OUR COMMISSIONERS
DISAGREE WITH WILSON
International News Service.
NEW LONDON, Sept. 25. It is be
lieved her that an open rupture be
tween the United States commission
ers now in session here with the Mex
ican commissioners and i'resident Wil
son is soon to take place.
It appears to be certain that Presi
dent Wilson hiis ordered American
Commissioners Franklin K. Lane,
Judge George Gray and I)r. J. It. Mott,
to agree to the demands of the Mex
icans that the American troops be j
withdrawn from Mexico as a prelim- ,
inary to further negotiations.
The American commissioners, how- •
ever, do not agree with the president's
Judgment and are reported as having
communicated their views at length to
the state department. They are agreed
that the condition of lawlessness now
prevailing >n Chihuahua and elsewhere
in Mexico do not warrant confidence
ir. Carranza's ability to bring about
and maintain order.
WASHINGTON, Sept. J5. Agents of
the state department have reported
that Carranza's leaders seem to be
making little or no effort to suppress
banditry. Their attitude is one of hos
tility toward and defiance of Ameri
cans.
The size of the Villa army remains
probtiiinatlcul as it lias withdrawn
where information can with difficulty
lie obtained. From what can be learn
ed it is believed that his force has been
considerably augmented during the
past three weeks. llalidit raids be
lieved to be by Villistas are of con
stant occurrence in Mexico but no at
tempts are now made to cross the
A merican border.

SALVES CARGO
_
The Gladiutor, Captain Sweeney got
hack today from a twenty day trip to
St. Matthews island whither she went
on a salving trip in connection with
the Great Bear. Captain Sweeney re
ceived permission from the govern
ment to land at St. Matthews which
is a reserve. He also had made ar
rangements with Mr. Borden, owner of
the Great Bear to salvo the wreck on
shares. The Gladiator had great dif
ficulty in laying alongside the wreck
on account of the high seas which pre
vailed from day to day. Often a
start would be made only to have to
pull back to the mainland. In spite of
the weather, however, a full cargo was
obtained including a 25 horse power N.
&S. engine, a 12 horse power engine,
the port lights, steering gear, sails,
fifty Hudson bay blankets, rifles and
ammunition. The Great Bear lies
fast to a pinnacle of rock, her bow
up and her stern in the water| Most of
the salving was done by a diver en
cased in a diving suit. The trip down
took four days. Capt. Sweeney says
that the schooner Viking from Sand
Point is at the island with five white
men aboard. They have got, it is
stated, some of the flour from tho
Great Bear, tl is not known that they
have permission to be there.

MUST FINISH U. S.
WARSHIPS FIRST OF ALL
international News Service.
WASHINGTON, Sepl. 25.—A number
of ship builders now constructing war
ships for the United States navy have
asked for an extension of the time
limit within which the ships now in
their yards must be turned over to
the government. They give as a rea
son for their request that the great
number of merchant ships now being
built by them is taxing their resources
of men and machinery to the utmost
limit. They further urge the great
necessity now existing for the com
merce carriers, most of whom are for
foreign flags and declare that the best
interests of the nation will lie served
by a completion of the freighters
which will carry our products to the
markets of the world.
The navy department has denied
their application peremptorily. This
action by the navy head is suppose d
to lie a result of the general criticism
of the department because of the de
lay in building warships which have
been authorized over two years, and
because of the demand for prepared
ness.
