So far as Sonorn, Mcx., la concerned, Presi dent Vllson's warning to tho Mexican chiefs to Join In tho establishment ot peace, Is not expected to hato much cjfect. for tho reason that tho Varjul Indians aro beyond all control, and liavo proclaimed an Independent gov ernment of molr own. What tho United States will do In their caso Is a matter of curiosity to Mexican lead- era of all factions, who aro wholly tinablo to copo with them. For thirty years nrlor to tho out- b rente of tho Madoro revolution In 1911, Sonora was mora or less under military law, owing to tho turbulonco ot the Yuquls, who had been despoil ed ot their rich lands In tho Yaqut valley on tho west const of Mexico by Porflrlo Dins. Theso land have passed In large areas Into tho hands of Amorlcans and other foreigners. Revolutionary lenders of various political affiliations have won temporarily tho support of Yanula by promises ot tho restora tion of tho lands. As fast as they failed to redeem these promises tho Yaquls turned against thoni. Tho last man they supported was Joso Maytorona, governor of Sonora and Villa leader. Lately tho Indians re belled against him, set up an Inde pendent nation and declared war on nil Moxlcans.

WArHIINOTON, Juno '2. Count Hcnistorff, the German ambassador, had an audience with President Wil son at noon. The president received tho ambassador in the historic blue room of tho white house. Tho ambassador motored to the white hou-c through a downpour of ruin. The president, wearing a cuta way tint, appeared in the blue room promptly nt 12 o'clock. The ambas sador was in n formal frock attire. Isaac Hoover, tho chief usher at the white house, announced the ambassa dor. The president nnd ambassador sat down on a davcnjHirt and began n half hour talk. Inasmuch as the con ference was of an informal charac ter, no announcement concerning it was expected. Kxplalas Vlowpotrrt It wns understood, however, that the object of the ambassador's call was to gain from (ho president an idea of tho points in the. last Ameri can note which the United States is determined to insist uon, and to give tho president an idea of the-Gcrman iewpoint. Tho president, it was said, showed willinguess to explain the po sition of the United States and to innko it clear that it had been decid ed on only after cnreful considera tion by the cabinet yesterday, when it was decided to Fend a note of inquiry asking whether the imperial govern ment would abide by the principles of international law. The president, it also was understood, gave his views expecting the umbasMtdor to en lighten tho Berlin government on the earned intentions of tho United States to obtain a strict accountabil ity for tho loss of Americans on the Lusitnnin. Tho vLit was friendly and cordial. Silence Over later lew Whilo Count Hcrnstorff was in tho blue room with tho president, tho Italian ambassador, Count Mncohi de Colore, arrived, but the two diplomats whoso nations aro on opposite sides in tho war, did not meet. White hottso officials declined to make any statement regarding Count Hcrnstorft's usit, saying tho engage ment wns mado at tho ambassador's request and that it would bo improper for the president to say anything con cerning it. Reports that tho ambassador had mado any definito proposals were generally discounted. Tho president lias already begun the preparation of the next note to Germany, and it was not expected that the call of tho nut- bnssador would have any material ef fect on either its senso or its word ing.

To carry out thec instrueitens "aptain Sievert was able to dispose ef one battalion of only272 men, or one third of its normal fighting stre-sgin, before going into battle. His note book contains repealed deaands for "Wo absolutely need a mply aff hand grenades," it an entry "in iUe diary under date of May 11. The number which Captain Sievert bad was insufficient and he could not carry out his attack. Furthermore, 'he lack of ,ptojectile) prevented all chance pf succes-j. Kxpeaed to ArtHtary Fkv loiter there was more trouble for the captain. Orders were badly given and confusion of sectors made nec essary marches nnd eounter-marche under French artillery fire.
