Of Uncle Sam surances from the constitutionalists. Back of the efforts for an under standing with General Carranza, the Mexican rebel leader, is said to be a hope on the part of Washington of ficials that the 'constitutionalists will establish a government on terms of the closest friendship with the United States. Just what has been given Mr. Hale by President Wilson or Secretary Bryan to lay before the constitution alists is not disclosed here but the impression prevails that the United ! States wished not only definite as-!' surances of their purposes but some promise that they would conduct at an early date a fair and free election. Lifting .he embargo on arms is one of the prominent possibilities if the constitutionalists and the American government can arrive at a satisfac tory understanding. .There is a hope on the part of many officials that the mere opening of negotiations with the constitutionalists &nd .exteasioa moral" support to "their cause may in fluence not only Huerta's retirement but the choice of a provisional presi dent who would be accpetable to the constitutionalists. No officials would comment on the developments early today but upon Huerta's answer to the late commun ication depends the next step on the part of the United States. Before actually throwing any support to the constitutionalists it is believed here that President Wilson may make a statement reciting the futile efforts of this government to deal with Huerta. Tokio, Nov. 13. The Japanese for eign minister, Baron Nobukai Makino, today conferred with Premier Count Gombei Yamamoto on the Mexican situation. The Japanese diet has been conviked for DWecember 24. The despatch of the cruiser Izumo to Mexican waters has attracted much attention and is regarded as signaliz ing the beginning, of Japanese partic ipation in the political problems of the west. The Izumo sails about November 20 for Manzanillo or Salina Cruz by way of Honolulu. Will Huerta Accede to Demands? Mexico City, Nov. 13. Provisional President Huerta this morning gave no indication that lie intended to accede- to. the American demand that he prevent the newly-elected Mexican congress from convening. Lind Presented Request. When John Lind, President Wilson's special Mexican envo', early yester day send a notification to Huerta that the United States government would have no further parley with the Mex ican government unless the provisional president replied to the American de mands by 6 o'clock last evening he also indicated tht the Mexican govern ment must inform the members of the diplomatic corps of its action in re spect to the congress by midnight. Goes to Vera Cruz. i Mr. Lind left Mexico City last night j and is now in Vera Cruz. Nelso i; O'Shaughnessy, charge de'affaires of the United States legation, awaits in trusions from Washington. It is gen erally believed that Washington whl instruct Mr. O'Shaughnessy to close the embassy or to turn it over to the legation of some friendly power. Huerta Was Absent. It was decluared that Adolf de Lh Lama. Mexican minister of finance, himself had engaged in the sea -en for Huerta and up to a late hour naa not succeeded in finding either at tna national palace, at his family home or at any of the places where ne wa- accustomed to go. ... Provisional President uuena. showed no signs of weakening this morning and the American embassy was in a state of suspense, not know ing what to expect next. An early caller on Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American charge d'affaires, was the German minister to Mexico, Admiral Paul von Hmtze, who arrivbed before Mr. OShaugh nessy bad breakfasted. It developed today that m tne course of the preliminary exchanges of view3 between John Lind, the per sonal representative of President Wil son and the Mexican officials on the question of the dissolution of the new Mexican congress, General Huer tvo nla that he coila Irt mj t an- w.- Enhassy EVENTS not dissolve it because it had been legally elected. Air. Lind reply to this was the presentation of the demands made by the United States government accom panied by the declaration that what General Huerta had been able to do with the former congress he must do with this one of . his own crea tion. ... . . . . Japan and United States work in Accord. Tokio, Nov. 13. In connection with the decision of the Japanese govern ment to eend the armored cruiser Izumo to Mexican waters it is learned that Baron Makino, the minister ot foreign affairs, invited George W. Guthrie, the American ambassador, to a conference at vhieh the Mexican situation was discussed. This information further strength ens the indication that Japan and the United States are working in ac cord. It was explained yesterday that the disptach of the Izumo to Mexico was merely to assure protection to Japanese subjects of whom there are about 3,000 scattered through Mex ico. Germans Warned to Leave. Berlin, Nov. 13. The German lega tion in Mexico City today again ur gently advised the Germans resid ing in Horreon and Durango to leave those cities on acount of the expect ed hostilities there. The Mexican dip lomatic representative has made fi nancial and other arrangements for thep urpose of assisting them to de part. All the warnings given earlier to the German residents, it is point ed out, proved fruitless, as only four Germans left Torreon. The German government today con sidered the expediency of advising all German subjects resident in the in terior of Mexico to remove to the coast towns for greater safety. It is thought probable that this measure will be adopted shortly. Carranza Opposed to Mediation. Nogales, Mexico, Nov. 13. General Carranza, head of the Mexican consti tutionalists, said today he would not accept mediation in any form by the United States or any other foreign government. He reiterated previous statements that the constitutionalists desired only the right to import arms and ammunition from the United States. . .. Summary of Situation, -,Washingtonv--Nov; -:-13. The -statu, of the Mexican situation today may be summed up substantially as fol lows: The .demands which the American government made yesterday on the provisional authorities at Mexico City had not up to that time brought any response from Huerta or those repre senting him. The American charge, Mr. O'Shaughnessy, had not been in structed to call for his passports, nor have any steps been taken thus far toward the withdrawal of his diplo matic functions. Any further steps in that regard are still to be determin ed. The latest American demands call upon Huerta for action which will prevent the meeting of the congress voted upon at the election held on October 26 and no rejoinder has been made to that demand. The unofficial ' negotiations which William Bayard Hale, is carrying forward with General Carranza at Nogales, Mexico, have to do princi pally with the question of raising the embargo on arms, although it is expected to develop much other In formation concerning the constitution alists. Reports that a Pacific blockade may be applied to thep orts of Mex fco are conjectural and no serious consideration is- at present being given to that move, although it is among other ultimate possibilities oi redress. While South and Central American countries are being consulted and ad-1 vised concerning the Mexican proh-) Iem, there is no concerted move to-1 ward securing united Pan-American-action. i President Wilson prepared a state ment setting forth the attitude ot the United States but it was not 1 made public as originally planned but , withheld "for the present." ; Big Steamer John A. McGean Has Perished By Associated Press. Cleveland, O., Nov. 13. The loss of the steamer John A. McGean, operat ed by the Hutchison Steamship Com pany here, was confirmed by officials of the company today. The ship sank in Lake Huron It is believed that Captain C. R.

Special to The News. Washington, D. C, Nov. 13. At a conference with Senators Simmons and Overman today, Mr. McReynolds prom ised to discharge Hoi ton, Dockery, Lo gan and Seawall any time the sena tors requested it and appoint Hammer, Webb, riovtcii nd Winston.

WOULD EXILE KING ALCOHOL FROM U. S. By Associated Press. Columbus, O., Nov. 13. Praise for the attitude of President Wilson, Secretary of State Bryan and former President Theodore- Roosevelt on the question of alcoholic drinks was given here today by Donald U. Mc Mullen, of Tampa, Fla., national rep resentative-elect in addressing the annual convention of the Anti-Saloon League. "The most staggering blow ever given the liquor interests of this country" was his characterization ot the Webb-Kenyon law prohibiting the shipment of liquor into prohibition states. He declared congress showed its independence cf the reputed liquor lobby by this act. ' Judge Charles A. Pollock, of Fargo, N. D., outlined the result which he said had been achievew under pro hibition in North Dakota and de clared in favor of nation prohibition. The resolution committee of the league today endorsed the candidacy of Richmond Pearson Hobson, or Alabama, for United States senator from that state over Oscar W. Under wood, majority leader in congress. Mr. McMullen, of Tampa, Fla., who introduced the resolution, declared that he, knew "Underwood's connec tion with the liquor interests made him an impossible candidate" from the Anti-Saloon League's point or view. Former Governor J. Frank Hanly, of Indiana, made a speech before the convention endorsing the candidacy of Hobson. Mr. Hobson in a short address said he would be a candidate for the sen ate and pledged himself to tight for the federal amendment prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxi cants. Columbus, O., Nov. 13 Speaking before the national convention of the Anti-Saloon League here today Daniel C. McMullen of Tampa, Fla., said in part: . "We are going to write here a sec ond, declaration ot ; independence.. And in the language otjhat immortal doc ument of 1776 we shall charge as a basis for pur course that King Alco hol, whom 5 we are renouncing, "has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts and destroyed the lives of our people, and appealing to the supreme judge of tne world for the rectitude of our intentions do in the name, and by the authority of the good people of this nation, solemnly publish and de clare that ' these United States are and of right ought to be free and in dependent. "From the exalted position of a man twice president of the United States comes resentment in thunder ing tones at the accusation of being an excessive user of intoxicating drinks and the people of this country re joiced whei. Theodore Roosevelt prov ed beyond doubt that the orewer and distiller had no part in the making, of his marvelous manhood. And the cause has been strengthened by the fact that we now have a president who with that good old fashioned Pres byterian sense of fiedelity to duty, has banished the wine cup from the white house and God grant that it is banish ed forever. "And no less are we encouraged and inspired by having a man a real man as secretary of state. Since I was a boy I have admired the courage and purity of purpose of William J. Bryan, but in no position during his eventful life has he measured up to a higher standard of individual man hood and statesmanship than when he discarded alcoholic beverages from diplomatic banquets; "But more significant than the at titude of a former president, a presi dent or secretary of state is the magnificent vote by which congress declared its independence of the liquor lobby and passed the Webb-Kenyon bill. That was the most staggering blow ever given the liquor interests of this country. "We have tried to regulate these business but it is as hopeless as the evangelization of the devil. "Prohibition by county loan option has 'served to arouse the people and check the progress of a business that means to ruin this nation if it can, but local option is only border warfare as compared with the great struggle just ahead. ; "The fight for state-wide prohibition is bound to give way sooner or later to the alignment for the broader con test of nation-wide prohibition." mington together by an up-to-date wa ter route. ; "The Baltimore dt.te should be 25 per cent less than the - rate to New York by water, the only existing wa ter rate into Wilmington to which com parison can be made at this time. "With the large production of ores, iron, grain, cotton and manufactured products from this section, Charlotte should be able to derive an immense advantage from this new boat line. "Tonight our committee will explain all of the plans and the entire proposi tion to the meting of Charlotte men and also will . answer any questions that any of the business men desire to get further information upon." The committee .from Wilmington will return early Friday morning pro vided their mission here can be com pleted tonight.

Mc Guire, the Syracuse bonding agent, was still in such a nervous state to day as a result of his ordeal on the witness stand on Tuesday that he was unable to resume his testimony this afternoon at the inquiry into charges that Tammany Hall politi cians exacted contributions from con tractors doing state work. It was thought possible this after noon that the investigation might be abruptly halted and the whole mat John K. Clark, an assistant district attorney, returned today from Oswego and reported to his office that through former Judge Charles N. Bulger of that place he had obtain ed sufficient evidence to warrant in dictment for extortion of one alleged Tammany "big man."

Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 13. Twen ty persons were killed outright and 250 injured at an early hour today when Central of Georgia passenger train No. 18 fell through a trestle "our miles east of Clayton, Ala. The train carrying a capacity load of people bound to the county fair at Eufaula was behind time and moving rapidly. The engine and two coaches passed over the trestle in safety but the remaining cars went through- the elevated frame work and were wreck ed. Relief trains have been dispatched to the- scene from all directions. Ac cording to information that had reach ed here at one o'clock five hours af ter the wreck four bodies had been recovered and identified. Details were very meagre. One of the seriously Injured persons is Jeff Clayton, brother of Congress man Henry D. Clayton. He was caught between two heavy timbers and the flesh lacerated so that the bones were laid bare.

Mich., Nov. 13. K ports of more missing vessels cams in this afternoon but great fog banK had settled down . over Lake Huron and the secret of the number ami identity of lost ships and men in iu recent storm on Lake Hurom was lar from being revealed. The latest dis aster reported was that the steamer John A. McGean, of the Hutchison Steamship Company, of Cleveland, had, sunk. The report came in this forenoon. Including the McGean, six ships may be on the bottom of Lake Huron and a hundred or more sailors are almost certain to have been drowned. Up to this forenoon 27 bodies and wreckage of all descriptions had been tossed up on the Canadian shore from Point Edward, opposite here, north of Goderich. Life belts, Iir boats, and water soaked cargo bore evidence to indicate 1 that the steam ers Regina, Charles S. Price, Wex ford and James Carruthers were prob ably at the bottom of the lake. Bodies of two men who sailed on the McGean are said td 'have been picked up -today below Sarnia in the St. Ciair river. The steamer passed up here at 2:10 Sunday- morning and nothing . had been heard from tier since then until the reports came iu this forenoon. One of the McGean bodies is said to have been identified as that vt John Cody. Although marine men in this lo cality . were : still firm in their ireliet this forenoon that the overturned steamer near here was the Regina, the latter' owners were insistent to the contrary! They claimed then boat had a marked bow ah the result of a collision. Tho bow of the par tially submerged vessel was said to be smooth and undamaged. It was certain, however, that th bottoms of the two steamers wen much alike and those who believed that the mysterious wreck was that of the Regina would not change their opinion until a diver had gone down and read the name. Identification of but four of the bodies washed ashore had been made up to this morning. Reports were cur. rent to the effect that ghouls had been busy and that the frozen bodies had been robbed of all that then clothas contained which might lead to identification. Provincial detectives were today, investigating those re ports. The list of recovered dead this forenoon was as follows: Three rrom the steamer Regiua; one unknown; seven frcrn steamer Price; two from steamer McGean; seven from the steamer Carruthers; nine from steamer Wexford. This is a. total of 29. All of these bodie.5 are now distributed in, shoru towns on the Canadian shore. to the general superintendent of the Central Railway received here thif afternoon reported that eight peopU had been killed in the train wreckeo on the Eufaula and Ozark branch of the Central Railway in a wreck 17 1-2 miles from Eufaula caused by a broken rail.
