to fight rear guard actions so that
the main armies may make good their

These real guard actions have devel

Russians, whose steadiness has been
phenomenal in the face of defeat. are
offering stubborn resistance, and deliv'
ering powerful counter-attacks. They
have prevented Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg from throwing mort of his
troops across the Narew, repulsed
German attacks northwest of Warsaw
and driven back to the river some Of
the invading troops who crossed the

to information here. The raiders, af-
ter the fight on August 8 with cavalry

CURE was killed and Privates Curtis
and Clapsaddle wounded, and in which
the Mexican dead has been ~variously
placed at from u to is, were reported
entrenched IN the brushy country
IS miles north of here, but when the
place was rushed the United States
troops found only six saddled horses
and one extra saddle. Only two Mex
leans are now believed to have been
killed, while two have been captured.
The captured bandits refuse to talk.
The exact casualties among the raid
ers, however, still is in doubt, owing
to the isolated situation of the coun-
try.
Martial law practically is in force in
the region of fighting. and every farm
and ranch in the community is pre-
pared to resist further raids. while
posses and cavalrymen continue scour
ing the country in search of members
of the gang, which apparently has
taken TO the brush afoot.
County Judge H. l.. Yates has ap-
pealed TO the war department for l.
600 to 1900 troops to patrol the lower
Rio Grande valley in this vicinity, but
no reply has been received early this
evening. He also asked Gov. James
f. Furguson of Texas for assistance,
the governor replying he would do ev-
erything in his power to secure addi-
tional troops.

three companies of state troops are
guarding the plant against the attacks
Of strikers, who have been rioting since
July 81, following the walkout of 1000
men.
Two men have been killed and a half
dozen injured seriously. Automobiles
have been held up and their occupants
beaten, and innocent ~bystanders have
been the target of volleys of bricks
hurled by the Infatuated mob in its
desperate resistance to Sheriff Day,
his deputies and the soldiers sent here
by Gov. Whitman when it was seen
that the county authorities could not
handle the situation.
Cold steel and firing by the state
troops have awed the strikers, and on
August 2 the backbone of the strike
is broken, the only hostility occurring
being an exchange of shots between
rival factions of the men in the woods
north of the plant shortly before day
break with the seizure of a freight
train. That the situation has not as
sumed more serious proportions is due
to the prompt arrival of the militia.
Tents are pitched on the laws about
the works and the bridge over the
power canal commanding the approach
to the plant is guarded by soldiers
with loaded rifles and fixed %bayonets.
Sixteen Of the ringleaders who at,
tempted to leave town August 2 were
arrested by deputy sheriffs and troops
at the railroad station, arraigned be
fore Judge Chase and committed to
Jail without bail on a charge of riot
ing. Other arrests are expected.

TWO U. S. SAILORS KILLED
Shipping at American Landing Party
Around Port-au-Prince, Haiti,
Continues.-Oisarm Natives.

Neutrality-suspicious. killed two
American sailors in Port-au-Prince,
Haiti, on the night of July 20, and
Rear Admiral William B. Caperton
thereupon decided to assume military
control of the government of the Hal
tie9 capital in precisely the same fash
ion as the American forces took over
the government of Vera Cruz.
Five hundred additional marines
left Philadelphia on the battleship
Connecticut July 80, giving Admiral
Caperton a total land force of 700 ma
rines, with reinforcements from the
jackies of 700 more men If necessary.
Every Haitien within reach Is being
disarmed by the American forces and
the occupancy of the city seems now
to be of as permanent a character in
every way as was that of Vera Cruz.
The two American sailors were
killed during a raid conducted at 8
o'clock on the night of the 29th. The
Haitien raiders came upon the Amer
lean forces from the outskirts of the
town. Rear Admiral Caperton got
wind of the intended attack at s
o'clock in the afternoon, and deployed
his men about the town. The Hal
tien fire was vigorously answered and
soon ended, but not before the two
sailors had been killed.
The sailors are William Gompers,
seaman; next of kin, Mrs. Sophie Com
pers, 107 Stockton Street, Brooklyn,
n. Y. Cason S. Whitehurst, ordinary
seaman: next Of kin, Cason NJ. White
hurst, COS Clay Avenue. Norfolk, Va.
1t is believed here that the Haitiens
will probably continue their sniping,
as they did at Vera Cruz, but it is e
pected that Rear Admiral Caperton
will easily be able to discourage them
in this practice in a few days by drop

walls from the big guns of the Wash.

CONFERENCE ON MEXICO
Other American States viii Join With
United States in Soiution.-Use
Force II Necessary.

Washington.-The United States has
decided to ask the cooperation of
South and Central America in the next
step to restore peace in Mexico. The
AMBASSADORS from Argentina. Brazil
and Chile, and ministers from Bolivia,
Uruguay and Guatemala have been
asked to confer with Secretary Lam
sing.
While the state department charac-
terized the coming conference as an
informal one, the sentiment has been
growing among American officials that
the next step in the Mexican situation
should be one that would meet the
approval Of the world and should be
taken in concert with the nations Of
Central and South America, even If in
the last event the trend should be to-
ward military action.
The three ambassadors were media
tors in the Niagara conference in the
summer Of 1914. The three ministers
are, from point Of seniority, at the
head of the Central American legation
corps.
Action in regard with the Central
and South Americans would be in line
with President Wilson's plan for a
closer relationship between the United
States and those countries and is
planned to show that the United States
considers the Mexican question the
common cause of the Pan-American
groups and that this government enter
tains no idea of territorial aggression,
but is acting solely al Mexico's neal
est powerful friend and neighbor.
Those in closest touch with the
Mexican question have been aware for
some time that the views of the Pan
Americans we're being taken into con-
sideration in the Mexican question and
have seen in the presidents utter
ances evidences of that effect.
Some of the closest observers Of the
Mexican situation as long ago as last
March professed to see the presidents
plan for Pan-American cooperation
when he delivered an address on the
Argentine battleship Moreno.

Q cloudburst shortly after 6 o'clock on
the evening of August 3 which inun-

The heavy precipitation caused
dams south of the city to burst, letting
out a flood of water that filed he
main business streets to a depth OF
five feet, and in some sections reached
to the second story windows of dwell

out of commission was the Erie County
Electric Company, which supplied the
city with light. Then the Erie Dis

paper was abandoned until midnight,

1t was impossible on August g to as
certain how many actually lost their
lives. Many are still imprisoned in
houses, and the ~rescuers, led by Mayor
Stern and members OF the city council,
have been unable to get them out.
The entire eastern section of the city
is cut of by the water and what con
ditions prevailed in the center of this
district cannot be coniectured.
Among the missing are Assistant
Fire Chief James Buernon and four
fremen. Reports were made to the
police that a house hoated down Mill
creek with two women and four chill
dren clinging TO it. Firemen tried to
rescue them but lost their lives in the
attempt.
Every store in State street, the main
business street of the city, is flooded
and at least fifty houses are reported
washed away.
