WILL FOLLOW FORM
Americans Recognizing Impor
tance of Adhering Closely To
Mexican Constitution
(By Associated Press.)
Niagara Palls, June 13.-The crux
of the Mexican probiom, the selection
of a man for provisional pr?sident
acceptable to all factions in Mexico,
and foreign governments generally
-was reached taduy in a conference
between the mediators and the Amer
ican and Mexican delegates.
For more than an hour names of
various individuals were dlrcusBed, but
on none was th vre semblance-of any
agreement. Tomorrow there will be
another conference, on the ?aaie sub
ject. Details of the peace plans are
practically set aside now for thu great
er part task ot finding the mon cf the
hour-he who can reconcile the war
ring factions and maintain peace while
a Conrtltutiouallst election IB held and
normal order resumed.
Incidentally General Carranza's note
transmitted by Rafael Zuburan, his
representative in Washington, arrived
today advising mediators that Con
stitutionalist delegates were on their
way to the mediation- conference with
full Instructions.
The mediators made no comment on
the note. It contains no reference to
any ai mist ice, op which the mediators,
have been insisting and there was
nothing to show that tho-mediators
had In any way altered their.determi- ?
nation reached yesterday not to. ad- '
mit officially > the representatives of
The Constitutionalist representa
tives are needed hero to facilitate the
course of the'., peace program in Its
present stages tor in the discussion of
names they can be of much service to
mediation generally by indicating who
will or will not be acceptable.
At the present the mediators have
accomplished only ooe step In the
Journey toward the pacification. of
Mexico. This was the adoption yea
terda of the first protocol dealing with
the . transfer ot authority from the
hands of the present regime to a new
provisional government. Today's dis
cussion of the Second protocol defining
th? composition of the new govern
ment, its. form and personnel, was dis
cusssd by the American and Mexican
delegate* In an informai talk with the
mediators.- No-agree me nt was'reached
In the phraseology ot thk* plank in
the!peace plan, but it ls considered as
most likely that .lt will be set forth
that the new-government shall con
sist of a provisional president and
four cabinet ministers, comprising the
portfolios of foreign matters, finance,
war and> Interior. ,
Discussion baa: continued about the
type of men-for the provisional presi
dency, tho Mexican delegates claiming
that he should bo neutral in the sense
of not having boon Identified with any
political faction and the United States
insisting that ?her shall be of Consti
tutionalist .sympathies ao aa to pacify
that'element, bttt neutral and fair in
his dealings with all. It practically
has been' resolved to abandon gener
al lt lea absut. types and search for
the man whom all snail accept.
It can be ptated on the highest au
thority that the American delegates at
no time have suggested the name of
General Villa or General Carranza and
that they never intend to do so. They
think someone whom the Constitu
tionalists .will trust should bo placed
in power but dont themselves favor
a man who ?s so violently partisan
that he might be guided by prejudice
in the'performance of hts functions.
There are - no indications that an
agreement will he reached on tbs pro
visional president for many days, at
least,'although there ls likely to be
an early.' agreement on the organisa-,
tlon and form ol ute hew government.
Various. plans are before the medi
ators, o commission of five with, one
executive, a junta gobierno or council
bf three and.:a prov! ^ohai president
and four cabinet'minister. ,
The. huit will' be Insisted od .by' tfce
Mexicans aa moro, nearly th conform
ity with that provided by th? Mexican
constitution. , Tho American delegates
realise the Importance or form in this
connection and Will probably offer no
objection to that kind of an adminis
tration.' . Tho: ?fextcon delegate* re
ceived during the day the formal an
swer of the United States to their In
quiry, concerning the embargo on arma
by sea. Thg African government de
clares Its regret that the Antllla by
a mia understanding .should have ob

Willie tho American Liner New York,
westbound, was Motionless in a heavy
fog four hundred miles east or Amb
rose Lightship early today the Ham
burg-American Liner Pretoria, bound,
cant, ran into her nnd ripped a hole
twelve feet high and thirty two feet
long in her port side.
I Tho hole is flush with the main deck
and is firteen feet above the water line.
So great W?B the force of the collision
\ that the Pretoria's anchor was torn
from her bow and left hanging inside
the gap that had been torn in the New
York. Practically all cf the passeng
ers on both rhipB were asleep.
Immediately after the collision the
engines of both ships were ordered full
speed astern and passengers came hur
rying to the decks. The passengers
of the New York were able to reach the
bow bf the Pretoria as she pulled
way from her dangerous position.
There was no punic. Captain Rob
erts and Cider Officer Turner were
both on the br'ige at the time of the
collision. They reassured the fright
ened passengers, many of whom biir>
ried to the starboard side of the ship
anticipating a Hst to port Members
of the crew also; went among tho pas
sengers and urged them to be calm.
' becaWor;t^
was a^ont ten mjnutes before the .coi?
liston. .Darug this period tho Pretoria
replied constantly to fog sirens blown'
? by th? New York. .
! Captain Roberts blew two long
! otaste repeatedly for five minutes prior
to the collision. These whistles inoi
I coted that the New York had stopped.
' Suddenly there was a crash, succeed
ed by a sharp tearing sound as the
rteel plates and woodwork of the New
York were shattered by the Pretoria's
sharp bow.
Fortunately/.'the watch which occi
?pied the quarters behind that part ol
the ship which was crushed in, was or
j duty In the ?toke bole Had the col
lison occurred while this watch wus
I off duty a>humber'of'-'HvPs probably
would have been lost. The Pretoria
was less damaged by the collison than
the New York. Several , of the-plates
at her bow were sprung and twisted.
The passengers refused to return to
th?ir cabins "until, daylight. After it
was determined that, no serious dam

Announcement made That Wilson
Goes With Fleet To Panama
In March
(By Associated Press)
Washington, June 13.-President
Wilson '?ext March positively ' will
lead the American fleet of warships
from Hampton Roads to Colon to par
ticipate In the formal opening of thc
Panama Canal by passing through on
the bridge of the world-famous bat
tleship Oregon as leader of the long
line of fighting crafts of all nations
and then after proceeding northward,
enter the Golden Gate at the head of
the Immense armada and attend the
I'nnama Pacific Exposition at San
Francisco. , .
. This announcement was made today
by Secretary Daniels. Originally the
president was to go from Washington
to Hampton Roads to greet the com
manders of tho international fleet as
they arrived. Afterwards he WUB to
make tho trip by rail from San Fran
cisco to visit tho exposition at some
convenient time later.'
The president, however, has deter
mined to do full honor to the. expo
sition by making his advent on the
scene at the head of the armada, the
like of which the world has never seen.
Also he will redeem his long standing
promise to Colonel George W. Goethals
t / formally open the Panama Canal.
The president, according to thc pres
ent program, will leave Washington
from Hampton Roads, accompanied by
his official family, on the yacht. May

tional fleet will ha"J been gathering
in the Roads since January 1.
.'So far nine mar?timo countries have
announced they will take part In tho
parade through the canal and it ls
certain that there wilt be other par
ticipants. The countries that have ac
cepted are tho Argentine Republic,
Cuba, France, Germany, Groat Britain,
Japan, Portugal and Russia. The en
tire Atlantic fleet of the American
navy will form the nucleus around
.which the International naval forces
will-gather.
. After the ceremonies at Hampton
Roads, the president will take up his
quarters on the New York, which will
bo at that timo me most, formidable
vessel in the. world. The start will be
made for Colon wltb the New York
leading. There probably will be be
tween eighty and one hundred ships
in the procession.
, Exact details of the formal ceremo
nies in connection with the passage
of the great fleet ot warships at the of
ficial opening of the Panama canal
have not been completed. If all goes
well, the first vessels of the interna
tional fleet should pass through the
