Awful Clash of Cavalry.
London, Sept. 2S.-A dispatch to
the Telegraph from Petrograd SAYS
that on Sunday a spirited account Of
the destruction of the Hungarian
Guard, a cavalry division, in the bat
tie of Grodek, appeared in the Russ
ko Slovo. 1t follows:
"A considerable force Of Austrians
fell upon the advance guard of Gen.
Broussilof, which was composed Of
infantry. The plan of the enemy
was clear. He hoped to shatter our
advance guard and then break
through our center. Our infantry
and artillery had strongly entrenched
themselves, and in reserve were seve-
raj Cossack detachments.
''At first the Austrian infantry
moved out for the attack. 1t was
met with a deadly fire Of cannon and
machine guns and the enemy waver-
ed and fell back.
Then the cavalry was sent out.
The flower of the AuStro-Hungarian
army, the Budapest guard division,
formed of Magyars, bright iacketed
Hungarians, galloped furiously down
in close order. 1t appeared as if
nothing could arrest their impetuous
course, not even the awful shrapnel
fire Of the artillery, which brought
death and destruction into their
ranks, nor even The rain of bullets
from machine guns.
1.-THE Magyars did not hesitate for
moment, but continued to charge at
our trenches. One more minute and
it seemed as if nothing would be left
of our infantry.
All at once the thud of hoofs and
the clatter OF steel were heard and
the Magyars were met by a whirl-
wind of COssacks. For two hours
the Austrian and Russian infantry
watched with beating hearts the
scene of terrible carnage.
AT the end Of this time of the
fine Budapest guard division not one
man was left and the whole field
was strewn with the enemy's corpses,
severed heads, hands and legs and
dead horses.
The commander Of the division.
Gen. Frohreich, could not stand the
disgrace Of defeat and shot himself
on the battlefield. AS was after
wards explained, he had promised to
bring to the Austrian Emperor on the
latter's birthday news Of the com
plete destruction of the Russian
army. BY throwing his division on

vention here as the candidate of the
party for United States senator. The
nomination was unanimous and Mr..

STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT

Following is the official statement is
sued as representing the views of
President Wilson and the administra-
ton on Mexico:
In discussions in official circles in
Washington of the present Mexican
situation the following points have
been very much dwelt upon:
ut has been pointed out that, in
considering the present somewhat
delicate situation in Mexico, the I'M
pleasant incident at Tampico must not
be thought of alone. For some time
past the de facto government of Mex
leo has seemed to think mere apollo
gies sufficient when the rights Of
American citizens or the dignity of
the government of the United States
were involved and has apparently
made no attempt at either reparation
or the effective correction of the seri-
Gus derelictions Of it's civil and mill
tary officers.
Orderly Placed in Jail.
Immediately after the incident at
Tampico an orderly from one of the
ships of the United States in the har-
Dor of Vera Cruz, who had been sent
ashore to the post Office for the ships
mail, and who was in uniform and
who had the official mail bag on his
back, was arrested and put into jail
by the local authorities. He was sub
sequently released and nominal pun
ishment was inflicted upon the officer
who arrested him, but it was signifi-
cant that an orderly from the fleet Of
the United States was picked out
from the many persons constantly 60
ing shore on various errands, from
the various ships in the harbor, rep"
resenting several nations.
Official Dispatch Withheld.
Most serious of all, the officials in
charge Of the telegraph office at Mex
leo City presumed to withhold an Off
cial dispatch Of the government of the
United States to its embassy at Mex
leo City, until it should have been
sent to the censor and his permission
received to deliver it, and gave the
dispatch into the hands of the charge
d'affaires Of the United States only
upon his personal and emphatic de-
mand, he having in the meantime
learned through other channels that
a dispatch had been sent him which
he had not received.
United States Singled Out
