TAKE ALPINE PEAK
Surprise Austrians by Onslaught Above
cIouds-capture Food Supplies
and Guns.

Verona. via Paris. July 13.-The TAX
ing by storm of the Dolomite peak of
Mont Tofano by the Alpine troops Is
considered in army circles to illustrate
the preference of using these troops
for the seemingly impossible task Of
climbing precipices to the longer proc.
ess of attacking through narrow val
leys and defiles. every rod of which is
defended with Notifications.
On Mont Tofano the Austrians were
encamped on the opposite slops of the
mountain to that which the Alpinists
assembled. They are said to have been
so surprised at the onslaught from the
clouds above that they offered little
resistance and fled, leaving in the
hands of the Alpinists food supplies,
machine guns, rifles and ammunition
and in addition number Of prisoners.

ATLANTIC LINER REACHES HALL.
FAX AFTER FIGHTING FLAMES
TWO DAYS AND NIGHTS.
BELIEVE HOLT RESPONSIBLE
Officers Of Steamer Feel Certain That
Man, Who Predicted Some Vessel
Would Be Destroyed July Z,
Placed Explosive Aboard.

Halifax, July IL. - A bomb placed
aboard the Atlantic transport liner
Minnehaha. probably while she lay at
her pier In New York, caused the ex.
plosion and fire at sea. in the opinion
of the officers of the steamer which
has put In here for examination.
The explosion occurred in No. hold
and was of terrific force, shaking the
vessel from stem to stern. Those of
the crew who were forward at the
time were fairly stunned by the shock,
and two sailors were hurled bodily into
the air. Flames followed quickly and
for two days and two nights the crew
battled heroically to save the ship.
Put Blame on Holt.
There is no doubt in the minds of
the officers that Erich Muenter, alias
Frank Holt, or confederates, we're re.
sponsible for the explosion which oc-
CURED at 4:15 o'clock on the afternoon
of July Z. the date upon which Muen-
ter predicted that some vessel, of the
name of which he appeared uncertain,
would be destroyed.
Muenter's plans were frustrated by
the fact that his weapon of destruc.
ton was placed with miscellaneous
freight forward. and so was separated
by stout bulkheads. from an enormous
cargo of ammunition. which, with
other infiammable munitions of war
intended for the allies, filled the after
holds.
Sailors Fight Fire.
While the sailors fought the fire,
Captain Claret headed his ship for
Halifax and brought her safely through
gale and fog to an anchorage in
the lower harbor here at ! O'Clock
in the afternoon. BY that time the
flames had eaten their way into No. 4
hold. but late in the afternoon it was
announced they had been extinguished
The theory of spontaneous combus.
tion was never entertained, as the ex.
plosion was followed by the assurances
from the matches of suffocating fumes,
which seriously hampered the crew in
their fight and which the officers in.
sisted lad been let loose by some In.
fernal instrument.
Thrilling stories we're told by the
100 men who made up the crew of the
freighter.

Washington, July 13.-''It looks like
Carranza," was the general verdict
of the Mexican situation.
Information concerning conditions
in Mexico City was not as definite as
the government would have liked. It
was accepted as fact that the Carran-
zistas had occupied the capital. That
there would have been rumors Of it, IL
foreigners had suffered, was believed
also. Official news was lacking, how
ever. The state department looked for
consular advices soon.
Carranzistas in Washington said
General De Lara, who it was stated
had been dispatched from Vera Cruz
to assume the governorship Of the Fed
Grad district, was an efficient, vigorous
administrator and might be relied on
to keep or restore order. feed the peo-
pie and protect foreign lives and prop
erty.

city was a matter Of no particular
strategic Importance and even II the
Carranza forces had taken it they
would find it hard to hold-as witness
its capture by Zapata from General
Obregon once before.
American military experts agreed on
these two points-the city's strategic
unimportance and the difficulty of de-
tending It. i
Despite the conflicting reports. it has
been the growing belief here for some
time that Villa is in bad way. Aside
from the Reorganization believed to
exist in his ranks. from a military
standpoint, there have been accumulat-
ing evidence that he lacks funds.
II Carranza now takes steps toward
restoration of Federal government.
1t is the consensus Of opinion that the
Washington administration will recog-
niZe him.
A speedy start on shipment of food
supplies from Vera Cruz to the capital
is looked for.
