LAND AND WATER ATTACK
BERJ..IN, via Seyville, June 23.—
Constantinople dispatches state that
the Turkish forces have successfully:
repulsed a combined land, sea and air j
attacks of the allies against the Dar- j
dandles defenses. The allies have fail j
ed utterly to make further progress I
either by land or sea lately and the
present reverse has proven so costly
that they will be compelled to await
further support before renewing the
attacks.
Other successes fall to the arms of.
the dual monarchies include the driving
of the Italian invading force in Mon
tenegro completely away from their
base below Goermica with a loss of
over seven hundred dead, all of whom
wore left on the field. The Italians
also made a fatal night attack on the!
ITedil pass l»ut were driven back with
heavy losses inciuiBng a mountain bat
tery. The city of Taranto was severe

TERRIFIC EARTHOUAKE
IN NORTHERN MEXICO
CALEXICO, .Tune 23.—Twelve are
dead and a considerable number are
Injured following the severe earth
quake shocks which swept up the val
ley from the old volcano at the ex
treme end of the Corropap range last
night. The distinct shocks followed
each other in rapid succession and
were accompanied by sharp detona
tions and an immense outburst of dust.
The inhabitants of all of the small
totvns In the affected region tied for the
open and hundreds spent the night in
the open country in fear of a repeti
tion of the convulsions. A veritable
reign of terror exists throughout this
district and martial law has been de
clared. American regulars are patrol
ling the streets at the present time and
Villa troops are guarding Moxicala.
The presence of the troops has done
much to restore the people from their
condition of terror hut thousands are
still mad with fear and refuse to re
turn to their homes.
Closely following the abatement of
the quakes, looters commenced their
nefarious work and many have heeu
arrested by the soldiers, several being
summarily executed. The earthquakes
undoubtedly had its origin in the long
extinct volcano.
