U. S. WOUNDED HOME

Thlrty-Two Victims of Mexican

Relate Their Experiences.

New York, May 16.-Riding deep
and evenly the hospital ship Solace
steamed up the bay to the Brooklyn
navy yard Thursday with 101 patients
in her wards and the fag-draped
bodies of three marines in the after
cabin.
Sixty-one of the six wounded men
were taken to the naval hospital. Thir-
ty-two Of them were the victims of
"sntpers." Four of the thirty-two had
suffered amputation. Three of them
are minus a leg; the fourth lost an
arm. Twenty-eight of those taken to
the hospital were flushed with tropical
fever. Thirty-nine convalescents were
left on the Solace to regain their
strength, Another man, Cash Asher,
one of the Florida's marines, was too
Ill to be removed. He has appendicitis
as well as the bread fever and he is
unconscious, and four of his bunkies
on the Florida are watching by his
side.

Constitutionalist Headquarters, Par

1S.-Fighting has begun in the con.
stitutionalist campaign against Sal
tillo. The first clash has been won
by General Villas troops. A federal
force of 500 men was surprised by a
body of constitutionalist scouts near
Reata Junction, north of Paredon, and
routed with great slaughter. The
Huerta troops left 80 dead on the field
when they fed. The federals are said
to have been the garrison which evac-
uated Monclova.
New Complications Develop.
Vera Cruz, May 1S.-The capture OF
TuXpam, center of the rich petroleum
district, by rebel troops led by Gen
eral Aguilar and General Blanco, has
developed a new complication that in
creases the seriousness of the situa-
ton involving the United States and
Mexico. Aguilar and Blanco profess
no allegiance to General Carranza. but
have been acting independently, like
General Zapata.
Extensive property is owned by Lord
Cowdray and other Britons at Tux
pam, and 1t is possible that they will
demand protection for their interests.
The United States would be unable to
secure this froE: either Huerta or Car
rama.
The federal garrison, commanded by
General OsaranZa, evacuated the city
after his troops had suffered defeat
at Tamiahua. 1t is believed that Oco-
rama has taken his forces to Teziut-
Ian, where they will entrain for Pueb-
la This city is said to have been
selected by Huerta for his final stand.
Reports received here from Tampico
state that city is quiet and that all
commercial houses have reopened for
business.
MoncIova Also Captured.
Juarez, MaXico. May 1S.-Monclova,
the last town held by the federals on
the National Railways of Mexico be-
tween Pedras Negras, opposite Eagle
Pass, Texas, and Saftillo, has been oc-
cupied by constitutionalists under
General Francisco Murgia, according
to a message from General Murgia
The message said the federal garrison
fed as soon as the advance guard Of
the constitutionalists came in sight.
The capture of Monclova, 1t is be-
lieved, will permit the opening of

American border and Monterey.

The policy of Austria in the Balkan

the western powers of Europe-to hem
In Russia so as to prevent it from gain

coast. For the sake Of that aim Tur-
key was permitted to continue its ex-
istence in spite of its misrule and over
bearance. In pursuance OF the same
policy the terms of the treaty OF San
Stefano were annuled by the treaty
Of Berlin to prevent Russia from oD-
tanning important advantages and
eventually the control over the port OF
Cetinie through an arrangement with
Montenegro.
