feMPIRE ACCEPT8 WILSON'S DIC-
TUM ON SUBMARINE
WARFARE.
WRITTEN ASSURANCE GIVEN
That There Will Be No Further
3laughter of Innocent Non-Com-
batants Traveling On Mer-
chant Vessel*.
Washington.—Strained relations be-
tween the United States and Germany
over submarine warfare apparently
passed into history after Count Von
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
Informed Secretary Lansing in writing
that prior to the sinking of the Arabic
his government had decided that Its
submarines should sink no more liners
without warning.
Count Von BernstorlTs letter which
revealed for the first time that Ger-
many had prepared an answer to the
Lusitania note which was about to ha
dispatched when the Arabic was de-
stroyed follows :
"My Dear Mr. Secretary:
"With reference to our conversation
Of this morning, I beg to inform you
that my instructions concerning our
answer to your last Lusitania note
contains the following passage.
" 'Liners will not be sunk by our
■ubmarines without warning and
•without safety of the lives of con-
combatants provided that the liners
do not try to escape or offer resist-
ance.'
"Although I know you do not wish
to discuss the Lusitania question un-
til the Arabic incident has. been defi-
nitely and satisfactorily settled, I de-
sire to inform you of the above be-
cause this policy of my government
was decided on before the Arabic in-
cident occurred.
"I have no objection to you making
any use you wish of the above infor-
mation.
"I remain, my dear Mr. Lansing,
"Yours very sincerely,
"J. VON BERNSTORFF."
Disavowal Expected.
The next step, it is said authorita-
tively, will be a formal communication
from the German government dis-
avowing the destruction of the Arabic
and tendering regret and reparation
for American lives lost in the disaster
if the attack was made by a German
submarine. Even if the submarine
which torpedoed the liner subsequent-
ly was sunk by a British man of war
as has been suggested both from Ber-
lin and London, the Berlin foreign
office is expected to send its disavowal
as soon as reasonable time has passed
with a report from its commander.
Once the situation growing out of
the Arabic incident has been disposed
of, the response to the long unan-
swered American note on the Lusi-
tania will be dispatched and if Ger-
many's explanations and proposals in
this case are accepted by the United
States, &oth officials and diplomats
here expect the way to be cleared
for a complete understanding between
the two governments on the subject
of freedom of the seas. In German
circles It Is freely admitted that in
Berlin a hope prevails that such an
understanding would be followed by
insistent action by the United States
to stop Interferences with neutral
commerce with Great Britain and her
allies which prevent Germany from
importing food supplies for he/ civil
population.
The new American note to Great
Britain making representation against
the restrictions imposed by the orders
In council, la almost ready to go for-
ward to London.
CEN.PASCUAL0R0ZC0 KILLED
FAMOU8 MEXICAN FIGHTS
LAST BATTLE.
HIS
And Is Killed In Fight With Pursue
ing U. 8. Troops Had Fought
In the First Revolution.
El Paso.—Gen. Pascual Orr.oco,
prominent military leader in Mexico'?
many revolutions of the last several
years, was killed In a fight with a
posse of American civilians, customs
officers and troopers of the Thir-
teenth United StateB cavalry. The
battle took place on Green river can-
yon of the High Lonesome mountains
in Culberson county, Texas, following
a raid on the Dick Love ranch. Or<
zoco and four companions were pur-
sued from the Sierra Blanca country
Into the foothills. The last of the
band died at dusk.
Orzoco was one of the first to Join
Francisco Madero when the latter or-
ganized his revolt against President
Diaz in 1910. Orzoco took the field
in northern Chihuahua and in com-
pany with his bullion guards as a
nucleus soon raised the most effec-
tive fighting force under Madero's
banner. Facing tremendously superior
forces he remained in the field
throughout the Madero revolution

TORPEDOED VESSEL FOUNDERS
WHILE BEING TOWED TO
QUEENSTOWN.

even throughout the time when Ma-
dero himself was forced into hiding
in the United States, escaping the
pursuing federals by his knowledge
of the mountains and the mobility of
his mounted men. Orzoco was the
senior general among those with Ma-
dero at the taking of Juarez and took
command of the captured town.
When Madero became president Or-
ozco accompanied him to Mexico City
but it was not long before a disagree-
ment arose over large sums of money
Orozco alleged to be due him and his
father. Colonel Orozco.
Orozco abandoned his allegiance to
Madero and again too* to the hills,
taking the majority of his men who
had followed him through the Madero
campaigns with him.
With the fall of Madero, Orozco
joined. the adherents of Huerta and
became one of the most active mili-
tary chiefs of the latter. He took
part in scores of engagements and
skirmishes in Chihuahua, Durango,
Coahuila and Nuevo Leon.
With the arrival in the United
States of General Huerta, Orozco
joined his former chief and accom-
panied him on the journey to El Paso,
which culminated in tne arrest of both
at Newman, N. M., last June by United
States officials. After being released
on bond he again escaped a few nights
later and it is supposed has been in
the vicinity where he was killed since
that time.
Queenstown.—The Allan liner Hes-
perian sank within a few miles of
Queenstown after Captain Main and
a volunteer rescue crew of twenty-five
had made a brave fight to bring the
crippled ship Into port.
The sinking of the Hesperian in
deep water probably will prevent an
investigation to determine whether
the disaster resulted from a subma-
rine's torpedo or from a mine. Pas-
sengers and crew assert positively
that the vessel was struck by a tor-
pedo, but thus far no statement has
been obtained from any one who saw
a submarine or a torpedo.
One first cabin passenger, six sec-
ond cabin passengers and six third-
class passengers on the liner Hes-
perian are unaccounted for. A wom-
an's body has been identified as that
of Miss Carberry, probably of New
Foundland.
Torpedoed Without Warning.
Captain Main of the Hesperian de-
clared the vessel was torpedoed and
that no warning was given. Major
Maitland, in charge of the ocean serv-
ices of the Canadian Pacific, said the
list of missing was likely to reach
twelve passengers and perhaps one or
two members of the crew. He added
that all would have been saved but
for an unfortunate mishap in launch-
ing one lifeboat in the darkness.
As soon as Captain Main landed 1n
Queenstown he proceeded to the ad-
miralty office to make his report.
There landed with him thirteen offi-
cers and twenty-five men who re-
mained with the Uner to the last. Two
mine sweepers and two admiralty tugs
attempted to tow the Hesperian to
port but the ship, partly filled with
water, was so unmanageable and the
sea so heavy that no progress could
be made.
The American consul at Queens-
town, Wesley Frost, telegraphed to
the American embassy at London that
the admiralty authorities had not been
informed officially that the Hesperian
had been torpedoed without warning,
but that they believe that the case.
Mr. Frost's message also said that
forty-five unorganized Canadian troops
were on board, most of them invalided
and that the Hesperian had a 4.7-
inch gun mounted stern. The consul
hs been unable to learn of more than
two Americans who were on the Hes-
perian, both members of the crew and
both reported to have been saved.
BERLIN TELLS OF BREAT LOSSES
Germana Claim To Have Fut 1,100,000
Russians Out of Business.
Berlin.—An official review of the
eastern campaign estimates that since
May 2 the Russians have lost at least
300,000 men In killed or wounded, and
1,100,000 men captured by the Ger-
mans.
The announcement follows:
General army headquarters pub-
lishes a review of the results of offen-
sive movements In Poland and Russia
Since May 2, beginning with the battle
{t Gorlice. Army headquarters esti-
lates the strength of the l^ssian
troops which were then directly en-
gaged in that region was about 1,400,-
000. In the fighting since My 2, 1,100,-
000 have been captured and a mini
mum of 300,000 wounded or killed.
"This is a very conservative esti
mate. The actual figures are surely
much higher, because the Russians
saved artillery by recklessly sacrific-
ing their Infantry.
Thaw Asks Dlvorcs.
Pittsburg—Harry K. Thaw filed salt
asking a divorce from his wife, Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw, charging misconduct
■with John Francis of New York. The
petition is very brief, covering less
than one typewritten page. In it
Thaw alleges that his wife was guilty
of misconduct with Francis at 31 West
Thirty-first street. New York, in De-
cember. 1909. and January. 1910. and
at various otber times and places.
Francis is a newspaper reported. He
says he has not seen Evelyn for three
jears.
BREAT SLAUGHTER OF BRITISH
Berlin Claims 50.000 Died Last Week
On Gallipoli Peninsula.
Berlin.—The British employed 100,-
000 men In their attacks on Turkish
positions on Gallipoli last week, ac-
cordinr to a dispateh from Constanti-
nople to the Frankfurter Zeitung. and
their losses were extremely heavy.
The correspondent estimates that
since August 6 the British losses have
been more than fifty thousand. Ac-
cording to the correspondent the
killed among the British troops in the
fighting of August 28 and 29 included
about six hundred officers. A cavalry
division, he declared, was almost com-
pletely wiped out.
The Germans continue their prog-
ress toward the Russian strongholds In
the east.
The progress toward the Vila rail-
road Is being continued while the
army of Prince Leopold and Field Mar-
shal Von Mackensen both report that
the Russians are being driven back
along a wide front.
In the Galacian operations recently
resumed, the Germans have met with
a check on the Strrpa river where
strong Russian forces counter at-
tacked and, according to Berlin, "par-
tially stopped" the Austro-German pur-
suit.
BORDER SITUATION STILL VEXING
Heavy Reinforcements of U. S. Troops
Near Brownsville.
More Troops To the Border.
Washington.—Two regiments of in-
fantry and one of cavalry were or-
dered from Galveston to reinforce
American troops patroling the Mex-
ican border Secretary Garrison an-
nounced that the war department was
sending additional forces at the re-
quest of Major General Funstcn. com-
manding the border patrol. The sec-
retary indicated the troop mc7ement
comprised merely a pan of a gercral
plan evolved by General Funs;cn for
strencther.icg bis positions.
Washington.—The rushing of heavy
reinforcements into the trouble zone
by the United States authorities is be-
lieved to have had the expected re-
sult of overawing the Mexicans whose
raids into Texas had become so per-
sistent as to give rise to rumors of
an organized invasion of American
territory. While no further fighting
was reported from the trouble zone
near Brownsville, American troops
were on the alert all along the Rio
Grande to check any recurrence of
raids Into Texas by Mexican bands.
In a bruch, which in the annals of
Latin-American wars, would have been
considered a real battle, 30 Mexicans
were killed, the fighting all being
across the boundary.
Extraordinary precautions had been
taken by border patrol officers after
the circulation of reports that prepar-
ations wefe under way for a general
invasion of the United States terri-
tory.
Major General Funston was given
authority to handle any emergency
and commanders would not hesitate
to pursue to a rout the participants in
any movement approximating an
armed invasion. If the raiders con-
tinued to appear only in small bands,
however, it was understood they would
not be followed across the frontier.
News dispatches from the border
stated the situation had been relieved
by co-operation of the Carranza mili-
tary authorities who removed their
troops from the river bank at Cavazos.
Major General Funston reported
that General Nafaratte, the Carranza
commander at Matamoros, again had
denied that Carranza troopers were
riding the 1'exican border and pro-
posed bringing more Carranza troops
to the Mexican side to suppress dis-
orders. The Carranza authorities have
suggested a conference to arrange
joint action.

WOMAN HELD FOR H'TCHET CRIME
Polios Charge Widow With Province
Murder at Muskogee.
Muskogee—Charged with the mui
der of her husband, W. 11. Province*
the suburban grocer killed in his store
at midday on August 11, Mrs. Prov*
Ince, the widow, was arrested on a
warrant sworn out by County Attorney
Fred P. Branson.
The arrest of Mrs. Province came
only after officers had pleaded for
days with the county attorney to taka
this course and after a sensational
identification of the hatchet used to
kill the grocer—the hatchet which
Mrs. Province swore before the cor-
oner's inquest, did not belong to tha
store.
Several days ago Former Deputy
Sheriff W. L. Bobbins telephoned
iiranson slating that Ills 14 year-olil
poy had played with the Province boys
for a long time and would probably
he able to tell whether or not the
hatchet belonged at the store.
Bronson secured two old, rusty hat-
chets and the hatchet found after the
murder, lie put the three hatchetH
together in the waste basket of hit*
ouice. When young Bobbins waa
brought to the olllco, Branson asked
him if he could swear positively that
ho had seen a hatchet on tho Prov-
ince place.
"1 can," said tho boy, "and 1 would
know It."
"Well, if that Is so," said Iiranson,
pulling the hatchets from their bid-
ing place and laying them on tho
lloor, "tell me if all of these or any
of these is the hntobet you have seei*
and if so point out all or any you liava
seen on the Province place."
"This is the one," said the boy,
without a seconds hesitation, as 14>
reached down and picked up the hat-
chet which was found by officers iii
the store after Province had been
murdered.
Three adults also have sworn posi->
tively that they have noticed a hatchet
at the Province place, but none have
made such a positive identification aai
the boy. To offset this testimony1
there are statements by at least two
people that there w«n no hachet atj
the Province store.
Ever since the day of the* murdeq
