VILLA DEFIES THE
AMERICAN GOVT.
EL PASO, Aug. 3.—Dispatches re
ceived here from Chihauhua state that
Villa has openly declared defiance to
the United States and has insistently
stated that he has no intention of al
lowing any interference on the part of
the American government in affairs
which concern no one but the citizens
of Mexico. During the course of an
address to a gathering of foreign mer
chants in- Chihauhua Villa insisted
that he would do as he pleased with
foreigners and their property and would
not allow the United States to attempt
interference with his acts. The Mex
ican chief is said to have become par
ticular vituperative when speaking of
the United States and at one point in
his harangue loudly exclaimed: “The
American government can go to hell.”
Villa was much incensed at the action
of the merchants, who had gathered to
protest against the action of the rebel
chief in confiscating the property of
several of their number besides sub
jecting them to innumerable indigni
ties. It is reported that the only rea
son given for the seizure and confisca
tion of the goods of the merchants was
contained in the laconic statement that
it was for the good of the state.
The reports are generally regarded
as being an indication that the former
constitutionalist chief realizes that he
Is very near the end of his rope and
would willingly provoke the United
States to interfere in order to save
himself from the vengeance of Carran
zo who is rapidly accumulating a
greater power throughout the republic.

BRITAIN REFUSES RECOGNITION
OF AMERICAN COMPLAINTS
A. P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—Britain has;
rejected every contention of the Am
erican government In the matter of in
terference with the commerce of neu
tral nations, according to the an
nouncement given out by the officials
of the state department last night fol
lowing the receipt of the supphment
ary reply to the American note.
In addition to absolutely refusing to
agree to the American contentions, the
last note points out that Britain is act
ing entirely within the spirit of he in
ernatlonal laws granting a belligerent
the right of search and in no discs lias
imposed upon either the letter or the
spirit of these laws, in addition the note
explicitly refuses to recognize the t ight
of tlie United ' to reserve certain
complaints f ,. • settlement as
stated In the t.oie to the British gov
ernment. Gne of the more important
passages of the first note, received
some days ago, is the declaration that i
to modify the order in council directed!
against the German government will |
he nothing short of an injury to the|
government of his Brittanic majesty
and therefore cannot he considered.
In the supplementary note received
today Britain firmly insists upon her
right to sieze upon all cargoes suspect -
ed as being of German origin in addi
tion to all suspected of being destined
for the enemy directly or otherwise.
While the notes agree to certain prin
ciples indicated in the American com
munication, the British reply is hold
and direct in asserting that the Unit*-*
States has no cause for complaint as
th# maritime acts of the British are
upheld by the principles of interna
tional law and every established prece
dent. The absolute refusal of Britain
to recognize the American contentions
is felt in official circles to he a serious
matter and one likely to lead to a se
vere straining of the existing relations
between the United States and Great
Britain. Thus far no intimation of the
future action of the government has
been given out. Secretary Bansing
stated this morning that the matter
would be given careful consideration
before further action was taken but
declined to make any statement con
cerning the probable course to be pur
sued.

GERMANY MAY NOE REPLY
TO THEJIERICAN NOTE
A. P. A Service.
BERLIN, Aug. 3.—It Is semi-official- j
ly announced that the German govern
ment has not yet decided as to whether I
it will answer the last American note
in relation to the Lusitania and the
conduct of tlie submarine warfare. It
is intimated that the German officials
are inclined to the opinion that there
can be nothing of a satisfactory nature
result from a continuance of the nego
tiations which have so been absolutely
barren of definite result in the matter
of adjusting the existing differences. A
leading official whose name has been
withheld is said to have madw the
statement that the demands of the Am
ericans were of such Impossible nature
i hat Germany could in no event agree
to their acceptance save at the risk
if greatly jeopardizing her interests,
'"he tone of the press is decidedly
tgainst any concession to the Ameri
can demands although all of the lo*d
ng organs admit that a complete re
’usal will undoubtedly result in much
11 feeling on the part of Amerlcau*

EASTERN PRESS APPREHENSIVE
OVER INTERNATIONAL
SITUATION.
A. P. A. Service.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—Tho recent
developments of the international sit
uation are causing great disquietude
throughout the east and tho leading
papers through the eastern states are
plainly apprehensivo as to tho final
cutcome of tho disputes with Ger
man v and Britain. Tho refusal of the
British government to accept even the
least of tho American contentions re
specting the restrictions to neutral
commerce occasioned by the order In
council is declared by several of the
leading dailies to bo nothing short of
serious as the American government
cannot recede from tho position It has
taken without loss of prestige. The
possibility of a complete refusal of
Germany to answer tho last American
noto of reply in regard to the subma
rine war is generally looked upon as
containing a most alarming clement
af danger. Editorial comment in many
af tlio leading papers plainly hints that
America is nearer to conflict than at
iny time since the conclusion of tho
3panish-Amorlcan war. Reports from
ho national capital indicate that the
idmlnistration officials are much pre
Jtibed at tho present state of affairs.

PETROGRAD IS SILENT ON
EASTERN SITUATION
A. P. A. Service.
LONDON. Aug. 3.—Petrograd is ab
solutely silent concerning the Warsaw
situation and aside from the German
reports emenating from Berlin noth
ing is known of the developments of
the past twenty-four hours. Berlin
dispatches indicate that terrific fight
ing is now going on both east and
south of the city andli oth Mackensen
end Hindenberg are pressing in with
the full weight of the German legions.
The reports disclose that the Russian
lines west of the city are still holding
their ground and the invaders are un
able to make further headway in this
direction. Dispatches from General
French states that the Germans are
maintaining a vigorous offensive
against tho British front and also n>
the vicinity of Arras where the artil
lery bombardment has been resume**
with great violence. Summer rains are
greatly retarding operations along the
western end of the battle line and the
trenches are again flooded with water.
ITALY ADMITS PR06RESS
VERY DIFFICULT
A. P. A. Service.
LONDON, Aug. 3.—For the first time
since the declaration of war against
Austria, the Italian general staff re
ports admit that but little progress has
been made in the invasion of the Aus
trian territory in spite of the tremend
ous efforts exerted by the Italian
troops. Fighting in the Tyrol has ad
mittedly now resolved Itself into a
continuous artillery battle with both
sides endeavoring to blow the oppos
ing trenches to pieces in their endeav
ors to make soipe headway. The Aus
trian admittedly have all the advan
tage of position and the Italians are
•ompeled to fight an uphill battle at
all times. The reports today state that
the Austrians are seemingly content
to remain almost entirely on the de
fensive in the lower Tyrol and com
pel the Italians to enrry the battle to
them at all times. While admitting
the failure to make definite advances,
the reports at the same time assert
that the Italians' are holding a consid
erable sretch of territory wrested from
the enemy. Aviators are declared to
have wrought heavy damage on the
Austrian border towns.
