CAVALRY ATTEMPTS
. TO RESCUE DEEMER
FROM THE BANDITS

Marathon, Tex, May 18.-Reports
reaching here last night indicated that
Major George Langhorne and troops A
and B, Eighth cavalry, have again
dashed across the Rio Grande from
Boquillas In an effort to surprise the
bandits holding Jesse Deemer a pris-
pner.
r. r. Hasbrouck, an assayer em-
ployed with Boquillas mining con-
Germ, and now government scout, ar
rived here yesterday with messages for
John S. Chambers at Mara
EShon. He is said to have told personal
friends that Colonel Frederick w. Sib-
ley, in command of the Big Bend ex-
peditionary force. would order Major
Langhorne to reinvade Mexico, as 1t
was believed that negotiations for an
exchange of prisoners between Lang
horne and the bandits had fallen
through.
No news of the reported long range
parley between Major Langhorne and
the Mexican bandits for the release of
Deemer in exchange for the three
Mexican bandits captured recently, was
available Friday night.
Army men here are of the opinion
that If the stories of the socalled con-
ference between Langhorne and the
bandits are true, it must result in
failure. Deemer, II alive, must be
rescued by force, which must call for
a. zldden dash toward the place where
80 bandits are said to have their rem
|dezyous.

ENGLAND NOT YET
READY TO TALK OF
Terms OF PEACE
Lord Robert Cecil Says Ger
man Suggestion in Ameri-
can Note Does Not Offer
Basis for Negotiations.

London, May 13.-"The latest peace
overtures, said to be of German origin,
while not as insolent and impossible
as previous statements on the same
subject. certainly do not yet offer a
basis for negotiations" said Lord Rob-
ert Cecil. minister of war trade, in dis
cussing with the Associated Press the
latest reputed German peace terms.
Lord Robert continued:
We have never received. either Of
f1cially or unofficially, any direct peace
suggestions from Germany. and the
only indirect overtures we are aware
of appear in the speeches of Chancel-
lor Won Bethmann- Hoilweg and the re-
cent German note to America.
I'VE would not think of discussing
or even considering any overtures
without consulting our allies. No for
NAL or informal conference for this
purpose ever has taken place.
In diplomatic procedure a neutral
is hardly likely to make any sugges-
tion of peace terms unless certain they
are acceptable to the recipient.
IF Germany should decide to ap-
proach us through the medium Of the
United States, the latter would have
to use its own judgment as to whether
or not to deliver the request"
While disclaiming any knowledge OF
the internal condition of Germany,
Lord Robert declared that increasing
rumors of peace overtures indicate
there is some truth to the story that
the central powers are in desperate
straits.
