aster from a mine or submarine.
Two Americans are known to have
been injured seriously by the ex-
plosion. Miss Elizabeth Baldwin, the

Ambassador Sharp at Paris trans
mitted report from the American
coEsul at Dieppe saying the Sussex
was torpedoed.
Miss Alice Ruiz of Lyons, Colorado,
is one of the survivors of the disaster.
Sixty to eighty persons were wound
ed or killed by the explosion. The am
bassador added that the ship had been
towed to Boulogne and $50 persons
landed.
There were six Americans among
the seventy survivors of the Sussex,
who reached Dover on British de-
stroyer. The majority of the sur
vivors agree with the opinion Of the
French admiralty that the Sussex was
torpedoed by a submarine.
1t is estimated officially that the
loss of life will reach fifty These
were either killed by the explosion or
drowned when one of the lifeboats
capsized. Two passengers-a man

Asks Abou. rorpedoing OF Sussex.

Washingtcn.-The United States
has inquired of Germany, through Am
bassador Gerard, whether any of its
submarines torpedoed the British
channel steamer Sussex. Secretary
Lansing announced after the cabinet
meeting that it lad been decided to
make such an inquiry, and later it
was learned that the inquiry had been
made, and in fact probably is already
in Berlin. The present status of the
communication is that of an inquiry
it has not advanced to the stage of a
protest or demand.

Monterey. Mex, March 2S.-A spe-
cial train from Torreon. bringing wo-
men and children of the American col
ony, passed through here Saturday
night. The women were seated on
the floor of a box car, protected by a
barrier of trunks The guard on the
train engaged in running fight with
a large band of villistas. who rode
alongside for several miles from Pre-
venci to Santo Nino. Wires were cut
on both sides and attempts made to
burn the bridges.
San Antonio, Tex, March 2S.-Villa
has escaped the Mexican troops near
Namiquipa, and three columns OF
American cavalry are chasing him.
The Americans are $50 miles from
made by Gen. Pershing to Gen. Funs
ton Sunday
Gen. Funston forwarded the report
to Washington without making public
any but the essential features. Col.
Dodd is commanding the advanced
columns that are riding hard after
Villa and his men, and Gen. Pershins
has divided his forces so as to pro
vide supporting columns along the
thinly stretched line of communica-
tion from his most advanced base at
El Vale.
From El Vale another line is being
maintained back to Casas Grandes,
from where communication with the
border is maintained.
Gen. Pershing himself is somewhere
south of Casas-Grandes directing the
and directing, as far as possible. the
operations of Col. Dodd. Cavalry is
being used along the lines commune
eating with IIl Vale, where a detact-
ment Of infantry is stationed.
Three aeroplanes are at El Vale
and will be used in scouting, as In
the high winds that have been sweep
ing that part of Mexico for almost !
week subsided, which, according tt
Gen. Pershing, made effective assist
ance by them impossible. OF tho
eight machines that went into Mexico
two are still out of commission. They
were damaged in the flights from Co
lumbus to Casas Grandes.
Details of the operations about Ma
miquipa that concluded with the es
cape of Villa were not revealed, bu
there is little reason to believe tha
he was even weakened by the fight
| ing directed against him by the d;
| facto government troops.
Reports last week from Mexican
sources indicated that he had beer
severely defeated. No Americans
we're engaged, and the fact that VIII
made his getaway through what wa
| described as an encircling line o
Mexican troops was taken to indicat'
that he was the victor.
Unless fresh Mexican forces ar
sent to meet Villa there appears NJ
reason why he should not make hi
way uninterrupted into the mountain
of the Guerrero district, toward
which he appears to be moving.
News from Del Rio, Tex, is that in
creased uneasiness is felt in that sec
tion because of persistent rumor
that 1000 Mexican soldiers are mobi
lized within so miles of the border.

El Paso. Tex. March 29.-Dis-
patches from the front interpreted in
connection with news brought here by
Americans returning from different
points in the interior of Chihuahua,
caused a belief that Pancho Villa was
headed for San Adres, about twenty
five miles southwest of chihuahua
City, favorite headquarters of the
bandit. He is believed to be already
not less than fifty miles ahead of his
pursuers.
If Villa is able to effect a junction
with Canuto Reyes around Parral and
Torreon the problem of his cxtermina
tion will have become a very serious
one, as he will then be abba to control
several thousands of soldiers. who,
! split into guerilla bands, might be
able to keep up a desultory mountain

IF you love me, vote for Hughes"
is an injunction that proved too hard
q strain on the liking that the 10000
miners of the Wilkes-Barre district
once had for Colonel Roosevelt. He
tried it on them, in what was intended
to be the biggest labor meeting of the
Hughes campaign, and the result was
q frost. .-..
Not only did the crowd listen to the
Coloneps speech in stony silence, but
Wilson enthusiasm threatened to be-
come so boisterous that Mayor Kosek
called out the State Constabulary to
guarantee Mr.. Roosevelt courteous
reception. The Mayor had denied the
miners a permit to give a Wilson pa
rade on the night of the Colonels WIS.,
1t, and, when they attempted to violate
his order. directed the armed and
mounted Constabulary to drive them
from the streets.
Colonel Roosevelt's closest friend in
Wilkes-Barre, Father J. j. Curran.
went out with a reception committee
to meet the visitor, but announced that,
friendship aside, he had left the Re-
publican party. and was supporting
President Wilson.
Another indication of the popular
trend in the anthracite coal region Is

convention in 1912.
