SPEAKER REFUSES
 ID SIGN CONTRACT

Cleveland, April 11.-Tris Speaker star outfielder of the Boston American team, recently purchased by the Cleveland American league club, arrived here to- day to make the final arrangements for his transfer, but refused to sign con- tract. Negotiations will be continued to- morrow morning, when James G. Dunn, owner of the Cleveland club. expects to find a way out of the difficulty.
 While Speaker and Dunn tonight had no difficulty in agreeing upon a salary figure, Speaker insisted that J. J. Lan- min. president of the Boston club, pay him $500O of the purchase price received from Cleveland. Before leaving Boston, Speaker tried to arrange this with Lan- min, but failed. Tonight Dunn attempted to reach Lannin by wire and effect d settlement. but could not get in touch with the Boston man. It is believed that Dunn and Speaker will reach satis- factory settlement tomorrow in case Lan- min should persist in his refusal.
 Neither Speaker nor Dunn would make any statement tonight. Both said that whether Speaker dons a Cleveland uni form tomorrow depends upon the con- ference in the morning. It was intimated that the salary offered Speaker is well in excess of the 5000 which had been offered the latter by the Boston club.

 The repeated attacks there were thrown back before they succeeded in reaching the barbed-wire defenses and there was the same result generally in the attacks against Hill 304.
 The German regiment that succeeded in penetrating 300 yards of French trenches on the northeastern slope of the now his- torical Mort Homme, or Dead Mans hill. several times was driven back to cover when attempting to debouch to attack the positions higher up. No sooner would a company of men leap from their trench than the three-inch pieces and the ma chine guns began to bring down the att tackers. They never got more than 100 yards from their trench and they lost heavily during the day.

Sunday over a 13-mile front. Is being re- stricted in the latest fighting to a two mile front on the west side of the Mouse. Along these $500 yards of trenches the French thus far not only have succeeded in barring a further advance of the leu tons on the west bank, but also in screening their artillery, which is raking every German advance east of the river
 The object of the present operations is the now historical Mort Homme, or Dead Mans hill, which bars the way of the Grmans to a further advance west of the river. The operations began yester- day, when two German divisions were launched from Bethincourt and Haucourt against Hill No. 304 on the left of Dead Mans hill, while two divisions attacked in the brow of the hill known as 295 between Dead Mans hill and Cumieres.
 The Germans advanced in serried ranks as on Sunday and their proportionate losses are reported to have been quite as great. The fighting lasted all after noon with alternative advances and re- coil, the little gains of both sides being offset by equivalent losses, and at the end of the day the positions were on the whole the same as before the attack.
 LOSSES ARE GREAT
 The Germans are at the foot of Fill 296, while the French hold the slope and the summit, which are solidly fortified From these positions the French poured stinging fire into the dense ranks of the Germans, advancing over ground
