DEMAND DAMAGE FOR SINKING
 LEELANAW
State Department Prepares Note to Be Sent to Germany Asking Payment Under Terms of PruSSian-AmeriCan Treaty.


 WASHINGTON, July 2S-With the receipt of practically a complete re- port of the torpedoing Of the American steamer Leelanaw by a German sub marine, the State Department officials began preparation of a note to Ger many requesting the payment of dam ages on the ground that the Prussian- American treaty was violated The re- port of Consul Dennison, at Dundee, revealed the fact that the Captain of the Leelanaw attempted to escape but submitted to visit and search after warning shots were fired.
 The right 10 escape, officials declar- ed. is conceded by international law, and only repeated attempts to evade capture or forcible resistance are be- ing regarded as enecting the case. Unofficial reports that the German submarine commander was unwilling to iettison the cargo of the Leelanaw, and allow her to proceed, as the treaty provides. cleared up the doubts here on this point The material necessary for the presentation of the claim is similar to that made in the case of the Wm P. Frye and is therefore pract' ically ready for consideration tonight

Rear Admiral Caperton Lands
 Marines in POrt-au-PrlnCe; United States Will, UndOUbt-

WASHINGTON. July 2S- American marines were landed at Port Au Prince, Haiti 10 protect the lives and of Americans and other for eieners. Rear Admiral Caperton ad- yised the Navy Department late to- night, he had sent a force ashore from the cruiser Washington Rear Admiral Benson, acting Secretary Of the Navy, declined to make the mess age public but said Admiral Caper- ton now has the situation in hand.
 There was no firing at the marines although disorder continued in the city. More marines will be sent if it is deemed necessary when a complete report is received early tomorrow The State Department received messages from Charge d'Anairs Davis telling of the assassination of President GuiL laume by a mob which broke into the French legation and shot the execu- tive The body was dismembered, and the mob paraded the streets with portions of the body on poles Tho United States will now probably see that order is restored and a stable government set up in Haiti.
 It is assumed that the marines established a guard at the French le- gation and other points to protect foreigner Admiral Caperton's force is too small to permit of a general pa trol Of the city. A full regiment would be necessary 10 police the city, it is said With the order to land marines the first step by the United States is to re-establish peace in the Haitien re. public was taken.
 While officials do not indicate the nature of their plans, it is generally believed tonight that the marines will not be withdrawn until some definite arrangements are made which give promise of permanent peace through out the island Caperton had reported by wireless. while enroute from Cape Haitien to Port au Prince. that the situation in the latter place was very grave
 The action of the mob taking the President from the French legation is a violation of diplomatic immunity oi foreign legations enjoy and is regard ed ordinarily as a serious anront but in view of the absence of an estab lished government, and generally tur bulent conditions in the country fl probably will not complcate the sit nation It had its effect, however, iI stimulating the American government which is more deeply interested iI Haiti than in any other countries t' take steps to restore order

Germans Using Very Strong Re- Inducements in Men and Guns Appear to Make Little Head way Against Czar's Troops.
GERMANS REPORT CAPTURE
 OF SMALL RUSS VILLAGE
British Military Critics Have Re- viyed Hopes That Grand Duke May Yet InfIiCt Strategic De- feat on the Invaders.

LONDON. July 2S-Although the Germans are using very strong rein forcements in men and guns, they have not succeeded in breaking the Russian resistance either around War saw or in Kovno and CourtIand prov inces in each of which sectors heavy fighting has been in progress for nearly a fortnight Except for the capture of the Village of Goworowo. on the Narew front, with a number of prisoners and machine guns at that point and between Mitau and Niemen the German official report does not claim any advance
 The Germans again attacked the French in the Vosges and in Artois near Souchez in an effort 10 regain the trenches lost in the last few days. They have been partially successful in both places. The French report small success on The Gallipoli benin sula, and accounts continue to come of the Italian advance along the Isonzo River
 In Che lighting about Warsaw, Gen cral von BuelOw. in the north, and Field Marshal von Hindenburg who crossed the Narew at some points are boiuc held mp by Russian counter-at- tacks which. although probably cost ly to the Russians, show there is still plenty of fight left in them
 In the southeast Field Marshal von Machenseu's attack on the Lubln- Cholm railway seems for a moment to have come to standstill although he. too is receiving endorsements and assistance from the Austrans who succeeded in crossing the Bug at So- kaL
 To the west of Warsaw the Cor mans announce the capture of the vil- lage of Piorunoy which is about ff- teen miles west of the fort line of the city, SO that not much progress was made on this front There is a good deal in the Russian and German ofTi- cial reports which cannot be recon ciled but on the whole British crit ics are more hopeful than for some days that the Russians win succeed in withstanding this effort 10 capture Warsaw, as they did on the previous attempts The stubborn resistance of the Grand Dukes troops, together with the fact that the battle is being fought on grounds of his choosing has remov- ed the hope here that with a sufficient supply of munitions he will be able to inhict a strategic defeat on the Ger mans.

WASHINGTON. July 28.--Harry Will son, of Portland Oregon. recently a clerk in the American consulate at Berlin and now under arrest there, faces charges that are considered ex- tremely serious by State Department officials. Wilson was ostensibly de tained at the Danish border when at tempting to leave Germany without passport The real complaint. ac- cording to a communication forwarded to Washington, is that he aided a Brit. ish subject in obtaining a passport asserting he knew the applicant to be an American citizen.

 If Wilson's ofense is proved as charged, it would constitute treason able act.
