Nearly Starve.
PORTLAND, June 18.—The two
aeronauts in the big balloon Spring
field, and for whom forest rangers
and hundreds of ranchers have been
hunting the Cascades for the past
week fearing that they were lying
injured in the dense forest, today

city.
Captain Donaldson and Wilbur
Henderson, wvho were in the balloOn
were for 120 hours without food. The
balloon struck high up on the Cas
cades and the two men left it, fol
lowing down Bull Run river. Their
food was soon gone and for 120 hours
they forced their way through the
brush and along the creek bank, hop-,
ing to locate some prospector or for
est ranger. ,
The two men also suffered from
cold because they had no matches
with which to make a fire. The big
balloon was damaged to such an ex
tent that it is doubtful if it will be
saved.

REBELS DENY BREAK AMONG GENERALS;
FEDERAL GUNBOAT SINKS REBEL SHIP
%
EL PASO, June. 18—The friends
of Gen. Villa declare that' the two'
rebel generals have not fallen out
and assert that the constitutional
ists are all fighting together. Amer
ifcan aritty officers here and the spe
cial agent of the American govern
ment, however, were informed today
that all officers of the rebel army
who were friendly to Gen. Carranza
have been arrested and sent to Tor
reon, where Gen. Villa has establish
ed his headquarters.
All the positions seized by the Vil
la followers from Carranza men have
been retained and it is believed that
all rebel officers who do not imme
diately take the oath of allegiance
to Gen. Villa will be executed. It
is believed that the thirty Carranza
officials sent south this morning will
never reach their destination.
Mexicans familiar with the situa
tion predict that Villa, while at pres
ent in the best position, will slowly

stantly menace his line of commun
ication and the Huerta or federal
troops.
The Carranza followers from the
state of Sonora will work eastward,
cutting off the railroad and driving
the rebels towards the federal lines.
WASHINGTON, June 18.—The dip
lomatic representatives stationed
here are anxiously waiting for the
next move by the American govern
ment in the Mexican situation. The
English government has entered a
protest against the landing of arms
and ammunition by American .ships at
Tampico for Villa, whom they class
as a bandit and unfit to be allowed
to govern Mexico.
The A. B. C. mediators have also
protested against In any way recog
nizing Villa, while the agents of the
two rebel factions are endeavoring
to have Secretary of State Bryan aid
them and recognize their* actions as
legal. At no time has the Mexican
situation looked so bad. The admin
istration’s plan of placing the con
stitutionalists in power has been
dropped at least for the present and
it is predicted that the resignation
of Provisional President Huerta will
not be forthcoming.
MAZATLAN, June 18.—The consti
tutionalist gunboat Tampico was sunk
today by the federal warship Guerre- j
ro, which overhauled the rebel ship
while the latter was headed for Top
olobathbo .which is in the hands of
the rebels. The officers of the rebel
ship appealed in vain to the American
destroyers, Perry and Prebls, which
appeared Just before the battle be
gan.
Tife rebels asked the American
ships to prevent the Huerta gunboat
from firing upon them, but the Amer
ican officers refused to aid the rebels
until the federal gunboat had sunk
the rebel ship, after which they res
cued all the members of the crew
still alive and the wounded Mexi
cans are on the American ships for
medical care. The Tampico was in
no condition to fight, the heavier
guns of the Guerrero soon ending the
scrap. Ten rebels were killed and
ten wounded. The balance of the
crew escaped to the American ship.
The federal ship returned to Maz
atlan and was given a rousing wel
come by the Mexicans of that city.

EUGENIC LAW.
DECLARED LEGAL
Supreme Court of Wisconsin Upholds
the Act—Provides Heavy Bur
dens On Physicians.
—
MADISON, Wis., June 18.—The
state supreme court today rendered
a decision in the eugenic law which
had been tested by individuals who
objected to its provisions.
In spite of the heavy expense nec
essary to make the certain tests pre
scribed by law and the refusal of
physicians of the state to do the work
required at the price prescribed by
law, the court held that the law was
legal in every particular.
The clergymen of the state have
made a protest against the law, as
people of the state are going to oth
er states to be married and they
claim that if the state wishes to com
'pel an examination of both parties
under the rules prescribed by the law,
then the burden should be borne by
the state and not the individual. The
clergymen have lost a large revenue
since the enactment of the law.
The physicians claim they cannot
be compelled to do work for nothing
and will continue to oppose the en
forcement ot the act.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 18.—Peter
Griihm, convicted before the Ameri
can court at Shanghai, China, for
forgery, and who abducted Alfred
Johnson, a Norwegian sailor at Naga
saki, substituting the Norwegian for
himself, and in consequence the in
nocent man served three years im
posed on Grimm, was today sent to
San Quentin to serve the sentence
originally imposed on him.
Johnson, who could not speak En
glish, was unable to explain his pre
dicament to the officers on the boat
and as no one knew him at the pris
on he was for three years unable to
secure a hearing, but when finally
released he appealed to the Norwe
gian consul and the authorities were
forced to make an investigation, re
sulting in the arrest of Grimm, who
is now to serve the sentence of three
years.
A claim for damages has been pre
sented to the American State De
