J. BENDER) Washington, Nov. 20. The Administration will stand but little more "manana" delay from the Mexican side at the Atlantic City peace conference. Its patience is at the breaking point. A few days may bring about norten- tious developments. The Mexicans will be told emphati - callv that the United States csrnnnt sit .in tbP nPa i0. sions if dilatory, obstructive tactics are pursued. The bor der patrol is but la part of the Administration plans. Pri marily, the protection of American rights and property m Mexico is the big problem. If these are unobtained the border patrol will be uneffected and new steps will lie taken. The United Press today learned authoritatively that what the alternative course will be in the event of failure at Atlantic City, no one can say. Secretaries Lan sing and Baker alone know. It is intimated, however, that a shift of policy will result in a stricter accounting from Mexico. WINTER CRUISE WAS HALTED BY STORM; AN UNPLEASANT TIME Stormbound for five days in one of tho worst Spots'bn; the whole Atlantic coast, Mr. Dempsey Wood returned late in the past week from a cruise through Pamlico ' sound, which was not a very pleasant one. Mr. Wood and others of a email' party left tp make a visit" to each of the East Ca rolina sounds on a small yacht. They were off Ocracoke, in Pamlico sound, last Monday when a heavy gale struck their little ship. There was no chance of making the passage through the sound in the weather, and the yacht was anchored right at the entrance to Portsmouth inlet, a short, shallow and very narrow passage, very seldom used as a ship channel because of its treacherousness. The anchor held; had it not, with the wind from the quarter it was most of the time, the little vessel would have Iwen Wown to sea or stranded, with a still less chance of weathering the tempest, in the inlet. Thursday th gale, abated, but the seas continued bo high and 'the current so strong that it was not until Friday that the crew could take up anchor and leave the place. There was no suffering on oard. The yacht was quite com fortable and well provisioned, bu frequently there were tense moments when' "most anything could have happened." The anchor was the means of salvation, all right. " NEW HANOVER GETS GOOD; JAIL EMPTY Wilmington, Nov, 19.

Adjoining the engine house on one side is what tho police call the "cala boose," which is about as ibad a place to put a person in as could be discovered. The calaboose Is not steamhiated, and the cell-doors are full of cracks through which the wintry winds blow at will. In the cell with "NuiV were four other ne groes.
