ANY KNOWLEDGE or THE
WHOLE AFFAIR.

Cettinje, Montenegro, March 13.-
News reached here today that four
Servian transports loaded with troops
were yesterday riddled with shells
fired by an unidentified warship. Ac-
counts of the engagement from two
different sources declare that the
attacking vessel flew the Austro-
Hungarian flag.
The transports were conveying
strong detachments of serYian troops
to assist the Montenegrins in their
siege on the fortress of scutarf The
attack on the four boats occurred off
San Giovanni di Medua
Two of the transports were set on
fire The number of killed and in
jured has not been reported.
No official account of the engage
ment was available this morning and
the unofficial dispatches from San
Giovanni di Medua varied consider
ably.
According to one account, the at
taclzing ship was the Turkish cruis-
er Hamidieh, which is. alleged TO
have been flying the colors of Aus
tria-Hungary.
Another report doubts the war
vessel was the Hamidieh at ali and
says that the cruiser resembIed a
vessel of the Austrian Kaiserin class.
Feeling against Austria has been
high here since Tuesday. when the
Austrian minister to Servia an
nounced that his government object
ed to Servian troops assisting in the
siege of Scutari. Today's news of
the attack on the Servian transports,
therefore created a tremendous SEN
sation here. In official circles, how
ever, no credence was given to the
part of the press disparches relating
to the Austrian flag. officials de-
clared that the attacking vessel was
undoubtedly the Hamideih. which
was reported in the vicinity few
hours before, and added that the
Turkish cruiser would have no rea-
son for hoisting false coiors.

HAS REACHED THE END.
President Wilson Has Nothing Nor
to Offer Mexico

to Offer Mexico.
Washington, Aug. 21.-Administra
ton officials though not entirely
without hope of an amicable under
standing were inclined today to believe
that the negotiations between John
Lind and Provisional President Huerta
had almost reached a deadlock. Huerta
demands immediate recognition and
President Wilson is absolutely and
firmly against it. Within a day or
two, it was said at the White House
today. announcement would be made
clarifying the situation. In all likeIf-
hood the American note and the
Huerta answer will be published ST
multaneously. 1t is now understood
Lind's supplementary negotiations:
while personally cordial, have awaited
nothing. Officials today were not
sanguine that Huerta would recede
and the disposition was to make pub
lie the attitude of the United States as
expressed In its note.
While Mr.. Lind's mission is con-
ceded in official circles to have been
failure so far as its effect on the
Mexican government is concerned, adj
nIinistration officials believe it accom-
piished a great deal. Foreign govern
ments, they think, now have been as
sured of the efforts of the United
States to bring about peace and full
responsibility for the failure of the
effort they place upon inability of
Provisional President Huerta to I'M
derstand the viewpoint of the WASH
ington government conceiVing that
partisan politics is a factor in the
situation.
Senator Lodge, ranking Republican
member of the foreign relations COM
mittee, talked briefly with the presi-
dent today about the situation, de-
claring afterwards he was doing all
he could to uphold the hand of the
president. He was informed of the
progress of Mr.. Lind's negotiations,
but declined to predict what the next
Step would be. President Wilson's dis
position is said to be to make known
to congress exactly what has been at
tempted through Lind's mission, pro-
claim the aims of the administration
and let things in Mexico take their
course, leaving drastic measures to be
considered only when American lives
are in danger. Suggestion that mill
tary demonstration on the Mexican
border and a naval demonstration
along the Pacific and Atlantic coasts
of Mexico would influence better pro-
lection for Americans in case of emer-
gencies have been made to the admin

1--WE agitate Intervention and in
tervention means war. We should do
everything we can to avoid war and
give Mexico the same chance we
asked for and were given in the Civil
war"
Senator Penrose replied political
intervention was not contemplated
and the American citizens demand ed
police protection in Mexico, partic-
ularly along the border, such as had
been afforded in Nicaragua and other
Central American countries for 25
years past. He declared that he was
not urging war or Intervention.
The idea of annexation of any
territory is too absurd to be enter
tanned by any intelligent man." de-
clared the Pennsylvania man in con-
clusion. Senator Smoot declared that
while 5000 citizens of Utah had been
driven out of Mexico, yet he would
deplore American intervention. Sena-
tor Bacon and other senators spoke in
a similar vein.

Can Get No More Money.
Paris, Aug. 21.-No confirmation can
be obtained here of the reports from
Mexica City that bankers 'of Paris and
other European capitals have made an
offer to President Huerta to float a
new loan of 100000. On the con-
trary, the report is not believed by the
BanQue De Paris at Pays Bas, which
took a leading part in the previous

story is also discredited by the banking
