CAUSE OF DELAY IN TRANSMIT-
TING DOCUMENT NOT IJE-
VEALEU BV OFFICIALS.
MUCH SPECULATION RESULTS
Generally Believed, However, That the
President's Draft Is Being Held For
Ftirllier Revision By Secretary Bry-
an and Counsellor Lansing—British
Assert Lusilania Has Unarmed.
WASHINGTON, June 5.—The note
Which PreHident Wilson, with the ap-
proval of his cabinet, had prepared to
send to Germany, Insisting on an ad-
herence to the rules of International
law in the conduct of maritime war-
fare. was not cabled today. Word
came from the white house in the
forenoon that it wns virtually finish-
ed. but the document was not given
to the legal officers of the state de-
partment today as had been expected.
The reason for the delay was not re-
vealed.
Officials declined to say when the
note would be cabled, or what its
status was. The fact that the presi-
dent had practically finished it, led to
the belief that Secretary Bryan would
study it tonight and tomorrow and
that it would be given to Counsellor
Lansing and other officials of the
state department on Monday for re-
vision of legal detail.
Speculation a.s to Delay.
If the communication is not sent
before Monday night, it would hardly
reach Ambassador Gerard before
Wednesday for presentation to the
German foreign office.
In some quarters, the delay in
Bending the note was thought to be
due to a desire to give Meyer Ger-
hard. personal envoy of Count von
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
now en route to Berlin on a Danish
vessel, an opportunity to reach Ger-
many about the time the Imperial
government would be considering the
American rejoinder. Officials de-
clined, however, to admit that this
was a factor In the situation.
Ship Unarmed. Says Britain.
Diplomatists generally were inter-
ested in when the document finally
would be dispatched, but it remained
an official secret tonight.
81 r Cecil Spring-Rice, the British
ambassador here, has transmitted a
note from the British government
solemnly assuring the United States
that the Lusitania was not armed
This assurance conforms with the in-
vestigation conducted by American
officials before the ship was given
clearance from the port of New York
by Collector Dudley Field Malone.
Affidavits claiming that Gustav
Stahle saw guns mounted on the Lusl-
tania are still under investigation by
the department of justice, but offi-
cials declared no evidence had been
adduced to prove the statements
made in the affidavits.
Two Hurt By Auto.
Fort Worth, Texas, June 5.—M. B.
Harris and daughter, Miss May Bella,
were struck by an automobile at the
corner of Shaw and Hemphill streets
while waiting; for a street car. Both
were knocked down and slightly bruis-
ed and cut. Tlje automobile was de-
scribed as a large touring car and was
said to be exceeding the speed limit.
Bond Issue Approved.
Austin, Tex., June 5.—The attorney
General's department has approved
these bonds Issues of the city of Paris:
Public schools, 175,000, 50-10s, 5 per-
cent; Street improvements, $50,00T),

Culstion of Paris was here in connec-
tion with the matter.

Effoct of President Wilson's Warning
to Pactional Lenders Is Matter of
Speculation at Washington.
WASHINGTON, June 5—The effect
of President Wilson's warning to the
factions in Mexico is still unknown to
the United States government. None
of the chiefs has made reply.
Evidences of a desire on the part
of the Villa-Zapata forces to discuss
terms of a reconciliation with the
Carranza government have not been
lacking.
A coalition of the element which
originally composed the ^successful
constitutionalist party in its cam-
paign is the prevailing view In offi-
cial circles here.
The attitude of General Carranza
has not been clearly defined but from
all available information he intends
to press his military campaign in an
effort to dominate the sltuatiou by
force.
Reports from the border that the
Villa officials had sent a request to
Eliseo Arredondo, Washington repre-
sentative of Carranza, to outline a
basis for negotiations, were declared
unfounded by Mr. Arredondo as well
as Enrique C. Llorente, the Villa rep-
resentative.
The president's statement, however,
has stimulated a discussion among
Mexicans of all factions here and the
probability is a reunion of the Villa-
Zapata and Carranza factions is wide-
ly commented upon.
GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS
They May Bo Paid Out at Onof, Rules
the Attorney General.
Austin, Tex., June 6.— Governor
Ferguson has been advised by the
Attorney General's department that
Items listed In the miscellaneous ap-
propriations bill can be paid at once,
regardless of the fact that the bill
did not pass one branch of the legis-
lature by a two-thirds vote.
This question was raised by Comp-
troller Terrell, who refused payment
of »n Item for the Panama Paolflo
WASHINGTON, June 5 —The army
transports Buford and Kilpatrlck, now
at Galveston, will be sent to Vera Cruz
to bring back American and other
foreign refugees reaching that port
from Mexico City on the trains now
being arranged. Plans to send the
ships were laid at the war department
today.
Under British auspices, efforts will
be made early next week to take par-
ties of foreigners by horseback and
automobile from Mexico City to Pa-
chuca, from which place there Is rail-
road communication with Vera Cruz.
The American Ited Cross will des-
patch, next Thursday, a shipment of
medical supplies to the American,
Spanish and French hospitals at Mex-
ico City via Vera Cruz and send two
more carloads of relief supplies to
Monterey.
American Refugee Situation.
Arnold Shanklin, consul general at
Mexico City, now waiting orders at
Vera Cruz, probably will take com-
mand of the American refugee situa-
tion at the capital and supervision of
the distribution of relief supplies. It
is doubtful if S. P. Morris, acting di-
rector of the Red Cross, will go to
Mexico City as he had previously
planned.
In Us summary today, the Red Cross
said:
"In the last few days about 5,000
people, many of whom are destitute,
have .arrived at Laredo, Texas, from
Monterey, as the result of an order
published by the governor of Mon-
terey, General Davllla, which provid-
ed that all civilians who wished to go
to the border would be furnished free
transportation. This information comes
in a telegram from General Evans at
Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
Wretched Destitution.
"The railroad between Nuevo La-
redo, Mexico, and Monterey was open-
ed May 27, according to General
Evans' dispatch and since then trains
have been running Irregularly. One
train took three days coming from
Monterey. The order of Governor
Davllla was good for five days only.
The Mexican authorities turned the
refugees over to the American side for
care, but the immigration authorities
had to turn back about #0 per cent
of them.

GREEK KING SERIOUSLY ILL
Ilcllcuic Monarch Undergoes Opera-
tion of Delicate Mature, Though
Condition Is Saul to Be Favorable.
LONDON, June 5.—An Athens dis-
patch to the Exchange Telegraph
company says that Professor Hisel-
berg of Vienna today performed an
operation on King Constantine, re-
moving the tenth rib.
The king felt some relief after the
operation. The treatment is likely to
cover a long period of time.
The operation performed on King
Constantine indicates pleurisy with
purulent effusion, which is known as
empyema, the treatment for which
consists of the removal of one or more
riIts and drainage. One of the early
bulletins on the king's condition on
May 15 mentioned the presence of
pus in the pleural cavity, which ac-
counts for the occasional relapse
which King Constantino has undre-
gone. A favorable sign, however. Is
the comparatively low temperature
and respiration noted in the latest re-
ports.
Big Order for Army Show.
Boston. Mass., June 5.—The United
States government has placed an or-
der with a shoe manufacturer here
for 355,000 pairs of standard army
boots.
With additional orders from- coun-
tries at war, it is said, orders now be-
ing filled by manufacturers here will
aggregate 8,000,000 pairs, or about
$25,000,000 In gross business.
The Hussian government has an or-
der In for 500.000 pairs and Villa' and
Carranza have both placed large or-
ders here.
LONDON, -Tone 5—A dispatch from
Mitylene that a combined general of-
fensive against the Turkish positions
began yesterday and Winston Spencer
Churchill's statement at Dundee that
the allied forces are within a few
miles of victory is taken as an indica-
tion that things are moving a little
more quickly on the aGllipoll penin-
sula. where the Anglo-French troops
are fighting for positions which will
give them command of the Darda-
nelles
Nothing official has been reporte#
from either side for several days, but
dispatches from Athens stato that tha
allies have repulsed all the attacks, the
last of which against the Australians
and New Zealanders on Monday, re-
sulted in very heavy Turkish losses,
l ighting iu the Caucasus.
Turkey is reported to be near the
end of her resources in the Caucasus
where the Russians are making steady
progress and the Turks may have to
meet an Italian landing in Asia Minor.
Heavy fighting is still in progress In
Oalicia, where the Austro-Germans
are attempting an encircling move-
ment against I.emberg, such as proved
successful at l'rzemysl. In this, the
fortunes are fluctuating. The Austra-
Gerinan* appeao to be makinf prog-
ress from the southwest, while thelp
extreme right in eastern Galicia and
Hukowina is be inseverely hammered
by the Russians.
Western Offensive Fruitless.
The attempted German offensive In
the west seems to have failed, as Ber-
lin admits today the loss ot the sugar
refinery at Souchez, which is consid-
ered an Important position, and to
gain which many lives have been sac-
rificed.
Fighting, however, is still going on
between the Germans and British at
Hooge, first ono and then the other
taking the offensive.
Since Wednesday, the Germans have
sunk five steamers, three of which
were british. one Danish and ono
Swedish, 12 British trawlers and two
sailing vessels.
Concerning the operations on the
Italian frontier, the advices are very
meagre, but British military experts
gather from them that the Italians,
without much opposition, are occupy-
ing positions which are likely to prova
of the greatest importance when tha
hig battles begin.
