AMERICAN DOCUMENT TO CAR
RAMA WILL be IN NO UNMis-
TAXABLE TERMS.
TROOPS REMAIN IN MEXICO
Anti-American Feeling Being Stirred
Up In Durango-Funston Places
Artillery 10 Defend Pershing's
Communication Line.

Washington.-A sharp reply to Car
ranza's note will be drafted early this
week and probably sent forward be-
fore the Republican national conven-
tion adjourns.
Because of the political motives i'm
puted to the administration and the
expected attacks on President VIII
sons Mexican policy by Republicans,
it has been decided to couch the re-
ply In the most severe terms and in
dicate Enthusiastically that the Ameri-
can troops will not be withdrawn un-
til peaceful conditions prevail.
One official intimated that it would
be the strongest diplomatic document
yet drafted by the administration.
Information reaching the war de-
partment from a confidential source
is to the effect that Carranza and his
subordinates threaten to provoke a
clash with the American troops. De-
tails of the disposition Of all Mexican
troops near Gen. Pershing's forces
were also received.
It was explained that evidence of
an intended hostile movement by the
Mexicain commanders against Ameri-
can forces was the cause of Gen. Fun
ston concentrating the whole Sixth
Field Artillery with "a guns at Doug
las, Ariz. This force is expected to
protect the motor truck service line,
which it is believed would be one OF
the first objects of attack by Carranza
forces.
Much anti-American sentiment Is
being developed il the state or Du'
range, according to reports to the
state and war departments. There is
as yet no official confirmation OF the
report that Gen. Francisco Murgia,
military governor of the state of Du-
range, is melting the people to arms
against Americans. 1t is known that
intense feeling against Americans pre-
walls in that section and that there is
a systematic dissemination of anti
American sentiment throughout the
whole of Mexico.
Officials are inclined to give much
credit to reports from Southeastern
chihuahua that an attack on American
troops is being preached there.

the correspondents with Gen. Perish

much alive and as ambitious to make

that the bandit chieftain is in almost
constant communication with for

who is we'll known in the United
States. Relatives OF this man say an
open letter from Villa announcing his
future plans may be- expected soon.

HIGH SEA FLEET OF ENGLAND
CLASHES WITH GERMANS
OFF JUTLAND.
BRITISH LOSS is HEAVY
Heavier Tonnage Engaged and More
Tonnage Sunk Than in Any Pre-
vlous Naval Engagement in
Worlds History.

London.-Picking it's way from its
base in the Kiel Canal the German
high sea fleet on the afternoon OF
May 81 emerged into the North Sea,
and off the coast of Jutland engaged a
British fleet through the afternoon
and night in what was the biggest
naval hattie in the worlds history SO
far as tonnage engaged and tonnage
destroyed was concerned.
When the battle ended Great Brit
ain had lost the battle cruisers Queen
Mary, Indefatigable and Invincible,
the cruisers Defence, Black Prince
and Warrior and eight torpedo de-
stroyers, while the German battle
ship Pommern had been sent to the
bottom by a torpedo and the cruiser
Wiesbaden sunk by the British gun
fire. In addition several German tor
pedo craft were missing and the small
cruiser Frauenloeb had been seen
badly listed and was believed to have
gone to the bottom. These losses
have been admitted by Great Britain
and Germany.
Aside from Great Britain's conced-
ed losses Germany claims that the
British battleship Warspite, sister
ship of the Queen Elizabeth, and one
of the largest and most powerful ships
afloat had been sunk; that the battle
ship Marlborough, vessel of $4,000
tons, had been hit by torpedo and a
submarine had been destroyed.
Great Britain also added to Ger
many's acknowledged losses with the
claim that one dreadnought OF the
German kaiser ciass-yessels OF "a
70Ntons and carrying complement OF
1908 men-had been destroyed by
British torpedo craft; that another
battleship of the same class was be-
lieved to have been sunk by gunfire;
that one battle cruiser had been
blown up and two others damaged,
and that a submarine also had been
sent to the bottom.
Great Britain's admitted loss In tom
mage was 114,810 for the six battle
many, excluding the tonnage Of the
,Wiesenbaden, of which vessel there
is no record, was 1912. The tonnage
of the capital ships sunk by the Jap
anese IT. their fight with the Russians
in the battle of Tsunshima In May,
1905, aggregated $4,000. Twenty-one
Russian craft were destroyed in this
fight, including six battleships and
four cruisers. The remainder OF the
sunken craft comprised coast defense
and special service vessels and tor
pedo boats.
That the casualties in the fighting
off Jutland were heavy is indicated
by the fact that of the crew OF some
900 on board the Indefatigable only
two men are known to have been saw
ed. Full details of the fight, in which
Zeppelins are declared to have taken
part, are being gathered by the Brit
fsh admiralty, and pending their re-
