SLAV ENVOY WILL
CONFER WITH JAPS
tBy United Press Leased Wire.D

tBy United Press Leased Wire.)
San Francisco, Jan. IA con-
clave. perhaps of vast import in its
effect on the outcome of the Euro
pean war, is slated for Toxic within
a few days,
This was revealed today when
Francisco Ortes. Argentine minister
to Japan, arrived here on a Japanese
liner. Participating in the confer
ence will be the mikado, the Russian
special envoy, Duke 'Miklovitch, and
British envoy. Presumably their
session will be to seek a broader par
ticipation by Japan in the struggle.
The duke already is in Toxic, os-
tensibly to carry the congratulations
of Gear Nicholas to the mikado. But
Ortes intimated that this is merely
pSIluuOtOlSb anu ludt, iuotSdus uiS
presence in Japan is fraught with
significance.
Inasmuch as there has been some
talk Of a German-Japanese alliance
after the present war, and as it is
known Japan has been exceedingly
courteous to German war prisoners,
there is a hint in some quarters that
the entente allies are angling to pre-
vent such a combination.
Still another suggestion is that the
recent torpedoing of Japanese steam
ers In the Mediterranean may be con-
sidered and that means may be taken
to combat such incidents in the
future.
In connection with the suggestion
that the entente may desire to thwart
a possible German-Japanese alliance.
1t Is recalled that Lord Northcliffe Of
England, In an article for the United
Press recently. hinted at the possibil-
ity thereof. War experts, too, have
had this situation In mind, so It is
regarded as possible that this. In fact,
Is the crux OF the situation at Toxic.

CARRANzA IS
ON TRAIL Of
BANDITS
Head Of the Mexican Govern
ment Says That Murderers
Of American Party Will
Meet"C "Condign' Punishment

Washington, Jan. 14.-General
Carranza today sent a message to
Mexican Ambassador Arredondo that
the murderers OF the American party
in chihuahua are being pursued, and
that they will meet condign pun
ishment."
From this message the admins
tration saw substantiation OF its view
that Carranza is doing all he can to
meet American demands and to
guard against occurrences OF the
Santa Ysabel massacres. In these
circumstances the government is in
clined to await developments. And,
as indicated by Senator Stone today.
the administration has no intention
of now hampering Carranza's efforts
by engaging in Intervention.
Carranza's message read:
"The murderous attack on a pas
senger train near Chihuahua City
was made by the only remaining band
OF outlaws in that region. 1t Is being
actively pursued in order to insure
capture. whereupon the condign pun
ishment which the crime deserves
will be meted out to every guilty
participant. Constitutionalist troops
have been ordered to establish strong
patrols from end to end of the rail-
way line in order to forfend against
similar outrages.
"You will make this declaration
to the press OF the United States"

Further Trouble Is Anticipated
in Border City Where Anger
Is AT White Heat Over
Murders in Mexico

III Paso, Jan. 14.--Expecting re-
currence tonight OF the anti-Mexican
rioting that shook the city last night,
military officials this afternoon made
all preparations to meet II.
A provost guard OF ESQ infantry
men patrolled the Mexican quarter
and cavalrymen with loaded revolv-
ers and rifles were held in readiness
to enter the downtown streets before
dark, though their presence during
the day had been unnecessary.
As special precaution against
trouble. General Pershing, command
er here. prohibited the holding of a
mass meeting in Cleveland square
this afternoon. at which Ex-Governor
Curry OF New Mexico. former men,
ber OF congress and once a member
OF Roosevelt's roughriders. was to
have been the principal speaker. The
meeting was called as q result OF the
massacre OF Is Americans Monday
and authorities feared II might cause
q wild incendiary outburst among the
already high-strung populace.
The reported arrest OF General
Rodriguez. a villista bandit leader
at MADEIRA, was vouched for only by
the local Carranza council.
The reported massacre OF IL Amer
leans at MADEIRA was discredited.
While the city was quiet today. the
people were decidedly nervous" over
what the night might bring. Indigna-
tion at the Santa Ysabel murders had
not abated; in fact, It was famed by
city full Of American mining men
and cattlement driven out OF Mexico,
who bitterly condemn the administra-
tion's "watchful waiting" policy of
Inactivity.
The martial law regulations that
prevailed in the city last night dur
Ing the anti-Mexican outbreak were
slightly relaxed today, though with
the provost guard on duty in the
Mexican quarter most OF the denizens
of that section remained within doors,
terrorized, fearing to run afoul Of

SURRENDERS

King Nicholas Agrees to a
Truce With Invaders When
Capital City Of Cettinje Is
About to Be Devastated

Rome, Jan. 14.-Montenegro's va
liant fight against Austrian odds is
at an end.
Austrian artillery was trained on
Cettinje, the ancient capital Of the
kingdom, with gunners waiting only
a signal to lay the city in ruins, when
King Nicholas agreed to an armistice
which virtually eliminated Monte
negro from the war.
The sovereign wept as he agreed
to a truce that probably means COM
plete surrender. He called together
his commanders and expressed will
ingness to take to- the mountains and
to fight the invaders to the very end,
but they persuaded him that continu-
ance Of the struggle. unaided, meant
eventually more misery than Serbia
or Belgium suffered at the hands Of
Teuton foemen.
Formal negotiations for surrender
Of the half-starved and poorly equip
ped little army are expected to begin
Immediately. While no definite
period has been set for continuance
Of the armistice. 1t is believed that
q tentative peace will be arranged
before the end of the month.
Italian military officials believe
that thousands of Montenegrins will
reject such an outcome and instead
retire to their mountain Businesses,
there to wage a guerilla warfare.
Though the Montenegrin legation
today had no confirmation of the re-
port that General Koevess and King
Nicholas had signed truce. they in
clined to believe the report. The
foreign Office here, too, was without
confirmation.
There was no criticism of King
Nicholas course. Instead, on every
hand there was commentator Of his
