Norfolk, Va., Dec. 8. Mystery sur
rounding the reported rescue of 137
passengers from the Mallory liner Rio
Grande during a fire at sea north of
the Diamond shoals early yesterday
remained unsolved today and though
the wireless of the South Atlantic
coast was reaching out for information
none was obtained to clear up several
conflicting reports.
Although a wireless from Virginia
Beach to New York late last night re
ported Captain Dodge of the British
steamer Swanmore having made the
rescue, the Swanmore is at her wharf
at Baltimore. The captain of the
Merchants & Miners' liner Suwanee
which was in the vicinity was spoken
late last night by the Charleston, S.
C, wireless and knew nothing of the
affair.
Agents of the Mallory line say the
Rio Grande was not licensed to carry
passengers and therefore the passen

that ship. The Rio Grande today was

The rebel leader said that if mer

he would confiscate their property.
Train loads of provisions are t be

Unless the federal troops who de
serted Chihuahua unexpectedly turn
up and resort to guerrilla warfare the
northern part of Mexico will assume a
semblance of peace through the open
ing of the railroads.
Villa has been on the alert for a
possible attack by federals and his
patrol o! the 225 miles from Juarez
to Chihuahua has been in the nature
of precaution.
It was reported that Luis Terrazas,
