WIRES ARE CUT Communication With {Mexican Capital Is At Ah End--Out come Unknown Washington, Sept. 25.-American forces will remain in Mexico until the question of authority between General Carranza and General Villa is settled. This was the concensus of opinion ni the administration officials > tonight, although no definite au hcuncement wea m**c. Secretary Garrison telegraphed General Funston at Vera Cruz not to load necessary baggage or supplies aboard transports, informing him that nt the lame time that the American forces would not be withdrawn "for at least ten days," until questions concerning the transfer of funds at the7 customs homo could be adjusted. Later the formal statement was is sued by the war department: < "Numerous inquiries were made at the war department and of General Funstons as to the date of the depar ture of the American, troops from Ve ra Cruz. Ip ylew of the matters which must be settled first, no date at the* present can be fixed, but in no event can thc departure take place within the next ten days, and General Fun ston was Sq advised. " Inasmuch as"" lol o era nh _. commuai * cailoir'H'iiL tic Mclcii city ie irregu lar, state department officious did not know when they could reach a satis factory understanding, with the Car ranza government- Officials also are considering thc postlblllty that Gener al Vil^a may object to the- American government's construction of the Car-, ronza authority as tho-"central gov ernment in Mexico", and other indica tions are that the big sum bf money collected for custom? by the Ameri can officers will not be delivered to any faction until there la the definite ly established Mexican government. Administration officials think that an agreement between Villa and Car ranza can be effected through the me diation of the Mexican leaders-. The anxiety of prominent constitutional ists in Mexico City to m?diat? th* riu. pute is regarded as a hopeful sign', as in Carranza'* declaration that he would not attack Villa. Som-e observers believe Villa's threats are designed more to show force either to prevent Carranza from placing1 in pr.0Vi8i6lonttl power.one,of his .subpbrters or to diminish Carran za's cll?n'Ces of being chosen pr?si dent in the general election. .

On the French right wing the ene my has begun to give way before the attacks of .the allies, coming from tlie direction of Nancy and Toul, ac cording to tho French official report. The report admits that the Germans have gained a footing on the Meuse heights and hive pushed forward in the direction St. Mihiel (on the right wing of the Meuse, 20 miles southeast of Verdun' but have not been able to cross the river.

The German center has been weak ened by the rush of troops from that position to meet the threatening move ment of the allies and two strong forces were .engaged at close quarters today between St. Quentin and Ter. gnier. Tho military . authorities naturally, refuse to permit the disclosure of the exact position of the fighting, but lt is generally known that the battle mow progressing ts of prime impor tance. Meanwhile at other part? of the bat tle line, which ls about 120 miles long, fighting continued today In dogged fashion?! The allied troops followed the example set by thc Ger mans and dug themselves deeply In. The artillery of both armies kept up an incessant fire while French and German aviators reconnr I te red from above. . . The commanders of the ailed forces haye found reason for the wonderful precision of the German tire in a spy discovered In their linea who signaled direct toe s. He waa caught and shot.

While the soldiers are occupying the advance dring lines they, are scarcely ever i without one hot meal a day, which is) orougtit to m t? in in camp avili'-'.? iroin the field kitchens. The British artillery official s praise highly the gnnery of their opponents. They declare that the German shells ilmout always burst at caccurate range, but orton too high to do dam ige.

The reports o' Commanders Nichol son, of the Cr and Norton, of the Hogue, state , "<e Aboukir waa hit by one tor p.. and sunk in 35 minutes. Three tc?* odoes were fired at the Cressy, one of the explosives missing. She lasted from thirty-five to forty-five minutes. The Hogue WSB struck twice, ten to twenty seconds elapsing between the torpedoes. She went under in five minuted. The.

Commantlor i Nicholson says the three topedoea di rected against hi* ship might have been fired by the same submarine and that there <s no real proof that more than one was engaged.. The. reports show tho strictest dis cipline waa maintained and tl at acts of heroism were performed, but the admiralty has estatyashed tjhe. rule that such, affaira mus! be governed by tito same laws as prevail in naval ac tions and that disabled ships must be left to their own resources rather than that other ships should be Jeopardis ed by rescue work. The atatemeut follows: "The facts of this affair cannot be better conveyed to the public than by the attached reports of the senior of ficers who have surveyed and have landed in England. 'The sinking of tho Aboukir was, of course, an ordinary hasard ot patrolling duty. The Hogue and the Cressy, however, were sunk because they proceeded to the assistance of their consort and: remained with en gines stopped, endeavoring to save life, thus presenting an easy and cer tain target to further submarine at tacks. 'The natural promptings of human ity tn this case have led to heavy losses which would have been avoid ed by strict adherence to military con. ?iderations.
