 It is understood he asked for a re- pudiation even if the statement was not actually authorized There is no intimauon in official circles that this will be done It is understood the statement was made without the knowledge of the attorney general
 Chancellor Polk, of the state de partment. conferred at length with the attorney general. It was learned that Charge Baron Zwiedinek trans miued the communication upon the subject to Secretary Lansing, al- though the state department has not announced the receipt of the communi- cation
 Embassy officials declined to dis cuss the case for publication It is not definitely established whether the charge was acting on his own initiative or upon orders from Viena. The former is considered more prob able, altho a Vienna inquiry would not surprise officials.

 TODAY
First Train in Many Weeks to Cananea Will Start South To-

The troops Of Rodriguez. the Villa leader who had occupied Can anea. are in the neighborhood Of Puertecito Pass, at last reports.
 Several Americans entered Cananea yesterday They an declare that sur prise was their portion in not finding more damage than was actually there The buildings in the town were done no good by the occupation of the Villa troops but of actual damage there is very little
 The Sonora Hotel suffered to the greatest extent Apparently the oc- cupants of the town held a "baile" at the hotel and during the dance pro- ceeded to shoot up the place. Bullet holes were to be found in every con- ceivable direction
 The Americans who remained in Cananea during the occupation of the town by General Rodriguez suffered 10 considerable extent All escaped with their lives, however. which. un- der the circumstances is considered very fortunate
 General Obregon came out to Can anet yesterday morning and was in Agua Prieta yesterday afternoon His troops are known to be following the Villa forces in the hope Of cutting them from the main and forcing an issue with that contingent before it can join the main body, with Villa.
 IL is very probable that the mines at Cananea will be opened as speed fly as possible With the railroad repaired, between Naco and the camp supplies of every nature can be ship ped in and indications point to the supposition that the camp win not be bothered by further troubles from General Villa
