YESTERDAYS SLEET STORM Sc.
RIoUsLY EMBARRASSED SER
VICE FROM CHICAGO

Chicago, March $50 severe was
the effect of the sleet storm on tele-
graph and telephone fires that it will
be several weeks before the damage
has been rejaired completely. There
was some improvement today, but at
best telegraph service was feeble
and liable to interruption
Some curious routings of messages
were made necessary by the destruc-
ton of the wires. 1t is only S5 miles
from Chicago to Milwaukee, but press
kilograms from Chicago went from
Chicago to Pittsburgh, and around on
Ia leased wire through Columbus,
Ohio, Cincinnati Omaha, Kansas
City and Minneapolis to Milwaukee
The Associated Press leased wire
to Peoria was routed via Pittsburgh
and st. Louis.
1t is estimated that the damage
done to wires will aggregate $4,000
600, the heaviest loss which the tele-
graph and telephone companies have
suffered from storms in the last FIVE
years.

lCAN BORDER TOWN

Nogales, Ariz., March 22.-Reports
from the south today greatly disturb
ed insurgent state officials at Her
mosillo and doubtless troops now
modified between Cananea and Naco
will be hurried to the state capital
It was reported that train bound
for Ortiz, the state troop base just
north Of Guaymas, was captured by
federals who had made a daring sally
from the Gulf port
All available state troops are being
rushed to Ortiz. Probably the army
OF 25,OOO near the border will be hur-
ried also to prevent the threatened
invasion Of Huerta soldiers from the
southwest. General Alfaro Obregon,
commander-in-chief of the state forces
now below Naco, is expected to re-
turn to Hermosillo, as soon as the
completion of the campaign against
Ojeda's federal force at Naco.
Although the state troops suddenly
abandoned their avowed plan of first
attacking Cananea, 0jeda, who last
week SO disastrously defeated the
constitutionalists forces, was not
caught mapping, At once his small
army set out in two columns, the
rapid fire pieces to the east and the
mortars and cannon tc the west.
The state troops also advanced in
two groups Colonels Bracamonte
and Gales, who were defeated pre-
viously below Naco, moved in from
the east with four machine guns.
From the west General Obregon and
Colonel Cabral advanced with bat

CATIONS AT TOWN OF
SCUTARI
RUMORS OF WAR GROWING
LITTLE NATIONS Def is Ex-
PEcTED TO RESULT IN Sc
RIoUs TROUBLE

Vienna, March 2S.-The Austro-
hungarian government today ad-
dressed a strongly worded note to
Montenegro which was IN the nature
of an u1timatum.
Beyond promising that the future
bombardment of Scutari will be di-
rected against the fordfiactions and
not against the town, Montenegro's S
reply to Austrias original remon-
strances, is refusal to comply with
the Austrian demands.
The note declares that for military
reasons Montenegro must refuse to
permit civilians to leave Scutari,
and that she cannot allow the Aus
tria-Hungarian consul in Scutari to
take part in the inquiry into the death
OF the priest Palie or the alleged CO.
erciye conversion of Catholics, de-
claring that such an investigation by
foreign official would be incompat-
ible with tn sovereign rights of the
king Of Montenegro Finally, the re-
ply contains some eyasive remarks
concerning the allegei moiestation Of
the Austrian steamer Skodra at San
Giovanni di Medua Austria demand
ed the punishment of the military and
civil officials responsible for order
ing Captain Blasich to assist in land
ing Seryian troops and war munitions
and TO help rescue drowning men
from transports which the cruiser
Hamidieh had sunk.

en- assurance of amnesty.

Parls Eears the WORST.

Paris, March 22-Austria-Hungary's
isolated action against Montenegro
is looked upon with considerable anx-
iety here 1t is believed that a naval
demonstration off the Montenegrin
coast will, in the present temper of
the Montenegrins, result in an armed
collision. Should such act occur,
Russia, it is believed, certainly would
intervene.
Louis Brunei, the Montenegrin
consul general at Paris, commenting
upon Austrias note to Montenegro
today, said:
1T is clear that Austria seeks a
fresh quarrel with Montenegro and
it recalls the incident at Prizrend in
which the Austrian consul Prochaska
was the principal. On this occasion
Austria selects the moment when
the fortress of scutari is about to
fall to act.
The pretext she uses is trivial,
The Austrian government knows that
to allow the civil population Of Scu-
tari to leave the citadel would be to
paralyze the Servian and Montene-
grin military operations for the rea-
son that the greater part Of the civil
ian inhabitants have been armed and
are defending the city.
