Durazzo, Albania, June 15.—Gov-
ernment troops under the leadership
of Prince William repulsed a strong
attack on the Albanian capital by
Mussulmen insurgents. At the outset^
of the fighting the insurgents gained
an advantageous position, but after
Colonel Thompson, Dutch commander
of Gendarmers, had been killed,
Prince 'William placed himself at the
head of the defenders and repulsed
the attacking force after three hours
fighting.
A battle which may result decis-
ively in the fight between the Con-
stitutionalists and General Huerta
is now being fought at Zacatecas, a
Huerta stronghold on the road to
Mexico City.

the city taken from a hill above it.

Saltillo. Mex., June 13.—(Via La-

making a desperate resistance to Gen-
eral Natera and although the consti-
tutionalists have captured Guadalupe.
Mereces and Grlllo, suburbs of the
town, they were repulsed twice with
heavy loss from the fortified hill of
La Buffa which is one of the strong-
est defenses of the town. General
N'atera reported to General Carranza
that his charges at La Buffa wero
met with a withering artillery fire
from the federal defenses which he

arms and much ammunition and two
field pieces.
Cuemavaca was captured June

ceived today by General Carranza.
General Carranfla declined to dls
CUBS the scope of action or the pow
ers which will be delegated to the
representatives of the constitutional-
ists to be sent t Niagara Falls. He
also declined to discuss the possibil-
ity of an armistice, declaring that in
diplomatic affairs as In military mat-
ters it was inadvisable that certain
matters be made public.
He asked to be excused from dis-
cussing these matters saying that he
preferred to remain silent in regard
to them than to have any statement
he might make given a possible mis-
leading construction.
General Carranza, however, seemed
most optimistic regarding the recep-
tion of the constitutionalist represen-
tatives and the success of their mis-
sion. He reiterated the fact that he
previously had accepted the good of-
fices of the A. B. C. mediators in
principle for the discussion of inter-
nal question.
Claims Big Army.
About the military affairs of the
constitutionalists General Carranza
spoke more freely. In reply to a
question as to the number of men
under arms in the constitutionalist
army General Carranza estimated
them at 100,000.
He Bald there were In his posses-
sion also 120 pieces of field artillery,

On the fifteenth of March, 1913,
General Carranza held a review in
Saltillo of the constitutionalist
troops. He had less than 200 men

Butte, Mont., June 15.—Rioting by
seceding members of the local union
of the Western Federation of Miners
continued all Saturday night and Sun-
day, but with the announcement Sun-
day night that Governor S. W. Ste-
wart would arrive before morning
to Investigate the situation, some
semblance of order was restored.
After dynamiting and looting the
safe of the local union Saturday
night, many of the 2,000 revolters
against extra assesments and the
card system of the union continued
to parade the streets. Dynamite was
exploded under the home of P. K.
Sullivan, an officer of the miners'
union and the seceders vowed a new
union would be formed under the
leadership of the Industrial Workers
of the World.
Although several hundred miners
returned to work Sunday mnny dis-
orderly persons kept up riotous tac-
tics. In the afternon a crowd took
two prisoners from the, city jail and
later seized a fire truck. A fals?
alarm of fire had been turned in and
firemen tried to run the fire appara-
tus through the crowd.
The insurgent miners scrambled
on the truck and threw the fire fight-
ers off. When the minerB found that
they could not operate the vehicle
they returned it to the fire depart-
ment with a warning not to run it
through a crowd again.
Delegates were sent to fire stations
with a demand that fire departments
make sure there was a fire before
answering the alarm. The crowd also
broke several windows and did other
damage to one fire station. Threats
were made to lynch Deputy Sheriffs
Owen Crlben and Martin Harklns.
but the officers were guarded by the
police, who arrested two men. The
policemen with drawn revolvers
backed down an alley with their
prisoners beside the two deputies.
They got Bafely to the jail, but the
crowd became so menacing that Chief
of Police Joseph Miller ordered the
prisoners released.
The rioters carled the two men
away on their shoulderB.
A delegation visited the three news-
paper offices and demanded that no
further mention be made derogatory
to the Industrial Workers of the
World and tliat the words "mob" and
"rioters" should not appear in any
story of the situation.
Of the 9,000 members of the union
here the insurgents are said to con-
trol the votes of 2,000.
All saloons were ordered closed
Saturday and remained with doors
locked for the first Sunday in many
years.
Acting Mayor Frank Curran, who
was thrown out of a window and in-
jured while trying to pacify the mob
that wrecked the federation s head
quarters, is resting eaBy in a hospi
tal.

Clinton, Mo., June 15.—Predictions
that the next national political cam-
paign In the United States will be
fought out on the "wet" and "dry"
Issue, and that the year nineteen
twenty will see a nominee of the
prohibition party In the white house,
were made by H. P. Farls of Clinton,
treasurer of the national prohibition
committee, welcoming delegates to
the national conference of the pro-
hibition party.
Mr. Farls said It was almost hope-
less to get prohibition through the
present plan of amendment to the
federal constitution. The country
would have to elect the entire pro-
hibition ticket, and then the whole
question would be settled forever.
