San Antonio, Texas.-American
troops and Mexicans ClasAed near
San Jose, in the Big Bend country, ac-
cording TO a report received by n
eral Funston from Colonel Joseph
Castor, commander OF the district,
No losses were suffered by the ATn-
orleans, and information is lacking
regarding loss among the MeXicans.
Colonel Gaston's report said that
band Of about thirty Mex!cans opened
fire on a detachment Of twenty-three
men OF the Sixth Cavalry and Texas
National Guard cavalry squadron, en-
gagged in patrol duty between Preside
and Ruidoso, Lieutenant Cudington
OF the Texas squad.on, commanding
the fire.
A vigorous exchange OF shots con
tinued for fOrty-fve minutes, the Am

on opposite sides OF the Rio Grande.
Information from Colonel Gaton did
not indicate that the United States

cans. After the fight Lieutenant
Cudington returned TO Ruidoso with
his command.
Whether the Mexicans were de
facto Government troops or members
of a bandit group was not known Jy
General Funston.
Colonel CASTOR reported that Major
A. V. p. Anderson Of the Sixth Cav.
airy had gone to San Jose TO investi
gate the incident. Colonel Riojas,
commander of the Carranza garrison
Of Ojinaga, had gone to the scene OF
the fight for the same purpose, ac.
cording to Colonel Castor.
The commanding officer OF the Big
Bend district reports that on the
evening OF Oct. 10 twenty. three men
from the Sixth Cavalry and a Texas
squadron OF cavalry at San Jose, ten
miles below Rui loso, were fred on
from the Mexican side by a party
OF about thirty Mexicans. Some Of
these Mexicans crossed TO our side.
but Immediately withdrew to the
Mexican side. There were no casual
ties on either side. Later reports
show the firing was probably by
drunken Mexicans.
Ruidoso is about forty miles north
west of Ojinaga the point which VIII
listas threatened to atta-k some
months ago. 1t is in a mountainous
part of the Big Ben district.

ATHENS IN RIOT AGAINST ALLIES

London.-With the occupation of
Athens and Piraeus by marines from
the warships OF the Entente Powers
a tense situation has arisen in Athens.
Great crowds Of Royalsts have pa.
raded the streets Of the Greek capital
and cordons Of Greek troops and ma
rines have been thrown bout the
railway stations, city hall and other
points occupied by the Entente forces
to prevent clashes between them and
the Royalists. An unofficial dispatch
says Admiral du Fournet was Kissed
by the throngs In the streets of
Athens and that a detachment of
French sailors was driven back by
the hostile crowd.
About a thousand marines were
landed at Piraeus AMI occupied the
railway station at Piraeus and several
buildings in Athens. ImmL diately
this became known the streets OF
Athens swarmed with Greeks fran
tically cheering King Constantine
and chanting the Greek national an
them. Great crowds marched through
the streets, thousands gathering in the
neighborhood OF the post Office square.
The War Minister, General Dracos,
ordered out Greek troops and ma
rines to guard every approach to the
square, in order to prevent any clash
between Greek civilians and the
French, who occupied that section es-
tablishing a complete Gordon about
the French and taking all precautions
to avoid any incident or accident.
The Greek Government s fully alive
to the fact that Greecc's fate hangs
on the prevention of further measures
on the part OF the French commander.

the Austrians suffered a hecvy re-
verse. all their counter attacks being
broken up. while the Italians pressed

TEUToNS HELD AT THE BORDER.

London.-Apparently the Ruman
ians have been successful, for the
time being at least, in stopping the
advance OF the Teutonic Allies all
along their border. At no point along
the line is the claim made by either
Berlin of Vienna Of fresh successes
against the RumaniaLs, while on the
other hand, the Bucharest War Oftice
asserts that the troops OF King Ferdi'
nand at various points have repulsed
the attacks of the Teutonic Allies,
inflicting heavy loss on thom and cap
turing numbers of their officers and
men.
Violent fighting is still in progress
in Galicia, where ON the Narayuvka
front the Bavarians have stormed a
Russian position and captured 800
men and IL machine guns. Berlin
asserts that to the west of Lutsk, in
Volhynia, following the repulse of the
Russians, the troops OF Emperor
Nicholas have not returned 10 the
fray and are merely bombarding the
Teutonic positions. The repulse OF
Austro-G German attacks in the Car
pathians. where snow is now falling
is recorded by Petrograd.
Both north and south OF the Somme
tho French troops have made fresh
gains. The village of Sally -Saillisel
is now entirely in their hands and
the Germans have been driven from
the hills northwest and northeast
Over a front of a mile south OF the
river, between La Maisonnette and
Blaches, the German first line de
fenses have been driven back by the
French.
To the east OF Thiepval gains by
the British north of Gueudecourt and
in the region of Butte de Warlencourt
are recorded by the London War
Office.
For the greater part OF the dcy there
was heavy shelling by both side along
practically the entire front. Two Ger
man aeroplanes have be n shot to
earth on the Somme fro-t by French
flyers in the course OF the last "A
hours.
Hard fighting continues in Galicia,

vances, says the statement, which also
reports the repulse of strong attacks

LINER ALAUNIA SUNK BY MINE
Biz Cunarder Valued at $1,000, 900,
Goes Down in English Channel.

London.-Th big Cunard liner
Alaunia struck a mine in the English
Channel and was sunk. All the pas.
sengers, thirty OF them Americans,
had been landed at Falmouth and
the ship was on her way from Fal.
mouth to London. Only four Of the
crew are missing. Capt. II. NJ. Benz.
son and 1863 sailors have been landed
by a trawler.
The value OF the ship and cargo
combined Is estimated at $1,000 600
at least. The Alaunia carried nearly
10000 tons of war supplies, ! capacity
cargo, valued at $3,000000 All these
supplies went down with her. She
was going to London to unload when
she struck the mine.
When the Alaunia sailed from New
York on October Z she carried 1856
cabin and 5S steerage passengers.
The ship just escaped the German
submarine U-53, which sank five ships
off Nantucket light the day after the
Cunarder sailed. She was equipped
with a Al inch naval gun mounted
aft as a protection against subme rine
attack.
Apparently the Alaunia did not
sink Immediately but remained ahoat
some time after she struck the mine,
which would account for the large
number OF her crew rescued.

attack the Rumanians have recaptur-
ed Mount Surul, on the eastern bank
OF the Alt River, near Red Tower
Pass, one Of the highest peaks in the
Transylvanian Alps. Everywhere else
on their mountainous frontier the
Rumanians have continued their sue
cessful defense and in some places
successful counter attacks against the
Austro-German army.
Gen. Won Falkenl ayn, formerly
Chief of Staff, has been wounded in
the leg and compelled IN relinquish
the command OF the Teuton armies
on the Rumanian front, according TO an
unconfirmed Zurich despatch forward
ed from Rome. The decpatch Is not
confirmed, but If true may possibly
account for the stopping at the from

Rumanians out Of Pennsylvania.

Russian troops in strength are
fighting with Gen. AvcIescu's Ruman-

Centre and Left Fall Back Be-
fore Won Mackensen's -,
Terrific Onslaught
IMPORTANT TOWNS TAKEN

Dcndon.-Mackense Is smashing
ahead in the Dobrudja with power
that is sweeping everything before
him. The Russians and Rumanians
are in flight over large part OF the
front. Only on Mackensens left
wing, resting on the Danube, have
the Russo Rumanian defenders been
able to check the rush.
The German commander captured
the two important positions OF Topral
Sari and Cobadin and brushed the
Allies forces back almost upon the
ConstanZa-Cernavo railroad line,
his immediate objective. This move
straightened the TeutOn-Bulgar front,
SO that it now runs almost parallel
to the railway.
Cobadin is almost in the centre OF
Mackensen's new line and less than
ten miles from the centre or the CON
stanza road, at Mejidie. Toprai Sarl'
valuable point of support on tn
Black Sea coast line, lies only four
teen miles southwest of ConstanZa.
In these operations Mackensen mas
been greatly assisted by the Turkish
troops under his command. furl-
Gus battle lasting all OF Thursday and
Friday resulted in a complete success
for the Ottomans, according to the
Constantinople War Office. The Rus
slams and Raumanians were routed,
the statement says, and 1,5OO pris-
oners fell into the hands OF the
Turks. The three-day offensive has
cost the Entente forces more than
$500 prisoners alone according to
Berlin claims.
