Barulos in the Mediterranean and

passengers who had gone overheard in
a panic, according to Eleanor Franklin
Egan, an eyewitness, who arrived
here on the steamship New York.
The Barulos, according to Mrs.
Egan, who is writer, returning from
six months trip through Southern
Europe, left Piraeus for Alexandria on
October 2. Although the ship few the
British flag, her crew was Greek, the
passengers, a majority third-class, be-
ing chiefly Greeks and Orientals.
When about five hours south of Crete
the ship picked up three boats con-
tanning the crew of the British steam
ship Sailor Prince, which had been
sunk by submarine few hours pre-
vious
The Barulos, Mrs. Egan said,
carried only four lifeboats, each with
capacity for 80 people. The picking
up of the crew of the Sailor Prince
created feeling of excitement which
was at fever heat, when suddenly
submarine came to the surface about
two miles distant and fred a shot
over the Barulos, evidently as signal
for her to stop.

Dared the Americans
To Fight.

Nogales, Ariz.-Fifty eight Mexican
soldiers, crossing into the United
States at Harrison's ranch, east of
here, fired on six American troopers
of the Tenth Cavalry. twenty-five
other troopers of the Tenth Cavalry
who were on reserve post opened fire
on the Mexicans, killing number, ac-
lcording to report, and bringing one
wounded prisoner into camp.
/ A number of Villa troopers just
across the line hurled insults at
United States soldiers and dared them
ito fight. Feeling had run high in the
Mexican town all day over the report
ed refusal of United States customs
officials to allow foodstuffs to cross
the boundary into Mexico, and this
feeling was intensified by the report
later that General Obregon was ad-
vancing on the American side against
.Nogales, Sonora.
The answer to the Villa troopers
actions was prompt order resulting
in barrier of United States soldiers
being thrown along the line, barring
passage to all in either direction.
Sentiment among Villa adherents is
apparently growing against Ameri-
cans. The military authorities on this
side of the boundary were unusually
vigilant.
Vicente Terrazas, a civil official of
Nogales, Sonora, was executed by or

ceeded his authority in ordering the

Eyes Now On Russians.

So far the French have held their
positions, but dispatches from Salonilzi
hint that it may be necessary to with
draw from Krivolak to the southwest,
where British-French reinforcements
are being concentrated. While the re-
suits of these movements are being
watched with some anxiety, news
comes from the northern frontier of
Bulgaria, where big Russian army is
massing.
It is reported that Gen. Alexei Kuro-
patkin is to command this Russian
army Of invasion, which will either be
sent up the Danube or allowed passage
through Roumania to attack Varna

forces are being concentrated at
Odessa and Sebastopol and will doubt

Russians to divert a part of the Bessa-
