 The troops immediately went into battle and the firing became fast and furious. The Mexicans kept running from cover to cover but maintained the fire. The aim of the Americans was better. however. and their fire had a telling effect from the begin. ming. The result was a complete vic tory for the United States boys.

ROME. March 3.-The allies today stated the demands which they will make against Turkey. These demands are much more harsh than ever but there seems to he no way out of it.
 The allies insist upon the surrender ands in the Agcan sea and upon 1n indemnity of $500 900, 900.
 The demand for the indemnity has caused a sensation as no one sees how Turkey can possibly pay it in the present crippled state of her finances.

It Is believed here that the Wash ington government must take notice of the occurrence and demand redress. Indeed many believe that the attack on the American officers is one Of the most serious events that have happen ed for a long time and that it Is cer- tain to lead either to action by the United States government or to repri- sals by Americans living near the nor- der.
 The Ninth cavalry which was en- gagged in the battle with the Mexican regulars is a negro regiment which made quite a record in Cuba.

Only two teams in the major

McGraw's Giants taking pair of bat
ties from Dooin's daisies.

Pills seem to have the punch this

FRENCH GOVERNMENT
BREAKS PRECEDENT

WASHINGTON, July 13,-War depart
r1ent officials have been placed In an
embarrassing position, 1t became known
today, by request from agents or the
French government for assistance OF the
depa rtment's ordnance bureau In perfect
ing the smokeless powder now used by
the French army and navy. A series OF
unexplained disastrous explosions In the
French magazines aboard ship and ashore
is said 10 have led to this request. which
is quite unusual in view OF the consistent
efforts made by most nations TO protect
the secret OF their powder preparations.
The war department buys all OF It's
powder under contract from an American
company, and this company has protested
vigorously against the disclosure Of Its
trade secrets to foreign government. as
sorting that from patriotic motives it had
previously rejected overtures from this
,reign government to sell IL powder or to
establish a powder factory in F'rahce.
