ‘sald that SerbLia's promises are satisfao- tory as far as they go.

Peace Appeal Now | in Hands of Al | Mexican Leaders' WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—The Pan- American peace appeal now has heen de- livered to all military and political lead- ers In Mpxico. Several leaders in remote sections have 'just been reached by courier, and to give them time for reply there probably will be no meeting of the Pan-American conferees until next week. General Carranza’s reply still is lack- ing, but it has been authoritatively de- clared that the conference will proceed, irrespective of his attitude, Major General Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the army, conferred with Secre. tary Lansing today and reported the re- sult of his conference with General Villa and other northern Mexicans. General Scott sald Villa and his adherents were sincerely anxlous for peace. ““General Villa,” said General Scott, “is earnestly desirous for peace In Mexico and he s willing to sacrifice any per- sonal ambitiony and to elfininate him- self it necessary in order tc bring it about.” ‘Subjects of Allied g Powers Expelled | from Beirut, Syria PARIS, Aug. 3L.—The United States | #coLt ship Chester has arrived at Canes. | Crete, with 410 refugees expelled from | Belrut, Syria, by the Turks, according to | & Havas dispatch from Athens.

What this consists of had best be kept silent for the moment. It will make itself apparent later oon as events on the Danube front have advanced far enough.” The British employed 100,000 men In their attacks on the Gallipoll peninsula last Saturday and Bunday, according to & dispatch from Constantinople to the Frankfurter Zeftung, and thelr losses were extremely heavy. The correspon- dent estimated that since August 6 the British losses have beea tn excess of 50,000, According to the correspondent, the Kkilled among the British troops in the fighting of August 25 and August 2 in- {cluded about 600 officers. A cavalry di- vision, he declared, was almost com- pletely wiped out. The dispatch con- tinues: “British prisoners knew nothing of the fall of Warsaw and other Russlan fort- resses. They had been told that the Rus slans held the entrance to the Bosphoru and were working toward a junoture with the British. In contrast with th. first months of the campalgn, many !
