 .xsrsy DefiEitely

Washington, January 4.-Brigadier General Scott. chief of staff of the Uni- ted States army, and General villa have arranged to confer on the internatiOn- al bridge at El Paso with . view to arriving at an understanding that will permanently prevent further firing aong the international line. w

 In response to the signals of distress sent LID by the Pilgrim. the Tholma, bound to Copenhagen, steamed as clnse as she dared to venture and the crew of the dis abled vessel swam to the Norwegian boat. The Pilgrim recently had taken American registry, formerly being the British bark Gael.

many looking to a tightening of the export regulations which will prevent American shipments from reaching Germany and Austria through neigh boring countries other than Italy.
 A loosening of the regulation apply ing to American cargoes, 1t Is said by British officials, will depend largely on the assurances received from neutral countries that they will not assist in supplying Germany, Austria and Turkey with munitions of war.

Russians Successful

Berlin. January 4.-(Via London, Janu- ary 5, 10:35 a. m.)-Heavy Russian rein forcements from Kiev were responsible for the recent change in the situation fin Galicia, according to Leonard Adelm, correspondent of the Tagleblatt, at Aus tran headquarters.
 The Russians, after their defeat at I.odz and their unsuccessful battle at Lmanowa, the correspondent says. seemed about to be elected from Galicia and retired behind the vistula, when re- inforcement. principally militia, turned the scale in the.r favor. The Russians then launched new offensive southward in the direction of Nowy sandec. hoping to jam in between the Galician and Car pathian armies. The Austrians, how ever, arrested the advance.
 A renewal of the southward movement. the correspondent continues Is improb- able now as q further advance wouli bring the Russians between two fires. Instead of this heavy pressure west ward in the direction of Cracow is notice- able The Russians also turned on the Carpathian army. but confined them- selves to an attack on the southeastern passes. forcing their way Into Hungary over the Uzsok pass, this move assur- ing them continued control of Petroleum fields south of Lemberg and Przemysl.

London, January 4.--(10 p. m. )--Iate test news from the battle fronts indicate little activity, the Hull evidently being enforced by bad weather. Steinbach, a village in upper Alsace. Is in the hands of the French after house to house fighting. This loss Berlin admits.
 The day was marked by artillery duels, with occasional infantry dashea for slight gains, but the line from the Disc to the sea was almost calm.
 German headquarters declares the situation on the eastern front remains unchanged and nothing has reached London to contradict this statement.
 Politically the American note still oc- cupies prominent position. dividing attention with speculations as to what Roumania and Italy will do. The Brit ish answer it Is exepcted, will be sent to Washington late this week. It Is un- derstood here that Great Britain has reached such a satisfactory understand ing with Italy with regard to the trans shipment of. contraband that no cal goes destined for that country have been stopped since December 4.
 British officials declare that the re- lief of American shipping from the pres ent regulations depends largely on the assurances of neutral states bordering on belligerent countries that they will not assist in supplying Germany, Aus tria or Turkey with.food and war muni- tiOns.

Lisbon, Sept. 30.-The risings in Northern Portugal which have been suppressed for the time being at least were brought about by adherents of the Republic who desire a more con servative form of government than the present extreme Radical one in power, and not by Monarchists as appears to be supposed outside Portugal.
 Great reserve Is observed in official quarters, but the indications are that the government does not yet consider the danger as past Troops are kept in constant readiness day and night for service, 6earchlights from war ships in the hnrbor play nightly upon the waters surrounding vessels, with tho object. presumably, of preventing attacks from insurgents who might attempt to board them from boats or barges.
