"On Saturday the Hamburg Ameri-

the Ypiranga discharged at Puerto
Mexico 1900 kilos, the equivalent
Of 1900, 900 rounds Of ammunition,

arrived at Vera Cruz Captain Stickey
of the navy acting as captain of the
port, demanded the manifest. The
captain of the vessel declared that
the federal authorities at Puerto
Mexico had taken them away, but
when ross-examined he finally ad-

Bavaria is now being held under
surveillance of the army and navy,

Captain Stickey is undecided as to
whether he shall permit the Bavaria
to proceed to Tampico en- route to
Europe as advertised. He declares
the shipment unloaded at Puerto
Mexico was consigned to the Mexican
military commander at Vera Cruz by
a German firm.
The gunboats Paducah and Salem
are now guarding the Ypiranga, at
Puerto Mexico, to prevent repetition
Of the Bavaria incident. Captain
Stickney declares he knows the
Ypiranga still has on board the cargo
Of arms and ammunition which was
prevented from landing here. Another
inspection will be made here when

 NAVAL ACTIVITIES
Mysterious Naval Battle.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 7.-The stranding of the British cruiser War ror, reported today to the German embassy in a wire. .ess message from Berlin tonight remained a mystery. The message read:
 British cruiser Warrior stranded probably as a result of fight with cruiser Goeben while escaping from the Bosphorus."
 The Goeben is a German vessei which. with the Breslau, escaped from British waters at the time war began and sought refuge in the Dardanelles. Later the ships were said to have been sold to the Turkish government.
 Diplomats were at a loss to ex- plain the Berlin message. They be lieved it impossible that the Warrior could have been attempting to escape from the Bosphorus as Turkey has mined the straits and the ship would not have entered. Had the Goebeu been allowed to go out and engage the Warrior, it was said. it would be a direct violation of neutrality by the Turkish government if the ship still flies the German flag, and virtually a declaration of war on the allies. If the Goeben is under the Turkish flag. it would have been an act of war.
 No indication that Turkey had de- clared war was received from other sources A message from Constant inople today to A. Rustem Bey Turk. ish ambassador, contained no mention of the Warrior and the ambassador said it conclusively proved that no declaration of war had been made though he did not give out the text
 Great Britain has been expecting 8 declaration of war from Turkey, it is said. for many days. The embassy here. however, had no official informa tion as to the Warrior.

New Allied Army Arrives.

London, Sept. 7.-S:45 D. m.-The news contained in the French official communication that the Germans had fallen back before the vigorous ad- vance by the allied troops on the line from Nanteuile-Haudouin to Verdun indicates that the Anglo-F'rench forces have got on the flank of the German right wing which passed by Paris north and was marching east ward to join with the crown princes army coming south.
 It has been suggested by military experts that General Von klucks movement to the southeast was taken as a matter of precautiOn before the movement by the allies from the coast. It is possible this new army has reached Nanteuille-Haudouin, thus getting on General Von Kluck's flank. The engagement took place Sunday and that evening the Ger mans began their retirement.
The Sentinel=record., 1914-09-08

The Evening News dispatch says;
 "A telegram has been received from General Pau announcing a victory by the allied forces under Field Marshal Sir John French, commanding the British, and General D'Amade at Precy Sur Disc, about 25 miles north of Paris
 The allies were down across the northern line with the center at Precy The English troops were on the left and the French on the right. The former had in front of them the Imperial guard under Crown Prince Frederick William.
 "On both wings, it is reported, the allies were successful. The German left was held by the French and re- tired to the north.
 The Imperial guard, who were or dared to surrender, were annihilated by the British. It is reported that the crown prince was in their midst
 The British official bureau has re- ceived no confirmation of this mes sage.
