PROGRESS OF THE
NOGALES BATTLE
ON u. S. BORDER

Nogales. Ariz., Aug. "A Carranza
force under General P. Elias Gales to-
day attacked Nogales, Sonora, held by a
Villa force under Governor Maytorena.
A regiment of United States infantry,
two troops Of cavalary and machine
gun platoon lined the border to check any
invasion Of American rights by the Mex
lean factions. The American soldiers
said they had orders to fire the moment
bullets flew into American territory. An
occasional Mexican bullet did cross the
border but not in the vicinity of the
town.
The Carranza troops advanced this
morning from Mascarras ranch. 10 miles
south Of Nogales. where they had de-
feated the larger part of Maytorena' s
troops last night. The advance guard
Of Gales cavalry appeared at the head
of the pass three miles from Sonora
about noon, catching Maytorena with but
500 infantry and 200 cavalry in the town.
The Villa commander rushed all his
available men to the pass and. throw
ing I'D extemporaneous Entertainments,
checked the CarranZa advance guard
with machine gun fire. Gales. however,
hastily brought up his own machine
guns and, posting Hotchkiss field gun
on a hill commanding the Villa position,
forced Maytorena to withdraw to the
shelter Of the town. where he took po-
sition along the border.

Baltimore, Aug. 4.-One of the fierc-
est storms that ever visited this Sec
ton, swept over Chesapeake Bay last
night causing heavy damage to the
corn and fruit crops in Baltimore and
Howard counties and doing other in
jury.
Hundreds of small craft, mainly
pleasure boats, were torn from their
mornings and cast ashore, but as far
as learned there was no loss of life.
The Hamburg American liner Bull

driven to the upper floors, from which
they were taken in row boats.

young American. who was assaulted.
robbed and subjected to other indigni-
ties by Zapata followers July % near
San Martin, Mexico. while carrying
diplomatic correspondence between
Puebla and Mexico City, made a state
ment on his arrival today. He said:
Il left Puebla in my automobile last
Thursday morning, carrying official
mail for the Brazilian legation in Mex
leo City which was sealed and given
to me by an American Consul Jenkins.
With me were Carlos Batros, son of
the Chilean minister to Mexico; A.
Gallopin, a Swiss citizen: r. Coloca, a
Spanish subject and my mechanic, a
Mexican. Shortly after we entered
San Martin, the Carranistas fled from
the town and Zapistas entered, shoot
ing in all directions.
The Zapata soldiers went up to my
automobile, tore the American flag
from the hood. and ripped it into shreds
with their teeth. Then they broke
open all the packages in the car I
lOlU IicIll was carrying OIIlCldI mali
from the President of the United
States. They tore up my passport and
credentials. tore my coat off and de-
manded my money. The soldiers start
ed to open the correspondence, but
gave it back when l warned them what
it was.
Then about a dozen soldiers, includ-
ing the Colonel, piled into my automo-
bile, demanding that l drive them to
Huejotzingo to Zapata. The soldiers
took Gallopin and Batres to a church
where found them later, Batres hav-
ing been robbed and beaten. They tied
a rope around Coloca's arm and a
mounted Zaptista dragged him through
the sand and mud, ahead Of the ma
chine. Several times during the trip
the Colonel struck me with his re-
volver and threatened to kill me. I
told him who I was and he demanded
the correspondence. Zapata tore open
the mail, examined it and tossed it
aside. Finally he had an officer give
me a passport and permitted me
leave, but he refused to return the
mail. Colocas was ordered away to
be shot,"

REFUSAL BY GERMANY
Continued From Page ~

Frye from being sunk, although 1t did
not protect a contraband cargo. Ger
4nany takes precisely an opposite view.
eontending that the article only OBJ
4igates her to pay damages. Further
kmore.. Germany replies that as the
Fry@slcargo of wheat destined to Eng
land; was contraband the ship was Ii
lable to conf1scation and that as an at
tempt to take the prize into a German
port would have imperilled her cap
tcr.' the destruction Of the Frye was
according to general principles Of in
ternational law"
As to Right Of Sinking
1.-The. right of sinking" says the Ger
man note, lis not mentioned in the trea-
ty. and therefore is not expressly per-
mitted nor expressly prohibited. so that
on this point the party stipulations must
be supplemented by the general rules of
international law. 1t Is not dis
puted by the American government that
according to the general principles of in
ternational law belligerent is authorized
in sinking neutral vessels under almost
any conditions for carrying contraband."
The note argues at length for the Ger
provision. contending that it intends to
establish a reasonable compromise be-
tween the military interests of the bel
ligerent contracting party and the COM
mercial interests of the neutral party.
ION the other hand" says the note,
"the belligerent party is to have the right
to prevent the transportation of war
supplies to his adversaries. even when
carried on vessels of the neutral party;
on the other hand, the commerce and
navigation of the neutral party is to be
interfered with as little as possible by
the measures necessary for such preven-
ton and reasonable compensation is to
be paid for any inconvenience or DAM
age which may. nevertheless, ensue from
the proceeding of the belligerent party"
That, In short. is Germanys argu-
ment. based on her Interpretation of the
treaty. and to that the view of the Unit
ed States Is squarely opposed. Payment
for the Frye in the manner suggested
will not affect the questions of rights
under the treaty.
A German prize court on July 10 held
the imperial government for damages but
fixed no amounts, since the United States
refused to become party to the pro-
ceedings, demanding settlement by diplo-
macy under the treaty.
The case of the American steamer Lee
lanaw. recently sunk by Il German SUBJ
marine, is parallel to the Frye case. It
now Is in the preliminary stages Of diplo-
matte negotiation.

N. Y. FLOODED AND
SHIPPING SADLY
TIED UP BY STORM

New York, Aug. 4.-Streets in New
York City and it's suburbs were turn
ed into yellow rivers, surface and ele-
waited traffic was badly crippled, wires
were blown into a tangled network,
trees uprooted and hundreds Of cellars
flooded in torrential downpour that
broke over the Metropolitan section
this forenoon to the accompaniment of
sixty mile gale.
Nearly three inches of rain fell in
four hours at Sandy Hook, where a
southeastern dashed the ocean into fury.
Vessels were held up at the harbor
entrance, and during the height Of the
gale, a small schooner, the M. V. B.
Chase. from Cheverie, N. S.. to Nor
folk, with plaster, surrendered to the
elements off Scotland lghtship and
went to the bottom. Her. captain
futile, and E.. Martin, a Swedish sail
or, were drowned. Captain Tuttle's
body. dashed to boat. adrift some
where off the coast, was sought by
coast guards, who rescued the other
four members Of the crew.
Along the northern coast Of New
Jersey the gale did damage difficult
to estimate. Seabright, swept by the
ocean three times within IS months,
was battered again. Along the line of
railroad which runs from the town ia
the furthest spit Of the Jersey shore
at Sandy Hook, the rollers leaped the
bulkhead and flooded the tracks, eff
fectually tying UP traffic.
In a dozen parts Of New York City
and Brooklyn, the streets lay under
water from two to three feet deep.
Jamaica avenue. Brooklyn, was i'm
passable for two and one-half miles
The thoroughfare had been torn up
for sewers and the storm caught it
at the worst stage. The excavation

From Coney Island and Seagate,
where there is a large tent colony,
came reports Of wholesale levelling of
tents and general tie-up in transit
facilities. No fatalities were reported
from any section Of the Metropolitan
district. with the exception Of the
sinking of the M. V. B. Chase.
Fifteen trolley lines in Brooklyn and
as many more in Manhattan, it was
estimated. were stalled by the flood.
In Newark, N. j, a street caved in
above a broken sewer.
Two hundred yachts or Whereabouts,
which started yesterday in the New
York Yacht Clubs cruise, from New
London. Conn, tugged at their anchor
age in heavy, tumbling seas at New

the cruise. A 40-mile gale was sweep
ing the waterfront there and it looked
as If the race for the Aston cups. down
