Expedition for Protection of
Foreigners in Yaqui Valley
Might Result in Wholesale
Massacre,


Washington June 22.-Admiral
Howard sent by wireless to the navy
department late today signed state
ment presented to him by the Mexi-
can military commandant at Guaymas,
suggesting that Americans leave the
lYaqui valley, but promising to protect
them if they remained or to escort
them if they departed. The com
mandant said landing af American
marines would be likely to cause trou-
Bile all along the coast.
The following official statement
was made public at the navy depart
ment:
Admiral Howard has forwarded to
the navy department the following
statement presented him by General
LeyVa, military commandant Quay
mas, Mexico. on board the Colorado
yesterday.
Whereas, when Americans were in
vited to exploit the Yaqui valley there
existed no revolution and adequate
garrisons were established along va
qui valley and Indians were held in
subsection, but now. taking all phases
into consideration which require un-
usual demands upon the military, it
would appear logical for the few
Americans who have remained in va
qui valley to depart and not place
their lives in jeopardy rather than
plunge two friendly nations into dis
agreement,
However. every guarantee VIII De
given in an endeavor to afford Amer
leans in question ample protection and
if emergencies should require them to
depart an adequate escort will be
furnished them. Fifteen hundred
Mexican troops are now available tor
this protection and General Sosa is
now in the valley to command and ms
officers would understand that a land
ing would be made under only the
most urgent necessity and only for
the protection of American lives, yet
the maeses might misinterpret the ac-
ton and thus cause trouble to Amer
leans all along the coast"

dan, quickly withdrew six army corps
Approximately 250,000 men--and,
with the soldiers already in East Prus-
STA, fell upon samsonoff at Tannen-
burg
AT the same instan the Austrians
attempted to use Napoleonic strategy
on the Galacian frontier. Leaving a
covering force on the Gnila-Lipa river
to hold back the Russian army ad-
vancing from Tarnopol, the bulk OF
the Austrans struck the Russians at
krasnik and threw them back in con-
fusion upon Lublin.
Samsonoff with four corps was far
ahead of Rennenkampf with three
and one-half corps more and was COM
pletely overwhelmed on the twenty
eighth day of August.
Catastrophe Averted.
Samsonoff destroyed, and the army
of Krasnik seriously repulsed the
grand duke took the heroic resolve
which turned an impending catastro-
phe into substantial success. Aban-
doning Samsonoff to his inevitable
fate. he turned all OF his mobilizing
reinforeements under General Pleve
upon Lublin, and at the same time he
ordered Generals Brusiloff and Rous-
ki to drive the Austrians on the Gnila-
Lipa river at all costs.
The battle which followed Is one Of
the most severe In all times. Eleven
times the corps under the Bulgarian
general. Radko Dlmitreff. took the
mountain which was the key to the
Austrian position and eleven times the
Hungarians took it back. The twelfth
time Dimitrieff advanced and the
other corps moving in ecsalon drove
the Austrians in complete rout
General Douski then advanced from
Lemberg-renamed by the Russians to
Lyoff-to Dawa Ruska, in the rear
Of the main Austrian advance, which
held line before Lublln- Kholm while
Brousiloff moved on Gorodok
The Austrians were now in serious
difficulties. Reinforcements were
hurried up to face Brousloff and the
army before Kholm turned to face
Rouski at Rawa Ruska.
Pleve promptly entered the hole left
vacant and took the army of General
Auffenberg in the rear, while Brousi-
loft attacked at Gorodok.
The Austrian army at Gorodok re-
treated over the Carpathians, that at
Lublin retired on Crakow. Auffen
berg, caught between Brousiloff and
Pleve, fell, with most of his army, into
the hands of the Russians.

Washington, June 22.-Denials of
friction in the Carran2a ranks and Of
dissension among the villa leaders
were repeated today by the respee-
tive agencies of the Mexican factions.
United States officials had no re-
ports from their own representatives
hut the belief still prevailed that the
trouble between General Obregon and
Carranza had not been healed and
that the departure of General Felipe
Angeles from the camp of General
villa at this time was an important
military If not political loss.

ment that would have as its nucleus

According to official information,
Carranza refused to take the advice
of General Obregon and accepted the
designations of some of the cabinet
ministers whose retention was insist
ed upon by Obregon. other advices
say that General Pablo Gonzalez. the
Carranza commander, marching
against Mexico City. who was ordered
TO halt until Carranza reorganized
his cabinet has gone ahead and Is
now reported within a few miles Of
the old capital.
Communications Cut Again.
Communication behind him to Vera
Cruz is cut. This development is re-
gurded as ominous in official quar-
tors. The Carranza authorities at Vera
Cruz claim the lines were cut by the
Zapatistas but other Information re-
eeived by the United states govern
nlent indicates that General Gonzalez
cut his own communications behind
him.
Representation have been made
by the United States to the authori-
ties in Mexico City and at Vera Cruz
as well, insisting that the lives and
interests of foreigners must be pro-
tected in connection with any trans
fer of authority in the capital. 1t is
not known yet whether the Villa-Za-
rata troops, said to number 10000
in Mexico City, will offer resistance
to Gonzalez or evacuate peacefully as
has been the case on previous oeca-
