i. S. RECEIVES NO
APPLICATION IN
REGARD TO ACTION

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE United States
government has received no application
from Spain for joint action with other
nations in the Mexican situation. Sec
Bryan said Saturday night. nor has any
intimation that such step was contem-
plated officials learned with much In
terest OF the press reports that Spain
had addressed q communication TO the
powers on the situation in Mexico.
At the Spanish embassy 1t was said
no word had been received from Madrid
as to the decision o, the cabinet. but
that a full report OF the expulsion from
Mexico OF jose Caro-. the Spanish minis
ter On which 1t is presumed here SPANS
reported action is based. had been sent
by Mr.. Caro- through the embassy here
to the Spanish foreign Office.
The peculiar status Of all diplomatic
representatives in the country where no
government is recognized. it was believ-
ed by many officials, probably would
override the technical point that the
Spanish minister could enjoy no diplo-
matte immunities because he had not
presented credentials.
It was suggested that Mr.. Caro's ap-
pointment by the Spanish government
would. in the circumstances. constitute
sufficient proof OF his Official status for
any de factor government and should III
spire the same respect as that usually
given diplomatic representatives.
The Spanish government may have ad-
dressed q note to all the powers reciting
Caro's experiences with the Carranza
government. officials here believe. but un-
til the nature Of Spain's suggestions are
known, they decline to speculate on the

statement outlining a defense Of the
step Of disn3;ssiug the Spanish minis
ter. He declares that Caro- had no
Official standing and was guilty of at
tempting to shield man accused by
this government Of a serious crime.
Urrueta recites that Angel del Case.
a Spanish resident Of Mexico. had
been closely identified in politics with
Gen Francisco Villa. at one time
having served as his secretary, and
that after Gen. Villas retirement from
Mexico City he styled himself minis
ter OF Spain.
When Gen. Obregon entered Mexico
City the arrest Of Gel Case was order
ed and the accused was given refuge
in the Spanish legation by Senior Caro-,
who in the meantime had arrived in
Mexico. Gen. Carranza ordered that
the Spanish legation be searched, aft
er Senior Caro- had denied the presence
OF del Case. and when Senior Caro- re-
fused permission for this search TO be
made Cen. Carranza ordered him TO
leave the country.
Senior Caro- protested, Senior Ur-ueta
asserts in his statement, On the
ground that as q duly appointed min
lister his legation enjoyed the right Of
extra terr.toriality; at the same time
he claimed the inviolability Of his per-
son.

fined by the German Admiralty. and
70 the original note adds the following
Since Germany. following the ex-
ample of Great Britain. declared as a
war zone. on and after Feb. IS, Eng
Esh and Irish waters, the British have
declared all the ports OF England war
ports and have justified the use OF
neutral flags on merchant vessels.
Moreover. according TO reliable
source, a grea, number Of British mer-
chantUen have been armed in order
TO destroy German submarines b.
shells or b. ra:nming them. Thereby
these ships lose their character as
merchant ships and become war yes
sells.
Germany, therefore. is again obliged
| urgently to warn al, neutral ships
against entering English coast waters
after Feb IS. as from that date the
German Admiralty will prosecute the
war with all means at its disposal
against British war ports and British
armed merchant ships.
Neutral vessels which are then still
within the war zone will run the same
risks as if they pursued course
through sea battles between England
and Germany. of which the date and
place could not have been made
known, and will bring risks upon
themselves for which Germany can
not take the responsibility.
The route around the north Of
Scotland. owing to the depth Of the
waters, cannot be endangered by
mines. There, as well as in the wa
tiers of the North Sea. with the excep-
ton Of British waters and German
Bay. neutral shipping will not be en-

shocked 10 learn OF her death which

home in NassalbOro, after a long i'll
ness.
Mrs. Burleigh had not been il good
health since Thanksgiving and her
condition was suc. on Feh. that she
was obliged to submit to an opera
ton for gall stones. The operation vas
successful and for a while Mrs. Bur
leigh seemed to be gaining, but her
age was against her and in the last
few days was failing very fast and the
SAD end came SATURDAY. Throughout
her long illness Mrs. Burleigh showed
the best Of courage and expected TO
be up and around with her family
within short time. Mrs. Burieigh
comes from one Of the oldest and
most highly respected families of this
section and her death will be a severe
loss TO the community. Mrs. Burleigh
married the late Hal c. Burieigh in
September, 1858. and was the mother
Of II children, of whom Clara NJ, John
H. Thomas G., and Nettie c., all OF
vassalboro, and William II. Of Whit.
man, Mass, and Kate H. Of Southern
Pines, s. c., survive.
Mrs. Burleigh was the daughter Of
Clarissa Kelly Garland and was born
in WInslow, Sept. IS. 1888.
After her marriage to Mr.. Burleigh
they resided in Waterviile on the farm
where the reservoir is now loca red.
After year in Waterville they moved
to Fairfield Center where they resided
until 1881 when they moved to Eassal-
boro and made this afterwards their
home.

Deacon Thomas Garland, who, with
his six brothers and defendants have
been highly respected residents Of

London. Feb. 1.-THE Spanish govern

in order to obtain joint action to end
what is termed a state of anarchy in
Mexico, according to dispatch from
Madrid to the Exchange Telegraph Co.
The expulsion from Mexico OF jose

a profound impression at Madrid. The
press at the Spanish capital comments
forcioly on Gen. Carranza's action. The
cabinet and council assembled today to
consider steps to be taken.

probable course of the American govern
ment.
gradually growing worse is admitted at
the state department. There has been
a disposition 10 regard the expulsion of
the Spanish minister as a personal mat
ter between Gen. Carranza and Mr. Caro-,
but whether this was fixed policy of
the Washington government ard would
be influenced by any formal diplomatic
action taken by Spain was a matter OF
wide conjecture.

RUSSIAN STATEMENT OF PRESENT

Petrograd, Russia. Feb. 14-Cvia Lon
don, P. M.-Russian staff officers to1ay
asserted that notwithstanding the re-
occupation OF the crown land OF Buko-
wilma by Austro-German armies. it does
not constitute menace TO the Russian
flank or TO the Russian position ABOUT
the town OF Lemberg. This Is due to
the fact that the Russians maintain
that to the north and south are mountain
ranges which render that section OF the
country issolated and because the RUS
sian positions in the Beehd range on
the south preclude the possibility of a
successful attack.
