Presidio, Texas, May 30.--Francisco Villa tonight holds border fort op- posite an American town and again United States troops are patrolling the border, while Villa cavalrymen are on the southern bank of the Rio Grande.

 Only handful of government forces occupied the town, General Figueroa, General Garcia and Colonel Riojas having gone out Sunday night to engage Villa, then encamped at Lamula Pass, 8 miles south of the border. These forces were expected to return tonight and make an effort to drive the Villa troops from the town.
 Fifty of the government force of 75 men left in Ojinaga escaped across the river to Presidio. Women and children followed, carrying babies and bundles. Of the 25 government SOL diers remaining, 16 were killed dur ing the fighting, six were made pris- oners, and the others were wounded.

HIGH DIVER nURT; DEATH MAY FOLLOW
 EXHIBITION HERE
High Wind Causes Accident When Man Essays to Dive
 From Free Bridge.

David Foley, a white man, aged about 30 years, lies in a critical con- dition, as result of an accident about four o'clock yesterday after noon, when he attempted to dive into the Arkansas river from the top Of one of the piers of the free bridge.
 A strong wind was blowing when the hour arrived for Foley to make the dive. The affair had been widely advertised, and there was big crowd present to watch Foley "pull off" the stunt He was urged to wait until the wind died down, by some of the spectators, but decided to carry through the performance according to the schedule. "*H~aY
 Foley's boise was excellent, as he started the dive. As lis body dove downward, and passed the wagon road of the bridge, it was caught in the swirling, shifting currents of heavy wind, and the equilibrium was lost. the man striking the water flat on his back.
 Spectators quickly had Foley on the bank, and physician was summon ed, who rendered first aid and order ed Foley taken to a hospital. It was stated last night that it is impossible at this time to accurately gauge the full extent of the mans injuries, but that undoubtedly he is in a critical condition, with little chance for re- covery.
 Little could be learned about Foley, last night. He is said to be making crop about mile above the free bridge, and to have come here from some point in Indiana. Efforts to learn from him something about his relatives were delayed because of his condition.
 The dive from the free bridge was arranged some time ago at Foley's own suggestion, 1t was said, the man having had experience in such work, and seeing an opportunity to pick up some extra money by staging such a performance.

Italians Continue Progress Toward Triest, Again
 Cutting Lines.
RUSSIANS SHOWING
 SIGNS OF ACTIVITY
Battling With TeutOnic Forces in Eastern Galicia in More Lively Man. ner Than for Many Months
 Activities in Rumania Reported.
Associated Press Summary.)

The battle front from Gorizia southward toward the head of the gulf of Triest remains the only theater where for the moment hard fighting is in progress Even here, however, the intensity which characterized the operations last week is lacking
 On the front in France, where Field Marshal Haig's forces are facing the Germans, operations by neither side have risen above minor attacks for several days, consisting mainly of ac tions by small raiding parties and moderate artillery duels
 Wednesday also passed with small infantry engagements between the French and Germans, although their respective guns took part in artil lery duels to the south of St. Quentin and the Champagne.
 The Russians and Austrians in the eastern theater are fighting in more lively fashion than has been the case for months. This is particularly true in East Galicia, where several days ago the Russians began an offensive.
 As yet, the Petrograd war office has made no comment on the situa tion as it now exists in this region nor has the Austrian official com- muncation given any idea as to tho extent of the hostilities or informa- ton of the exact plece where the fighting is going on.
 The anticipated commencement ,f hostilities by the Russ lans and ROu- manians in Roumania has not been realized.
 Between Jamiano and the head of the gulf of Triest, the Italians have again cut into the Austrian lines. ana occupied positions west of Megeazze, thereby bringing their right wing closer to Duina, and the railway leading to Triest.
 The Austrian war office reports a repulse of Italian attacks near Jamiano, while similar claim s made by Rome for the Italians win regard to Austrian attacks on the Julian front to the north.
 The weekly report of British ves- sells sunk by submarines shows that IS vessels of over 1,600 tons, the same number as reported the previous week, went to the bottom, but that only one vessel of less than 1,600 tons met with disaster, a decrease of eight over the previous week.
 In addition to the unsettled politi- cal situation in Russia, the latest phase of which is a reiteration by organs of the soldiers and workmens s delegates of the policy of no indem- mites or territorial aggrandizement. Russia is facing a serious economic situation.
 The food ministers have informed congress of delegates that wheat shipments are still far from normal, that peasants were suspicious of paper money, and that the iron sup ply is far short of the requirements of the munitions factories. Unless great sacrifices are mace by the peo- pie, Russia will be on the evo of a catastrophe, they announced.

GERMANS NOW USE FISKE INVENTION
 TO DESTROY SHIPS
Aero Club of America Has Evidence Admirals Plan
 Been Appropriated.

Washington, May 30.-Both branch es of congress will resume work to- morrow, determined to make vigorous drive on war legislation.
 With food and revenue legislation up in the senate, the house will re- open the contest over newspaper censorship, taking up the question of adopting the espionage bill confer ence report, including the new com- promise censorship clause.
 Legislative machinery will halt for while in the senate for the re- ception of the Italian mission, the Prince Udine having accepted an in- vitation to address the senate and to deliver King Victor Emmanuel's let ter to the American public.
