VIENNA - War between Aus,
tria and Servia is now in progress.
The danger that it may spread
throughout the continent is causing
grave concern in all the capitals of
Europe.
NJ. JOvanovitch, Servian minister tC
Vienna, has left for Belgrade, com,
pletely severing relations between the
two countries.
These developments show the open
ing of hostilities, though without a
formal declaration of war:
Servian troops blew up the railroad
bridge spanning the Lave at Semlin. 1t
is at Semlin that Austria has concen-
trated the greatest force for the in
vasion of Servia.
Reports of Servians firing on an
Austrian boat bearing troops on the
Danube are confirmed. The fire was
returned and a hot engagement fol-
lowed.
Reports were received here that an
engagement was in progress near the
mouth of the Temes river, east Of Bel.

BECKER'S SECOND TRIAL
TO BEGIN WEDNESDAY
Attorney for Former Police Lieu.
tenant Keeps Mum as to
Defense.

NEW YORK. May 4-For the second
trial of Charles Becker former police
lieutenant. on a charge Of having insti-
gated the murder of Herman Rosenthal,
which will begin Wednesday, District At
torney Charles 5. Whitman will call sew
enty witnesses. Many new faces. II is
said, will be seen in the witness chair.
and several witnesses prominent in the
first trial will not appear.
AS at the first trial. the states case
will be made around the story of Jack
Rose. which will be corroborated by
"Bridsie' Webber and Harry Nallon
The other member of the quartet made
famous in the previous trial is sam
Schepps, but the ruling OF the court of
appeals in granting Becker a new trial
discredited his testimony and made II
valueless at the coming trial.
The sensational feature of the first
Becker trial, too. will be missing. The
death in the electric chair at Sing SING
prison Easter Monday of the four gun
men convicted of the actual murder OF
Rosenthal removed them from the scene
enacted when they We're led into the
courtroom to be identified by witnesses as
the murderers.
For the defense Martin T. Manton per
sists in policy of silence as to his plans
1t is said, however. that Becker is anxious
to take the stand in his own behalf. ano
that Manton may permit him to do so.
1t is expected that several days viii
be occupied in securing jury. The tria
will probably occupy three weeks or a
month.

OIL COMPANIES RESUME.
Employees of Mexican Plants to Be
Reassembled at Once,

Operations in the great Mexican oil
fields are to be resumed just as soon
as the employees can be gathered from
the places where they fled for refuge
when the military operations at Tampico
threatened the destruction of the oil
properties. Sir Cecil Spring Rice. the
British ambassador, received notice to-
day from Sir Lionel Garden. the British
minister in Mexico City, that Gen.
Huerta had consented to the return of
the Oil workers to the fields and had
undertaken to give them protection as
far as possible.
AS the constitutionalists already have
given similar pledge. it is thought
that conditions are now right for the
resumption Of oil production. although
the failure Of the effort to secure the
creation of a neutral zone covering the
oil fields will perhaps make 1t necessary
for some Of the wells and tanks to be
abandoned temporarily, if they happen
to fall within the field of active mill
tary operations, in order to insure the
safety of the personnel.

REBELS AND FEDERALS

Messages Show Bitterness at Man
zanillo, Rear Admiral How
ard Reports.

Constitutionalists and Huerta leaders at
Manzanillo. Mexico, have been exchang-
ing very bitter messages. according to a
report to the Navy Department today
from Rear Admiral Howard, who has
read several Of the letters Admiral
Howard said all was quiet at Manzanillo.
He made no mention of the reported
blowing up of the Mexican liner Luella.
In wireless dispatches to the Navy De-
partment Admiral Howard. on the ar
mored cruiser California. at Mazatlan,
told of conditions on the west coast of
Mexico.
Conditional Surrender of Acapulco.
The admiral said the South Dakota, at
Acapulco. had transmitted a rumor that
the federals had consented to evacuate
Acapulco on condition that the Zapatistas
would not attack them. 1t was under
stood that the federals invited Zapatistas
to join them. but that this request was
refused. Last reports from Acapulco are
to the effect that everything was quiet
but owing to the difficulties of radio COM
municaton the reports made to Admiral
Howard from that port have been exceed
lngly fragmentary.
Vague and indefinite ru1nors from the
interior have reached the cruiser Mary
land of disturbances in the vicinity OF
the Elfavor mines. near Hostalipaguilla,
but no confirmation has been received.
Location of q. S. Vessels.
The Albany has arrived at San Bias
the Lawrence. Hull, Preble and Truxton
are at Mazatlan, and the Stewart and
Perry are at La Paz.
Commander Robertson of the Denver,
at Salina Cruz. reported that the Pacific
Mail steamer San Jose sailed Thursday
night, and expected to pass Mazatlar
May 4. All Americans were reported ou,

SAY FEELING GROWS
AGAINST HUERTA REGIME
Mexico City Advices Tell Of Die
tator's Break With Gen.
Banquet.

VERA CRUZ, May 4.-American refu-
gees continue to arrive from the capitai
and they bring divergent stories OF the
situation there Latest arrivals confirm
the previous reports of a growing un-
dereurrent of feeling against the Huerta
regime, and tell of rumor of rupture
between Huerta and Gen. Banquet min
lister of war. 1t was the latter with the
crack Goth Regiment that took the mill
tary coup which resulted in the down
fall of President Francesca l. Madero.
Some Of the returning Americans, who
claim to have information from those
close to Huerta. declare he is reiterat-
ing to confidants that he will never re-
sign. but talks of the possibilities of a
coup against him. Several of the Amer
lean business men say the foreign dip
lohnatic representatives counseled them
not to leave the capital. that there was
no necessity to do SO. as there was prac-
tically no danger and the whole situation
would be clarified soon.
Feel Change Is Impending.
The resignation Of Jose Lopez Portillo
y Rojas, the foreign minister, coupled
with reports that there is a growing un-
dercurrent of feeling in Mexico City
against the Huerta government, IS in
terpreted here as foreshadowing a change
in the federal capital
Close observers here believe Senior Por-
tillos resignation may clear the way
eventually for the appointment of a for
eign minister, who, under the Mexican
constitution, could succeed Huerta as
president.
In these circles it is pointed out that
while Gen. Carranza declined to treat
with Huerta. he might consent to enter
into negotiations with his successor and
thus facilitate mediation. Continued rebel
successes in the north and attacks on
Tampfco may, in the opinion of some,
bring about a change of policy.
The interior was reported quiet yester-
day. People arriving here from the
capital said the populace was beginning
to learn that Huerta was deceiving it
all the time by issuing false reports of
federal successes against the constitu-
tonaists.
Fear Villa More Than q. S. Troops.
News of the peaceful way in which
Americans are occupying Vera Cruz, 1t is
said, has spread to the capital, and has
convinced the people there that the
American invasion of the port is not for
conquest or aggression. The capitals
Inhabitants fear the coming there of
FRANCISCO Villa more than that of the
American troops. it is said.
Elements in Mexico City which cling
TO the memory of the late President
francisco I. Madero. are reported to
have been fncensed by the arrest of
deputies. who were cast into iail on
charges Of conspiracy
ne refugees generally expressed dis
appointment at the lack of any indication
OF an advance of the American army on
tne capital. They say the best class
of Mexicans share this view.

TAMPICO HARBOR MINED.
Mexicans Plan to Prevent Return of
American War Vessels.

Reports to the Navy Department from
Rear Admiral Mayo indicate that the
Mexican federal forces have mined the
Panuco river. the inlet to the city of
Tampico from the Gulf of Mexico.
The river is navigable to Tampico for
only comparatively light draft vessels.
Two weeks. ago the scout cruiser Ches-
ter. the gunboat Dolphin and one or
two other American vessels were lying
in front of Tampico in the river. The
entire city was directly under their
guns and Admiral Mayo was convinced
he could have taken the place without
the loss of a man.
1t was deemed advisable however, to
order the ships from the harbor to the
gulf. This scarcely had been accom-
plished. it is said. before the Mexicans
placed mines in the river to prevent
the ships again from entering.
