Mexican President's Suggestion That
Matter, be Arbitrated Draws Em
phatic Reply From Wilson Strong
for Delay. Jr i
Washington, D. C. April 15 It
was iearned ' tonight that Gen.
Huerta, .when apprised by . Charge
O'Shaugnessy of the proposed dem
onstration of the Atlantic fleet ar
gued that the episode growing out of
thMirrest of American blue jackets
at Tampico was a fit subject for ar
bitration at The Hague and that he
would appoint a commissioiv,, to in
vestigate the incipient. -v k '
President Wilson in an emphatic
rep'y through Charge O'Shaugnessy
s understood to have told Gen, Huer
ta that the time for delay and eva
sion bad passed and that the Ameri
can government would temporize no
longer. Administration officials hold
that insults to the flag nnd questions'
of National honor are not subjects
of arbitration.
The position of the administration
as the President explained it to mem
bers of the senate and house com
mittees on foreign affairs, "and as
it was substantially reviewed in the
notes sent to all foreign governments,
Is described in a statement given out
during the day, which was prepared
by high administration officials. The
statement follows:
. "Discussions in official circles in
Washington of tho present Mexican
situation the following points have
been vtry much dwelt upon: , ,
"It has been pointed out that in
considering the present somewhat
delicate situation in Mexico, the un
pleasant incident at Tampico must
not lie thought of alone
"Immediately after the incident at
Tampiea, an orderly from one of the
shipH'of the United States in the bar
bor at Vera Cruz, who had been sent
ashore to the postoffiee fpr the ship's
mail nrd who was in ui-iform and
who had the official mail bag on his
back, whs arrested "4 put into jail
by the local authorities.
' "Most serious of all, the officials in
charge of the- telegraph office at
Mexico City presumed to withhold
an official dispatch of the government
of the United States to its embassy
at Mexico City until it should have
been sent to the censor and his per
mission received to deliver 'it.
i "Th(se repeated offenses against
the rights and dignity of tho United
States, offenses, not duplicated with
regard to the representatives of other
governments have necessarily made
the impression thajfc the government
of the United States was sigled out
for manifestations of ill will and
contempt." .
SHIP LINE FOR SALE
Lowest Price Set For Fleet of 62
Vessels And Plant $45,000,000.
London. April lo. Surely never
before has an offer of such magni
tude been known as the offer for sale
by tender of the fleet, plant nnd ef
fects of the Brazilion Lloyd. ;
. The company has gone through
many vicissitudes. . Although chiefly
concerned with the costal trade of
Brazil and services on the Amazon
and ita tributaries, the Brazilian
Lfoyd endeavored to maintain . sail
ings to New York, but these .were
Eoon abandoned. , The company ;was
then taken over by a combination of
banks, which tried to reorganise its
finances, bnt ultimately f,he govern
ment had to step in. . r '
; Several attempts have been wade"
to induce British shipowners to buy
an interest, in the enterprise, and it
is now for sale, to the highest bidder,
although the saccessful .tender taust
pot be less than, $45,000,000, paabe
in cash.- '' Altogether there,, are' J2
vessels, m addition to tugs, lighters,
machint ry, docks and workshops.. ,'
. Itj is, however, provided that the
fleet must remain underthe Brazilian
lag .and that the mails must be caji
ried free, but. in return. pt$rchasers
will ..be given, a preference, for the
transport intheir , own . steamships

the Southern depot in this city there
wa au unusual occurrence in which .
one corpse was mistaken for another
and required the opening of the cas- .
ket to solve1 the mystery. When the',
noon tram arrived' about 100 negroes
bad congregated at the depot to re
ceive the remains of Joe Banner, a ,
former negro' resident of this place
who had died elsewhere. A casket '
was placed upon the platform, but
the sertiflcate bore the name of Net-
tie Gwyn, and it was supposed that
there was an error, as to the name, ,
as no such corpse was expected.
The railroad and negroes were puz
zled alike nnd it was decided to open '
the casket which revealed the re- ;
mains of a beautiful young lady in- , .
stead of the expected negro. . Upon
investigation, it was found that Miss
Gwyn's parents lived in the-moua
