CARBAJAL QUITS PRESIDENCY
Mexico's Provisional Head Appoints

Declared Unsatisfactory.

Mexico City, Aug. provisional
President Carbajal relinquished the
authority of the government to Gov

pose is to prevent further bIoodshed
but conveys the warning that the con-
stitutionalists have refused guaran-
tees of life and property.
Secretary of War Velasco is CO.
operating with Iturbide. A manifesto
now on the streets says the army
will resist and not evacuate until
given assurances of peaceful occupa-

both native and foreign elements over
the outcome.

state department from Ambasssdo.
Page at London.
The ambassador cabIed that staor
ers sailing on Saturday for the United
States carried 5000 Americans bu,
that since the treasure cruisers startoS
across the Atlantic and banks began
advancing cash on demand, many II
those who at first besieged the ON
bassy with appeals for transportatioD
express willingness to remain inde6
nitely.
Secretary Garrison estimated tonigb,
that the number of Americans strand.
ed in Europe who really desire to re-
turn home has dropped to 10000. Mr.
Garrison now doubts whether it will
be necessary to send any vessels 10
bring these people TO the United
States, as commercial lines appear to
be able to take care of them all.
One or two ships, he thinks, may be
sent to some ports where Americans
have congregated beyond the reach Of
neutral commercial vessels, but for
the most part the acute phase is be-
lieved to have passed without any real
danger to citizens of this country
Encouraging reports came Monday
night from Italy. Mediterranean
steamers were said to be preparing
to resume traffic and Americans who
desire transportation were assured Of
accommodations within few days
One vessel is scheduled to sail from
Barcelona and another is expected to
leave Genoa about August 25. Advices
from Germany said there had been
general improvement in the condition
of Americans in that country.
Secretary Bryan announced that the
department had been notified that the
large permanent American colony in
Berlin could care for those without
support. Representations have been
made to the German foreign Office, he
said, in regard to special cases where
Americans have been detained on sus
picion.
Another source of anxiety has been
relieved by a deposit of gold in New
York to cover letters of credit held by
marooned tourists in Switzerland.
Among the contributions Monday to
the American Red Cross, in response
to it's appeal for funds to be used in
European relief work, we're checks for
$4,000 each from Mrs. Redfield Proctor
widow of the late Senator Proctor Of
Vermont, and her daughter, Miss Emf
ly D. Proctor.

FRANCE AND AUSTRIA
BREAK OFF RELATIONS
AMBASSADORS OF TWO coUN-
TRIES ARE GIVEN PASSPORTS
Declaration of War fastened by Mo-
biIization of Austrian Troops
on Swiss Border.

Paris, Aug 10.-France and Austria
finally are officially at war, the ambas-
sailors having left the respective cap
itals. The French government broke
off diplomatic relations with Austria
on the grounds that Austrian troops
were reinforcing the Germans.
The declaration of war had been ex-
pected for the last three days, but
France was determined that she would
not act until something definite had
taken place on which declaration
could be based. This was in order to
prevent Italy being forced into the
conflict as an ally of Austria.
France Feared Attack.
When the announcement was re-
ceived that Austrian troops, under the
grand duke of Tuscany, had crossed
Lake Constance and were at Basel, on
the Swiss border, prepared to attack
the French forces operating in Alsace,
peremptory demand that Austria de-
clare her position was made The Aus
trian ambassador was sent for and
was given until Monday night to get
a definition of the Austrian position.
This was not done, so the foreign Of
flee handed the ambassador his pass
ports and war was Immediately de-
clared
At the same instant the French am
bassador at Vienna applied to his Aus
trian foreign office for his passports
They were Immediately handed him
and he left for the frontier at once.
Initiative Taken BY France.
There was much speculation here
Monday night over the effect this dec
laration will have on Italy's position.
Under the terms of her treaty with
Austria and Germany, she is bound to
come to their aid when they are at
tackled. However, in the case of Eng
land and Germany, where there was a
dual declaration, the Italian govern
ment took the position that England
was not the aggressor.
In the present instance France act
ed, taking the initiative, but only after
she had raised the point that her from
tier was attacked by Austrian troops.
Should Italy accept this position she
can continue her plan of neutrality
and refuse to be drawn into the war.
Joins With Germany.
