porrrio m DIED ID PARIS FORMER PRESIDENT OP MEXICO DIED PROM A COMPLICATION OP DISEAEE8. WAS SICK FOR SOME TIME . Had Ih? Sick Per Three Week* Wife and Son With Him Daugh ters Arc In Mexico. Parts.?Gen. Porfiroj Diaz, formei president of Mexico, died here. General Diaz's wife, Senora Carmen Romero Rubias and their eon PorfLro Diaz, Jr., and the letter's wife were by his side when the end came. General Dlas began to fall rapidly ?bout three weeks ago and while his death was not unexpected, owing to his advanced age and recent tailing health the crisis came suddenly. Por flro Diaz, Jr., and his wife were hasti ly summoned and arrived at the bed side only a few minutes before the end. Colonel Diaz, In announcing the death of hie father, said that he. was unable to state the nature of the malady, but expressed the opinion that a complication of diseases due to ad vanced age was the cause. Two tragic ciroamstances marked the death of the exiled ruler. Owing to the troubled state in Mexico it has been fudged Impossible to send the body home with all the ceremony which would have befitted one of the figures of Mexican history, and further. Col. Porfirlo Dlas, Jr., has tried In vain to Inform his sisters. Senora Ignaclo de La Torre and Senora Rlncoln Oellardo, now In Mexico, of their father's death. No lees tragic, perhaps, la the fact that not one of those whom General Dies raised up as his assistants In governing Mexico and who pprospered and grew rich in the shadow of his greatness were with htm when hs died. Jose Yves de La Montour, form er Mexican mlniater of Finance, la In London; Francisco de la Barra. former giro visional president of Mexico end holder of other important positions and OulUermo de Lands, former governor of the federal district In Mexico, are In Biarritz, France. Scarcely any one outside of the family knew of the se riousness of General Diss's Illness or that he was In Paris. The end seems to have been due to failure of tbe heart, weakened by an attack of grippe last year. This Illness left tbe aged exile blind. Nevertheless, he walked dally last spring In the Bois de Boulogne, ?which he loved because It resembled the Cfaepatnpec in Mexico City. He had been hoping to go to Biarritz zhort ly but Illness prevented. Will Protest Ovsr Mliute of U 8. Flag Washington?Representations con cerning the misuse of American flags by British merchantmen will be includ ed in the general note whlqh the Uni ted States Intends soon to send to Great Britain covering restraints of American commerce in connection with the socalled blockade. Secretary Lan sing disclosed that the investigation (wing conducted by the United States government into cases of alleged mis use of the American flag to deceive German submarine commanders had not yet been completed but that evi dence in specific oases probably would he called squarely to the attention of Great Britain while the general sub ject would be included in the new note. Greece Would Claim Part of Albania Home,via Paris?A Tribune dispatch from Antlrarl, Montenegro, says two targe Greek "bands are advancing to ward Beret, occupying villages along the way. This dispatch is the first Indication that Greece Intends to claim a sec tion of Albania. Albania was eetaib liehhed after the Balkan wars and borders on that part of Greece which was awarded her after the defeat of Turkey. Albania already has been In vaded by Serbian and Montenegrin troops while Italian forces hare been stationed there for some time.. Consider Relief Measures Waehlngton-^-Relief measures for Mexico City are occupying largely the attention of officials of the Washing ton government. Both President Wil son at Cornish. N. H., and Secretary (Lansing In Washington have under consideration relief plans for the Mex ican capital. The relief measures in cluded efforts to obtain Carransa's consent for shipment of supplies Into Mexico City through neutral agencies and removal of foreigners from danger sones through the influence of the diplomatic corps. Will Keep' Huerta Out of Mexico Washington ? General Victortano Huerta. former dictator of Mexico, whoee defiance of President Wilson led to the selture of Vera Crux, will not be permitted to enter Mexico from the United States at a time wlipn his presence would be a further menace to the plans of this government to re store peace. Determination to keep Hnerta from crossing the southern bor der and thus complicating the present Mexican situation has reached a point where four ways of detaining the form ?ehteftain were under consideration. Germans Would Force Way to Verdun Pari*?The German attacks In the Argonne by an entire army corps with the object of breaking through to Ver dun, wilt ha repeated according to Lieutenant Colonel Rouse t, He asserts euccesalre checks hare not discourag ed the Germans and thai they will continue their efforts. nfetee&ant Col onel Ronseet and others agree, how erer. that the French forces have made such preparations aa to' tenure the failur* of all efforts on the part of the crown prteee's army to gain control of <hls hilly forest region. CAPT. ALBERT W. GRANT ESI Capt. Albert W. Grant haa been ap pointed commander of the eubmarlne branch of the United Statee navy with Inetructlona to bring It up to the hlgheet poealble etandard of con etruction and efficiency. OPPOSES HUERTA REGIME r VISITS WASHINGTON AND HAS TALK WITH GENERAL SCOTT ABOUT CONDITIONS. Angeles Bays He Will Report to Gen eral Villa When Miaelon to United Statee Is Completed. Washington.?Gen. Felipe Angeles, rlghthand man of Gen. Francisco Villa, came to Washington to deny Intima tions that he was involved In the act ivities of Vlctoriano Huerta and his associates and at the same time to learn the sentiment of officials to ward the Mexican problem. The general Issued a statement say ing he was opposed to Huerta and all that he represented in Mexico poli tics and that after a brief stay here would go to Sonora on a private mis sion for General Villa, returning afterwards to the battle front to re main with bis chief. Department of Justice officials had no additional details concerning the oharges and evidence on which Gen erals Huerta and Oroxco were arrest ed at El Paso. They expressed the opinion, however, that the arrests al ready had a wholesome effect In pre venting the launching of a new Mexi can revolutionary movement General Angsles wishes to talk with President Wilson. He was not direct ed by Villa to do so, he said, but .is anxious to learn Just what Mexican policy ths United States intends to pursue. General Angeles agrees with President Wilson's recent statement that the various elements must come to an understanding. He told friends that he and General Villa would sup port for the provisional presidency an/ capable man who represents the principles and ideals for which the revolution has been fought. Major General Scott, Chief of Staff of the United States Army, was the only official on whom General Angeles called. Enrique C. Llorente, Villa's Washington representative, acted as Interpreter. Angeles brought a letter of introduction from General Villa to General Scott. The contents op the letter were not disclosed but It was understood to have showed clearly that Generals Villa and Angeles are not at odds. ji_ . ASQUITH URGES ECONOMY. Nicunry for People of Britain to Finance Great War. London.?Penny-wise economy here tofore has not been a strong feature of the gatherings at Guild Hall,'so close ly connected with aldermanlc ban quets of proverbial opolence, but Premier Asqulth chose this home of wealth to initiate a movement in sup port of the British war loan. He urged personal thrift throughout the nation so as to make it possible for the country to bear the strain of the expenditure of $16,000,000 daily ~n tailed by the cost of the war. As if to give the campaign a good send-off the first really big subscrip tion to the war loan was announced simultaneously with the appearance Of Premier Asquith on the platform.. It was by a London assurance com pany and for 3,000,000 pounds ster ling, ($15,000,000). Will Conserve Grain Crop. Berlin, via London.?The German government has decided to adopt the same measures for the conservation of this year's crop of grain as were employed last year, expropriating all grain and fixing maximum prices for its sale. + . - Unusual Interest in Bond Sale. New York.?Unusual Interest at tached to the sale by he city of New York of $71,000,000 of 4 1-2 per cent tonds. not only because of the magni tude of the offering, the largest in the -ity history, but more particularly be .-ause of its bearing upon the general nTestment situation at this time. Con 'lderlng the enormous cash resources available at this and other domestic centers and taking the street! ve in eres rate Into account, the result was mid to be much below expectations. Want Special Seaalon Congress. New York.The Maritime Association t the port of New York, numbering 800 representatives of domestic and >reign steamship lines entering this port, is preparing an appeal to Preel den Wilson for a special session of congress to repeal^the new seaman's law. In resolutions adopted by the association It Is set forth that "ep 'oroemeot of this law will be most dis astrous In effect and Its drastic and mpracticable provisions will defeat '.he very purposes for which U was Mid to be enacted." condiiions bad n bo city , . | FAMINE AND ANARCHY IN CON-! TROI FURTHER NEWS FROM BRAZILIAN MINISTER. MESSAGES BEING HELD UP Carranza Hat Hald Up Cabia Meaaagea To Thia Country?Zapata Still Holds Capital. Washington.?With anpallelad condi tions of famine and anarchy in Mexico Cfty threatening the safety of foreign ers. officials of the United States are giving serious consideration to relief { measures. Long dispatches by couriers to Vera Crqg from the Braxlllan minister at Mexico City were before Secretary Lansing here and President Wilson it Cornish, N. H? who may authorize an effort to obtain the consent of Gen eral Carransa to send supplies into the old capital through neutral agen cies. The diplomatic corps In Mexico City Is counted on to provide for the removal of foreigners from the tight, log zone. "Only the opening of the railroad from Mexico City to Vera Cruz," said one of the Brazilian mlnlstei's mes sages. "can bring relief to the situa tion." The dispatches, the first the department had received in nearly two weeks from the Mexican capital, revealed that while the cable from the city Is not cut, Carransa authorities re fuse to permit messages to pass. It is understood that the United States will Inquire of Carransa to learn the re-' sponslblllty for stopping of diplomatic communications. While It appeared that the Zapata forces still controlled the capital fight ing was continuing In the outskirts. The political situation In Mexico, It generally is believed, depends on the course of military operations. Contin ued Zapata successes In opposing the entry of Carransa's troops Into the cap ital has deadlocked operations In the south, while In the viclnltyof Agues Callentes General Villa claims to have retaken Lagoes and defeated General H1U, who succeeded Obregon in active command of the Carransa forces. Efforts to restore peace wait to some extent upon the return here of President Wilson, although the out come of the military situation in the next few weeks will have an Important bearlng^pn the problem. Teutonic Forces Still Gain. London.?The. Austro-German drive northward Into Poland from Oallcia Is gaining momentum and England Is puzzled as to whether the German pur pose Is to make this the main effort or to continue a concentrated offensive to force the Russians from the south east tip of Oalicla. Whatever the ulti mate object fs. fighting along Gatla Llpa River has not abated and Berlin not only records progress here, but also farther ncath in the arc bound Lemberg and along what has become the northern front. Defllclt Over Thirty-Five Millions. Washington.?The second business year of the present administration which has just closed shows a $35. 364,381 deficit compared with a sur plus for the year ending June 30, 1014 of $34,418,677. Official explanations win not be issued until the figures for the year are analyzed by Secretary Mc Adoo -but on the face of the records It Is apparent that receipts were much smaller, an enormous reduction 1n cus toms revenues resulting from the war, and that disbursements were much greater. Notwithstanding the deficit on the year's business the treasury now has an actual net balance of $82, 026,718. British Bark Was "l^rpsdoed. London.?The British bark Thistle bank which sailed (ram Bahla Blanca. Argenina, April 26, with a cargo of wheat for Queenstowh, was torpedoed by a German submarine at a point off Fastnet, Ireland. . Some of the crew were landed at Baltimore, a small sea port 47 miles southwest of Cork. The Thistlebank was a four-masted bark of 2,340 gross tonnage. Decrease of Fifteen Per Cent. Washington.?A prospective cotton "Nwp of 12.500.000 equivalent 600-pound bales this season is unofficially esti mated from the Department of Agri culture June 25 condition and acreage report Issued. That would be 3,600.000 bales less than last year's crop, or a reduction of 22 per cent In all 31.315, 00 acres were planted thts year, show ing that the government's repeated ap peals to cotton growers to reduce their acreage and devote more land to other crops had been heeded. >? Reprieve Granted Charles Becker Albany, N. Y?Govern or Whitman granted Charles Becker, the former po lice lieutenant under sentence of death a reprieve until Jdly 26, The governor said he would take no further ectlon In the case than the granting of the reprieve. Tbla means that If the Uni ted States supreme court does not In terfere Becker will have to die. Becker's execution orignslly was set for the week beginning July 12 and It was believed July was the day selected. Armenian Offered Reaiatance Washington?Latest news dispatches telling how the British steamer Arme nian. sunk by a submarine Monday with the loss of several American lives tried to escape after being ordered to atop, caused officials here to believe the German submarine officers con formed to International law and that the United States might have no rea son to take np the subject diplomat Mr* lir U was pointed out that the Armenian, under accepted raise'' could be sunk for refusing to obey 'a tram Ing to halt and submit to search.

Contention of Kaiser's Government That It Has Right to Destroy Con traband and Ships. Washington.?By agreement with the German Foreign Office the State Department made public the text of the note sent on June 24 by the Unit ed States asking Germany to recon sider her refusal to settle by direct displomatlc negotiations Instead of by prize court proceedings, the claim presented on behalf of the captain and owners of the American ship William P. Frye, sunk with her cargo of wheat by the commerce raider Prlnz Eltel Pried rich. Ambassador Gerard cabled that he had delivered the note. The American government declares that Inasmuch as Germany has admitted liability for the sinking of the Frye under the treaty of 1828, prize court proceedings are unneces sary and not binding upon the United States. As to the question of bow indemnity should be paid, the note brings out clearly the refusal of the United States to accept the contention that Germany has a right to stop the car rying of contraband by American ships "by the destruction of the con traband and the ship carrying It" While no mention of submarine war fare was made In either the last Ger man note or the present reply, oc casion was taken to deny this right because of a belief that admission of it now might In the future be used as a justification for submarine at tacks on American shipB. ZAPATA HOLDS MEXICO CITY." Repulses Gonzales.?Carrsnza Rein forces?City In Ssrious Way. Washington. ? Official dispatches sent by the British Charge d'Affalres at Mexico City by courier to Vera Cruz and from there cabled to the state department pictured conditions in the Mexican Capital as extremely critical. The Zapatistas holding the city with a force estimated at nearly 25, 000 men were reported by the courier to have repulsed a few days ago an attacking Carranta army under Gen eral Gonzales while Oeneral Carranza was dispatched all available men to reinforce Gonzales and continue the assault. Thousands oh persons in Mexico City are depending on the supplies of the International Relief Committee, which Itself faces a food shortage. Fears are entertained In the ctty. that aside from the famine the reinforce ments sent to General Gonzales will cause him to carry the fighting Into the Capital, endangering the lives of foreigners and their property. Investigation of Hazing. Anapolis. Md.?An Investigation was begun at the Naval Academy of reports of hazing and other mistreatment of fourth claesmen. It was ordered by Rear Admiral Fullam, superintendent of the academy and Is not connected with charges made before the court of Inquiry investigating the examina tions scandal. ?? \ Asks Cassation of Violsneo. Atlanta. Ga.?Governor Harris issued a statement to the people of Georgia asking that there "be an Immediate cessation of all egofts at violence or riotous demonstrations" because of the Prank case. He asserted that he con tinued the martial law zone around the former governor's home because of representations of Adjutant Oen eral J. Vanholt Nash and Sheriff Man gum. of Pulton county, and added that the action of foimer Governor Slaton In the Prank case now is "past history." German* Crow Dniester River. London.?Berlin reports the fall of the Gallrlan town of Helics and aays the Austro-Qeimans hare crossed the Dnleser river, which means that the Ave days desperate rearguard action by the Russians has ended in their retirement However, the subtalar re sistance of this flank of the forces of Grand Duk* Nicholas, undoubtedly has enabled him to reform his lines along tfcn Rivers Bug end Stry without In terference. The River San now takes the place of the Dniester as battle ground. ? . !*'?<, :'??'* i."-." MORE AMERICANS VICTIMS OF WAR DOMINION STEAMER ARMENIAN PROM NEWPORT NEWS IS TORPEDOED. BY GERMAN SUBMARINE U-38 Ship Carrying Mulaa to England.? Twsnty-nlns Men Were Loat, In cluding Several Americana. Washington'The Dominion freight liner Armenian, flying the Britlefa flag and carrying mulea from Newport Neva, Va? to England. *?? torpedoed and sunk June 28th Vf the German submarine U38 off Cornwall, Eng.. and nearly a score of American mtfle teers aboard are reported lost, ac cording to messages to the State De partment from John S. Armstrong. Jr., Consul at Bristol. Twenty-nine men In all were loot and 10 Injured. The news created a sensation In ofllclal quarters, as It was the first case of loss of American lives since the slaking of the Lusi tanla. The action of the Washing ton government, however, depends almost entirely on whether the Art mentan was chartered by the British government and waa, In fact, a trans port of war aboard which Americans would sail at their own risk, or wheth er she was an unarmed merchantman. In the latter band, the ship should hare been subjecct to visit and search and those aboard transferred to a place of aafety before the de struction of the vessel was attempted, officials hold. In the absence of conclusive in formation on these points officials declined to say what effect the sink ing of the Armenian would have on pending negotiations between the United States and Germany. Imme diate Inquiry was directed, however, to Ambassador Page at London to ob tain more details and Ambassador Gerard will be instructed to Inquire of the German Admiralty aa to Its report. From the messages received it ap pears that in addition to thetorpedo at least one shot was flred from a' disappearing rifle. The Consul's re port said the wireless house was "taken by second shot." It waa not made clear whether the Armenian first was ordered to halt and resisted capture, requiring a second shot or whether the submarine attacked with out warning. The fact that thejium ber of the submarine was given indi cated that she had come to tbe sur face to make the attack. MISS GENEVIEVE CLARK WEDS Daughter of 8peaker Clark and James M. Thompaon.
