Washington, July 25.-Direct ad-
vices to the United States from Pro-
visional President Carbajal, General
Carranza, General Villa and Emiliano
Zapata-the four chief elements in the
Mexican problem-renewed the hopes
of officials here for peace.
Carbajal, through the Brazilian min
lister in Mexico City, declared he is
willing to transfer the executive
power to Carranza and has sent q
delegate, Reginaldo Cepeda, to ar
range with the Constitutionalist chief.
Carbajal reiterated that he merely
wants an amnesty for political Of
tenders and guarantees for the safety
of property of Huerta supporters.
Carranza manifested his readiness
to be lenient with the foes Of the
Constitutionalists and give the de-
sired guarantees.
Villa, in message phrased in most
courteous terms, spoke Of the desire
to see peace and gave assurances that
he would do his utmost to restore
normal conditions.
Zapata manifests a desire to join
with the Constitutionalist chief In re-
the governmental ma

IRISH MEMBERS AROUSED
Demand Inquiry Into Action Of Sol.
diers at Dublin.

r. p
London, July 2S.-The effect of the
Dublin home rule tragedy has been
to smash Premier Asquith's plan for
taking up the amending bill The pre-.
mier announced that the question has
been indefinitely postponed.
The Irish members are so exaspe-
rated over the killing of four persons
and the wounding of many others in
the clash between the regular troops
and the Nationalist volunteers that
they are in no frame of mind to grant
any concessions to Ulster. The Labor
tiles and many Liberals support them.
The government announced in the
house of commons that Deputy Police
Commissioner Harrell, who ordered
out the troops, has been suspended
and that his superior commissioner,
Sir John Ross, who expressed a de-
sire to share the responsibility, has
resigned his Office.
A special inquiry will be held prob
ably by judicial commission. In
the meantime the demand for the re.
moval of the Scottish borderers from
Dublin has not been granted, largely
because an attempt to march them
out would be the signal for attacks
by the mobs. They will remain pris.
oners In barracks until the anger Of
the people has cooled.

Three Men and One Woman
Killed in Dublin Riot.
over SIXTY PERSONS INJURED
Clash Between Troops and National.
lists Results From Landing Arms
ia Vicinity Of Dublin.

Dublin, July 27.-Three men and
one woman are dead and more than
sixty persons are in the hospital
wounded as the result of battalion
of the Kings Own Scottish Borderers
firing into mob in the streets OF
Dublin. Seven of the wounded prob.
ably will die. Among them are three
women and boy of ten.
The ARRAY was the result of a gun
running exploit of the Nationalist
volunteers, who we're being aided by
. mob composed largely of women
and youths.
A consignment of rifles, said to
number 10000, was landed at Howth,
nine miles from Dublin, from a pri.
vate yacht. The Nationalist volun-
teers cut the wires and stopped travel
on the Dublin roads and, according to
reports, sent away most of the rifles,
together with 10000 rounds of ammu.
milton, in motor cars.
A battalion of the Kings Own Scot
fish B0rderers was ordered to capture
the arms when the authorities heard
the volunteers were bringing them to
the city. The soldiers encountered a
detachment Of volunteers at Clonwell
bridge and an outbreak resulted, but
there was no shooting. Soon a great
crowd collected and followed the
troops, jeering them and cheering for
John Redmond, the Nationalist leader,
and home rule. Finally the mob be-
gan throwing bottles and stones. IL

juring several soldiers.
To this attack the battalion replied
with scattering fusillade. In an in
slant the street was covered with
wounded, while terrified men, women
and children ran in all directions.
St. Juras' hospital is situated only
200 yards from the scene of the af.
fray and the wounded were quickly
taken there, where four of them died.
The arms were landed from a sail
ing vessel the name of which had
been painted over. A woman, or a
man in woman's clothing, some per
sons say, commanded the yacht:

London, July 2S.An engagement
between Austrians and Servians is re.
ported to have occurred on the Dan.
ube, but no details are available and
it is not believed to have been Of i'm.
portance. AS far as the censorship
permits to be known Austria has not
opened her military operations. q
Meanwhile diplomacy is proceeding
with energy along two separate lines
to avert the war if possible and II
that is impossible to localize the con-
fiict First, Sir Edward Grey, the
British secretary of state for foreign
affairs, has proposed to the powers a
plan for joint mediation which, it is
stated, France and Italy already have
accepted. Germany has not replied
and her acceptance is regarded doubt
full.
Sir Edward Grey explained in the
house of commons his idea that the
four powers, Great Britain, France,
Germany and Italy, cooperate in an
endeavor to arrange the dispute be-
tween Austria and Servia on the ba-
sis of Seryia's reply to the Austrian
ultimatum. This reply he regarded
as the foundation on which friendly
and impartial powers should be able
to arrange an acceptable settlement.
Russia Working for Peace.
The second line of diplomatic en-
deavor, from which even more is
hoped, is taking place at ST. Peters
burg between the Russian minister of
foreign affairs, Sergius Sazonoff, and
