MEXICO CITY, Juno 29.—•
Trevino reports that the Americans
are now retiring northwards and
lave abandoned their former camps
at San Buena Vista, Las Cruces,
Namiquipa and Santa Clara.
No particular significance is at
tached to this withdrawal.
COLUMBUS, June 29.—Reports
reaching here state that the Car
ranza enveloping movement around
the Pershing expedition continues.
Most of these reports are bare
facedly alarmist, unofficial and cal
culated to arouse ana inflame public
opinion, the news agencies being
particularly culpable of late.
EL PASO, June 29.—The releas
ed troopers arrived here this even
ing and were given a warm recep
tion by the thousands who flocked
to meet them.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 29.—
It is now believed in official circles
that the Mexican muddle has solved
itself by the firm action of the ad
ministration and the possibility of
war is remoter than it has been In
several weeks. Lansing in a strong
statement to Mexico says emphati
cally that the United States govern
ment will not accept mediation, will
not withdraw troops nor in any
way submit the matter to negotia
tions until the border raids have
permanently ceased.
The Mexican government is ap
parently not desirous of forcing
1 matters.

THOUSAND MORE, GALICIA

veloping movement east of Rawa
ruska and taken prisoners by the
Russians.

section is slowly retiring before the
Russian advance.
BERLIN, June 29.—The Russians
today opened up a now offensive
north of Pinsk and the Grodno lines ^
where they are now pressing for- (
I ward with the same fierce artillery
i activity that marked their onslaught
in Galicia and Bukowina. They are
apparently well supplied with mu
nitions. The German troops are suc
cessfully repulsing all attacks.
VIENNA, June 28.—Further with
drawals in the extreme eastern sec
tions of Galicia are admitted in or
der to enable the Austrian troops to
co-operate more successfully witli
the German forces. Von Linsingen
Is satisfied that the Russian force
is now spending itself in innumer
able unimportant attacks without
measurable result.
PETROGRAD, June 29.—The si
tuation in Bukowina is completely
satisfactory, the last of the Austrian
forces being practically ejected to
day in heavy fighing.

Casement Found Guilty
■ 9 ‘ “
LONDON, June 29.—A large and
distinguished audience graced the
court room when the closing scenes
in the otherwise not very sensation
al trial of Sir Roger Casement for
high treason were witnessed.
Casement throughout the ordeal
was apparently indifferent until the
testimony describing his leaving the
submarine and landing upon the
shores of Ireland were recited when
he appeared rather animated than
disturbed.
The instructions of the court were
i
delivered by the judge in an unusu
allly formal maner without any at
tempt to magnify the career which
had just Ijeen reviewed in evidence
The court did not even rebuke Case
ment for his treason, but dealt with
the law and the facts in a mannei
which left little or no hope oi
acquittal. Casement's counsel inti
mated that often his client was ir
responsible and peculiarly sensitive
to what he conceived as individua
and national wrong. Hyper-sensi
tive was the expression used. Case
ment smiled when his counsel grew
eloquent, the only time that ha
seemed to awaken from his general
apathy.
The jury was out but a short time
and returned with a verdicC of
guilty without any recommendation
for mercy.
The court immediately sentenced
Casement to death, the convicted
man declining to make any state
ment as clearly useless and there
fore only a waste of time.

BRITISH CONTINUE THE
UNUSUALLY INTENSE FIRE
LONDON, June 29.—Paris dis
patches confirm the war office reports
' as to the British cannonading
along the entire lines held by them
in a most Vinusual manner. With
out the use of infantry, along many
l miles, the artillery fire compelled
the Germans to evacuate the first
lines of trenches.
The reports of the cannonading
are heard in Holland and in Paris.
PARIS, June 29.—The unusual'v
heavy cannonading which the Brit
ish artillery is now carrying. on s
literally enveloping tlie front from
Flanders to the Somme in a curtain
of deadly tire. Large and small
guns are being used with extraor
dinary results. Here the sound ot
the artificial thundering can be
clearly heard without a second's ces
sation all day.
BERLIN, June 29.—What is be
lieved to be preliminary to an at
tempted offensive beyond by the
I British is now witnessed in a viol
cut artillery bombardment of tho
German lines particularly intense
from Labassee to Hie Somme. Tho
bombardment is upon a more exten
sive scale than used by any side in
the war. Very rainy weather is pre
vailing which is not favorable lo
| infantry operations, but an attack'
■ is expected by the Germans when
jthe weather Improves. Some small
! casualties are reported among divi
sional staffs due to busting shells
from long range guns.
