RUMOR OF BREMEN

Report Deutschland's Sister
Ship Due to Pass the Oapes
Before Today.
CRUISERS NEAR COAST
Norfolk, Va., July 23. From the
same source that Norfolk learned
two weeks ago tonight of the ap
proach of the giant German mer
chantman submarine Deutschland,
came a, prediction today that the
Deutschland's sister ship, the Bre
men, would pass in the Virginia capes
before Monday.
There was no official authority for
the news, but it spread quickly and
generally was credited. Soon after
nightfall, several vessels, some of
them " carrying newspaper corre
spondents and photographers, started
for Cape. Henry through a heavy rain
storm, hoping to welcome the ar
rival of the undersea craft, i
Will Go to Baltimore. '
It was believed that if the boat
reached the coast during the night, it
would head in immediately, as the
storm made Conditions most favor
able, It was expected to go directly to
Baltimore, stopping only to pick up
a Maryland pilot.
In spite of the news from Balti
more that the customs records there
did not show the clearance of the
Deutschland, what are regarded as
reliable reports received here say
it cleared today. Marine men point
out that, for neutrality reasons, the
records might be withheld from the
puDiic until the submarine nad oeen
given full opportunity to reach the
high seas and elude the allied war
ships waiting off the capes for its re
appearance. Cruisers Near Coast.
There are several cruisers a few
miles from the coast and they are in
constant touch with developments in
Chesapeake bay through British trad
ers leaving the harbor. One of the
warships fired a shot today across the
bow of an unidentified merchantman,
about ten miles out to sea. Accord
ing to persons, who witnessed the in
cident from Virginia beach, the
merchantman hove to at the warning
shot, and after being spoken by the
cruiser, was allowed to proceed.
Observers at Lane Henry reported
tonight that two warships had drawn
m closer than usual and tor the tirst
time were continuously using their
powerful searchlights to sweep the
entrance to the, bay. The outlines of
the ships were plainly visible despite
the rain. They were said to be barely
outside the three-mile limit. '

Juarez for a ull fight. But it will be
a charity affair to be held at the Plaza
De Toros, a week from tomorrow,

lations between Juarez and El Paso.
General Gonzales, the Juarez com
mander, with this object in view, to
day issued a special invitation to the
people of El Paso to attend. "
General Gonzales states, however,
that the moral reform initiated by the

laxed. ,He has just refused to allow
a night club in Juarez, although Gov
ernor Trevino had waived objections.
Gambling, cock fighting, the sale of
hard liquors and dancing resorts will
not be permitted, said the general.
It is learned here that the large
wireless station in Juarez built by
Villa is to be dismantled and taken to
Chihuahua City, to be set up at some
other point in Mexico.
In reply to a message informing
him ot the rumor ot the formation
of a so-called "legalist" party, Gen
eral Jacintd Trevino wired Consul
Garcia that before such a movement
could succeed in Mexico its leaders
i ould have to beat the constitutional
ist army. The legalist party is said
by rumor to have behind it certain
Mexican refugees, who are opposed
to Carrauza.

KUBOPATKIN . IS MOVING
London, Juy 23. The entent .allied
offensive, which swings between the
western and eastern fronts with al
most dock-like regularity, and in
manner almost completely to prevent
the central powers from making any
considerable transfers of troops from
front to front, now is centered on the
Russian front.
The forces under General Sak
haroff have taken the offensive ener
getically and their victory in the
salient formed by the junction of the
Lipa and Styr rivers southwest of
Lutsk; todav appears 'to be much
more important than either the offi
cial claims trom fetrograa or tne
Austrq-German transmission: pf yes

General Sakharoff Tias "the-enemy
retreating in disorderly flight before
his forces.' Having forced the pas
sages of the Styr and Lipa, the Rus
sian troops are already beyond
Berestechk, having in two days' fight
ing taken prisoner from the Austro
Germans, 300 officers and 12,000 men.
In addition the Russians have cap
tured a quantity of war booty. The
number of Austro-Germans captured
in the operations on the eastern fronts
since July 16, now total 26,000.
By his success in driving the Austro-Germans
from the Styt-Lipa
salient, General Sakharoff has estab
lished his forces firmly on the right
bank of the Lipa up to about twenty
kilometres (about thirteen miles)
above its conflueince with the Styr.
Meanwhile, General Kuropatkin Is
stilt pressing forward against the
forces of Field Marshal von Hinden

The British press gives prominence
to statements published in the French
press and credited to General Joffre

"Mr. Riley's death was due to paraly

MANY FREAKS OT DISASTER
San Francisco, July " 23. Police
have secured no tangible traces of
the person who left a timed suitcase
to explode on a downtown street cor
ner during a preparedness parade,
killing half a dozen persons and in
juring more than, forty others.
San Franciso, Cal., July 23. "It
looked as if the sidewalk went straight
up into the air," said Colonel Thoman
F. O'Neill, former sheriff of San Fran
cisco, who was io the line of march
ers, "until there , was a loud, terse
noise, lots of smoke and dust and criel
of wounded and shouts."
One police officer was standing
alongside his horse twenty-five feet
from the scene. Both were knocked
down by the explosion, the man fall
ing on top of .he animal. .
' Theories of the Police. : ,
Several theories were put forward
tonight by the police. One was that
the owner of the suitcase had intended
to set it out along the line of the pa
rade, but was delayed, and, knowing
the bomb was timed, left it standing
by the side of the saloon.
One of the marchers in the parade,
who was there when the bomb ex
ploded, but escaped, said:
"I was standing in a crowd right
near the point where the explosion
occurred. I whirled with the sound.
It was like tryinrr to dive through
tidal wave to get through the mass of
men, women and children that charged
toward me." ,
Veterans Denounce Anarchy.
- When the parade dispersed the di
vision of California Spanish War Vet
erans, the division nearest the explo
sion, marched to the city hall and held
an indignation meeting, declaring that
an anarchist meeting against prepar
edness scheduled for tonight would
be broken no..- . r .. iJU.-.
I Many divisions of the for part of
tne-paraoe Knew Doming ot tne explo
sion and terrifying scenes behind un
til they bought newspaper extras.
District Attorney Charles F. Fickert
said he thought the bomb had been
placed by a fanatic who had been in
cited to the act by listening to the
speeches and arguments of those op
posed to the preparedness parade. He
said every effort . would be made to
apprehend the culprit. . ...
Josephson Denies Knowledge,
Josephson, the suspect, was arrested
while making a speech after the explo
sion in which he is said to have lauded
cnarchy and declared: "This is noth
ing." After his arrest, however, he
said that he was not an anarchist and
denied having any knowledge of the
bomb explosion.
The handle of the suitcase which
contained the explosives, together
with part of the lock and pieces of
clockwork, were picked up near the
scene. . . ,-...-'.... .j ,
The deaths of two of the bomb vic
tims was due to . chance meeting.
Howard Knapp and his wife met G.
C. Lawlor,'a lumber salesman of their
acquaintance, at the corner a few min
utes before -the explosion. ' It was
their first meeting in several weeks
and they paused to chat. SLawlor and
Mrs. Knapp were killed outright
Veterans Respond to Training.
To men of the Grand Army of the
Republic who had faced exploding
shells at Vicksburg and Gettysburg
fell the task of averting panic when
the ranks of the paraders were split
by the shrapnel-like blast. The grix
zled veterans were almost on the
scene of the explosion when the de
tonation came. For a moment, while
crawling . .ronien and men could be
seen groping painfully through the
smoke caused by the bomb, the lines
halted in confusion and disruption
seemed imminent.
Then some unnamed marcher
sprang to the front of the thin blue
hue and called "Attention!"' ' " '
Instantly his comrades returned to
their places and the ''little column
marched past the huddled heaps of
