Americans Recognizing . Impor
tance of Adhering Closely To
Mexican Constitution
(By Associated Press.)
Niagara Falls. Juno 13.-Thc crux
of the Mexican problem, the selection
of a man for pi "visional president
acceptable to atl factions in Mexico,
and foreign governments generally
-waa reached today in a conference
between tho mediators and the Amer
ican and Mexican delegates.
For more than an hour names of
various individuals were discussed, but
on none was there semblance of any
agreement. Tomorrow there will be
another conference on thc came sub
ject. Details of the peace plans are
practically set aside now for the great
er part task of finding the man of the
hour-ho who can reconcile tho wur
ilng factions and maintain peace while
a Constitutionalist election ls 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 tho mediation conference with
full instructions.
Tho mediators made no comment on
thc note. It contains no reference to
any armistice, on which the mediators
have been insisting and there was
nothing to show that thc mediators
had In any way altered .tholr determi
nation reached yesterday net to ad
mit; officiallythe representatives o?
General Carran ea unless - an armistice
was' declared." 'Bomb bUier1 way 1 bf
dealing with" W?ffil^pdrH?'?b" ttfrough
the.American delegates, may be found
when they arrive.
Thc Constitutionalist representa
tives arc needed herc to facilitate thc
course of thc pence program in its
prci?nt stagC3 for in thc discussion of
namer, they can bc of much service to
mediation generally hy indicating who
will or wiii not bc acceptable. .
At the present the mediators have
accomplished only one step in thc
journey toward the. pacification of
Mexico. This was the adoption yea?
terda of thc ?rst protocol dealing with
the transfer of authority from the
hands of thc present regime to a now
provisional government. Today'r. dis
cussion of the second protocol defining
tho composition of the new govern
ment, its form and personnel, was dis
cussed by tho American and Mexican
delegates in an informal talk with the
mediators. No agreement was reached
In the phraseology of this plank in
the peace plan, but lt ls considered as
most likely that lt wilt 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 tntorior.
Discussion has continued about the
type of men for the provisional presi
dency, thc Mexican delegates clatming
that he should be - neutral in the sense
of not having been Identified with apy
political faction and tho United States
lush ting that he cbalt be of Consti
tutionalist sympathies so aa to pacify
that olemcnt, but neutral and fair in
his dealings with alL It practically
has been resolved to abandon gener
alities abuut types and ' search for
the man whom all ruriii accept.
. It can be stated oh the highest au
thority that the American delegates.at
no time havo suggested the name of
General Villa or General Ca rr ari ea and
that they never Intend to do so. They
think Romeo de whom the .'Constitu
tionalists, will trust sb mld.be placed
in power but don't tnemrelves favor
a man who le so violently partisan
that he might be guided- by prejudice
in the performance of 'his functions.'
There are no indications that an
agreement will bo reached on the pro
visional president for many days, at
least, although ibero is likely to bo
an < *v/ly agreement cm the organisa
tion and form of tho new government.
Various - plans are before tho medi
ators, a commission of five with one
executive, a junta gobierno or council
of three and a provisional president
and four cabinet, minister.
The last will bo insisted on by the
Mexicans as more nearly In conform
ity With thai, provided by the Mexican
constitution, The American delegates
realizo the importance bf form in this
connection and will probably offer no
objection to that kind of an adminis
tration. The Mexican delegates re
ceived during the day-the formal an
swer of the United State? to their in
quiry concerning tho embargo on arms
by sea. The American government de
clares Ita regret that the Antills by
a misunderstanding should have ob
tained clearance papers, which permit
ted lt tb land arms at T?mpico for the
Constitutionalists, but called attention
to Ute strict orders which now aro in
effect prohibiting all exportations cf
arms to Mexico. '

(By Associated Press.)
On boura steamship New York, June
13.-Via Siusconsett, Muss., Juno 13.
Willie the American Liner New York,
westbound, was notionlcss in a heavy
fog four hundred miles east o? Amb
rose Lightship early today the Ham
burg-American Liner Pretoria, bound
east, ran into ber and ripped a hole
twelve feet high and thirty two feet
long in her port side.
The hole is flush with the main deck
and IB fifteen feet above tho water line.
So great was the force of the collision
that, the Pretoria's anchor was torn
from her bow and left banging Inside
the gap taut had been torn in the New
York. Practically all of the passeng
ers on both rhips were asleep.
Immediately after the collision the
engines of both ships were ordered full
speed astern and passengers came hur
rying to thp^ flecks. The passenpers
of the New York were able to reach the
bow of the Pretoria as she pulled
away from her dangerous position.
There was no panic. Captain Rob
erts and Chief Officer Turner wore
both on thc br'ige at the timo of the
collision. They reassured the fright
ened passengers, many of whom hur
ried to the starboard side of tho ship
anticipating a list to port. Members
of the crew also went among the i:as
scngers and urged them to bc calm!
Upon the orders of Gupta fn tit J berts,
.the bulkheads bf the New York 'were
closed' at 12.52 o'clock this morning
l ecau.se of thc density of the fog. This
was about ten minutes before thc col
lision. Buring this period the Pretoria
replied constantly to fog tirons blown
by the New York.
Captain Boberts blew -two long
nlastr repeatedly for five minutes prior
to the collision. These whistles Indi
cated that the New York hat' stopped.
Suddenly there wu? a crash, succeed
ed by a sharp tearing tound as the
rteel plates and woodwork of the New
York were shattered by the Pretoria's
?harp bow.
Fortunately the watch which occu
pied the quarters behind that part ol
the Bhlp whic.-i was crushed in. was or
duty iu lite sl?ke hoi? Had the. cal
Bison occurred while this watch waa
oft duty a number ot lives 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
therr cabins until daylight. After lt
was determined tlar. no s-.*rlouH dam
ago had been done to either of the
shlpB they preceded on their way.

After the vote of the canal bill, Sen

take up the immigration bill, which his
committee bab .reported, but he
was promptly .blocked, as he has us
ually been oh this measure. Senator
Martin, of Virginia, nailed up the leg

stood here that the majority of tho Ad

throwing the immigration question
over until the next session, and Sena

against heavy odds in trying to get
this measure up for action. He will
repeat his efforts later in the present

f 'went ab^^
i fore tho Enghsb .hullongers
?in the first game of t io mated) for the
international polo cup by a score of 8
1-2 to 3. After the first flurry in the
opening perlcd the defending four
were outplayed and out-sprinted by thc
Hurlfhgham club representatives und
the English ponies.
The defeat came as a great surprise]
to moirt of tho forty thousand spec-1
? tatars who had made tho defenders tau
to seven favorites in the wagering
? They wore quick tc appreciate thc
brilliant play of thc invaders, however,
and the stands rang with applause at
the work of the EngliBb riders.
The English players" superiority be
came apparent with the bell in thc op
ening period and it appeared to upset
the defending four, which never re
covered the form shown In recent prac
tice games until thc closing minutes of
the game. The challengers gave the
finest exhibition of team work ever
seen in an Ir.vading four. Their stick
work was a revelation. .
The Amer.can four waa far weakev
than was tin case last year and In ad
dition was . lied on to face a team
which surpat &od in skill and speed the
combination which just failed to lift
thc cup in 1913.
The absence of former Captain Har
ry Payne. Whitney, appeared to break
up the perfect combination play for
which the "big four" has been noted.
The Americans overrode thc ball,
missed easy strokes and wero easily
ridden off by other English opponents.
The English. ponies were faster on
tbelr feet and better handled.
The play in general waa fast and
without accidents. The score was the
largest run up in recent years by
cither United States or English teams
in a cup match.
Not since the "big four" defeated
the Hur.ingham Club 8 to 2 In the fi
nal game of the 1909 serlos h ave to
day's figures been exceeded.
The game also developed thc quick
est goal ever made in international cup
play when Captain Cho?pe scored

Home, June 13.- Dreams of a golden
ngc. with the high cost of living end
ed, ure doomed to bc shutterod in the
villages and towns of province
of Haven na with the arrival tomor
row of ten thousand troops and tho
news that thc proposed national rail
way strike has been abandoned and
order is being restored, even in tho
districts where a virtual revolutlou
ary movement wus in progress.
The attempt of anarchists, reupbli
:*ans and sociollBts to deal a death
blow to mouarchlal institutions was
f rust rated because of tho refusal of
the railway men to bring about a
strike which would virtually {iavo
paralyzed the forces of the govern
ment.
The troops now are completely In
control of tho main centers ot the
malu insurrection. Train service has
not been interrupted to nny great ex
tent, although many of the province?
still arc infested with revolutionists
who are dentroylng the railroad track,
stations and bridges and damaging
public buildings.
The entire- situation has improved
greatly during the past 24 hours.
Many workmen are engaged in the
repair of railway tracks and telegraph
-and telephone lines at Ancona, center
beeb an exceeding difficult one, ow
ing to the fact that they had been
ordered not to.uso their arms, except
under circumstances of dire necessi
ty.
Ignorant masses in tho affected dis
tricts, seeing that the Inhabitants of
thc small towns had been armed by
the republican committee, gained the
impression that any form of violence
would bc permitted. Churches and
clubs were sncked and burnbd, but
In the case of private residences, the
revolutionists asked the owners* per

News that nn Italian republic bad
been proclaimed in several towns
bordering on thc Adriatic tn north
eastern Italy today caused consterna
tion nt thc capital. In places like
Fahriano and Rimini -scones similar
to those or the French revolution were
enacted. Misled by reports from an
archistic headquarters at Ancona, that
the monarchy had been overthrown,
inhabitants proclaimed a republic and
replaced thc national flag with the
black banner of Ute peasants' league.
Newspapers were burned the instant
they reached these towns in order to
?r?vent the people from learning the
falsity of the reports that King Bm
inanel lind fled to Montenegro,. that
thc revolution had swept the entire
peninsular and that the troops had
joined tlie people. In some cases the
troops were forced to restore .order
and several fatalities were recorded.
One of the most violent excesses
occurred at the village of Saut 'Agata,
near Lugo, where rioters attacked the
city hall, burned the church and, af
ter forcing the priest to give the mob
all the wine .in th" church cellar?
stripped him, burning his cassock in
the public square and forced him to
accompany them.
Deputy Monti-Guarnleri, of Pesaro, (
which lies between Rimini and An
cona, reached the chamber of deputies
today with a thrilling talo of his es
cape from his home. He was forced
to walk part of the way to Rome.
The train on which he was traveling
..-as halted at Falconara by a/.fren
zied mob, shoutiug for revolution.
Residents were terrified because oC
lack of protection.
At thc station of San Quirico, tho
station master and bis clerks were
threatened with death if they attemp
ted to prevent the destruction of tho
station and the flag stand. Womeai
and children lay across the tracks .tq
prevent trains from passing.
How many persons have been killed
or wounded cannot be estimated bub
reports have been received from va-i
rious points indicating - constant!
clashes between revolutionists anti
soldiers. , .
