TEN PERISH IN STORM.
Crews Of Barges Drown When Ships
Go to Pieces.

Saturdays coast storm claimed ten
victims in the vicinity Of the Della
ware capes. They were the crews OF
the Consolidation Coal company's S
barges Nos. 6 and 9, from Baltimore
for Boston who were drowned when
their crafts foundered near Cape
Henlopen. The barges broke adrift
from the tug Cumberland.
Despite heroic efforts in the face Of
binding snow storm and 60-nile
gale, the Cumberland's crew was un-
able to get another Line to the
barges. For hours the tug stood by,
but the fury Of the sea made it i'm
possible to render assistance. Final
ly the barges broke to pieces and
sank with all hands aboard. The
bodies of Capt. Johnson, Baltimore;
Karl Larsen, a Swedish subject, and
Dempsey Jarvis, also of Baltimore.
washed ashore late in the day.
The wind at one time blew seventy
miles an hour. Coast guards and
life-savers from the Lewes and Re-
hoboth stations made repeated efforts
to launch a life boat, but could not
get through the boiling surf.

men follows:
"Last night about a. N. Bulga-

forms attacked in large numbers our
outposts at Valndovo. Our frontier
guards, overwhelmed by superior
numbers, we're forced to give ground

railway station at Strumitza.
"At 5 a. m. the Bulgarians occu-
pied all the heights on the left bank
of the Vardar. The losses on both
sides were serious.
wounded soldiers state that the
Bulgarian bands manoeuvred and
fought under the direction of Bulga-
rian officers. The number of troops
engaged was slightly more than a
regiment.
"Neighboring frontier posts imme-
GiateIy sent reinforcements. The re-
suit Of the battle still is unknown
and details are lacking"
An official dispatch from Chew

DENIES RESPONSIBILITY
GERMANS SAY THRESHER HAD
AMPLE TIME TO ESCAPE.
Merchant Ship Armed and Submarine
Had to Act Quickly-Neutral Pas.
sengers Warned of Dangers.

Government officials took under
consideration Tuesday a statement
from the German embassy quoting an
official message from the Berlin for
eign office in which responsibility was
disclaimed for the loss Of any neutral
lives on board the British steamer
Falaba, recently Sunk by a German
submarine.
The claim is set up by Germany
that the Falaba, as well as other
British merchantmen, was armed and
that military necessity made 1t I'M
possible for the submarine to give
any longer time than was allowed for
the passengers to escape.
State department officials say the
death of Leon C. Thresher, an Ameri-
can lost with the Falaba, constitutes
a complicated case. If the German
view that all merchantmen being
armed are in the category OF war
ships is accepted, the rights Of neu-
trails to travel aboard belligerent
craft of any kind would be circum-
scribed.
Furthermore, Germany contends
that sufficient time was permitted for
the escape of the passengers and the
intimation is given that if he was not
included among those saved there
was an act of negligence for which
the Germans were not responsible.
President Wilson told callers that
no steps had been taken diplomati-
cally by the United States in the
Thresher case beyond efforts tc OBJ
tain the facts and circumstances IN
der which Thresher was drowned.
The statement issued by the Ger
man embassy waG: 1.-THE German
ambassador has received the follow
ing official message from Berlin:
"A report from the submarine has not
yet been received. However, accord
| ing to trustworthy reports, the sub
marine requested rhe steamer Falaba
to put passengers and crew into life
boats when other ships came up
Lately English merchant ships have
been provided with guns by the Brit.
| ish government and advised to rom

rines. This advice has repeatedly
been followed in order to win prom
| ised rewards. Military necessity con
sequently forced the submarine to act
quickly, which made granting OF
longer space Of time and the saving
of lives impossible.
:" 1.-THE German government regrets
the sacrifice Of human lives, but both
British ships and neutral passengers
on board ships we're warned urgently
and in time not to cross the war zone
Responsibility rests, therefore, witt
the British government, which, con
trary to international law, inaugu

/ law, has caused merchant ships tc

WRECKED BY STORM.
Captain and Six Members of Schoon-

Captain Emerson Murphy and the
six members of his crew were landed
at Charleston Sunday by the Clyde

them from tie schooner Alice Murphy
Saturday fifteen miles south Of Dia-
mond Shoal lightship. The schooner
had sprung leak and been shatter-

Because of the heavy seas oil was

siye action in the war between the
Carranza and Villa factions in Mexico
is in progress, or impending near Ira

State department dispatches dated
April 5 said the fight would take

second column, and a third column
under Gen. Hill moved toward More
liza. capital of Michoacan.
Ob-egon is understood by officials
to have 10000 men and it is said
Villa has gathered an equal number.
Irapuato is the junction of the MeNf-
can Central and the National railways
toward which Obregon's forces are
advancing.
The state department issued this
summary of the situation: "The de-
partment is informed that Gen. Villa
has announced that if ne is success
full in defeating the forces Of Gen. OBJ
regon south of Iraquato he will i'm
mediately open the lines Of communi-
cation to Mexico City. The depart
ment's advices indicate that should
the forces of Gen. Carranza be defeat
ed in this expected engagement his
important strongholds will be Vera
Cruz, Tampico and Matamoras."

south and was defeated at Navajo
Sharp fighting continues at Ebano
near Tampico.
The element supporting Gen. Gut

public at Washington the papers Civ

Jose Vasconcelos as special envoy Al

ORDERED HOME.
9. S. Military Observers Recalled
From German Posts.

The American army officers on
duty as military observers with Ger
man armies have been ordered home
and their places will not be filed.
The reason assigned by Secretary
Garrison for the recall order was that
their mission has been fulfilled. That
explanation, it was announced, would
be the war departments last word in
the matter. It is known, however,
that other reasons largely Of a per-
sonal character were considered BY
army officials in determining to with
draw the observers.
The American observers have
found their positions somewhat diff
cult because Of the high tension to
which at least few Of those with
whom they must come in contact ir
