Two British and One French
Warship Strike Floating
Mines in Dardanelles. v
HARD FIGHT IN THE HARROWS
Land Forts Rain Terriffic Fire on Ten
Battleships and Lighter Craft
Russian Squadron Near
Bosphorus. ,
London, March 20. The British bat
tleships Irresistible and Ocean and the
French battleship Bouvet were blown
up by floating mines while engaged
"with the remainder of the allied fleet
in attatcking the forts in The Narrows
of the Dardanelles Thursday.
Nearly all members of the crews
of the two British ships were saved,
having been transferred to other ships
under a hot fire, but an internal explo
sion took place on -board the Bouvet
after she had fouled the mine and
most of her crew wras lost. The Bouvet
sank within three minutes of the time
that she hit the mine.
Set Mines Adrift.
The waters in which the ships were
lost had been swept of mines, but the
British admiralty asserts that the
Turks and the Germany set floating
containers of explosives adrift and
these were carried down by the cur
Tent to the allied ships gathered inside
the entrance of the straits.
All the ships that were sunk were
-old ones, the Bouvet having been com
pleted nearly twenty years ago and the
Ocean and Irresistible in 1900. The
sunken British ships are being re
placed by the battleships Queen and
Implacable, vessels of a similar type.
They are said to have started some
.time ago for near Eastern waters ,in
anticipation of just such losses as have
now occurred.
Two Other Ships Damaged.
Two other ships engaged in the fight
ing, the British battle cruiser Inflexi
ble and the French battleship Gaulois,
were hit by shells and damaged. The
British casualties, according to the
British official report, were not heavy.
The damage done to the Turkish
forts by the heavy bombardment has
not yet been ascertained. It is stated
that the operations against them are
continuing.
Russians Approach Bosphorus.
"It is officially confirmed that a Rus
sian squadron lias approached the
northern part of the Bosphorus," says
Reuter's Petrograd correspondent.
"The appearance of the squadron has
caused a great panic in Constanti
nople." CHEAPER EGGS PREDICTED
Spring Buying Will Be Restricted By
Lack of Cold Storage Room,
Produce Men Say.
Chicago, March 20. A scarcity of
cold storage room will result in mak
ing lower prices for eggs, 'butter and
poultry this spring and higher prices
next fall and winter, produce men here
declare.
Cold storage warehouses have un
usually large quantities of meats and
apples for this time of year and this
accounts for the scarcity of room. The
stocks of hog products in Chicago
warehouses at the beginning of this
month were 34 per cent larger than
a .year ago, and owners of apples put
in storage last fall have not been able
to market them as extensively as they
expected. The same conditions are
said to exist in other cities.
The purchase of eggs, butter and
poultry in April, May and June, when
they are most plentiful, to hold for the
fall and winter trade,, when produc
tion is least, serves to hold spring
prices up and winter prices down in
ordinary years, but storage this year
will be less than usual, produce men
say, unless some of the cold storage
room now in use is vacated soon.
GIVE UP HUNT FOR INDIANS
Denver, March 20. The posse of
federal deputies under United States
Marshal Nebeker at Bluff, Utah, which
for more than a month has been at
tempting to arrest Tse-Ne-Gat, a Piute
Indian wanted by the federal authori
ties on a charge of murder, has been,
ordered home, according to a dispatch
from Bluff.
"Old Folk," father of Tse-Ne-Gat,
and a large party of renegade Indians,
have for several weeks . been aiding
the fugitive in resisting arrest. No
reference .is made in the dispatch to
the activities or present whereabouts
of General Scott, chief of staff of the
army, who arrived in the Bluff district
recently to attempt to pacify the recal

DENIES FREEDOM TO THAW
Ordered Sent Back to Matteawan by
Justice Page Saved by Habeas
Corpus Writ.
New York, March 17. Another
long legal battle oyer Harry Thaw
was made certain yesterday when
Justice Page in the supreme, follow
ing Thaw's acquittal Saturday of the
charge of conspiring to escape from
Matteawan, ordered Thaw returned
to the hospital for the criminal insane
tinder the original commitment from
Justice Dowling.
Thaw had demanded that he be re
turned to New Hampshire, from which
state he was extradited for trial on
the conspiracy charge. Losing there,
he won on another point, however,
when his counsel,, anticipating an ad
verse decision by Justice Page, ob
tained from Justice Bijur of the su
preme court a writ of habeas corpus,
returnable Friday. Meantime Thaw
must be kept in the Tombs prison.
It was a close call for Thaw, since
plans had been considered by the
state for returning him at cnce to
his long time residence at Matteawan.
Asylum attendants were in the court
room ready to rush him there by mo
tor car the moment the motion for a
return to New Hampshire was denied.
But the writ of habeas corpus served
half an hour before on Warden Han
ley of the Tombs prevented this.
HE SAVED VALUABLE JEWELS
Catholic Priest Arrives in New York
From City of Mexico With
Priceless Gems.
New York, March 17. A king's ran
som in jewels, blazoned in the royal
eagles of Spain at the time of Charles
V, the most powerful monarch of the
Sixteenth century, lies under guard
at the customs house here awaiting
appraisal.
The gems, set in gold on white and
purple robes and mounted on two gold
en crowns, were brought into New
York by a Catholic priest, clad in
shabby clothes, who fled from the City
of Mexico a month ago, made his way
to Vera Cruz and sailed aboard the
Steamer 'Montevideo. The Montevi
deo reached New York March G with
this priest and six other fugitive
priests who had been banished from
Mexico by General Obregon.
From the depths of a battered suit
case the gems and robes were tum
bled out upon the dock for inspection
by the customs authorities. They so
dazzled the inspectors that they were
hastily put back into the suitcase. Un
der guard they were taken to a safe
deposit vault, where they were locked
up and special watchmen detailed to
guard them. Rough estimates placed
their value as high as $500,000.
LIBERTY BELL IS IN DANGER
Half of the Famous Old Revolution,
ary Relic Hangs Only by a
Slender Support.
Philadelphia, March 18. "The Lib
erty Bell is suffering' from an incur
able organic disease. The crack
which originally was confined to its
side has run along its shoulder so
that half the bell hangs only by a
slim support. The crack has grown
an inch and a quarter within the last
eight years."
This is the substance of an asser
tion made at the Union League by
Wilfred Jordan, curator of Independ
ence Hall, who lectured under the au
spices of the Numismatic and Anti
quarian Society of Philadelphia.
"And despite a peition two and a
half miles long from the school chil
dren of California," Mr. Jordan add
ed, "the bell's physical disability
should prevent our sending it to San
Francisco."

PROTEST ON TAiiES
U. S. Government Tells Villa He
Has No Right to Hold Up
Foreign Residents.
LIVING CONDITIONS IMPROVED
Rail Communication From City of
Mexico to Et Paso Soon to be
Opened, It is Reported. x
Washington, March 19. A protest
was sent by the United States today
to General Villa against the collec
tion from Americans or other foreign
ers of part of a special tax of 1,000,000
pesos levied at Monterey.
The British embassy had brought to
the attention of the state department
a report -just received from Monterey
saying that the British-owned light
and power company there had been
called upon to pay $35,000 as its share
of the new tax.
Just how the general assessment
was to be apportioned the state de
partment was not informed, but the
unufcrsianuing wa.3 iua.t Jjreiit;ra.i viixo,
had laid an omnibus tax on the city,
leaving it to the authorities there to
raise the money in whatever way
they saw fit. The order was dated
March 16, it was said, and fifteen
days wis the time given in which to
raise the money.
The department has protested prev
iously, notably in the case of the tax
which General Obregon tried to col
lect in Mexico City recently, against
any of the Mexican factions forcing
contributions from foreigners. Gen
eral Obregon heeded the protest and
the tax was removed as far as foreign
ers were concerned.
Other advices to the department to
day said living conditions in Mexico
City are improved, that rail com
munications to El Paso probably will
be opened in four or five days, and
that fighting between Carranza and
Villa forces has begun near Tampico.
To Aid Foreigners. .
Washington, March 18. Secretary
Daniels has authorized Commander
Blakely of the cruiser Des Moines at
Progreso, Mexico, to take aboard any
Americans or other foreigners seek
ing safety. The collier Brutus was or
dered to Progreso from Vera Cruz to
afford asylum to refugees.
Consul Silliman, at Vera Cruz, has
reported that General Carranza had
agreed to cooperate in providing
transportation for Americans and
other foreigners wishing to leave
Mexico City and to facilitate the trans
portation of Red Cross supplies to the
Mexican capital.
Similar assurance of co-operation
has been received from the authorities
controlling Mexico City.
The schooner Susie B. Dantzler of
Gulf port, Miss., detained at Campeche,
has arrived at Vera Cruz and her own
ers advise that Captain Dethloff was
not imprisoned, as had been feared.
The opinion is expressed that no fur
ther difficulty would be experienced by
shipping in and out of Progreso and
that Mexican consuls will now be em
powered to clear vessels for the Yuca
tan port.
Foreigners Ready to Leave.
Washington, March 17. Conditions
in the City of Mexico as well as Man
zanillo continue to give officials concern.-
Apparently the re-occupation of the
capital by the Zapata forces has not
brought the expected relief, or else
Americans have tired of their isola
tion and the stagnation which their
business has experienced, for a large
number of them, with other foreigners,
asked the State Department today,
through the Brazilian minister, to ob
tain transportation for them to Vera
Cruz.
Urgent representations were . made
to General Carranza concerning his
troops at Manzanillo, whose activities
have been causing Americans and for
eigners much apprehension. The
American consul was instructed to
keep in close touch with the comman
der of the cruiser Cleveland should
foreigners become further endangered.

ANOTHER BATTLE
MEHTOHYSER
Allies and Germans Face Each

Belgian River.
STOP ADVANCE l!i CHAMPAGNE'
But French Troops Continue to Hold
Important Heights Against Coun
ter Attacks Fighting in
Vosges Slackens.
London, March 19. The next im
portant battle on the western field, it
is believed, will take place along the
-River Yser, held on one side by the re
cently reorganized Belgian army and
on the other by the Germans.
As the floods have subsided, the Bel
gians, supported by the warships of
the allies, already have pushed their
line slightly forward, and this is al
most certain to lead to counter-attacks
by the Germans and a general engage
ment, as has been the case when sim
ilar movements were initiated else
where "along the front. An artillery
duel in the way of preparation has
commenced.
There may be a slight delay while
the Germans are awaiting for rein
forcements from Germany, for they
have been using most of their reserves
to counter-attack the British troops at
St. Eloi and Nueve Chapelle and the
French north of Arras, but that a big
clash will soon come nobody doubts.
The contest for the spur of Notre
Dame de Lorette is still injjragress,
and, according to Berlin,,, further at
tempts of the French to' advance in
Champagne, where they captured an
important ridge north of Le Mesnil,
have been repulsed.
The fighting in. the Argonne forest
and the Vosges has slackened some
what, owing doubtless to the return of
wintry weather conditions.
There is little news from the East
ern front, and beyond the fact that
the Russians again have crossed the
East Prussian line in the far North
east,, near Tilsit, and that they are
continuing their offensive against Aus
trians in Bukowina, there is no change
in the situation.
British Suffer Loss.
Evidence is accumulating of the
heavy British losses in the recent
fighting in Flanders. Lord Claud Ham
ilton, addressing a meeting in London
last night, said the papers were not
giving full lists of the losses. His own
regiment, the Grenadier Guards, he de
clared, lost their colonel and sixteen
officers killed and wounded, and of
1,100 men, the finest in the army, only
three hundred survived.
The Cameronians also seemed to
have been almost totally wiped out;
their lists of killed and wounded were
apalling.
Fighting for Positions.
London, March 18. At present the
armies of Belgium, Great Britain and
France are fighting for the hills and
other points along the long front which
will be of the greatest advantage to
the army holding them when the ad
vance begins. According to the
French communication, the Belgians
continue to improve their positions in
Flanders, and the French to the north
of Arras and in Champagne have add
ed eminences to their gains which are
of some importance.
The French and German official
communications, however, are so con
tradictory that it is difficult to decide
whether any "change is being made
generally in the dispositions of the
two armies.
The optimism which pervades the
Western Allies is shared by the Rus
sians. All the Petrograd correspond
ents of the London papers lead the
public to believe big events are im
pending. It is apparent the Russians
again and not the Austrians are on
the move, particularly at Smolnik, on
the River San, where it emerges from
the Carpathians, while in Bukowina,
according to unofficial dispatches from
Bucharest, the Austrians have been
defeated in a battle which has been
raging along the entire front.
London, March 17. With the in
creasing activities of the British,
French and Belgian armies, the re
appearaace on the coast of Belgium of
British and French warships and the
time drawing near for a big effort in
the west, the public is following with
renewed interest the news of the op
erations. The Belgians, who "are being sup
ported by the warships of the allies,
have consolidated the ground which
they have won in the last few days,
while the British have done likewise
with the strip of territory which they
took from the Germans near Nueve
Chapelle and have recovered most, if
not all, of the trenches which they lost
in the region of St. Elio.
