Twelfth Day Of Great Russian
Offensive Brings Fresh

EVACUATED. RUM0R
Semi-officiaI AdviceS From

t,y uors,ss JOURNAL sese,.l LEASED w,.si

The twelfth day OF the Russian Of
fensive against Austrian and Ger
mans from Volhynla TO Bukowina
shows nowhere any signs of slacken-
ing. All along the front fresh gains
for Russian troops and the capture Of
thousands of additional prisoners and
of guns, machine guns and war sup
plies are claimed by the Russians
The number of prisoners now exceeds
10000.
While semi official advices from
Petrograd give a report that the Aus
trians have evacuated Czernowitz,
capital of Bukowina, the latest offic-
ial communication from Austrian
headquarters says the troops of En-
peror Francis Joseph are making a
stand north and east of the city and
at both points have repulsed Russian
attacks.
Austrlans Counter
In the drive westward from the re-
gion of Lutsk the Austrians are coun-
ter-attacking or entrenehing them
selves in new positions for a stand
against the Russians.
No report of gains of either side in
Galicia in the region of Tarnopol have
come through. Here apparently there
is still deadlock between the Rus
slams and the Austrians and Germans.
Russians Elected.
ON the German end of the north
ern front in Russia the Russians near
Baranoyichi attacked and carried
German trenches 1T later were fore
ed TO give them us under strong pres
sure .bv the Germans. Infantry at
tacks by the Germans have occurred
along the Dvina river and in the lake
region south of Dvinsk, but all OF
these were repulsed according to
Petrograd.
The French on the slopes south of
lie Mort Homme. northwest of Yer
dun, have attacked and captured n
German trench. The Germans are
still violently bombarding the sectors
OF Thiaumont and Fort Souville,
northeas. of Verdun, probably pre-
paratory to another infantry attack
with the hope of a further advance
toward the fortress. Only artillery
activity is in progress on the remand
er of the front In France and Bel
gium.
Italians Take Positions.
The fighting on the Austro-ltalian
line in Tyrol seemingly has died down
in violence, only in artillery bonn
bardments and small infantry en-
gagements having been reported. To
the cast of Monfalcone, which lies a
short distance from the head of the
Gulf of Trieste, the Italians have cap
tured Austrian positions and taken
prisoner 49S officers and men.
Near Felahie on the Tigris river. the
Turks have repulsed an attempt of the
British to advance, according to Con-
stantnople. The annihilation of 400
British troops on the Euphrates sec
tor also is reported by the Turkish
war office. Persian volunteers are
declared to be attacking the Russians
near the Persian border inflicting
heavy losses.

AMERICAN MAJOR
SEEKS HOT TRAIL

San Antonio, June 15.--Luis De la
Rosa made good his threat to raid the
border when 100 of his men attacked
a small detachment of the Fourteenth
American cavalry. numbering about
eighty men, at San Ignacio, forty
miles southeast of Laredo. His ac-
tion cost him eight men killed, sew
eral wounded and many horses and
some equipment. The American loss
was three killed and six wounded.
Major Alonzo Gray late today was
using every man of his little command
in a sweeping search of the country
about San Ignacio for a hot trail"
1f it is discovered a third punitive
axpedition" will enter Mexico, but at
department headquarters General
Funston and his staff have little hope
that Major Gray will be cable to get
into touch with the band by day
light this morning the attacking force
had scattered like quail. The larger
part re-entered Mexico but some of
them at least scattered along the
brush covered country on the Amer
lean side.
Fight From Trenches.
The Americans fought from
trenches into which they were order
gan. When they moved out and be-
gan the offensive the Mexicans were
gone.

Major Gray reported that he had
been in communication with detach-
ment of Carranza troops on the Mex
lean side of the river and that It's OF
ficer commanding had informed him
that his men already had run down
and shot four of the bandits. Major
GRAY made no comment on the offl-
GERS statement.
The identity of the raiding party
was established by the story of VI
eente Lira, who entered the American
camp several hours after the fight
and announced that he had been a
prisoner of the MeXicans.
The name of the raiders leader mas

of one of the MeXicans papers were

Laredo. TEX, June 15.-One hun

of here. 'prly today attacked the
American l. 1ordar patrol near San lg-
naeio, k }lbs.Ag three and wounding six,
ancordl }ng to reports sent TO Fort Nc
lntoshF here over the field telephone.
The Mexicans expected to find an
insignificant detachment of Ameri-
cans. Instead, they were met by
Troops | and NJ of the Fourteenth
cavalry, 140 strong, under Mai. Alonzo
Gray. They were hurled back across
the river. losing six dead and several
wounded
Rcinforcemcnts Rush to Scene.
The bandits first attacked TroopM.
Trop |, short distance up the river,
heard the shooting and hurried TO the
scene The attackers lost heart and
retreated southwark along the river
keeping on the American side for
some distance before crossing back TO
Mexican soil
The attack began at a. m and the
fighting lasted about thirty minutes.
A bright moon lighted the scene. The
Mexicans attacked the rear of the
patrols camp, firing the first shot at
a sentry.
The names of the soldiers killed
were not reported to military head
quarters at Fort Mcintosh for the
reason that Immediately after the al
tack the two troops of cavalry start
ed in pursuit of the MeXicans.
Pursuit Is Likely.
1t was taken for granted here that
Major Gray would pursue the bandits
until they crossed into Mexico, and
that 1t would not be surprising If the
Americans should follow the not
rail' across the river
1t was impossible to learn anything
Of the identity OF the MeXicans here
other than they We're merely ban
dts, Those killed and wounded
were dressed in peon garb, but were
exceptionally well armed.
Other troops of cavalry have been
ordered in readiness to proceed to the
san lgnacio section, either to assist or
to relieve Major Gray's command.
Word reached here later that one
of the wounded American soldiers
shot through the head had died. The
latest information says that eight or
me Mexican raiders were killed and
iorty-two horses captured in the pur-
suit. Colonel Brown has requested
county officials to warn all Mexieans
on ranches near here to get away
from the river.
