BAD AFFAIRS IN MEXICO FAMINE AND ANARCHY IN CON TROL FURTHER NEWS FROM BRAZILIAN MINISTER. Carranza Has Held Up Cable Messages To This Country Zapata Still Holds Capital. Washington. With unpalleled condi tions of famine and anarchy in Mexico City threatening the safety of foreign ers, officials of the United States are giving serious consideration to j reliei measures. . j Long dispatches by couriers to Vera Cruz from the Brazilian minister at Mexico City were, before Secretary Lansing here and President Wilson at Cornish, N. H., wlio may authorize an effort to obtain the consent of Gen eral Carranza 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 fight ing zone. "Only the opening of the railroad from Mexico City to Vera Cruz,' said one of the Brazilian ministei's j 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, Carranza authorities re fuse to permit messages to pass. It is understood that the United States will Inquire of Carranza to learn the re sponsibility 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 1 entry of Carranza's troops into the cap ital has deadlocked operations in the south, while in the vicinity of Aguas Calientes General Villa claims to have retaken Lagoes and defeated General Hill, who succeeded Obregon in active command of the Carranza 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 weelcs will have an important bearing on the problem. Defiicit Over Thirty-Five Millions. Washington. The second business year of the present administration which has just closed shows a $35, 864,381 deficit compared with a sur plus for the year ending June 30, 1914 of $34,418,677. Official explanations will 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 in cus toms revenues resulting from the war, and that disbursements were much greater. N Notwithstanding the deficit on the year's business the treasury now has an actual net balance of $82, 025,716. ' j Teutonic Forces. Still Gain, j London. The Austro-German drive northward into Poland from Galicia 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 Galicia. Whatever the ulti mate object, is, fighting along-'. Gaila Lipa River has not abated and Berlin not only records progress here, j but also farther north in the arc bound Lemberg and along what has become the northern front. mi - -.' n -x t-Ts. wfe 41 FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1915 PRESS CONVENTION HELD AT MOHTREAT JAMES H.

Wife and Son With Him Daugh ters Are in Mexico. Paris. Gen: Porfirot Diaz, former president of Mexico, died here- General Diaz's wife, Senora Carmen Romero Rubia3 and their son Porfirc Diaz,-Jr., and the latter's-wife were &y his side when the end came. General Diaz began to fail rapidly about three weeks ago and while hi death was not unexpected, owing .to his advanced age and recent failing 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 his 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 circumstances marked the death of the exiled ruler. Owing to the troubled state in Mexico it has been judged impossible Ho send the body home with all the ceremony which would have befitted one of the figures of Mexican history, and further, Col. Porfirio Diaz, Jr., has tried in vain to inform his sisters, Senora Ignacio de La Torre and Senora Rincoin Gallarxlo, now in Mexico, of their father's death No less tragic, perhaps, is the fact that jiqt one bf those whom General Diaz raised up as his assistants in governing Mexico and who' pprospered and grew rich in the shadow of his greatness were with him when he died. Jose Yves de La Mentour, form er Mexican minister of Finance, is in London; Francisco de la Barra, former provisional president of Mexico anc holder of other important positions and Guillermo de Landa, former governor of the federal district in Mexico, art in Biarritz, France. . Will Protest Over Misuse of U S.

Secretary Lan sing .-disclosed that the investigation being: 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 cases probably would be called squarely to the attention of Great Britain while the general sub ject would be included in the new note. i Greece Would Claim Part of Albania Rome.via Paris A Tribune dispatch from Antivari, Montenegro says two large Greek bands are advancing to wara Berat, occupying villages along the way.
