CARRANZA GOVERNMENT IS
SUWLY CRUMBLING AWAY
I -' ; ' .
Officials in Washington Admit The Fact.
Latest Note of The United States
Also Hints At It.
(By United Press)
Washington. June tl. ? The Car
rui? government Is n earing the
completion of Its circle In history. A
high administration official made this
statement today. The machinery !?
slowly crumbling and only un
expected*- "right-about face" in Car
ransa's methods can prevent the gov
ernment^ . complete disintegration
even long enough for it to be re
placed jjy government sufficiently
strong to prevent anarchy.
Home officials have propheelsed
this for months. Others have insist
ed that JLhe condition was exaggerst
ed. But today no official could be
found who would not Admit, private
ly at least, that "watchful waiting"
had rum its course. ' They insisted,
howeveft that the policy was entire
ly Justified as long as there was the
slightest /jihance of Mexico solvlqg
its own problems. The last note of
the Untied States to Mexico Is given
as further evidence that Laming and
Wilson are convinced that the Car
ransa government la about through.

All Saved.
CLUNG TO BEACON FOR ENTIRE NIGHT:
WEI TAKEN OFF BY GAS BOAT, HOT
After being forced to cling all
night long to the supports of a bea
con light In Rose Day, and suffer
ing considerably from exposure, five
survivors o& the mall boat. Annie
May, ruunlng between Be'.haven and
Swan Quarter, and which was burn
ed to the water edge late Monday
night, were picked up yesterday
morning at 9 o'clock by the gas boat
Mot and were brought to this city.
The Annie May la owned and op
erated by Captain O'Neal for the
purpose of carrying the mall between
Bel haven and Swan Quarter. After
leaving Belhaven for Swan Quarter
the bunts' engine gave considerable
trouble and Captain O'Neal went
dowu into the engine room to assist
in locating the trouble. He and the
engineer had been working on It for
some time when it began to grow
dark. An oil lamp was brought
down and held JuBt over Captain O'
Neal's head. No one seems to know
just exact!y how It happened, but
there came a sudden blinding tta*h
and In an instant the entire boat
was enveloped in flames.
?Everyone Jumped to assist in ex
tinguishing the fire, but it gained
headway so rapidly that it was soon
seen that if the lives of those on
! board were to be saved, they would
have to leave the craftr. Life pre
servers were quickly passed around
and Captain O'Neal ordered all to
I leave the boat at once. Those on
board barely had time to Jump over
boa: J and swlift a short distance
away when the gasoline tanks caught
fire. The water was Illuminated for
miles around.
The entire party managed to reach
Deep Bay beacon, about a ml'e from
where the disaster occurred. They
clambered upon the wooden supports
and remained there all night until
Captain (Jrlflin of the Mot came to
their rescue early yesterday morn
ing. The survivors were suffering
greatly from exposure, but were
made as comfortable as possible on,
board the Mot and it is not believed
that they witl suffer any ill-effects.
Those on board were Cp.ptaiu O'
Neal, Er.glnecr Walter Ua'.l, Jr.
