BELIEF BOAT IN FORT
The power schooner Bender Bros.,
entered today at the loeal customs
1 ouse on her way to the westward.
The Bender Bros, is loaded with sup
plies for the native* of the Priblof
Islands, who are reported to he in a
destitute condition. For some reas
n the run of fish on which they de
pend for their winter’s food failed
to materialize last fall and the re
sult is a lack of grub. This condi
non was reported by wireless from
b e islands, and the government are
- -nding the Bender Bros., up with
the supplies. She will probably have
liffieaity in reaching the Islands
owing to the pack ice which is us
.’.!y surrounding them at this sea
- >a. If this condition exists the ves
sel will remain at Unimak Pass un
til it is possible for her to land her
cargo.
THE MEXICAN SITUATION
President Wilson is confronted lo
ir, v with one of the most serious and
perplexing developments tha thas ever
. risen in the Mexican situation. Mex
i . City is on the verge of starvation.
General Obregon. the Carranza com
mander, refuses to permit an inter
national relief committee, composed
f wealthy members of the foreign
'.■•nr. to succor the needy.
•Mexico needs no foreign aid,”
the general is reported to have said.
All merchants who closed their
res have been ordered to reopen
.ader threat of punishment. Three
hundred of them, all Mexicans- have
been imprisoned. The people of the
itv are living in terror of another
evacuation, since Obregon has an
te-uneed that he will not prevent
. ting or pillaging for food or money.
Tae situation is described as more
intolerable than it has ever teen
-t revolu:: aary troubles began in
:) e s ethern republic. Talk of an
allied ex; edit i n similiar to that
. went to the relief of foreign
!’ vC: as at Pekin during the P.oxer
s: rising was again heard in official
c alters, where it was generally ad
mitted that a grave condition of af
f irs had arisen.
Just why the three hundred mer
chants were imprisoned has not been
; revealed. They were reported to have
lavt-ealed to Obregon for relief from a
jbeavv tax which he imposed on them.
Secretary Bryan sail that so far as
the state department had been ad
vise all the Mexican priests arrested
- r failure to contribute funds demand
• I bv Obregon were still in prison.
The international relief committee,
which raised about 250,000 pesos, was
n - permitted to aid the poor, accord
ing to official dispatches, because
; Gen. Obregon declined to accept fund*
■restricted to any definite use. He de
sired that the foreigners pay the
- x recently levied but revolked on
-■. res-vntations from foreign govern
- ent without questioning how It
; would be used,
The latest decree pnt into effect by
1 f regon provides that all merchants
a r.iy m st open their places of
S I/-.sinews, under threat of punishment
i • that any person refusing to accept
1 rranza fiat money will be impris
i one<L
The difficulties of the situation
fr the view point of the adminis
tration officials are numerous. Gen.
Vil a ae-i Lis forc'-s and the Zapata
faction, according to official report*
• ‘m to be rapidly gaining ground
in the military campaign, but their
j an* have for their object at present
the semination of other parts of Mex
i particularly Tampico an 1 the
• orthern part of of the eountr.

it is believed in some quarters, may

London. March 10—Advices by way
of Malta and Gibralter are to the
effect that 30 big gunned vessel*
are now taking part in the bombard
ment of the forts guarding the Dar
danelles. The firing continues with
out cesation the full twenty-four
hours in every day, the ships working
in shifts, thus enabling the crew's to
rest and sleep. The fire from the
forts on the European side of the
Straits is weakening rapidly, and
the ships are now concentrating tin
greater part of their energy on tin
Asiatic forts. The best friendship
exists between the different ship*
and nationalities, the crews congralii

made.
