He -lelt the conference with the clear impression that the Washington government would listen to nov mediation suggestions. It has been very plainly indicated hat unconditional surrender of the American prisoners held at Chihua hua would be, the only r immediate step GenI Garranza could take to avoid hostilities. Whether a media tion proposal- might be considered after their release is a matter of speculation. There is reason to , be lieve, however, that a plan which Tiid not-involve a military status quo in Mexico and the consequent hamper ing of Geni Funston'3 dispositions to guard the international line . from raiders would be considered. The state department late in the day Tuesday received its first official news of the cavalrymen prisoners from other than Mexican sources. - The .British, consul at Chihuahua City transmitted a report through the embassy, saying that the. twenty three troopers and an interpreter were being Swell treated and that the injuries of the two wounded men were slight. - The British consulate took over American interests when American officials were withdrawn. Protests Arrest of Mexicans.

If the de facto govern ment stands upon the orders to Gen eral Trevino to attack Pershing's men when they move otherwise than toward the border, the situation ac tually is just what it was before, ex- pt that there now is a possibility diplomatic negotiations that did )t exist while the Americans were," aid prisoners at Chihuahua.

The Amer ican rejoinder to Austria regarding the Austrian submarine attack on the American steamer Petrolite. made public today by the state depart ment, describes the act as "a delib erate insult to the flag of the United States and an invasion of the rights of American citizens" and requests a prompt apology, punishment of, the submarine commander, and payment of indemnity. In vigorous language the commu nication sent a , week ago today, makes it clear ' that" the United States government believes the facts of . the case entirely different from what the Austrian submarine - com mander reported them to be and that immediate amends are expected. The Austrian claim that the Petro- lite's captain voluntarily gave- ud supplies taken from the steamer by the submarine commander is flatly contradicted, as are the claims that warning shots were fired across the Petrolite's bow before she was shell- Mr. Cochems, contended tne com nri nnthnritv to endorse wife, anil apparently had oeen 'ieaa 1 t-.; nhamon t T-rr.I .-..j a v..t ita nnwr for bmirs.
