London, April 1.-THE fierce fight

though a thaw has set in in the Car
pathians, and the roads have been
turned into mud and districts are inun-

continues. The Russians report that
they have taken further heights in the
mountain ranges and repulsed attacks
in the vicinity of Rostok and also in
the direction of Stry, where the Aus
tro-G Germans were attempting an out
thanking movement. The Austrians
make similar claims and disclose the
fact that the Russians have been at

view of preventing the Austrians from
sending any more reinforcements ito

Washington, April 17.-"That's all

recently appointed Carranza minister
to Japan, and brother of Mrs. Francis
co Madero. widow of the late president
of Mexico last night, when shown a
copy of a statement issued in New
York yesterday by Victoriano Huerta,
former provisional president of MeXi
co. disclaiming responsibility for the
death of Madero.
"Disregarding the question of who
actually shot President Madero, the
fact remains" said Colonel Romero
that General Huerta was in power
and could command the armed forces
of the country. President Madero
was his prisoner and while in his pow.

can attempt to evade responsibility
for his death, is incOnceivable.

RUMORSOF
NAVAL BASE
ARE PR0BED
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT WOULD
ASCERTAIN TO WHAT EXTENT
THE JAPANESE ARE USING MEX
ICAN WATERS.

Washington, April 17.-While disin
clined to credit reports that Japan
had established naval base at Tur'
tie Bay, Lower California, United
States officials Friday instituted an in
vestigation with the idea of learning
exactly what use the belligerent war
ships were making of Mexican terri
torial waters.
Secretary Daniels instructed Rear
Admiral Howard, of the Pacific fleet
to ascertain whether there was any
foundation for the published stories
Secretary Byran has received no in
formation from the American consuls
in Lower California that the japanese
intend to establish a naval base there
Commander Nomura naval attache
Of the Japanese embassy, called in
formally on navy department officials
Friday and assured them that there
was no truth in the reporth that an
attempt was being made to establish
Il permanent naval base. He is un-
derstood to have explained that the
presence of the Japanese war ships
was no truth in the reports that an
cruiser Asama which ran aground here
recently.
There was informal discussion OF
the Turtle Bay situation at Friday
cabinet meeting, but the general ten
dency was to discredit current reports.
Cabinet officers who are in touch with
American. wrecking companies at
tempting to float the Asama, pointed
out that the vessel was fast in the mud
almost to her decks. Navy officers who
have given attention to the subject
say it would not be surprising if the
Asama never was relocated.
The fact that British colliers were
assisting the Japanese warships con
A@nced high officials there could be nc
foundation for the idea that any move
ment was afoot to establish a perma
nent base.
Should it develop that the British
and japanese vessels were actually
using Mexican waters as a temporary
base of supplies, it is considered pos
sible that the attention of the Mexican
authorities may be called to 1t by the
Washington government and the mat
ter also be brought to the attention
of Great Britain and Japan.

THAW MUST
CD BACK To
MAT TTEAWAN
STATE NOT OBLIGED TO RETURN
PRISONER TO NEW HAMPSHIRE
HIS COUNSEL WILL MAKE
ANOTHER FIGHT.

New York, April l6-Harry Ken
dali Thaw was today ordered back
to the state hospital for the criminal
insane at Matteawan by the appellate
division of the New York supreme
court. In an opinion concurred in
by all the justices the court affirmed
the denial by Supreme Court Justice
Page of a motion to return Thaw to
the Jurisdiction OF the state of New
Hampshire, whence he was extra
dited to stand trial for conspiring to
escape from Matteawan, and ruled
that the original order committing
him to the institution was still valid.
Plans are now being formulated to
take the case to the state court Of
appeals.
A decision adverse to Thaw came
as great surprise to his counsel.
Subject to No Promise.
The court held that in returning
voluntarily to this jurisdiction Thaw
was subject to no promise or induce
ment, and that New Hampshire had
only done the duty expected of it
when it. returned him to New York
to answer for a CRIME for which he
had been indicted.
The order carried with it the pro
vision that Thaw could not be taken
from New York county until five days
had elapsed
The writ of habeas corpus sworn
out in Thaw's behalf after he was
acquitted of the charge of conspiracy
was finally returnable on Monday.
At that time counsel Will present
arguments urging that their client
be granted permission to have jury
determine his present mental condi-
ton
Should a decision unfavorabe to
Thaw be forthcoming by Wednesday
the state will have the right to re-
turn him 10 Matteawan forthwith,
providing his counsel shall not have
obtained a stay of execution on the
order committing him to Matteawan,
pending appeal.
Thaw himself refused tonight to
comment upon the action of the court.
A troublesome Guest"
The opinion of the appellate divis-
ion concluded as follows:
1T may be that the state would be
well rid of so troublesome a guest,
and that, in view of his acquittal,
it is to be regretted that, having
once left, he was brought back, but
that is not matter for judicial con-
sideration. Certainly, if we were to
release him from the restraining eff
feet of the commitment, we have no
power to compel his deportation, but
must release him Internationally,
leaving it to him 10 determine wheth'
er he will go or stay"
