Carranxa VIII Enter. the Capt.
tai without IN Army.


Washington, Aug. Secretary Bry-
an announces that satisfactory ar
rangements have been made between
General Carranxa and Governor 1tur-
bide of the federal district at the City
of Mexico for the peaceful occupation
of the capital by the constitutionalist
forces.
Without . Government.
Mexico City. Aug. 14.-Preparations
for the reception Of the triumphant
constitutionalist army in the capital
are under way. A committee, consist
ing of senators and deputies Of the OLD
Madero congress, has been appointed to
meet General Carranxa as he enters the
city, business houses have requested to
decorate and arrangements have been
made for women to strew the path OF
the incoming army with flowers.
The departure Of President Carbajal
and his cabinet caused no interruption
in the normal life of the capital, but for
the first time in it's history Mexico finds
itself without legislative, judicial or
executive powers.
When the constitutionalists enter the
city they win find 1t without money.
arms or ammunition. A visit to the bar
racks and arsenals showed that rooms
which were stored with guns, cart
ridges and shells were empty. The TAX
ing away of 20 much war material by
the federals is causing some uneasiness
here.
Although the destination Of the fed
eral army was carefully guarded, 1t II
believed that Puebla City is the point
to which 1t is proceeding. General
Velasc0, minister of war, will head the
retreating forces.
Senior Lujan, former minister of the
| interior, is to make q hurried trip to
Washington. The purpose of the
journey is not known. President Car
baja1 and his other associates will
remain in Vera Cruz for the present
The banks in the capital are closed
The closing was due to confusion ovel
| the many issues of currency by the
contending factions in the revolution
The bankers desire to know which
issues are to be recognized by the new
regime before they again open theil
doors for business.

with many wounded. The telegram,
apparently censored. did not identify
the warships, but said they were re-
ported to have been in action with the
German cruisers Scharnhorst and
Gneisenau.
A London report says the captain
of Danish steamer declares he
passed seven sunken German ships on
the east coast of England. He could
not identify them, but believed they
were warships.
The reported purchase of the Ger
man cruisers Goeben and Breslau, by
Turkey, has been made the occasion
of action by the British, French, Bel
gian and Russian allies, which are to
call Turkeys attention to her duty as
a neutral.
Greece also is perturbed by the
purchase of the two cruisers, which
she considers will upset the equilib-
rum of power in the Levant.
Russia is reported from st. Peters,
burg to have modified 5,5O0,0OO men,
100000 of whom are on the German
and Austrian frontiers.
Today all is reported quiet along

T.R. HITS THE ROAD
Will Begin Four Days Speak
ing Trip Tomorrow.
Future Plans Depend on How
His Voice Holds Out.

New York, Aug. 4.-The plans Of
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt during the
fall campaign will depend upon the
condition of his voice after the strain of
a four days speaking trip in New Eng
land on which he will start tomorrow
morning. Colonel Roosevelt has been
taking a rest cure forced on him by
his physician when larynx trouble de-
Veloped soon after his return from
Madrid.
The journey through New England
will be made for the most part by auto
mobile, the start being made at Stam-
ford. Conn. The colonel plans to reach
Pennington in time to lunch at the
home of his sister, Mrs. COwles. To-
morrow night he will speak at Pro-
gressive rally at Hartford, returning to
Pennington to spend the night at the
Cowles home.
On Sunday the schedule calls for a
long run to Newfane, VT, where he
will be the guest of George X. Cherrie,
one OF his companions on his recent
south American trip. Monday Colonel
Roosevelt will motor to Brattlesboro,
VT, and from there he will go by train
to Boston to attend Progressive field
day rally. He will speak Monday night
at the Boston arena. On Tuesday he
will go to ewistOn, Me-, for an after
noon meeting and at night he will go to
Portland. where the Maine Progressives
have arranged for reception in his
honor. He plans to motor back to
Oyster Bay on Wednesday.

Constantine Calls Conference.
A dispatch to the Exchange Tele-
graph company from Athens says that
King Constantine, at the suggestion of
the premier and minister of war, E. Veni-
zelos has called a conference of all
former premiers and party leaders to
determine the attitude of Greece in the
face of Turkeys purchase of the
cruisers GOeben and Breslau from Ger
many.
A dispatch to the Daily News from
Rome says:
Turkeys purchase of the German
cruisers Breslau and GOeben has made
an unpleasant impression here. Italy
probably will de emand an explanation
as to the future use of these ships and
also warn Turkey that she will not
allow the equilibrium of the lower
Mediterranean to be threatened, as
Italy is determined to prevent COM
plications."
dispatch to the Chronicle from
West Hartlepcol says the captain OF
the Danish steamer Huldamaersk de-
clares he passed seven sunken ships
fifteen miles off Spurn Head at the
northeast ertlance of the Humber.
Only the masts of the vessels were visi-
bic above the water but the captain
believes they were German men Of
war.
To Call Turkey to Account.
Paris, Aug. 1.-THE allied govern
ments opposed to Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary have agreed to bring
Turkey to realization of its obliga-
tions as neutral power in connection
with her purchase from Germany of
the cruisers Gocben and Breslau.
