Late tonight the police said that there might have been 30 men engaged in the attack, deployed at intervals of more than 200 yards. One sniper with revolver fired from an ivy-covered tree.
 The viceroy had with. him only four armed policemen These men had orders not to leave the viceroy, no matter what happened. Accordingly, they were unable to pursue the attacking party.

porter of coal and coke, the annual tonnage amounting to about 2,50O,0OO tons, about 90 per cent of which came from the United Kingdom, and 10 per cent from the United States. During the war importations from the United King dom dropped to about one-tenth of the pre-war tonnage, due to lack of shipping, shortage of coal for home use in British and export restrictions.
 In the same period importations from the United States trebled, rising from 239,092'tons in 1914 to 760,813 tons in 1917 It declined in 1918 to 627, 594 tons because of an agreement by which fixed amount was to be supplied to her that year, chiefly by the United States
 The United States shipping board states that owing to shortage of coal in Great Britain for export purposes that country may not be able to resume it's for mer position in the Brazilian coal trade and the supply may come increasingly from the United States. It adds that American Repositories for coal in Brazil are lacking.
 The report states that the great de- mand for meat and dairy products during the war caused marked increases in our exports of wire and tin plate to Brazil to provide for the requirements of her newly developed cattle-raising and meat-pack- ing industries. Exports of railway track material and machinery declined 66,000 tons during the war, making total de- cline in iron and steel products exports from 107, 820 long tons in 1914 to "A, 221 long tons in 1918. As a consequence, it is stated, Brazil is greatly in need of iron and steel for her railways and new indus tries.
 The market for iron and steel in Ell- rope, the report adds, has proved less ac- tive than was generally anticipated, which may enable Brazil to increase her purchases of these product from the United States.
 Importations of hydraulic cement into Brazil from the United States increased from 27, ,496 long tons in 1914 to 73,281 long tons in 1918, which, the report states, has only partly offset the larger pre-war amounts furnished to that country chiefly by Germany, Austria and Belgium. As a result there is shortage of cement in Brazil and it is probable that shipments from this country will continue to be large.
 Average shipments of hydraulic ce- ment from the United States to Brazil from 1915 to 1917 were nearly 53,O00 tons.
 Exports of breadstuffs to Brazil during the war decreased from 66,206 long tons to 10,456 long tone, the losses being chiefly in wheat and flour.

From "The New York Times.

In the reports from Hungary,
so obviously inspired simulta-
neously and from closely related
sources,a certain allowance must
be made. for fury and the intent
to deceive. The ''enormous Red
Armies waiting in Galicia and
the Ukraine to join their Hung
arian friends will probably
shrink considerably before they
ever come into action, and it
remains to be seen how far the
Magyars are willing to let their
own country go to pieces by way
of revenge on their enemies. It
would appear that the Magyars
are trying a huge bluff, but a
bluff which they may very carry
through, and if they obtain even
measure of success it will not
be long before we see the Ger
mans following their example.

STATEMENT BY MR.. JOHN
FALL,
Secretary Porto Rican Produ-
GERS Committee,
Owing to the strike i'll Cuba,
about $4,000 tons of sugar were
delayed in loading for week,
so that about 100000 tons were
loaded in Cuba in the following
week, making great congestion
in New York, and the refiners
found themselves without room
to take care of sugars for the
next three weeks. They arrang-
ed with difficulty to take care OF
sugar for Gel Captain" and the
"Helen" the shippers agreeing
to pay Gghterage and to take
payment ten days from average
discharge from lighters.
They found themselves unable
TO handle the sugars by the
"Cornelia" and "Brazos" but all
other sugars for shipment in
the first half of April were taken
care of.
It is expected that by the end
of the month the situation will
be relieved and the refiners are
doing their best to help out, but
having no room at the refineries
they thought impossible to pro-
vide docks for these different
cargoes bound for new York.

Paris Orient Line to

Part of the. Train Service
Through NOn-TeutOn Countries
Starts April Is.

Paris, March 26.-The opera
ton of through trains between
Paris and the Orient will begin
over part Of the line on April Is,
and the whole system will be
inaugurated by May 1, accord
ing to an official statement
issued by the Commission on
the Internationa Regime Of
Ports, Waerways, and Railways
to night. The statement read:
"The Commission on the In
ternational Regime of Ports,
Waterways, and Railways met
this afternoon at 3 O'Clock at
the Ministry of Public Works.
The commission heard repre-
sentatives of the Dutch Gov
ernment in regard to plans for
the navigation of the Rhine,
The Dutch point of view was
presented by w. j. M. Van
Eysinga, Professor at the Uni
versity of Leyden.
The Dutch legation having re-
tired, M. Clavelle, French Minis
ter of Public Works, reported to
the Commission the protocol
conveying to the representati-
yes Of the interested nations a
new transportation agreement,
designed to assure relations be-
| tween England. France, and
Italy, and to secure a route to
the Orient by railroad without
passing through territories of
the Central Empires. TO this
end a train de luxe, to be called
the Simplon-Orient Express,
will be run between Paris and
the Orient via Lausanne, Sim
plion, Milan, Venice, Triest, Lai-
bach, Agram, and Vinkovce. AT
Vinkovce the road will divide
one branch connecting with Blu,
charest, Constance, and Odessa
and the other with Belgrade
Constantinople, and Athens. The
train will connect at Paris with
the London-Calais-Paris trair
and at Milan with a fast train
of Rome.
"Part of this programa will
be put into operation commen'
cling April Is, and the other part
beginning May 1.

grandiloquently puts it, they ap-
peal from the, Peace Conference
to the proletariat of the world.
The Peace Conference is afraid
of Bolshevism, and it has not
known what to do with BOlshe-
vism in Russia. The Magyars
hope to frighten the Conference
into letting them keep the. Slo-
yak counties and Pennsylvania,
perhaps Croatia and Slavonia
and the Banat.
The reports that the Polish
Army is at last to be sent to
Roland, that the Czechoslovaks
are preparing to defend their
frontier, that monitors are going
up the Danube, are indications
that perhaps this time the con
ference is going to do something.

threats of war do not pay.

The bill was drafted by Frank

conviction shall be punished i'll
the same manner and amount as
metioned above.
In addition to all this the ''per-

the rights enumerated in the bill
will also be liable to civil DANA

the measure also will be disqua

Mr.. r. Aboy Benitez,
San Juan, P. r.
Dear Sir:
We are very sorry to report
that the ports of Philadelphia,
Boston and New York are over
supplied with Porto Rican SUI
gars and we have today been
officially requested by the Uni
ted States Sugar Equalization
Board, to retard the movement
of Porto Rican sugars to the
above mentioned ports as much
as possible. In fact, they have
asked us to refrain from bring
ing in sugar to the port Of New
York for the next two weeks, II
possible to do So, This you will
note, is the direct contrary to
the pressure which has recently
been brought to bear by the
Porto Rican Producers, in which
they were anxious to increase
shipments rather than to dlml-
nish them, thus putting us, as
you will clearly see, directly be
tween two fires one pressing Tor
increased shipment and the
other pressing with equal vigor
for reduced shipment.
We take it for granted that
you have been cabled by various
Porto Rican agencies here re-
garding the present condition
and also in regard to the reluc-
tance of the United States Su-
gar Equalization Board to pur-
chase Porto Rican sugars during
the next few weeks.

just how the matter will termi.
