(By United Press.) . WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug, State Department dispatches report that General Carranza will take peaceful possession of Mexico City today. AH the United States battleships will be withdrawn from Vera Cruz within two weeks, " Carranza To Enter The Capital Soon Speculation as to Whether This Will End Revolution. Washington, Aug. 12. The peace ful transfer of the 'Mexico City gov ernment from the Carbajal adminis tration to the constitutionalists act ually i began yesterday, according to official advices to the state depart ment. Federal troops evacuated the capi tal, leaving the city in charge of mu nicipal police, who by agreement were to be regarded as. neutral. The federals withdrew to a nearby point there to . await an - announcement of amnesty,, from General 'Carranza Should guarantees be refused, om (dials here do not doubt that an Im mediate counter-revolution will be set In motion. , , , The Brazilian minister to Mexico, who is caring for American interests, Governor Iturbide, of the Mexico fed eral district, and a commission of two others, left yesterday for Tula, north of Mexico City where General Obregon, commander of one of the three big constitutionalist army, di visions has headquarters. General Carranza is expected to go there im mediately. The commission is en deavoring to arrange details of the constitutionalist entry. No definite word had been received here up to late yesterday as to Provisional Pres ident Carbajal, but was understood he would leave the capital for Vera Cruz within 24 hours. - With the constitutionalist entry in to Mexico City the question of recog nition for the new government will confront Washington. There Is every reason to believe it will be withheld until there is an election, or political convention at which there is some expression of the attitude of the peo ple toward the new government. Dis quieting advices again are - coming from reliable sources that General Villa will not obey Carranza's orders to march south. l Commodities Which We Get From '.V. Europe Cause Rise in Prices In This Country. , New York, Aug. 12. America to day faces an unparalleled advance in foodstuffs and other commodities as the result of the European war.

Imtlesnlp San Francisco, Aug. 11. Flotsam cast up yesterday on the shore south of the Golden Gate and the presence outside of a German cruiser proved that a British warship had cleared in haste for action or that she had been torn by an explosion. There was evidence to support either theory, but the definitely es tablished fact that the British pro tected cruiser Rainbow, now in the service of Canada, did clear for ac tion when she . left here Saturday, seemed to outweigh the belief that there had been an explosion. . Brass door plates stamped "gun ner" and "navigating officer" showed the debris had come from a British warship The badly splintered con dition of the woodwork and the twisted and tangled metal fittings at tached to It, together with the fact that no where could be found any marks of hammer, chisel or crowbar, made those who viewed it believe it had been blown loose by an explo sive. On the other hand word came from the Canadian naval station at Esquimault that the Rainbow was known to have - cleared for action. She might have been stripped of in flammable woodwork. If there was an explosion it could not have been on board the Rainbow, for last night she was sighted off Cape Mendocino, 195 miles north of here. Those who clung to the explo sion theory argued the sloop ot war Shearwater had been in trouble. The only other British vessel on the Pa cific coast is the sloop of war Alge- rine. - - The German cruiser standing off this harbor was identified yesterday by the American bark R. P. Rithet as the Leipzig. The captain of the bark also reported he had passed a mass of wreckage several miles off ttehartojr. the basic materials for Ub dyes. The European markets have been cut off and the price has already Jumped 100 per cent. Men's bats in which these dyes are used have been boosted. Mil lions of yards of shirtings were or dered from Europe, but they cannot be shipped. America muBt depend upon Its own output, which is insuf ficient With the Hamburg and Liverpool ports closed, but little crude rubber will come here.

The snow slide at Wellington, March 11, 1910, when two Great Northern trains were wrecked and 92 persons killed, was caused by an act of God, according to a ruling yesterday of the State Supreme Court in the case of William Topping, of Ashland, O., against the Great Northern Railway Company. The lower court allowed the boy $20,000 damages for the death of his father, ' killed in the wreck, but the Supreme Court says the railroad can not be held responsible. ASKS ARREST FOR BAILEY.

DUKE IS !VJL0tlH Uneasiness Felt for The Tobacco Magnate Appeal to State Department. : Washington, Aug. 12. State and War Department officials are puzzled over the significance of a request" made yesterday by Cameron Morri son and Z. V. Taylor, of Charlotte, that J. B. Duke, former president of the American Tobacco Company, , with headquarters in North Carolina, be gotten out of London as speedily as possible.- Mr. tfuke Is exceedingly anxious that he be landed in New York on the first boat leaving for this country. In view of the fact that Mr. Duke has more than the average supply of American gold dollars, the depart mental officials here are wondering what is behind this hasty retreat of Mr. Duke. Duke knows Ambassador Page personally and there can be no doubt that he is being well taken care ot in London. ' Duke's friends, however, say that the "American farmers" need his aid and assistance here, and hence he Is more than anxious to gaze upon "lit tle old New York" once more. In ad dition to Messrs. Morrison and Tay lor, Attorney Perkins, 'of New York, also requested that Duke be allowed to leave London. Among , the Americans reported safe in London appears the name of . Thomas Bost, a Raleigh newspaper man. 1 FROMTHE FUiiERAl! - i Slept Until Nine O'clock This Mora r Ing He Appears to Bo ;V " Exhausted. ' (By United Press.) - ' , ! Greensborot Aug.' 12.
