for divorce on the ground of desertton
and the court granted it to him.
A runaway match from Waterbury
two years ago resulted in petition for
divorce when Greta +. Evans sought le-
gal separation from Earl Evans. The
testimony went to show that on April
30, 1913, while they were out riding they
decided to get married, and after sectn-
ing a license they went to st. Adams
and were married. Returning to Water
bury, they lived together for a time and
then, the wife testified, he went away
and she wanted divorce on the ground
Of intolerabe severity, claiming that he
had treated her cruelty. They separated
on Oct 80, 1914. The court took the
case under consideration.
Aurelia n. Mitchell of Montpelier said
the last she saw of her husband, John
T. Mitchell, was wheI he was being

BRYAN REPORTS PROGRESS.
In Negotiations for Payment of Indem
nifty to John McManus' Family.

Washington, d. c., March 27,--Secre'
tary Bryan announced last night that
satisfactory progress was being made by
the United States in its negotiations
with the Zapata-Yilla government for
the payment of an indemnity to the fam
ily of John b. McManus, an American
citizen murdered recently in hexico
City by Zapatista troops.
Further inquiry as to the representa-
tions which had been made by the Y. ).
government concerning the desecrotlon
of the American flag over the McManus
home developed the fact that no specific
request for an apology on account OF the
flag incident had been made. When the
facts we're first reported general de-
mand for reparation and indemnity was
made by the state department. IN the
regret expressed recently by Gen. Pala-
fox, the Zapatista secretary OF foreign
affairs, however, no mention was made
of the flag incident.

BALKAN STATES ALSO
HOLDING UP FOR THAT
Vatican Denies That Francis
Joseph of Austria Has
Sought Papal Intervention
in Behalf of Separate
Peace-Belgians Win in
the Western Area

Rome, March 26, 1o:s5 p. m, via Paris
March 27, $40 a. m.--Eyery measure
possible has been taken by the Italian
government preparatory to the beginning
of hostilities by Italy on the side Of the
allies.
London, March 27, 1908 p, m.-Rus-
sia to-day for the third time holds the
gates to Hungary, and British observers
are virtually united in the expectation
that the Teutonic allies will make su-
preme effort to prevent the forces of En-
peror Nicholas from again pouring upon
the Hungarian plains. Meagre reports
rom Vienna indicate some depression in
Austria on account of the fall of Pre-
mysl but the Vatican denies that this
has resulted in overtures from Francis
Joseph for papal intervention on behalf
of separate peace.
The fall OF PrzemysI has also increased
the possibilities of sudden development
in the near eastern situation, but so far,
Italy and the Balkan states are still
stubbornly sitting on the fence, which
position they are liable to maintain un-
til the Dardanelles fighting has produced
definite results.
The only advance by the allies along
the western front consists in the cap
ture by Belgian forces Of farm north
of st. George. Labor unrest has again
manifested itself in England. In this
connection it is believed the government
soon will take some measure to restrict
drinking
