BRITISH BLOCKADE
ORDER IS ISSUED
No Merchant Vessel Sailing
After March I Will Be Allow
ed to Proceed to German
Port, EdiCt Says.

LONDON. March 15.-The long ex-
pected official proclamation declaring
blockade of Germany was issued to-
day.
No merchant vessel which sailed
from ports of departure after March
l, says the proclamation will be al
lowed TO proceed to any German port.
Unless it receives a pass enabling her
to proceed TO n neutral or allied port
named in the proclamation the goods
aboard such q vessel must be diScharg-
ed at a British port and placed in the
custody of the prize court. No mer-
chant vessel which sailed from a Ger
man port after March l will be al
lowed TO proceed on her voyage with
goods laden in such ports. All such
goods must be discharged at a British
or allied port
In order TO not prevent a relaxation
Of its provision with respect TO mer-
chant vessels, any country which de-
clares no commerce is intended with or
originating in Germany or belonging
TO German subjects may-enjOy the pro
lection of it's flag.
The proclamation was issued as an
order in council" 1t is an amplifica-
ton of the statement of Premier AS
quith before parliament on March 1.
Every merchant vessel which sailed
port carrying goods of enemy destina-
tion or property may be required to
discharge these goods at a British or
allied port. Merchant vessels which
sail from other than a German port
having goods of enemy origin or
property may be required to dis
charge her goods at a British or al
lied port.
AS to the legal aspect under the
proclamation the decree says
ANY merchant vessel which clear
ed for a neutral port from a British
or allied port of which has been al
lowed pass having a neutral port for
its ostensible destination. and then
proceeds to an enemy port shall, if
captured on a subsequent voyage. be
liable TO condemnation.
Nothing in this order can be deem
ed to effect the liability of any vessel
or cargo captured or condemned

READY FOR
A NEW OFFENSIVE
Car Nicholas Returns from
Finland and Leaves for
Western Front.

PETROGRAD March 15.-Emper-
or Nicholas returned from Finland
last night and left for the western
front today. While the czar was
speeding to the army headquarters in
Poland reports were in circulation in
official circles that he is now COM
pletely satisfied with the recent con-
duct of military affairs and that he
intends TO get first hand information
as TO the actual situation
Another report is to the effect that
the Russians are ready for a new Of
fensive movement on an extensive
scale and that it will be launched i'm
mediately on the emperor's arrival at
the front He is expected to visit all
the battle areas in Poland. COinci-
dent with the enemy's departure 1t
was officially announced that the Ger
mans are sending heavy reinforce
ments in the province of Suwalki. An
other great battle is imminent west
of the Niemen river as a result.
Gen Hindenberg's best troops have
apparently moved into Suwalli pro-
vince where Gen. EichhOrn's army
continues to suffer under the vigorous
raids of the Russian cavalry" says
the Army Messenger. 'Eichhorn's
rear guard lettering itself among the
small lakes around SimnO,' fighting
stubbornly until the arrival of rein
fOrcements.
This Will necessitate the moving of
a greater volume of Russian troops
from the Niemen. i big German army
of inferior quality is behind the lines
stretching across the OrLyc river near
ChoTzels. The Russian force facing
this horde consists mainly of the
tenth Russian army, which the Ger
man general staff decided to have been
wiped out a month ago.
1T is believed the German armies
spread across the Bobr river To the
north. The Germans attempts against
our positions along the Narew river
resulted in a remarkable fiaSco. At
dawn on Friday their foremost division
entrenched on both side of the Orzyc,
became panic-stricken without any
attack from the Russians and fled
northward, leaving a great supply of
rifles and ammunition in the trenches.
Many OF the prisoners taken there Suf-
fered from their wounds or disease,
and were faint from weakness caused
by lack of food where I'm northern

SLAMS to cucumber themselves"

the gunboat ZargOsa which had been
sent to Progresso to blockade that
port, has returned to Vera Cruz.
These dispatches came as a great
relief to the Washington administTa-
ton as it was learned today from a
high administration authority that the
United States was prepared 10 take
drastic action TO keep open the port
of PrOgressO, despite CarranZa'S S de-
cree declaring it closed.
Ii was stated that government
was ready to issue orders to the gun

FORTY KILLED BY AN
EXPLOSION OF BUTTER.

NEW YORK, March 15.-FOrty
men were killed outright by the eXplO-
sion of a barrel of butter being load
ed aboard the Mexican gunbOat Pro-
gressO on Feb. q in the harbOr Of
PrOgresso, Mexico, according to infOr-
nation by j. Ryan of the Ward steam
ship line, who arrived here today on
the steamer Esperanza.
Ryan said that the state Of Yucatan
has declared it's independence and has
10000 armed men in the field TO de-
fend il against the parent govern
ment.
With Ryan were members of the
crew Of the Ward line tug AuXilia
which Ryan formerly commanded.
The explosion of the butter barrel oc-
Cured when the Auxilia reached Pro-
gresso. The crew of the gunboat, who
were Carranzaistas, asked the tug for
supplies. The Yucatan authorities
warned the Auxilia to leave the har-
Dor, but Ryan refused and gave the
gunboat a quantity of food.
The explosion wrecked the gunbOat
and the Auxilia took off her crew of
$50 men. These were transferred to
the Ward liner MORO Castle. The
Yucatan officials then cOmmandeered
the Auxilia and made Ryan take them
to the Moro Castle, where they de-
manded protection of the CarranZa-
istas The captain of the Moro Castle
replied by putting TO sea.

Passes Bill with Little Opposition
Providing for Economic and
Military Defense

ROME. March 15.-Italy is now
completely prepared for war While
there is no intimation that this coun-
try Will step aside from her policy Of
strict neutrality. the last step in the
campaign of preparation was taken
last night when the chamber Of depu-
ties. almost without a dissenting vote,
passed "A bill providing for economic
and military defense. It goes into ef-
feet today.
The feature Of the debate upon the
measure was the speech Of SignOr
Orlando, minister OF justice. who re-
piled TO criticism o a socialist mem
Der who maintained that the law op-
posed the liberty OF the people
Between liberty and safety the ma
tion would not hesitate, but would
choose the latter declared the min
lister Of justice. This statement was
received with loud cheers. many OF
the members standing up on chairs
during the demonstration.
Pessimistic rumors concerning the
Austro-Ita situation are again
current. II is reported that mail train
service between BOlogne and Vienna
viii be abandoned and that postal
money order service viii be sup
pressed also.
While there were reports in diplO-
matte circles that the representations
of Prince Won BuelOw had been re-
jected. in vatican circles il was said
that the negotiations were going for
ward in satisfactory manner.
Police prohibitions OF all demonstra-
tions on Sunday failed to have the de-
sired effect a number Of republicans
paraded through the streets calling
"Hurrah FOR Trieste" They refused
to disperse when ordered To do SO.
and were charged by the police.
