BERLIN, via Sayvllle, June 2S -
The report emanating from Italian
cources to the effect that Plava. upper
Albania had fallen before the Italian
attack from the direction of Montene
gro is denounced as untrue by the
Viennt government. It is stated that
contrary to the Italian reports, the Ital
ians not only failed to capture the city
after a 'erriflc onslaught, hut were
forced to retire after suffering terrible !
losses in killed ana prisoners. It is
declared that the Italians lost nearl.t
thirty thousand In killed and wounded
in the three days fighting preceding
the retirement and also many hundreds
taken prisoners. The Increase In the

pletely checked at all points and they j
ire at present unable to advance either 1
in the Isonza or In the southern Tyrol, j
The renewal of the offensive against j
Wnars&w is fast developing and heavy
masses of German troops art now ad
vancing from the Warthe to assist
in the capture of the Polish capital.
The German fortes maintaining the
positions below the Vistula are already
engaged in shelling ttie outer defenses
of Warsaw with the newlv received
artillery of long range similar to the
great guns used on the western front
which have caused the enemy much
pertubation. German successes on
the west Include the taking of Charnv
from which position the Germans are
now shelling the northern forts of Ver
dun with heavy artillery. Severe in
fantry engagements In the vicinity of
I.aholselles and Souchez have resulted
in a severe repulse of the French at

their Amsterdam correspondent states
that the Oerman military authorities it.
Belgium have ordered the closing of
the Belgian frontier and ail traffh

dieting some vital blow before the
Russians un recover from the recent
disasters In Oalh la That the Oermans
contemplate some troop movement of

ZAPATA DELIVERS SMASHING

WASHINGTON, June 28.—Advices
received yesterday indicate that the
Zapata forces have delivered a smash
ing defeat to the army of Carranza
under General Gonzales which has been
marching on the Mexican capital. Tln
reports state that Zapata surprised the
enemy by a swift attack at a time
when it was believed impossible. Za
pata has been most active in hinder
mg the advanec of Gonzales, constant
1\ subjecting them to sharp machine
gun and artillery attacks and by fol
lowing up with an unexpected infantry

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
ORDER ARREST OF HUERTA
WASHINGTON. Julie 28—What is
believed to have been the start of a
new revolution in Mexico with former
President Huerta as the leader has been
frustrated for the present at least by
the timely action of the government in
ordering the arrest of the former Mex'
lean dictator together with General
Orozco and several other prominent
Mexican leaders at El Paso last night,
shortly after their arrival. The arrest
of Huerta follows nearly three months
of government espionage during which
time the government has held tenac
iously to the belief that Huerta was
preparing to launch a new revolution
against the Mexican republic It is
stated that the secret agents of the
government have unearthed undeniable
evidence that Huerta is being financed
by unknown parties for the express ob
ject of stirring up further trouble in
the lower republic.
EL PASO, June 28.—Acting on or
ders direct from the department of
justice, special agents of the depart
ment arrested Former Mexican Presi
dent Huerta shortly after his arrival
in the city yesterday, on charges of
conspiracy to Incite a revolution
against a friendly country which were
preferred by the government as the
result of information gathered during
the period the former dictator has been
residing in the United States. Huerta
arrived here accompanied by General
Pasquale Orzoco and several other
well known Mexican federal officers
who met him at Newman. On arrival
the party was met by a company of
I nited Stales cavalrymen who escort
ed Huerta to the federal building for
u conference. Later the general and
his party were taken to Fort Bliss
where they were formally notified of
their arrest on the charges tiled by
the agents of the secret service on the
charges stated.
The accused men were later taken
before the T'nlted States commission
er and formally charged. Huerta was
released on a bond of $15,000 furnish
ed by prominent Mexicans who also
secured the liberty of Orozco on bonds
of $7,500. Asked if it was true that he
was ..ne of the leaders nf th« new rev -
iiiuliun movement in Mexico, the form
if president vehemently responded:
"Ahoslutel.v no. 1 will never enter Mex
ico at Hie head of an armed force. I
have retired from the Held as a soldier
and unless my country should need my
services against a foreign foe i will
never carry arms either for or against
her. I am anxious to return to Mexico.
It is my home but I will never return
until after peace is established and this
will not he for five or six years
