Issued BY the British
Admiralty.

London, July 10.-In accordance with
the recent decision of the British gov
eminent to discontinue the partial in
forcement of the declaration Of Lon
don which has reference to the conduct
of naval warfare an order in council
was published in the London Gazette,
under which all orders made under the
declaration Of London inc the begin
ming of the war are withdrawn.
The new order declares it to be the
intention of Great Britain and her
allies to exercise their belligerent
rights at sea in strict accordance with
the law of nations. On account of the
changed conditions of commerce and
the diversity of practice, doubts might
arise in certain matters as to the rules
which the allies might regard as in
conformity with the law of nations,
and it is ordered that the following
provisions be observed:
First, the hostile destination re-
quired for the condemnation of CONTRA
band articles shall be presumed to
exist Until the contrary is shown, if
the goods are consigned to or for an
enemy authority or agent of an enemy
state, or to or for 9 person in the terri
tory belonging to or occupied by the
enemy or to or for a person, who during
the present hostilties has forwarded
contraband goods to an enemy author
ity or agent of ar enemy state, or to or
for a person in territory belonging to or
occupied by the enemy, or il the goods
are consigned to order, or if the ships
papers do not show who is the real
consignee of the goods.
Second, the principle of continuous
voyager or ultimate destination shall.
be applicable both in cases of contra
band and blockadeS.
Third, a neutra! vessel carrying rom
raband with papers indicating a neu-
trail destination, which nothwithstand-
ing the destination shown on the papers,
proceeds TO ar enemy part, snail be
liable to capture and condemnation If
her mex voyage.
Fourth, a vessel carrying contra
band shall be liable to capture and
condemnation If the contraband, reck-
ned either by value, weight, volume
or freight, forms more thar half the
cargo"
1t is further ordered that nothing in
the new regulations shall be deemed to
affect the order in council of March IL
1915, for further restricting the COM
merce of the enemy or any proclama-
tons declaring articles to be. contra
band Of war during the present hostili-
ties; nor shall the new regulations at

this morning by General Gonzales in

The message said that 200 cavalry

supported by soc infantry, had over

ments from Chihuahua City that the de
facto government is making a great ef-
fort to annihilate the bandits Of south
ern chihuahua and northern Durango.
1t is stated on reliable authority that
Carranza officials believe that the
elimination Of the Villistas at this time
would help to hasten the Withdrawal
of General Pershing's army from north
ern Chihuahua.
To accomplish this resul they are
throwing every once Of effort into the
running down of the maurauders. With
superior numbers and better arms and
ammunition, they are believed to have
a good chance for speedy victory.
The Information received here, how
ever, is to h effect that the bandits
are fighting desperately since they dis
approve Of a possible agreement be-
tween General CarranZa and the
United States. Among them are said
to be many men that tool part in the
raid at Columbus, who in revenge upon
General CarranZa still are seeking to
bring on intervention.
The bandits are said to be rauying
every person possible to their stan
dard.
El Paso representatives Of mining
camps in southern Chihuahua received
reports that the Carranzista garrison
of 200 men at Santa Rosalia about 26
miles north of Jiminez had renowned

Vulnerable guns and waves OF 1nfan-
