STEAMER BURNS

(By Associated Press)
Halifax, N. s., May 4.? An uniden
tified steamer, on <Bre from stem to
stern with no signe of life on board
was discovered 300 miles south of
Cape Hece today by the steamer Scy
dyltz, from Bremen, for New York.
The Sedtyts immediately called by
wireless for assistance and response
came from the Franconla, fifty miles
try "jrH hnunrl for H.)?tM nnX
the Olympic 200 miles to the west,
beaded for New York. The Sediert!
circled around the burning vessel, but
the smoke hung so heavy about her
that her nai^e could not be distin
guished.
As no small boata were discovered
in the vicinity and as the Oylmipa had
passed not far.from the scene twelve,
or ?fteen hours before, it is thought
tUM the unnamed vossel caught lire
Home time after midnight and that all
hands were rescued by some ship
which had no, wireless.

in vlaw KSi his refusal to agree to an
armistice with General Huerta, they
withdrew their Invitation to him to
send a personal representative to par

General Carranza had asked the
mediator* a* tc? Just what functions

him to name, would have. He deslreu
to know before naming such a dele

tended to dealings between Huerta
and Carransa, which, according to the
.constitutionalist leader's position, are
entirely outside the Bcope of tho

During the day it was announced
that President Wilson planned to go
