Kvidcnce of this attack was found to day in the American stockyards, where the body of one Yaqui and many empty shells indicated the principal attack. Casualties on the Mexican eide are vaguely stated. Hill lost eight killed and 57 wounded. Maytorena's loss is reported to be from 20 to 200.

Hatfield, the brigade commander, came from Douglas, Ariz., to take command ofrthe troops of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry. The troops served notice upon the two Mexican factions that they would le held personally liable for the results Of their misdirected fire. In spite of this warning, the eight day siege of Naco, Sonora, has been in cidentally a small arras bombardment of Naco, Ariz., the two towns adjoining across the boundary line. The rear attack of the Yaquis" last night was responsible for much of the fire across the line. They drew the garrison's fire toward them and di rectly at the American town. Seven of the Yaquis were captured by Hill and executed today. BELGRADE HALF RAZED DEriO.XDERS STILL RESIST APl'ER 11 DAYS' BOMBARDMENT.

ROUMANJA ALSO PREPARES Entrance Into War Is Said to Be Question of Days, With Austrlans Believing Their Iruture Is De pending on Two Nations. LONDON, Oct. 5. The Daily Mail correspondent at Chiasso. Switzerland, says: "The Italian Government is spending $10.00,000 on "Winter outfits for troops, including woolen vests and fur coats, suitable for a campaign in the moun tains. The Italian army Is now quite ready for any eventuality." A Venetian newspaper, however, an nounces that Italian workmen have been obliged to leave Roumania be cause that country is preparing for war, the popular voice insisting on it. According to them, it is only a ques tion of days. The Messaggero's Vienna correspodent has been told by a high Austrian personage that Austria's fu ture depends upon Italy and Roumania. The Morning Post correspondent at Rome says: "The President of - the Roumanian Senate has arrived in Berlin on a po litical mission. In an interview pub lished by the Vossische Zeitung the president asserts that the last Cabinet council and last privy council presided over by King Carol decided on the preservation of absolute neutrality. "If Italy, said this informant, "hurled herself n Austria, Roumania would do the same, and then Austria could not resist, nor could Germany save her. As long, however, as the present Foreign Minister remains, we Austrians are persuaded that Italian neutrality can be maintained." Kssad Pasha, accompanied by 12,000 armed men, has entered Durazzo in triumph, after four months of exile.

The Gior nale FVItalia urges a positive act on the part of Italy to establish her right to decide the fate of Valona as the key of the Adriatic. Such an act, accord ing to the Giornale D'ltalia, would in volve no change in Italy's neutral atti tude. Interesting Sidelights Creep Out of Conflict. Rfd iroM 3N'ure Has Fw Comforts Ifr to Fcminln Mr art Ameri can Multi-Millionaire Scrubs Wounded and Unwashed TarcoH Much Mourning ow In Berlin. PARIS. Oct. 11. The Red Cross nurse on duty on the European battle fields has to do without the little com forts dear to the feminine heart. She must face many of the hardships of a soldier. She is allowed no trunk, yet has to transport 32 articles of equipment, in addition to the intimate articles of her wardrobe. In her duffle bag, which takes the place of a trunk, are packed: Six dresses, four caps, one cape, one brassard. 10 aprons, one sweater, one duffle bag, six collars, one felt hat, one heavy blanket. The cost of the above equipment is $31.13. The salary of a regular nurse while on duty is $60 a month. Chief nurses receive $166 a month. The surgeon's equipment costs more, but contains fewer articles. The sur geon is permitted to carry: Two uniforms, one pair puttees, one heavy blanket, one overcoat, one service hat, one brassard, three flannel shirts, one duffle bag. The cost of this equipment is 974.75. A surgeon director receives $250 a month and an assistant surgeon direc tor receives $166.66. A total of $283,043 has been expended and obligated for by the American Red Cross for relief work in the present European conflict. EN and women, bearing, some bt them, the -prominent American names, are working in the Neuilly Hos pital at the most menial tasks with ad mirable self-abnegation. It is the duty of an American multi-millionaire to see to it that wounded Turcos, some of whom have been without a change of clothes for a fortnight, are thoroughly and conscientiously scrubbed. Dollar princesses are busy rolling bandages and preparing dressings. VISITOR to the American Hospital at the Turcos: "Splendid fellows the Turcos are, most of them, with ttieir white teeth and fiery, feverish Eastern eyes. They smoke incessantly, some of them 80 cigarettes a day. But English cigar ettes are not fiery enough for their palate. Fortunately, I had brought with me a number of English maga zines, and one of them, the most pro fusely illustrated, I left for the Turcos' delight. "They love pictures, said the nurse, 'and will lie looking at them for hours at a time. "One of them, a magnificent fellow, with the torso of Hercules, is tho joy of the ward. He has a smile that will not come off. He was not so cheerful when he came in, for it had been found necessary to remove one of his front teeth, which had been: split in a fierce hand-to-hand encounter. Our Turco mourned the loss till he was assured that he would be given a gold one a nice, yellow, shining gold one in its place. Since then he has not ceased to smile." a; English Hussar, wounded at Com- piegne, showed a correspondent the bullet that had shattered his thigh an ugly missle, with all the appear ance of an explosive bullet. The point was bored, and the lead behind had spread out and flattened. He got the man who fired it. He had been through all the fighting, from Mons to Com peigne. They had seldom had more than a couple of hours' consecutive sleep. "We slept with our arms through our horses' bridles. But it's a grand life," he said, with gusto, "and I want to be back at it." He had only contempt for the Uhlans. " e came upon a dozen of them one day in a village. We were seven, but as soon as they saw us up went their hands. We took them all." A packet of English cigarettes the first he had smoked for a month were a welcome boon. He lay back, and took his first inhalation with an infinite satisfaction. English soldiers seem to find the French tobacco too harsh and strong. Newspapers, too, are always welcome, for in modern warfare it is the looker on who sees most of the great game. ERLIN, Oct. 11. There is mourning n Berlin. Each day more and more death cards "for Xing and Fatherland" appear among the advertisements in the papers. A son, a husband, a brother. Is lamented. The number of black bordered cards fill a page of each paper. And this is true in every town in Ger many. Newspapers from Hanover, Co logne, Aix-la-Chapelle all tell the same tale. The stream of wounded grows. Night after night the trains rumble into Berlin and the long procession of am bulances start, and now those who stay at home receive back unopened the let ters they have been sending to rela tives at the front. In red ink across the face of the envelope is written the one pregnant word, "Gefallen." ROYAL CAPTURES DENIED Germans Moving Swiftly After Bel gium's King and Queen. LONDON. Oct. 11.

Edison says that anyone skilled in chemistry, with a day's work, can put fish gills in a submarine. To his mind, it's no task to extract oxygen from salt water.

After Beeing the Inter ior workings of a warship and subma rine today for the first time in his life, the Inventor said that he "couldn't get enthusiastic" about perfecting weapons of war.

"Of course, the gyroscope instantly finds the point of no motion." he com mented. - "Now. why In the dickens shouldn't they have thought of that be fore, I can't see."
