HALIFAX. N. S., Aug. 6.-Two fast
transatlantic English liners put IN
here today to escape German cruisers
encountered of the coaSt. The Cedric
OF the White Star line was the FIRST
to arrive and was soon followed by
the Cunard liner Mauretania. The
latter vessel was conveyed to port by
the British cruiser Essex.
The Cedric is carrying 800 passen-
gers, 210 being In the first cabin and
355 in the second. The liner left Liv-
erpool July 30, and Queenstown July
81, for New York. Her officers do not
know when they may leave Halifax
The Cedric sighted the German cruis-
ers which have been menacing Eng
lish shipping and slipped through
their guard In the darkness last night
with all lights exting1ished.
The Mauretania was conveyed by
the Essex until near Halifax. She
wtrelessed yesterday that cruiser
was following her and the Essex I'M
mediately steamed to her assistance.
After seeing the Mauritania safely IN
port, the Essex again put to sea ana
headed full speed toward the position
given by the Mauretania's sister ship
the Lusitania, enroute to Europe. The
Lusitania is said to have reported
German ship pursuing her.

slaughter, British and French war
ships are sweeping the seas clear OF
German merchantmen. Already the
monetary loss to German shipping In

five prizes of war are in British ports.
A score are in French.
Up to the present time Germany has
made no attempt to strike at England
in force. Her great war fleet Is off
WiIheImsF1aven, guarded by dirioibles
and under the protection OF the land
forts. The preliminary fighting be-
tween the naval forces has been con-
fined to running fighting by destroy
ers, scout cruisers and mine ships. A
German and an English mine chip
have been sunk. The entire English
crew was lost. Twenty-Five Germans
wounded, were taken prisoners when
the German craft sank.
Despite the secrecy OF the admiral.

British war fleet 10 about to strike.
The first fight will hardly be decisive.
With the German armada protected
by land forts, 1t would be suicide for
Admiral CaiIaghan to attack In force.
He will probably undertake a fetnt
with destroyers and possibly with
submarines against the German base,

the admiralty Indicates that 1t Is ex-

frightened up today. All messages

situation has cleared. The Bank OF
England rate Is now only six per cent
and the people generally accepted the
governments advice and there was
no run on the savings banks when
they re-opened for business today.

feet his official residence and the Ger man subjects in the city in case of an anti-Huerta uprising and this su fingered the dictator that he used some very undiplomatic language which caused the ambassador to leave the s.lace without the formality of say ing good bye to the president.
 As the matter stands now the Ger man ambassador has been officially rec uested to have the sailors from the German ship withdrawn from Mexico City at once. This practically amounts to an order, for it intimates that the D. essence of these troops is not desired ny the Mexican government. The ambassador, for his part, does not believe that the protection promised b. Huerta of picked company "f Mexican soldiers to replace the Ger man guards will be efficient in case ot serious outbreaks in the city and !.e has cabled to his home government fol instructions in the matter.
 In the meantime the German sailors sill maintain their position about the embassy and ther machine guns still reek out over the barracks which have been erected about the building.
The Nome daily nugget., 1914-03-13

Early this morning a detail of Mex kan cavalry wheeled into the street m which the German embassy is To- Chted and went into camp about 2 block from the building and within sight of the German guard This is supposed to be the protection prom ised by Huerta when the German sail ors are withdrawn and they are prob. ably waiting to move into position when the present embassy guard en- trains for Vera Cruz.
 There has been no move on the part If the Germans which would indca e that they are making preparations to re. embark on board their ships and the ambassador will probably wait fo;' inst uctions from Berlin before he or des hIs men away from the city or defies Huerta and keeps them here.
 The outcome of this incident is awaited with interest by the other for eigI ambassadors and ministers as Il will gN Q them a lead to follow in case I. becomes necessary for them to ask for the landing of guards.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. March lS.- SC much comment has been raised here over the orders issued by the war department for the transfer of several regiments of infantry from their pres eht stations to Texas that the depart ment last evening issued statement in regard to the matter which it is believed will set at rest the rumors caused by the contemplated movemenl of so large q force to with striking distance of the Mexican border.
 In the first place the department an- n, unces that the present relations be- wenn the United States and Mexica las in no way influenced it in select ing Southern Texas as a point of as- semblage for the soldiers and that the orders were based solely on climatic conditions.
 It is tte purpose of the departmen! unless something transpires to change it's plans. to assemble division of the army ir Texas the same was-cione two years ago. This division will be thrown together for tactical purposes only and will consist of three brgades of three regiments of infantry each.

 MEXICO CITY, aMrch l3.-The re- Iations between the German ambassa cor and President Huerta have recent y become strained and yesterday there was almost an open break be- tween them when the ambassador called at the alace to protest against the order which he had received from army headquarters that the German sailors guarding the embassy must be removed from Mexico City.
 When the ambassador called upon the president he asked if the order for tle withdrawal of German sailors had been issued in accordance with the wishes of Huerta. That gentleman ss i'd that 1t was his desire to have all # the foreign troops withdrawn from lhe capital and that he had arranged to replace them with a picked guard of Mexican soldiers which would af. ford all of the protection that was necessary for the foreigners in Mex. leo City including the German em. bassy.
