Both denied that Carranza intends

LONDON, July 25.-The

European horizon since
Germany sent warships to
Agadir in 1911 has arisen
within 4S hours. The Ser
Wan government refuses to
comply with Austria s de-

explanation Of the murder
of Archduke Ferdinand and

holds anti-Austrian conspir-

behavior is also asked. Mar

garian empire following
Servia' s acceptance of some
conditions and rejection of
others. Diplomatic rela-

Apparently Austria is re-

U, S. AWAITS END OF
Mex. PEACE CONF.

Washington. Oct. 22.-American
troops seem sure to remain In Vera
Cruz until the further relations be-
tween General Carranza and the
Aguas Calientcs convention is adjust
ed. is the opinion Of officials here
who base their views on today's ad-
vices to the State department.
Carranaa has referred back to the
convention the administrative ques-
tion incident to commanding the
troops, although he had submitted
the same question to the convention
before 1t voted itself the supreme au
thority in Mexico and had instruct
ed him to comply with the proposals
OF the United States.
Carranza has since questioned the
sovereignty Of the convention. His
explanation to the United States was
that for him to issue proclamation
embodying the American proposals
might establish a dangerous prece-
dent.
Advices direct from General Car
rama at Mexico City to the Consti-
tutionalist headquarters here today
deny the report that delegates al
Aguas Calientes were arrested by
order Of General Villa. This is con-
firmtaory of word previously re-
ceived by the state department.

A score of the city's heaviest tax
payers were present and they came
prepared to help the city dads solve
the problem of financing the city
through another year without max
ing an additional tax levy. Mayor
DunIavy called for suggestions from
those present but c. H. Nichols was

IS RELEASED

Washington. Oct. 22.-Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice. the British ambassador,
was informed today by the London
foreign offices that the American
tank steamer John D. Rockefeller.
seized by British cruisers. had been
released.
The Ambassador received no word
concerning the other American ships,
the Brindilla and Platuria. His ad-
vices fere communicated at once to
the White House and that was TAX
en- in official circles as an indication
OF the personal interest Mr.. Wilson
has taken in the case.
The Rockefeller. like the Brindil-
la and the other two ships, carried
Illuminating oil which Great Britain
is understood to have decided is con-
traband. She was seized and taken
to an island off the coast of Scotland.
The advices were that the Rookie
felIer's cargo was consigned merely
to "order" at Copenhagen and that
the British cruiser which took her
had difficulty in establishing It's dcs-
tination.
The British ambassador made the
following statement based on mes
sage from the London foreign office:
"The John ID. Rockefeller was de-
tained because there was nothing to
show in her papers for w.,m the oil
sic ca, led was destined II vas on
ly consigned to order. It has now
been ascertained that the oil In her
tanks was destined for the Danish
Petroleum Company and that there
is in Denmark an embargo on expor-
t8tion.
Directions were at once given for
the release of the vessel. Fuel and
lubricants were declared conditional
contraband by the proclamation OF
August L."
Acting Secretary Lansing OF the
State Department announced today
that the United States had protested
to Great Britain against the seizure
of the American steamer Brindella.

release.
