BOATS TO BE SUPPLIED
WITH DEISEL ENGINES
The Alaska steamship company is
perfecting plans to install Deiscl en
gines in its vessels running no:th,
and soon the merry put-put of the gas
engine will be heard from the Ala
meda, Northwestern and Alaska, as
they enter port, according to infor
mation received from Seattle.
By the installation of these oil en
gines, which have proven a success
in ocean going vessels, the company
will add tremendously to the cargo*
space, take a larger number of men
from the engine and firerooms, and
consume about DO barrels of fuel oil
on a trip now taking hundreds of bar
rels.
The move will be an innovation in
steamship ciivies, as it will be the
first line to equip all its vessels with
Deisels.

MEXICO CITY, June 15— One of
the* notable results of the latest revo
lution has been the disappearance
from Mexico City papers, which form
erly were strong supporters of the
Carranza administration of the line
“Servicio International” over stories
which could hardly be construed as
favoring the United States.
It long has been common knowledge
that the Foreign Office, under the
Carranza administration, maintained
a vo'v efficient department, managed
by a Mexican journalist, Manuel Car
pio, to keep informed on what was
printed in foreign countries, about
Mexico. Clipping agencies furnished
news stories and special articles,
especially from United States and
Latin American papers, while Mexic
an diplomats and consuls also contrib
uted. Stories unfavorable to Mexico
and administration officials were
especially noted and, if the writer was
in Mexico, he received a free ride to
the border under Article 33 of tin* con
dilution.
Any. clippings supporting the
“Carranza doctrine” from Latin-Am
ericnn papers were distributed, while
the Central American Union idea also
was given liberal publicity. Som<* oi
the stories contained charges of cor
ruption of American statesmen, d plo
mals or government officials by Am
erican oil interests.
One story proportod to give “sensa
tional proof of espionage by the I nit
ed States in Mexico” and another
claimed that an American organiza
tion bad spent millions of dollars to
hurt this country.
Mexico City newspapers have
emerged from the revolution some
what altered. El Monitor Republican,
the Obregon organ, disappeared when
Obregon and its general manager,
Ran jam in Hill, left the city on the
rve of the anti-Carranza movement.
Mexico Neuovo, the Gonzales paper,
was suppressed by General Francisco
Murguia on May 1. when General
Gonzales was reported absent. There
was at first a shift in the general
managership of El Heraldo De Mex
ico, from V. Alesio Robles, reputed
Obregon supporter, to Baltazar Fer
nandez Cue, and the paper became
pro-administration but with the ar
rival of the liberal revolutionary forc
es, Senor Robles resumed the manage
ment of the paper.
El Democrata, which always had
been a strong supporter of the Car
ranza administration, changed man
aging directors after Carranza fled
from the capitol Enrique Beltran tak
ing control.
A couple of smaller sheets, which
owed their lives to the revenue de
rived from attacks on General Obre
gon, ceased publication when the Car
ranza government ceased functioning.
The remaining leaders of the capital
press, Excelsior and El Universal, con
tinued publication without interrupt
ion but with their metropolitan ap
pearance marred by the entire absence
of cable news.
The provisional government pro
poses to aid the newspapers of the
capital by reducing the import duty
cn foreign news print, a duty which
made its importation virtually impos
sible.
