LONDON, July 29.-The foreign Of flee today published the communica- ton it sent to the American ambassa- dor. Walter H. Page, concerning the case of Captain Fryatt. The commu- nicatiOn states:
 His majesty's government finds it difficult to believe that master of merchant vessel, who. after a Ger man submarine had adopted the prac- tice of sinking merchant vessels with out regard for the lives of the pas sengers or crew, took the step which appeared to afford the only chance of saving not only his vessel but the lives of all on board, can be shot deliberately in cold blood for this ac- tion.
 "If the German government has in fact perpetrated such a crime in the case of a British subject held pris- oner by them. it is evident that a most serious condition of affairs has arisen.
 The foreign secretary. therefore. is obliged. on behalf of the govern ment, to request that an urgent in quiry map be made by the United States embassy in Berlin as to wheth- CT the report of the shooting of Cap tain Fryatt is true, in order that the

DOUGLAS, July 29.-The first en- gagement of the de factO Mexican troops with the Yaqui Indians since the resumption of the general cam paign for their extermination by Gen. P. Elias Gales, took place Thursday morning when so Mexican infantry men under Col M Fferros surprised 30 Yaquis at their camping place at spring in the Western part of the Sarhuartipa district, few miles north Of Tonichi, Sonora.
 Fierros reported that 12 Indians and four of his men were killed before the Indians escaped 10 the hills.
 General Gales has reached Elm palme and established his headduar- ters there, Ives c. Lelevier, Mexican consul here, said today. He is super intending the distribution of his army throughout the Hermosillo, Ures and Sahuaripa districts for the campaign.
 Consul Lelevier confirmed the re- port that Colonels Rosario Garcia and Frederico Mesa, with a band of Vii listas. are encamped in the Bermudes mountains in the southern part of the Sahuartipa district He denied. how ever. that there was danger to for eigners on account of their presence, saying that the number of govern ment troops sent into the Sahuartipa district will make it impossible for the Villistas to raid mining proper ties successfully.

CONSTANTINOPLE. via London. July 29.-An official statement given out today reads:
 Owing to Russian attacks in the direction of Baiburt and Mamakhat- southern bank of the TchOruk river. our troops are maintaining in sue cessive lines the execution of coun- ter-attacks and are retiring in order Our troops on the left wing north of the Tchoruk in the Littoral region following the movement against the center.
 Russ Losses Heavy
 Consequently the places of Bai- burt, Gumuskhaneh and Erzingan fell into the enemy's hands. The advance. complish only with bloody losses. can not change our general situation on this front.
 Russ Stories Fakes?
 "The exaggerated Russian official reports about our retreat are without foundation. The Russians are report ing our move nent as a flight, but eX- cept for two guns damaged by the enemy's fire. we left nothing.
 Whip 'Em Next Time
 "The next operations, which will take place shortly will prove how very premature the Russians have been in spreading this news of alleged great successes and how much they have deceived themselves in their reports"

WASHINGTON. July 2e.-Spe-
 ciaI protection for the German
 merchant submarine Deutschland
 when she starts out of American
 territorial waters was asked of
 the American government late
 today, with the intination that
 the boat would leave Baltimore
 some time tomorrow. After cen
 ferences between state, treasury
 and navy department officials. fl
 was ruled that no extraordinary
 precaution could be ordered. be-
 cause the United States views the
 Deutschland as an ordinary ner-
 chantran.
 Fear British Violence
 It is understood that the applica- tiOn for protection was made through the collector of customs at Baltimore and that Captain Koenig. the submar- inc commander. desired a coast guard cutter or naval vessel to escort him down Chesapeake Bay and 10 the 3 mile limit. Unless steps are taken to prevent il. the submarine probably will be followed by a fleet of small craft carrying newspaper correspond dents, photographers and sightseers.
 it is sad, too. that the Germans
 fear some British merchant ship
 might lo to sea in the wake of
 the Deutschland, advertising her
 presence to the Allied cruisers
 waiting of the Virginia Capes. or
 even attempting to ram her as
 soon as she left American terri
 toriaI waters.
 Protection For Miles
 Officials of the state department held that while American neutrality must be fully safeguarded. it would be a bad precedent for the govern ment to convoy or accord any other unusual attention to a vessel that can be rated only as merchantmen Precautions already have been taken to see that the submarine IS not mo- tested within the mile limit. Since the reported incuTsion of a British cruiser between the Virginia Capes last week. the armored cruiser North Carolina and three desJroyers have been patrolling of Cape Henry.

PARIS. July 29.-Premier Briand addressed to J. J. Jusserand, the French ambassador at Washington, and to other French representatives in neutral countries, directing them to present to the government to which they are respectively accredited, note reading as follows:
 "I ask you to call the attention of the government to which you are ac credited, to the treatment which the population of Lille, RoubaiX and Tour coing have been subjected by the Ger man authorities.
 Cites The Hague
 "The French government ill the presence of revealed facts invokes the application of Article III, of the Hague convention concerning laws and GUS toms of conducting land warfare to the end that Germany be held respOn- sible for violations of these rules by its armed forces.
 'I therefore ask you, in presenting this note, to ask the government to give it the most serious attention as it constitutes the protest of the French government against the condition which it brings to the attention of the civilized world, supported by testi- monies from many sources" After reciting the efforts made by the government through the Spanish government to stop the German prac- tices in invaded regions, the docu- ment adds:
 Appeal To Neutrals
 To-day, all our protests having been in vain, we place the evidence before the eyes of neutral powers, as sured of the judgement that universal conscience will pass upon such condi- tions and that will be incumbent upon the German government, in case it undertakes to question this evidence to permit an impartial inquiry To this end the German government must authorize the neutral powers to con duct an investigation notably of the events occurring at Lille, RoubaiX and Tourcoing, and surrounding commun- ities from the 22nd to the 29th of April. 1916.
