from Vera Cruz. The president is
sued the following statement:
"Troops have been ordered with

Called Out of Mexico

under Rear Admiral Frank F. Fletch-
er, in an engagement which cost the
lives of twenty-five American ma
rines and several hundred Mexicans.

The seizure grew out of the Tam
rico harbor incident, when American
bluejackets on shore leave were az

the great turning movement OF the

Petrograd, Oct. German forces
have been repulsed in their attempts
to cross the river Niemen, but heavy
fighting continues in the Suwalki dis
trict, according to an official report
from Grand Duke Nicholas, command
er-in-chief of the Russian armies.
The grand duke also states that the
Austrians have been repulsed at Dull
ka, Galicia, which is about fifty miles
southwest of Przemysl.
Unofficial reports state that part Of
General Ruszky's forces already have
reached Tarnow and that fighting has
been in progress there for twenty-foul
hours. The capture of Tarnow will
leave the road clear for an advance
ON Cracow.
The report from Grand Duke Nicho
las was as follows:
There was severe fighting on Sept
near Ossowiec and Drussniki. The
enemy tried to cross the Niemen, but
was repulsed. The battle continues.
"The Austrians in Gaicia have been
repulsed near Dulka."
The fighting at Dulka is believed tc
have ben with the Austrians who fell
back to Jaslow and attempted to rally
there. Both Dulka and Jaslow are on
the Jasielka river.
That the Germans expect no attempt
by the Russians to take Cracow by
storm, but expect General Ruszky tc
res content with an investment of that
city, while his main forces pursue
their march on Silesia, is indicated by

the Germans are fortifying the heights
south of Kielce, Russian Poland. The
heights are in the way OF direct

PEACE FARLEY
IBEGINS IN MEXICO
Cafranza Delegates Conte!
, With Villas Men,
FULL IN ARMED ACTIVITY
First Chief Insists That He Will Hold
Office Until He Is Removed by the
People.

| Mexico City, Oct. 1.-The first ses
1sion OF the peace parley between rep
resentatives OF Venustiano Carranzs
and Francisco Villa is under way In
s Zacatecas, according to telegram re
ceived here.
General CarranZas representatives
are Generals Obregon, Coca, Trevino
ay and Coy, while the delegates rep
resenting the leader of the division
of the north are Eugenio Benevides
Yebe Robes and Colonel Ceniceros.
1t is the object Of the first chiefs
delegates to maintain the status quo
until the real peace convention is held
in Mexico City.
Carranza still maintains the attitude
that he should remain at the head OF
the government until his successor
can be chosen by the people or by the
convention of governors and generals
that will convene in Mexico City, pos
sibly in October.
! General Carranza's attitude is ex
dressed in a message which has been
placed before Villas agents In Zaca
feAs. In part it says:
the chiefs accept my resignation
It is rendered to them at the
Alton in the capital. will gladly
20 protect life with the belief
ave done my duty. But II my
Is not accepted, will fight
nc reaction with the same On
Ind firmness that I fought the
Pation of Huerta.'
speaking of the approaching con
ion General Carranza said:
a We want it to be truly representa-
tive of the people, so that 1t may be
said afterward that the result OF the
people of Mexico. If, when the con.
vention Is assembled, 1t is found that
ill the chiefs summoned have not
come, we will Immediately summon
proxies so that all sections will have
representation"
One thing is certain. Carranza will
not stand by and see villa swept into
power if he can prevent 1t. The first
chief believes that If he should re
sign, Villa should relinquish the lead
ership of the division Of the north.
Their is no news coming to the wal
department of operations north Of the
capital, and 1t is believed that an ar
mistice practically exists, pending the
result OF the parley In Zacatecas.
Four hundred and eighty-eight bars
of bullion, valued at 100000 pesos
