other battle with the Villistas, de-
was expected hourly today. After a

American detachment Is reported to
have resumed the chase With Dodd
closing in on their west, the bandits
are believed to be hemmed in by
other American forces at Providencia

the inaccessible mountain country

Willis who passed through here to

camp today, but picked force Of sew
eral hundred cavalrymen are far be-
low Namiquipa, keeping up the search
for the bandit leader.
That the United States must name
date for the withdrawal Of the ex-
pedition irrespective of the outcome
of the hunt for Villa, is understood to
be one Of the demands General Obre-
gon contemplates making at the COM
ing border conference with General
Scott. Among other demands Obre-
gon will make, according to Mexican
authorities, are:
The United States must agree not
to seize any Mexican railway.
The United States must not send
any additional troops into Mexico.

Premier Asquith's statement. He said
he wanted to assure the country that

THE HOLLAND FURRY


BERLIN (via wireless to Sayviile,
L. ~ April H.-The recent crisis In
Holland, when troons were mobiiize3
an preparations made for war, was
due to the fact that the British had
sunk a Dutch warshIp according to
reports brought here today.
This fact was concealed from both
the Dutch public and the Incident was
closed after England made suitable
apology and had promised indemni-
ties.
The Dutch newspaper De Tribune,
diseIoses for the first time, the rea-
son for the furry in Holland three
weeks ago. The newspaper declares
that the English sent the crew OF tho
Dutch warship to India to prevent the
news from becoming public and
arousins popular Indignation In Ho-
land.
De Tribune said it learned the facts
from a member Of tho crew Of the
Dutch steamer Breda. 1t was re-

and made to suffer certain incon
veniences, the nature Of which coule

No Official Report.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-The
state department was without word
today confirming the report that Alice
Mazaryk, once of Chicago, had been
executed in Austria. The department
after several days investigation had
found there was nothing this govern
ment could do to stay the threatened
execution.
Miss Mazaryk's case differed from
that of Edith Cavell in which the L.
S. government acted vigorously but
in the case of Miss Cavell the U. S.
minister acted for the British gov
ernment. whose interests he has had
to handle since the outbreak of the
war Miss Mazaryk was in her own
country. Appeals to the state depart
ment, it was said, could have no ef-
feet The only possible recourse OF
women in this country desiring to
help Miss Mazary, if the report Of
her death is not confirmed. is by ap-
peal to the Austrian government
through the Austrian embassy here.

HAGUE CONVENTION
COVERS MOST POINTS

WASHINGTON d. C.-In all prob.
ability Great Britain will have to es-
tablish a precedent for interference
with the mails of neutral countries by
a belligerent in time of war. Govern
ment officials here have failed to find
one which would serve as guide in
the controversy between Washington
and London over mail seizures.
AS fars as parcel post mail is con-
cerned. no difference has yet arisen
between the two governments. The
United States has not claimed that
parcel nnail b protected by The Hague
Conversion Of October Is, 1907, or by
the universal postal convention. On
the contrary. parcel mail is covered
by separat6 conventions with each
foreign country. Furthermore. parcel
mail is freight 70 all intents and pur-
poses and in time or war has no in
hefent right not enjoyed by other
classes Of freight.
contraband Under Seal.
While al governments regard the
seals on mail bags as inviolate, and
the breaking OF them is looked upon
as a most delicate matter. 1t can be
said With authority that the United
States will not stand back of its own
citizens or non-citizen aliens In this
country who may seek to protect con-
traband In the mails by sending II
first class under seal.
Under the universal postal conven.
tions and international usage patrons
OF the mails have no right to send
merchandise IN first class mail under
seal. The conventions limit merchan-
disc so mailed to samples. Anything
beyond sample must be sent by par
eel post and the first class mails do
not protect 1t.
There Is a question whether nego-
table securities do not properly be-
long under the head Of contraband.
since they can be converted into mon.
ey, which is generally regarded as
contraband. Therefore, should Great
Britain or any other belligerent seize
securities of or suspected OF enemy
origin or destination they probably
would be within their rights.
So far as Washington knows Off.
cially, Great Britain has not yet gone
beyond seizing parcel mail. despite
contrary reports, and her right to do
SO is conceded. II is known to Off
cials that the British authorities con.
template going much further. II the
seizure of first class mail is limited
to packages sent in that way to evade

tined for enemy countries the United
States viii have little ground to COM

by American officials. 1t is specifi-
cally covered by The Hague Conven'
tion Of 1907.
