ATLANTIC FLEET MOVEMENTS
To Leave Guantanamo About April
for Hampton Roads
BY Associated Press.

Washington, March S0.-The Allan.
tic feet, Admiral Fletcher has reported
to Secretary Daniels, is preparing to
leave the Guantanamo drill grounds
and start for Hampton Roads about
April l.
Details of the review at New York
in May or June after maneuvers in
Narragansett bay will not be settled
until Secretary Daniels has conferred
with Admiral Fletcher but the Secre.
tary announced that President Wilson
hopes to attend. If that plan is fol
lowed, the fleet will go TO Newport, R.
l.. after target practice off Hampton
Roads next month.
Secretary Daniels said to-day that a
fitting close of the review would be
the departure of the feet for the Pan
ANA Pacific Exposition through the
Panama Canal. The present plan is to
take at least three divisions of the bat
tleship feet to San Franciso and it is
not unlikely that the cruisers, destroy
ers and other craft will have a place
in the great naval procession, which,
headed by the old battleship Oregon,
will pass through the canal early in
July, the fourth, if possible.

END OF STRIKE NOT IN SIGHT
One Year Ago To-day i5,3O1 Ohio
Miners Quit Their Jobs
By Associated Press.

st. Clairsville, Ohio, Marcn 30.-
One year ago to-day 1891 miners in
the East Ohio coal field left the mines
because the operators would not pay
them Al cents a ton for coal on the run
of mine basis. Very little work has
been done in the district since that
time and leaders of the men said to-
day that the end of the strike is not
yet in sight. Federal conciliators sought
basis on which the strike could be
settled but without success and the mat
ter was taken to President Wilson, but
to the present with apparently no more
cheering result.
Therehas been some destitution among
the miners and their families, although
it was stated to-day that they had re-
ceived approximately $1,50O,000 in
strike benefits, while donations of cloth
ing and food from sympathizers in vari-
Gus parts of the country have been gen,
erous. There has been little disorder
since the strike was inaugurated.

Mobile, Ala, March 3O.-Conditions

ton in Mexico, according to +. W.
Blake, of Merida, general manager of
the United Railways of Yucatan, who,
with his family, arrived in Mobile last
night on the American schooner James
w. Paul, Jr., from Progreso. The Car
rama government has commandeered
the United Railways.
''Times are mighty bad in Yucatan
right now, especially for any one who
is opposed to General Carranza,' said
Blake. 1.-The independent movement,
which started in February, is now con
fined to the section around Campeche,
while Carranza controls both Progreso,
the seaport AMI Merida, the capital.
'Hundreds of men and women have
left the country. believing that Car

taylor urges PURCHASE
OF Three fire AUTOS


$1S,O0O, the amount available, as the
prices obtained for the three pieces it is
proposed to buy from the first named
concern are lower than those obtained
in competitive bidding.
Five hundred residents of the West
End petitioned the Commissioners, in
twenty-four separate papers, to pass the
ordinance providing for the purchase of
the $4,000 site at Fifth and Emerald
streets, proposed as a playground. The
petitions were ordered fled.
Action on the Fairgrounds ordinance
was postponed for one week at the re-
quest of Commissioner Taylor, in view
of the absence from the meeting Of
Commissioner Bowman and also because
the Planning Board has not yet passed
upon the measure. Bowman attended
the funeral of a relative at Reading
this afternoon.
A letter from State Health Commits
sicner Dixon advising the City to renew
its permit to continue to dump sewage
into the Susquehanna river during the
next year or until such time as dis
posal plant may be provided, was re.
ferred to City Solicitor Seitz, with pow
er to have the permit renewed.
The ordinance providing for the pur.
chase of the Paxtang Cemetery Asso-
citation and the Amos Enders plots to
permit the continuation of the Cameron
parkway, were passed finally, These
additional measures also were finally ap-
proved: Purchase of $500 or more
feet of fire hose; repairs to Friendship
fire engine, and sewer in 10-foot-wide
alley north of Herr street, extending
between Nelson and Monroe streets.
City Commissioners thought it would
be establishing bad precedent to be-
gin issuing bonds to cover the cost
of paving in front of "non-assessable :"
operties-churche and schools-and
for that reason Commissioner Lynch
decided not to introduce measure pro-
viding for the paving of North Second
street, between Emerald and Schuylkill,
which skirts church.

TO PAY CONTRACTS PROMPTLY
Measure Making That Provision Will
Be Reported Favorably

The Senate Judiciary General com,
mittee this morning had under consid-
Grafton the bill providing that here
after the appropriations to State insti-
tutions shall be paid at the beginning
of the quarter instead of at the close.
Under tine present law bills are con-
tracted and payment deferred until the
close of the quarter, the contractor De-
ing compelled to wait three months be-
fore he can get his money. This has mao
the effect of preventing that compe-
tition for contracts that is desired in
order to get good goods at the lowest
prices.
1t is held that under the proposed bill
the trustees of State institutions can
pay on delivery and thus get sgbstan-
tial discounts for the State, and at tine
same time have ready money in hand.
The committee decided to report the
bill favoraibly.

SITUATION AT MATAMOR0S
No Fighting UP to Noon To-day Be,
tween the Villa and Carranza
Factions in Mexico
By Associated Press.

Brownsville. Tex, March S0.-There
had been no fighting up to noon to-day
between Villa and Carranza factions
around Matamoros and no indications
that fighting soon would be resumed.
Villa forces now before Matamoros,
after their unsuccessful attack last Sat
urday, are likely to find themselves
hemmed in by Carranza forces from the
west and south, if reports of advancing
Carranza troops are true.
Washington, March 30.-President
Wilson told callers that he believed the
administration was doing everything
possible to protect Americans along
the Mexican border. A suggestion that
General Hugh l.. Scott, chief of staff of
the army, might be sent to Browns
vile, to stop the fighting near the bor-
der at Matamoros, was met with a
statement by the President that there
was no plan for that.
Reports to the State and War De-
partments indicated an impending bat
tie at Nuevo Laredo. Villa troops
were reported closing in from Salinas
and surrounding towns to concentrate
at Lampazos, on the way to Neuvo La
redo. Six hundred Carranza troops un-
der General Herrera were reported
within Is miles of Neuvo Laredo Mon
day marching to join the garrison
there. With all surrounding detach-
mcnts assembled the force at Nuevo
Laredo would number, about 1,eO0.
Dispatches from Progreso say that
the port is quiet and that the tax has
been reduced on 5000 bales of sisal
bought before the new tax was laid.
The traffic situation in Mexico was
summarized in this statement by the
State Department.:
1.-The department is just in receipt
of information from Mexico City to the
effect that railroad communication
north has again been interrupted. A
dispatch has also been received from
Piedras Negras stating that rail com
munication with the interior will not
be established for 15 days or more, and
that it is not believed mail service will
nc established in less than a month.
A dispatch dated March % from No
gales states that IL railway bridges
were destroyed Saturday night and
Sunday on the line south between Llano
and Carbo. 1t is stated that the repairs
will require at least ten days.

STORIES OF
RUSSIAN VICTORIES THE
Cause OF PERMYSL STALL

Permysl, Friday, March 26, Via Petro-
grad, March 80, IL Noon, and London
2.35 p M.-Refusal to credit stories OF
Russian victories and the progress of
Russian arms contributed largely to the
ultimate fall of the Permysl fortress
according to the opinion of certain Aus
trian officers who went through the
siege. The Russian advance was grad
ual and for this reason it would appear
that the Austrians overlooked its seri.
BUSINESS. They neglected their oppor.
tunities to bring in provisions in quan-
tity when these were presented, and
later had to pay for this neglect. Aus
trian soldiers within the fortress who
spoke of Russian successes were severe.
ly dealt with by their superiors.
The correspondent who came into
Permysl with the Russians Monday
March %, has since talked at length
with number of Austrian officers, one
of whom spoke of the days of siege as
follows:
"The morale of the men within the
fortress was good at the outset, but
it underwent change after the bat
tered armies of Generals Dankl, Auf-
fenbach and Bruderman straggled into
Permysl. These crowds of tired, rag
ged and hungry troops, driven in from
outside battle fields filed the town of
Permysl as well as the fortress. They
lay about the streets and from this
time things for us changed for the
worse. We overlook opportunities to
bring in provisions. We made endeav-
ors to keep out other detachments of
our soldiers who had been defeated
by the Russians. We began conserving
our supplies. But even so we would not
believe that the Austrian defeats at
the hands of the Russians were se-
rious. Starvation began and aviators
were our only means for the replenish-
ment of supplies.
"The fate of this fortress was de-
eided after the sortie of the 10th.
When this was driven back the Rus.
slams were within 1900 yards of our
outer line. Then the terrific lombard
ment followed. In one open space TO-.
900 Austrians and Hungarians were
massed and the ground was soon COW
cred with dead and wounded.'
Continuing the Austrian officer de.
scribed the last hours of the fortress
as awful. No doubt of the outcome ex-
listed in any ones mind and it was
with a sense of relief that the garri.
son at O'Clock Monday morning saw
the white flag of surrender.
