who remarked:
"I am acquainted with it, but have
orders which must execute.
Immediately afterward. Marie Ade'

AUSTRIA SAYS
 SERVIAh NOTE
 NOT SINCERE Foreign Office Explains Why Reply to Demand
 Was Rejected.

Vienna, July 27.-A communication issued by the Austro-Hungarian for- eign office today sets forth fne Aus train view of Servia's reply lO Aus tria's note demanding the cessation of the pan-Servian agitation and the punishment of those concerned in the assassination at Sarayevo of Arch duke Francis Ferdinand and his con- sort. The communication also gives the reasons for Auseria's dissatistac" tion with Servia's reply. It follows.
 "The object of the Servian note IS to create the false impression that the Servian government is prepared in great measure to comply with Cur demands.
 "As matter of fact, however, Ser via's note is filled with rhc spirit of dishonesty which clearly les it be seen that the Servian government is not seriously determined to put an end to the culpable tolerance it hitherto has extended to intrisucs against the Austrio-Hungarian mon archy.
 "The Servian notes contains such far-reaching reservations and limita. tions, not only regarding the general principles of our action, but also ill regard to the individual claims we have put forward, that the concession

DELEGATES- OF

Are Instructed to Demand Complete Amnesty for
 Huertistas.

Mexico City, July 27.-The delegates of President Carbajal left Mexico City over the Mexican railroad at o'clock tonight for Tampico. They will be met at Gonzales Junction by an es- cort furnished by Carranza. Con zales marks the southernmost bound ary of the territory controlled by the constitutionalists.
 Carranza refused to come to the capital or to any point held by the federals for the conference.
 It is understood that Carbajal's del- egates are instructed to demand com plete amnesty for federal officials now in Mexico, civil and military, as the price for the surrender of the capital to the constitutiOnalists.
 There is great speculation here as to the outcome of the conference.

Will Repudiate Loan.

Tampico, July 27.-That General Carranza will stand by the decree he issued early in the revolution regard ing financial transactions made by Hu erta again was indicated here today, when his attention was called to a report that just before resigning and leaving the country Huerta received half a million dollars from the Roths- childs, giving in return grant of a vast area in Lower California at a nominal price of one cent an acre.
 Carranza declared no such grant of public lands would be recognized. and recalled that leading bankers of the world had been so notified.
 It was reported here today that Sir Christopher Craddock, British admir- manded that all concessions made by Huerta to Lord Cowdray and other British citizens be ratified by consti- tutionalists and that Carranza return ed a positive refusal.
 Carranza, is was announced, plans to use thousands of federal soldiers in repairing the railroad tracks that have been destroyed during the revo- lution. As fast as the federal bands are disarmed Carranza plans to dis tribute them throughout the country employment and also to scatter them throughout the country so there will be little danger of their mobilization against him in case of a counter revo- lution.

MIME. CAILLAUX MAY RE FREED
 BY WAR CLOUD That Dead Editor Sold In fluence to Hungary Is
 Closing Charge. GUILTY VERDICT
 IS ANTICIPATED Thought That M. CaiIIaux Has Great. Iy Damaged Wife's Defense by His VituperatiOn of Her
 Bictim.

Paris, July 27-The taking of testl- mony in the murder of Mme. CaillauX charged with the murder of Gaston Calmette, editor of The Figaro, was brought to a close this afternoon amid extraordinary excitement.
 Less than an hour before the last of the evidence was put in, MT. Gail laux, husband of the defendant, eX- premier of France and most popular politician of the republic, himself took the stand and read the will of the man his wife had killed to prove that Calmette and the Figaro had sold the influence of that great news paper to Hungary for consideration in money.
 In view of the fact that Austria Hungary is now on the verge of war with SerI>., in which France is ex- pected to take the part of Servia, and has already ordered the mobilization Of her troops to that end, M. Caillaux statement made :. tremendous impress sion in court.

Funeral Scene Tonight.

Paris, July 27.-The final scene at the great panorama of human pas sions in both fashionable and poli- tical society which France has seen begin a series of speeches that will take place tomorrow night. In the morning M. Chenu, attorney for Le Figaro and the Calmette family, will begin a serie sof speeches that will rank among the first oratCrial ef- forts of the age.
 The speech for the defense will be delivered by Maitre Labori, famous as the defender of Captain Dreyfus Labori will occupy four hours and it is expected that the jury will re- tire about s or g o'clock.
 Has the jury made up it's mind ? That is the question that is on every ones lips tonight, and one which, according to the concensus of opin- ion, must be answered negatively.
 The uncertainty as to this point IS due M. Joseph Caillaux, who through out the trial, has been much more central figure than his wife. Admit tedly, one of the cleYerest politicians in Europe, he has been overthrowr by the testimony of Mme Gueydan, his former wife, the woman he spurned for his present wife. The trial has revealed that he had a complete ascendancy over his sec- ond wife which he was never able tc gain over his first.
 Mime. Gueydan's dramatic produc- ton of the famous letters last Thurs day demolished the original defense and ever since Caillaux has stood with his back to the wall, fighting desperately for his wife's liberty nominally, although in reality he has damaged her case by his violent out. pourings of the man she slew and al his friends.
 All the efforts of Caillaux' own pa thetic story on the jury and his taios of the bitter persecution he under went as minister of finance has been completely mullified by the rancor. ous vituperation he heaped upor Calmette's coffin and by his undis. guised efforts to control the proceed ings of the court.
 The jury cannot do less now, it i; believed, than find Mime. Caillau, guilty of murder under extenuatins circumstances" The sentence in this event will be two years imprison. ment with the benefit of the first Of. lenders act.

Four Are Slain and Sixty Wounded in Sunday Riot
 ing at Dublin.
MOB CLAMORS FOR
 SOLDIERS TO FIGHT
Lord Mayor of Dublin Asks for Troops to Be Withdrawn, While .JGhn Redmond Declares Officer
 Should Re Hanged.

Dublin, July 27.--Fresh rioting broke out here tonight after a day filled with suppressed excitement over the killing of four persons and the wounding of sixty others by the Kings Own Scottish Borderers as a result of the Nationalist gun-running g at Howth.
 The local authorities at midnight were doing their utmost to curb the rioting without calling upon the soldiers quartered here. It is recog- nized that if the troops are again called out and fire or the populace much bloodshed will result.
 The lord mayor of Dublin has made a formal demand on the war office for 2 the withdrawal of the Kings Own Scottish Borderers, representing that their continued presence in Dublin will constitute a constant irritant to the public that will almost inevitably result in fresh clashes.
 \ Sabbath of Violence.
 Day had dawned before the police succeeded in dispersing the crowds marching through the streets and looking for soldiers of the Second bat ialion of the Kings Own Scottish Borderers on whom to inflict ven geance for the fatal events of yes terday. The Borderers were ordered out at that time to prevent the land ing of arms and ammunition for the Irish Nationalist volunteers.
 The crowd attacked the Royal bar racks. where the Borderers are sta tioned, and clamored for the soldiers <to come out. Finally the mob kicked down a gate of the barracks and fired a couple of shots, upon which bugles were sounded, the police came on the scene and the crowd was dispersed The Nationalist leaders take the most serious view of the affair and will de- mand reparation from the govern ment.
 The landing of arms for the Nation alstS was effected in daylight. The Aacht from which the arms and ann cmunition were brought ashore already had landed 2.500 rifles and 12o.0O0 rounds of ammunition at isolated points along the coast. Yesterday at Howth 2,50O rifles and 100000 rounds of ammunition were landed under the eyes Ol lle pOllCc. CdI ried off 1,500 of the rifles and all the ammunition and a body of Nationalist volunteers then started for Dublin with 1000 rifles but no ammunition.
 Everything seemed to be going smoothly until the battalion of Scot tish Borderers came on the scene and demanded that the arms be surren- dered.
 The Nationalist volunteers refused and the soldiers then charged with fixed bayonets, wounded number of the volunteers. While the leaders were parleying, the rank and file of the volunteers scattered and got away with the rifles.
 The news quickly reached Dublin and moh gathered to meet the soldiers on their return. Volleys Of stones were thrown at the troops and twenty of the soldiers were ordered to fire.
 The Nationalist volunteers took no part in the street fight.
