Zapatistas Agree to Let Food

Relieving Situation.
fBy the International News Scrrice.)
Washington. March 13.-fThese are
latest developments in the Mexican
situation:
Spain has informed this ;government
that since" the killing of John B, Mc
Manus, an American citizen, conditions
in Mexico City have become worse
than ever and an urgent request has
been made of the United States to
obtain better protection for the Span
iards. Secretary of State Bryan today sent
a telegram to Special Agent Carothers,
who is with Villa, repeating his de
mands that the murderers of McManus
be punished. Villa and Zapata, who is
at present in control of the capital,
are in alliance.
No word has been received at the
state department informing It that its
demands for the punishment of the
murderers have been complied with.
It was learned today that the latest
note to General Carranza was an "ac
knowledgment of his comnfunication to
President Wilson and reiterated the
demand of thi.s government that pro
tection be given to Americans and
other foreigners.
Aim to Avoid Responsibility.
Furthermore it developed today that
the suspicion that there has existed
among the various' factions of Mexico
an understanding by which each could
avoid as long as possible responsibil
ity for outrages against Americans and
other foreigners in Mexico City has
caused the state department to take
steps to prevent it being operated any
longer. '
The demands have been so worded
as to ask what territory "may come
under his control.' In this way an
issue raised s with Carrarma 'or Villa,
as the case -1 may "BeV" concerning the
situation in ' Mexico City cannot be
disposed of by either simply abandon
ing the-city ; temporarily so that new
representations would have to be made
to the other.

By Bond P. Geddes, Uniied Press
Staff Correspondent.
New York, Mai clt 18. Freedom,
complete and permanent, from jails
and : insane wards was glimpsed ;.: to
night down a vista of litigation! by
Harry K. Thaw from behind the bars
of his Tombs cell. !
Acquittal today of Thaw and his
four assistants in his dramatic escape
from the Matteawan asylum on the
conspiracy charge was hailed by Thaw
as an omen of certain release. - New
York state attorneys declared as pos
itively ' that Thaw would b ' quickly
returned to the asylum for the crim
inally insane. I
Another legal battle is to be staged
Monday before Supreme Court Justice
Page, on Thaw's motion to be ij re
turned to New Hampshire. Thls it
seems probable, will .be the opening
gun in another legal battle to decisive
ly establish or deny Thaw's sanity.
A charge to the Jury by Justice
Page turned the scales in Thaw's
favor. He ruled that the Jury should
consider, In determining whether Thaw
intended a crime when he escaped,
whether he misconceived his rights by
believing he" was sane and had a right
to walk out. I
The Jury today, made it evident hat
it was upon this ruling that they based
their verdict of acquittal. j
Deputy Attorney General Kennedy
declared tonight that the verdict Jwill
have no result upon Thaw's "ultimate
fate. He will ask the courts Monday
afternoon, when arguments -will be
held, to return the slayer of Stanford
White to Matteawan under the original
finding of Justice Dowling. The state
contends that, although f ound ! not
guilty of conspiracy, having the ("in
sane patient" in its jurisdiction gives
it the right to return Thaw to the
asylum.
This question is the "meat of the
dispute to be threshed out Monday. If
adverse to Thaw, a habeas corpus is
ready for another test of Thaw's san
ity. Upon this a jury trial " will be
demanded. If Thaw loses again, I his
counsel plans to appeal all thtp way up
to the United States supreme court.
They contend that sole authority under
the New Hampshire extradition (was
for . the conspiracy trial, as evidenced
by the supreme court's opinion; (and
that, acquitted of conspiracy. Thaw
can not be held for any other purpose.

of peace, when he gave his decision
to the California ripe olive. In a
letter to the California Ripe Olive
Day association. Secretary Bryan
awards his verdict as follows: I fe .
; "The olive is a hardy tree which
survived the deluge and when the dove
carried his message to, Noah it was
a tribute to the tree as well as a
message of peace. The plive branch
from time immemorial has been asso
ciated with the dove as emblematic
of peace, but as the fruit Is greater
than the branch, the California ripe
olive should have its fame linked, not
only with peace, but with prosperity
and abundance.".- . , ,
Continuing, Secretary Bryan i says
that California Ripe; Olive day will
be duly observed in Washington. He
writes: .
"I am one of . the few Miving out
side of California who has had a. long
and Intimate acquaintance with the
California ripe olive, which I regard
as most delicious and a wholesome
food, and I shall be glad to Join with
you in celebration of 'California -Ripe
Olive Day by. partaking of the feast
which" the olive growers of California
have made possible.'' ,

Von Hindenburg,. has outwitted - the
Russians agaln .Using the same tac
tics that resulted so successfully in,
the Mazurian lakes fighting, his right
wing has forced an advancing Russian
army to turn back In sudden retreat.
The Russians who swept Westward
toward ' Augustof have fallen 'back
more than to miles. They have lost
at least 20,000 in killed, wounded and'
prisoners. That their casualties were
not larger undoubtedly was due to the
fact that the opposing forces on both,
sides had been Jieavily drawn upon by
the armies now concentrating for an
important engagement around l'rzas
nysz. The Slavs who crossed the Bobr
pursued the same blundering tactics
that led to Von Hlmienburg's over
whelming victory in the lake region
less than muuth ago. Without re
gard for the strength of the German
massed about Aigustof, they rushed
Westward wit hj the object of piercing
the German line.
When the trap was ready, Von Hin
denburg sprung it. Part of a Rus
sian division was annihilated; the re
mainder of the KuKslan forces cut
their way out after desperate fight
ing. . As In their retreat from Darkeli
men. in February, the S'avs have
abandoned .dead, wounded and war
munitions. An official statement from
the war office today announced that

East of Huwalkt. in North PolanJ,
the Germans continue their ' efforts
to advance, but have been repeatedly
checked. To the north, near Klrnm?,
a German detachment was threatened
by RuHfllan cavalry. Russian artil

The bombardment of the fortruDs of

Petrograd, March 13. The Novo
Vremya states 'that the kaiser recently
went to Khonsele to see his troops
start for the front. Freezing weather
prevails which-, prevents '.he troops
from making up light entrenchments.
The enemy. It, is believed, calculates
on hurling such masses of troops
againjt an inferior number of Rus
sians as to prove irresistible- An
avalanche of Germans Is now. coming
along the same roads as were tra
versed during the enemy s retreat
when the rear guard had to fight de.
perately all the time to avoid com

Our aeroplanes discovered the enemy
pushing with methodical speed down
the boggy vaiiey leading from the
frontier to Narew. The German forces
are numbered at nearly 400,000,
In the 'Tight for Przasynsz the at
tack on Zedwabno Is the most Import
t.nt of all because If the Russian

flank the besiegers at Ossowlec and
also be atle to attack the forces now
operating In the rear.
