DANGER IN YAQu| SITUATION
MAYTORENA FORCES ARE De.
FEATED BY INDIANS.
Carranza Troops Advancing Against
Villas Men Make Situation Still
More Complicated.

Washington, June 23.-Interest in
Washington is centering upon Admiral
Towards expedition for the relief of
American settlers in Mexico, threat
ened by the Yaqui Indians.
While the entire Mexican situation
is Kaleidoscope, with doubt and I'M
certainty prevailing everywhere, it is
recognized that the danger spot is
where the Yaquis are carrying On their
operations. The attitude of the Consti-
nationalist forces, an attitude which is
regarded as an open warning that they
would regard interference with the
Yaqui Indian situation as actual inter-
vention which they would be COMPEL
ed to resist, makes the situation one
of the utmost uncertainty.
The first reports that have come
through to the effect that the initial
force sent by Governor Maytorena, act
ing for Villa, has been defeated by the
Yaquis, adds to the complexity of the
whole affair. It is understood here
that Admiral Howard has orders Civ
ing him extraordinary discretion, but
that the burden of these instructions
is to see that the Americans are pro-
tected.
Carranza forces are also said to be
advancing against Maytorena's men,
making the situation still more com
plicated. With the uncertainties that
exist, in the event that Admiral How
ard should be compelled to land armed
troops, he might be forced to face a
combination of enemies which would
outnumber his own forces by more
than three times.

U. S. S. ARIZONA is LAUNCHED
Largest Battleship in the World Slides
into the Water at New
York.

New York, June 19.-The largest
battleship in the world, the Arizona,
was launched here at the New York
navy yard III Brooklyn. In the pres
ence of many thousand spectators
pretty seventeen-year-old Esther Rose
of Prescott, AriZ., smashed across the
bow of the mighty ship bottle filled
with the first water that passed over
the spillway of the great Roosevelt ir-
rigation DAM Thus the superdread-
naught was christened with the name
of prohibition state.
Loosed on her ways by hydraulic
trigger, the gayly decorated vessel,
still minus her mighty guns, slid ma
jestically into the waters of the East
River. Twenty-Five thousand pounds
Of grease had been used to ease her
passage. Cheers came from the vast
throng. Those present included Gov
ernor Hunt and fifty prominent citi-
Zens of Arizona, Vice-President Mar
shall, who represented the President,
and Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
The Arizona is great triumph for
Rear Admiral Nathaniel X. Usher,
head of the navy yard, and his subor-
dinates. She was built in fifteen
months, or three months less time
than the privately built Pennsylvania
She will be able to throw from her
dozen fourteen-inch rifles a broadside
of 1890 pounds distance of twenty
miles and make good target practice
at twelve miles. She will displace
31,400 tons light and more than $4,000
tons when fully equipped and manned
On the water line she will measure 600
feet and will have an overall length
Of COS feet. Her beam is ninety-sevep
and half feet and her mean draft
almost Twenty-Five feet.
The Arizona is armored according
to new and entirely American plan

Adyertises Poisoned Bullets,

Washington, June 21.-The cabinet
in a two-hour session discussed the
Mexican situation and the charges of
espionage on official mails between
the United States and Europe. One
subject discussed was the reported
manufacturing of cartridges advertised
by Cleveland concern to contain poi
sonous gases to cause much pain, and
death within four hours. The posi-.
ton taken in such cases is that where
contributory violations of The Hague
convention occur within the United
States it will endeaver to stop them.

KEPT UP BY FRENCH
GREAT DRIVE AGAINST GERMANS

CONTINUES.
TEUT0N POSITION CRITICAL
Berlin Admits That kaiser's Troops
Have Surrendered Section of

French Losses Heavy.

London, June 21.-The great French
drive about Arras and Alsace contin-
ues. Following it's impetuous initial
advance at Souchez and Melville, the
left wing army set about strengthen
ing the positions thus gained, while
the artillery kept up continuous tor
nado of shells and high explosives to
discourage German counter-attacks.
The German batteries, however, re-
piled with fierce bombardment and a
duel of the big guns was precipitated
which almost equalled the fury of the
previous terrific cannonade when the
French batteries alone fired continu-
ously during "a hours an average of
more than 200 shells a inmate.
Position of Germans Critical.
Against the Rhine positions the
French made fresh advance when
they crossed the Fecht in Alsace, and
occupied with their advance guards
the outskirts of Metzeral French gum
ners and riflemen, according to the
French communique, have now brought
under their fire the German commuri-
cations between Metzeral and Nuns
teri, the German base and the posi-
ton of the kaiser's forces at this point
is reported to be extremely critical.
An entire attacking force of British
troops was destroyed by the Germans
north of the La Bassee canal, accord
ing to the Berlin official statement,
which admits that the French on the
sector between Souchez and Ecurie
succeeded in penetrating the advance
German trenches at several points
Teutons Surrender Trenches.
Further admission is made by Berlin
that the Germans surrendered a Sec
ton of trenches to the north of the
Lorette Heights. This sacrifice, ac-
cording to the German report, was in
accordance with their plans.
The Berlin statement adds that the
French losses on this front have been
equal to those suffered by the allies
in the Champagne district, where, ac-
cording to Berlin, the French percent
age of casualties ran exceedingly high.

FIGHTING EAST OF LEMBERG

Cut Off-Teutons Only Nine
Miles From City.

London, June 23.-Rawa Ruska, ac-
cording to Berlin official report, is
the latest Russian position in Galicia
to fall into the hands of the Austro-
Germans, and as the Teutons also are
reported to be fighting east of this
town, the investment of Lemberg must
be so nearly complete that the Rus
slams either must withdraw from the
Galician capital or leave a portion of
their forces there to be besieged.
The German general, Won Macken-
sen, is reported to have seized the
railway connecting Rawa Ruska with
Lemberg, thus cutting off the retreat
northward of the Russians. Accord
ing to the latest news from the Aus
trian headquarters, the Teutonic allies
are now within nine miles of the linn
it's of Lemberg.
Russian Opposition Weak.
Wonder is expressed by German mil
ttary critics over the Austro-German
advance of the last few days. They
had expected the Russians to make a
firm stand along the Grodek line. In
stead, however, Grand Duke Nicholas,
the commander-in-chief of the Rus
slams, not only retired quickly from
this position, but evidently recognizing
his dangerous predicament, also or
dered the withdrawal of the Russian
forces from south Of the Dniester
river.
