LONDON, July 12.-It Is officially
announced that German super-sub-

sea dreadnoughts recently launched,
late last night suddenly rose TO the
surface at the mouth OF Seaman har-
bora city of $4,000 population-and
without warning began sheIIlns the

Sunderland, In Durham county.
The entire population is terrified,
but only one person has been killed.
The submersible rises and dives, re-
appearing in different places, the eYi-
dent purpose being to destroy the
town. The harbor is mined, but so far
the invisible invader has escaped un-
scathed.
Several destroyers have been or
dered to the scene. II Is expected that
other harbors will be the scene of
similar attacks.
The big submarine Is armed with
heavy guns, most destructive expio-
sive shell being used.
The people of the city have sought
safety in cellars during the lombard

NO MERCY SHOWN
BY BANDIT CHIEF

clUOAo JUAREz, Mex, July
12. Three leading carranzista
major-seneraIs, Isnaeio Martinez,
Gabriel Gavira, and Luce Herrera,
this morning were removed from
train on the National railroad at
Oiaz, 4 small station between
Bustsmente and la Reforma, i
few miles north Of Jiminez, by
General Pancho Villa and they
were executed, by his order, on
the spot.
General Trevino, commanding at
Chihuahua, received the news of
the capture and executions by tele-
graph this afternoon.
General Martinez was en- route
to Chihuahua City to relieve Gen.
eral Trevino as military governor,
and General GaVira was slated to
relieve General Gonzales as COM
mandant at Juarez, where he was
formerly stationed.
The dispatches state that Gen.
eral Villa was in personal conn.,
mand Of the bandits who halted
the train and that after a sardonic
formal greeting to the three GEN.
erals he turned to his riflemen and
ordered them to fire.
Treachery in high places, which
led the three generals into the
trap, is suspected and a thorouuh
investigation by Carranza will fol-
low. It is freely predicted today
that CarranZa himself may not
live another week, on account Of
his yielding to the American de-
mands.
