A copy OF this report will be for
warded to the state department a,

The Airman's Attack

deck, quickly bea, a retrea, TO the

explosion Of the bomb which did
strike the Cushing
The attack occurred while the
cushing was about 25 miles from
Antwerp and eigh, miles from the
North Hinder lightship. II was near

sun had barely touched the horizon
and there was ample light for the Of

days LATER.
When the airship was first noted by
the lockout, il was several thousand
feet in the air and was coming ap-
parently from the coast Of England.
Suddenly the biplane swooped down
until il was only 800 or 400 feet
above the Gushing.
Narrowly Miss Vessel
A second later there was a tremen-
dous explosion and a solid wave of
water flooded the stern deck. The
crew fed for the nearest hatchways
and dived down just as second

just grazed the starboard rail and shot
into the sea.
When the biplane dropped down 50

was flying a white flag with black
cross in the center. the admitted PEN
ant Of the German air feet. This
fact, together with the circumstances
that the biplane made of in the di-

ing evidence that the airship was

RUSSIANS SENDING IN TROOPS
T0MEET THE TEUT0N INVADERS

Petrograd. May 70. 1890 P. M,-via
London. 6 P. Mitigating IS proceed
ing continuously along a 200-mile bat
tie front in Gahc.a, from the mouth
of the San river 10 kolomea- The
Russians are sending in troops as
rapidly as possible TO meet the ten
German and twenty-four Austrian
CORPS tabout 100000 mem said TO
be operating on this front.
In Three Sections
Operations along the San may be
considered as in three sections, the
first. from Przemysl south to the Car
pathian foothills; the second from
Przemysl north to the mouth of the
Wisloja and the third from the Wis
lola TO Sandomir, in Russian Poland.
81 miles southeast Of Radon.
In the first section the German ad-
vance has not developed beyond the
stage Of patrols and scouting parties.
In the second section there are large
opposing forces, which are prevented
from engaging in hand TO hand en-
counter by the wide sweep Of the
San, over which sharp artillery duels
are occurring. The heaviest German
forces evidently have been concentra-
ted in the third section in an attempt
to reach the right bank Of the San.
Such a move. Russian critics consider
extremely hazardous.

OVER TO BRITISH
portland Press. May 80

Before the steamship Fremona
sailed with her cargo Of sco horses
for the allies it was learned that on
her last trip from this port an at
tempt was made to poison the animals
taken out at that time.
Two Of the horses were given arsenic
and died in great agony, and suspect
ing that somebody aboard was plan
ming to kill the whole lot. the off,
GERS of the vessel and these in charge
Of the horses began an investigation.
Following up every possible clue
and keeping close watch Of the peo-
pie who were going to the other side.
their suspicious gradually conferred on
one man. and when it was felt that
the proper time had arrived he was
seized and searched.
Having not the slightest intimation
that anyone believed that he was con-
nected with the poisoning Of the horses,
he had taken no precautions to secrete
the poison, and it was found that he
had in his possession enough arsenic
to kill every one of the horses on the
steamer.
The man gave the name of Baum,
according to the story told by Mr.
Robinson, the foreman in charge of
the horses. and he was kept in confine-
ment until the other side Of the At
lantic was reached, when he was
turned over to the British authorities.
It IS needless to say that on this
last trip Of the F'remona every pre-
caution was taken that no suspicious
looking persons went on obard.

ASK u. S. TO CARE
FOR ITALY AND
AUSTRIA OFFICES

Washington, May 19.-Both Austria
and Italy have asked the United States
to care for their diplomatic interests in
Rome and Vienna respectively in the
event Of q severance of diplomatic re-
lations. The Washington government
has instructed its embassies at the
two capitals to be in readiness to do
SO.
1t is regarded here as assured that if
Italy and Austria declare a state of
war. it will be extended also as be-
tween Italy and Germany and Turkey.
In that event, the Rome government
wishes the American ambassadors at
Berlin and Constantinople to take over
its diplomatic interests. AS yet there
has been no request from Germany to
have the United States act for it in
Rome. Germany is reported to have
asked Switzerland to take her inter-
eSts.
Secretary Bryan refused to discuss
the addition of the Italian and Aus
trian interests to those cared for hy
American embassies in Vienna and
Rome, saying such inquiries pre-sup-
posing war would be improper for him
to answer.
Nevertheless it is known that the
American embassies abroad have been
instructed to employ such additional
clerical help as may be necessary and
to prepare for the extra work.
Information received recently here
has tended to indicate Italys entrance
into the European conflict and the
opening OF Parliament is expected to
develop clearly Italy's interests in the
war.
