LONDON, Aug. 12.-(2:15 p. m. }
1t was officially declared here to-
day the only steps taken by the Brit
ish government to prevent the land
ing of foreigners in the British Isles

was at war.
This declaration was made after
the report had been received here
that Secretary of State Bryan had
cabled to the American ambassador
to investigate reports from American
consular officers on the continent
that the British government had is
sued strict orders forbidding the
landing of foreigners on British
shores until further notice during
the present war crisis.
An order in council signed by the
King was published in the Gazette
on August limiting the entry of
aliens to certain ports SO that they
could be subjected to examination.
This order was not intended in the
least to keep out Americans, II was
stated and had had no effect on the
landing of Americans here. 1t was
pointed out that in the few instances
when the cases OF Americans had
been referred to the authorities the
requested permission to enter al
ways had been granted.

! WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Authority was
! today given American embassies and lega-
| tions throughout Europe to charter ships
In which to bring home Americans.
Secretary Garrison, as chairman of the
relief committee. composed OF the secre-
taries of state. war, navy and treasury.
sent out instructions to each embassy
and legation to make inquiry as to avail
able ships and if Americans can be con-
centrated at open ports immediately to
charter neutral ships.
The diplomatic officers were told not to
pay, higher rate than those usually
charged by the liners for a similar serv-
ice.
All thought OF sending vessels over from
the United States to bring back the Amer
leans has been abandoned. II IL felt that
the moving of the refugees may be greatly
expedited by the charter Of neutral ves-
sells wherever they arc available.
No Difficulty Expected.
Little is definitely known as to the
number of Americans deslrous OF return

son said today tho diplomatic officers
had been instructed to give preference
to such tourists of small means who
would be Immediately embarrassed finan-
cially should their return be delayed. He
expects no difficulty In Transporting the
refugees TO the seaports.

silent today, but the latest dispatches
by other routes indicated no obstacles
were to be placed in the way of Amer

reported yesterday that two
divisions of German cavalry, with

OF outpost fighting between Bel
CLANS. French and Germans.
The German commander at
Liege denies the loss OF 10000 in
his effort TO take the forts there.
He says they will be taken with
out the loss of a man as soon as
German heavy artillery arrives.
He asserts that "the Belgian force
is numerically superior to ours"
He intimRtes that the assaults
were stopped by the emperor's or
ders to avoid needless sacrifice Of
life.
On the subject of Liege the
French foreign minister declares
all the surrounding forts intact
and that only a small force of
Germans entered the town itself
under cover OF darkness. It had
been pointed out previously that
the defect OF the Liege forts was
the inability to see one fort from

their guns crosses.
A Brussels dispatch snys the
bulk of the German army is leav-
ing Liege and advancing toward
the French frontier through the

below Liege, and this may be the
one mentioned. as It would thus
form an extension of the defen-
sive works thrown up by the Ger
mans after they encountered Bel
CLAN opposition at Liege.
Belgium anticipates an attempt
by Germany to cross Dutch terri
tory and has requested Holland
TO state its Intentions regarding
the resistance to a breach OF Ats
neutrality.

DROWNED IN THE HUM

The bookkeeper for the iron mine at

Of that town, was drowned in the
Humboldt river at that place late
Tuesday night and his body swept
down the stream over two miles be-
fore it was recovered. His name was
II. G. Fisher and he was member of
the Eagle lodge at Salt Lake City. In
company with Bill Warren he left the
offices of the company shortly before
10 clock and instead of walking up
the track to the railroad bridge, at
tempted to cross the swollen river on
a small hand bridge. About twelve
feet from the bank he lost his bal
anee and plunged headfrst into the
water. The river is a full flood, and
at this point the water runs at a
speed of fully ten miles an hour. As
he came up he called to his compan-
ion, Goodbye, Bill; I'm gone,' and
was swept out of sight in the dark
ness. An alarm was given and the
search was kept up all night, but 1T
was noon the next day before the
body was found on sandbar two
miles down the river. He was buried
by the Eagles.-Free Press.

enthusiastic Wheeler in showing this
stringer ore of the real National va

grade, is confident of winning the
high grade shoot for which he has
been digging and driving into Charles
ton mountain. In the language of
Wheeler: 81 can see that high grade
already and the reward it will bring
for our persistence and unalterable
confidence in Charleston hill and its
hidden fortunes of gold and sill

Wheeler work in boring into Charles

CONTROL OF ROCH-
ESTER MINEIN DOUBT

Judge harrington, of the Federal
Court at Carson City, has handed
down a decision in the case of DIR. /.
T. George and Stevens brothers
against Joseph Nenzel awarding to
the plaintiffs 100000 shares in the
Rochester Mines company stock. The
plaintiffs sued for half of Nenzel's
100000 shares of stock in the COM
pany, claiming that they had been de-
prived of their rights in a half in
terest in the property through fraud
and misrepresentation.
The decision leaves the question of
control of the company still in doubt.
OF tn 1,250,000 shares of capital
stock authorized, S31 200 shares have
been issued and Nenzel, it is under
stood, had 100000 shares when the
litigation began. If he loses the 210,-
900 shares he will still have 100000
out Of S31 900 and the 10000 shares
awarded to the plaintiffs must be
combined with other outstanding
stock before Nenzel is outvoted.
The case has been in the Federal
District Court for about eight months
and decision has been eagerly await
ed because it is believed on the de-
clsion will be made possible the for
nation of plans by one faction or
another for the erection of a large
mill in Rochester. Active work for
the building of a mill has been held
back owing to the uncertainty as to
the ownership of the control. In ad-
dition to the suit decided either ap-
plications were made for restraining
orders preventing the voting of
stock in the Rochester Mines CON-
pany by Nenzel until the final de-
termination of his rights.
