Vienna WithhoIds News.
Vienna, via Paris, Sept. 21.-In the
complete absence of satisfactory de.
tails regarding the progress of the
campaign in Galicia, and along the
Servian frontier, the Austrian public
is awaiting some definite news as to
what really is happening.
Ever since it became known that
Russia was making great Roadway in
Galicia, the comment in Vienna news
papers has been guarded, the edito-
rails dealing chiefly with the German
campaign in western Europe. The
presence of 10000 Polish refugees
from Galicia. added to the constant
arrival of trainloads of wounded tends
TO Offset this reticence.
Suppress Unfavorable News.
The police recently issued a decree
warning persons against spreading I'M
favorable war Jews under threats of
the severest penalties. Spies are
found everywhere, in cafes and on the
streets, trying TO overhear private
conversations and then fastening to
the police and d~enouncing suspected
persons. Hundreds Of arrests already
have cen made and many persons
have been placed under more or less
strict police surveillance.
German Losses Total 1876.
Berlin, via London. Sept. 1S.-An Of
fetal casualty list shows 1868 names.
Mention is made of the hard fighting
on the part of German Polish regi,
ments in East Prussia. Three com
! panies of the F~ifty-ninth infantry, sta.
+, toned at Soldau, lost $50 men. The
Forty-seventh infantry, with h~eadquar.
| tiers at Posen, suffered 26S casualties
A majority of both regiments are Pol
ish. The total of the published Ger
man casualties to date are 1916 kill
ed, wounded or missing. The daily
German losses are shown by the cas-
ualty lists to be 5000.
Austrian Losses SOC. 900.
The Times says "a reasonable esti
mate of the Austrian losses thus far il
Galicia is 300, 900 men killed. wounded
or captured-nearly one-third of theil
army. They have also lost a total o
about 1000 pieces of artillery-mort
than two-thirds of all they had. The
broken remnants of the Austrian arm
les are rendered doubly weak by thi,
poverty of field guns.

REPORTED KILLED BY MOB
Refugees Say Mrs. Clara Beck
meyer Was Mistaken for
American in Mexico.

VERA CRUZ, May 2.-That Mrs. Clara
Beckmeyer, a German woman, who. ac-
cording to rumor, was mistaken for an
American. was killed by mob in the
streets Of Mexico City April p, is the
news brought here today by refugees from
the federal capital. No confirmation OF
the incident has been received here.
Under the impression that trains still
were running on the Interoceanic railroad
the refugees went to the station OF ina.
line instead Of to the depot Of the Mexi-
can railway, over which road all other
refugees have left the capital, so that the
news Of the woman's death was not Woe
ly known among Americans, and was
late in reaching Vera Cruz
Mrs. Beckmeyer was a WlooW OF tnree
months She wore at her collar small
six German flag, but the mob regarding
this merely as tiimsy disguise OF ma
t:onality. is said to have dragged her
through the streets and SO maltreateo
her that she died.
Brig. Gen. Funston yesterday sent into
the Mexican lines his first letter. 1t was
addressed to Gen. Gustavo Mas, the
former Mexican commander here. ana
said Gen. Funston was holding forty
eight prisoners in Vera Cruz whom he
was willing to send to Gen. Mas.
No shore liberty is being allowed the
men, and the admiral could dlspatch al
an hours notice a force large enough
to seize and hold every important port
on this coast should the necessity arise.
The transport Monterey has sailed Tor
Galveston with refugees from the Han
cock. .,,
the custonhouse wharf. The arms and
ammunition she brought for the Huerta
government are still on board, but her
other cargo has been landed.
Bull fighting will be barred In vera
Cruz If the suggestion of the native city
council is approved by Civil Gov. Kerr.
1t Is not the intention Of the civil gov
ernment to interfere with the customs OF
the people any more than Is necessary,
and when the aldermen in session last
night proposed depriving their own peo-
pie Of their most popular form of sport
there was much surprise in the governor S
office.
With the arrival here yesterday OF
Rear Admiral Frank E. Beatty's
squadron, consisting of the battleships
Virginia. Nebraska and Georgia Rear
Admiral Badger has fifteen battleshps
in his fleet
Gov. Kerr was told this morning of
Secretary Garrison's decision that the
civil government of Vera Cruz was to be
replaced by a military government under
Gen. Funston, and that consequently all
the civil officers now exercising authority
at Vera Cruz were to be removed. He
said that the business of his office would
be virtually suspended pending the ap-
pointment Of military officials.
At military. headquarters there were
frank expressions OF regret that the mill
tary is TO be numbered with civic duties.
The papers of Vera Cruz this morning
devote much space to statement issued
yesterday by Gov. Tener. outlining his
policy. One paper was particularly
friendly toward Mr.. Kerr and his idea OF
administration.
