TWO WAR VESSELS
it; . SMIJM MEXIC1
te ' Washington, April 23.?Two war
J- ships from the Pacific ueet were en
1- route tonight to Mexican waters to
it protect American citizens and hiteril
ests at Mazatlan and Topolobampo.
r. They were dispatched from San Diego
:e today on orders from the navy dei
partment after a request for protects
tion had come from state department
ie~ representatives at those two Mexit,
can Pacific ports.
fc- A similar request came from the
j. government agent at Frontera on the
d Gulf coast but was not acted upon
e pending further investigation of the
t- situation there. The cruiser Sacramento
is at Tampico only a short disn
tance away.
i- The exact situation at Mazatlan and
s- Topolobampo was not known here,
a There had been no report of disturbances
at either place and latest adn
vices said a federal force of 358 men
e and two cannon had arrived at May
zatlan.
t Sonora state forces in rebellion
- Against the Carranza government, are
r known to be pushing on toward Ma
zatlan, the most important Mexican
i gateway on the Pacific. This force is
t' now well south of Topolobampo, but
whether a detachment had been dele
ployed to make an assault there was
3 not clear.
ji At the navy department it was said
that the cruiser Salem and destroyer
!, No. 276, the ships ordered to Mexico,
i, were under instructions to investigate
the situation. There are extensive
- American interests at Mazatlan where
- the Mexico-California Steamship com
pany has its terminal. Word has been
t received at the offices of the company
- that both of the Mexican ports have
- been closed.
r The cruiser Sacramento was at
- Frontera on April 19, and remained a
short time. Some uneasiness was felt
1 there at that time.
i George T. Sumtnerlin, American
i charge d'affaires at Mexico City, who
i h?s uccii consulting with Secretary
i Colby at the state department, left tos
night for Mexico City and it was unj
derstood that his departure has been
- hastened because of the situation in
Mexico. In official circles today it
was reputed that Genmez,
former federal commander at!
manded rebel forces in the Mexico
oil fields,'fiad joined forces against the
6 Carranza government. They were ref*
ported on April 21-22 to be attacking
the federal forces at Tuxpam. It also
c was said in official circles that Colo*
nel Gallegos, commander of the fed1
erai forces at Linares, wuevo Leon,
had rebelled with his entire garrison.
' This town is on the Monterey-Tam"
pico division of the National railroad

STRIKERS PREFER JAIL
I RATHER THAR WORK
Cleveland, Ohio, April 23.?Five
hundred striking railroad switchmen
, at a mass meeting late today agreed
unanimously to go to jail rather than
return to work after officials of the
department of justice requested the
strike leaders to notify the men that
all of the approximately -,500 strikers
would be arrested if they did not
return to work by tomorrow morning.
This was after John Sawken, department
of justice agent, who attended
the meeting, had demanded that the
strike leaders order the men to return
to work or themselves go to jail.
The governmont warning given to
Frank J. O'Rouke, president of the
Cleveland Yardmen's association by
Sawken brought a noisy demonstration
from the men at the meeting.
" I have just been informed by the
department of justice representative
that every man of us will go to jail,
unless we go back to work," O'Rouke
said at the meeting. "Every man who
wishes to avoid arrest by returning
to his job will kindly rise and leave
the room."
Not a man moved.
"Every man who chooses prison
bars to starvation wages will rise,"
O'Rouke said.
The 600 men rose in a body cheering
and scouting.
"We will all go to jail,-' they shouted
as their leaders tried in vain to
quiet them.
The government officials next move
haa not been decided upon early tonight.
District Attorney Wertz, who authorized
the presentation of the ultimatum,
was hoping tonight the men
would return to work without making
it necessary to invoke drastic measures.
Nearly 800 strikers attended tonight's
meeting at which a rising vote
to remain out was taken. Several
strike leaders advised the meeting
saying they did nut call the men out
and had no authority to order them to
return to work. The meeting was orderly
and adjourned without incident.
Several federal agents attended the
meeting.

Buffalo is a wonderful home cit;
