Mexico City and threatened with
court martial. Tho charges are
unknown.
Allen Mallory, an American, has
been assaulted by followers of
Zapata. At the time of this at
tack Mr. Mallory was carrying an
American Hag, which was torn and
insulted by his assailants. Zapata
personally tore up the correspond

broke the legation seals, saying
thtu the Americans were fools.
The Brazilian minister made an
effort to secure the release of Mr.
Hudson.
Governmental control is lacking
In Mexico City and terror prevails.
Swiss and Spanish citizens have
been ordered executed and remov
ed. The resident foreigners are
greatly alarmed. Zapata said that
he intended to kill a local Span
iard. Tho foreigners feel their
itosilion is precarious because
they are unable to appeal to any
authorities. The governor of the
federal district treats them with
con.lempt. The food situation is
desperate. Starvation is abroad
and oats and dogs are being oat
en. Even some of the foreign res
idents are starving.
Certain Mexicans are appealing
to the rirazllian minister for In

Hands of troops are extending

Washington, July 31. The case of
the four Americans killed In the shell
ing of the Iberian turns on whether
tho ship was warned by the German
submarine and whether she attempted
to escape. State department officials
had no details today but took steps
to get a report.
The degree of protection which a
neutral government can give Its sub
jects traveling on such a belligerent
ship depends on the circumstances. Hi

it was the husband's Intention to have

First Witness Examined,
Gray Peddycord was the first wit
ness called for the sl.-ite. He said be
whs with Whitfield on the night of the
alleged crime; that Whitlleld gave him
75 cents and the wwness got ii pint ol
whiskey, and both took several drinks
of it. They wro in the Caudle store
while, they were drinking. They re
malncd in the storn some time n"'l
then went out on the street. When
they had got several yards from the

In the store for some whiskey. Whit
field did not want any one to see him
go In the store this time snd that
tho defendant borrowed his (witness-)
hat. The witness further said Whit
Held entered the store from tho rear
door and that he waited behind a sign
board near by. Just as the defendant
came out the witness said he saw tlw
reflection of a blaze; that Whitfield
pulled the door to and ran to him, say
ing, "Let's leave here!" Witness said
he accused Whitfield of setting the
store on fire and then ran to the home
of Mr. Will Hanes, on 13 12 street, and
gave the alarm. In the meantime
Whitfield ran. He told what had hap
pened to the officers at once. ,
The witness was subjected to a typi
cal "Raw" Jones cross-examination.
But his main story remained unshak
en. Tax Collector Kinney tiwtlfled that
Peddycord's character was good; as
did Mr. W. 1L Cllnard.-
Fireman's Testimony.
Mr. Will Hanes, a member of the
fire department, told of Peddycord
coming to his home and telling him
that thn Caudle store was afire. He
hurried to the scene and was one of
the first firemen to get to the store.
He saw ("apt. June McOeo when he
opened the reardoor to the store and
the door was not locked. Peddycord
told him about how the fire started.
On croHs-exatnlnatlon witness said
the distance from his home to the
Caudle store was about 1,000 or 1,100
feet. Several other people live nearer
to the store than he does. He saw a
man named (liierney Quale standing
In front of the Caudle store when he
arrived there.
Cupt. McGee's Evldsnce.
('apt. June McCec, of Fire Co. No. 3,

hIiuI. Only a few gallons of water
was thrown into the building. The
lire was about K feet and diagonally
ncross from the Fourteenth street
door. The floor was slightly burned.
On cross examination witness said
he could not see thn blsze In the store
until lie opened the door.
Statement by Chief Thomas.
Chief Thomas told of going to the
store on the night of the fire. The
chief told of a conversation he had
with Peddycord, In which Peddycord
ilVlrograd, July 30, vis London, July
31. The crossing of the Vistula, at
several lnts on pontoon and tho
efforts of tha Austro-German allies
to construct fridges across the riv
er, curiously enough has elicited less
discussion among Russian military
critics than the crossing pf the Vio
lin near Prnsuikl or the advanco of
thn Germarw southwest from tlansk
which lies botwoen Riga and Ponle
wtytch In the Kovno province.
Operations against Kovtiu actually
are regarded as interestltii became
of. the Importance attached to it as
one of the strongholds of the pros
pective new Russian line. ' The Ger
mans, proceeding from tbs southwest,
have reached the advanced position
of the Kovno and also are pushing
northeaet from Smvslkl.
Meanwhile tho Russians are defend
ing gallantly their positions oa the
Narew I'stween the Vistula and Vle
prs and on the Hug. They claim not
able successes In the sectors Chmlel
and Proskl where they caused their
antagonists heavy losses and took 1.
000 Austrian prisoners in the ttokai
region.
