Austrian commander, and King NlcAo

A wireless despatch from Rome
states that it was Austria which pro
bosed the cessation of hostilities, WI

1t is hoped that these rumors oil
the first break in the lineup Ct ire
entente nations may be based simply
on the fact that the Austrian advan;
in Montenegro has become so slow
that suspension OF hostilties Is natur
ally aroused.
Many military critics, however, are
Of the opinion that Monteneg!S is now
in such a position that some form oil
arrangement with her adversary has
become imperative.
1t is reported On apparently coed
authority that previous to the attack
Germany warned Montenegro aid Of
ferel separate peate, which was re
fused by King Nicholas. Prince v~n
Buelow, the iormaf Imperial German
chancellor, who was on al extended
visit to Switzerland recently, had beel

Austria, it. is believed, may be sat

ACCORDING to report at Ell Paso, Tex
Rodriguez is credited with having Is
sued a proclamation recently saying
. he would kill every American who fell
into his hands. A message from Ma
Iera says that before the capture, a
lumber of Rodriguez's men were kill
E. 1t also says that the American
Pc hard pressed, and that they are
IN need Of aid.
The capture was made byMaXimi
ano Marquee, it was said. He is all
employee Of the Hearst interests at
Babricora, and is now at Maderap
.eeping order, with about 125 Amerl'
cans and a few soldiers. The mes
soge said Rodriguez was met In q
pitched battle, defeated, and his men
scattered, captured and killed.
The Americans heard Rodriguez and
lis men were burning bridges below
MADEIRA. They called upon officials in
Chihuahua, asking that troops be rush
ed to them. Without waiting for aid,
Marquee attacked.
Forty men, among whom are some
who are believed to have taken part
in the murder of Americans, are re-
ported captured with Rodriguez. II
is said they were shot as bandits.
Rodriguez was charged in first re
ports with responsibility for the kill
ing of sixteen Americans and three
ether persons at San Ysabel, Monday.
Reports of Mexicans on the train, how
ever, say General Regina, Colonel Pa
bio Lopez and General Beltran led
the bandits.
The message from MADEIRA same
close upon the heels of report that
ten American men and two English
women had been killed at MADEIRA
watch is sixty miles west of San Ysa
bel, Chihuahua, where sixteen Amert
cans and three other persons were
killed by Villa bandits, Monday. One
of the women is said to be the wife
Of Captain Leftbridge, retired Brit
ish army officer, who, with a compan
ion, Mrs. Berry, had been staying
at Babricora ranch, William Ran
dolph Hearst property.
The report seemingly is descredited
however, as the telegraph operator at
MADEIRA has wired that no Americans
were killed at that place.
A rumor is being circulated to the
effect that three Americans were muir
dered in the Cananea district Of So
nora, near the Phelps-Dodge property
but this is also without confirmation.
It has been definitely established that
Bart Kramer, son Of an American
ranchman, was killed sixty miles west
CT San Ysabel.

LOSING A BASS DRUM.
A Feat That Can Be Performed In
More Than One Way.

"Now, don't you leave that bass drum
on the train when we get to the termi-
nal" said the conductor sharply as be
punched the ticket Of q stout colored
man who, with his drum, was squeezed
into the seat at the forward end Of the
smoking car of city bound local.
mo, indeed, boss, I sho' won't do
dat" responded the owner Of the drum
earnestly.
do many people leave bass drums
on these trainsT" asked q commuter as
the conductor reached for his ticket.
Its regular thing for that fell
low" replied the conductor testify.
He lives up near kosemere, and once
month he comes down to the city to
play in Il band. He doesn't need the
drum until evening, so to avoid carry
ing it around all day or paying for
checking it in the parcel room, he
leaves it on the train. Then along
about o'clock he calls for it at the
lost article room In the station"
When the train reached the city the
conductor left with the first of the pas
sengcrs. AS he approached the gate,
however. he thought of something he
had forgotten and turned quickly
toward his train, which was now al
most empty. AS he did so his face red
dened, his eyes snapped angrily and he
started on run for the steps of the
smoking car. from which the owner of
the bass drum, looking furtively from
right to left, was descending.
where's that bass drum Of yours?"
demanded the conductor as he rushed
| up to him.
well, doggone me, eff wasn't
| fo'gettin' dat drum again!' was the in
| nocent response. Il sho'ly thank you,
capn; I sho'ly do. Dey amt no danger
| o. de train movin' back eff goes into
| de kyar to git dat drum, Is dey?" he
| added.
'Ill hold the train here for an hour
| II necessary" replied the conductor,
"but get that drum out, and be quick
aboutity'
| A few minutes later the commuter
| saw the owner Of the drum sitting de-
| jectedly on one Of the benches in the
| station. AS the drum again reposed
| beside him. it seemed likely that for
| once at least the owner would have to
| carry it with him through The day or

AS the attendant handed the um-
brella out to him he heard voice over
