Lloyd line entered the docks here this
morning, divers immediately began ex
amination of her hull to ascertain what
damage she sustained below the water
line in her collision yesterday with tho
British steamer Incemore. Damage to
her upper works apparently was only

Arrangements were made to transfer
the passengers to the ImPerator, which
is to leave Southampton for New York

The captain, of the Incemore declined
to make any statement as to the col

Kaiser Wilhelm II was badly drenched
with water and the passengers were
compelled to take their breakfast today
in a saloon on the upper deck.
A. G. Karnes, of Shico, Calif., a pas
senger on the Kaiser, said:
"I was in my cabin when I heard a
sound like the report of a cannon. My
stward entered immediately afterward
and said they were closing the water -
tight compartments and that If I didn’t
hurry I should be shut tn.
"When I reached the deck I found
the first and second class passengers
behaving very cooly, but there was
great excitement among the steerage
passengers. The women were shriek

about aimlessly waiving their hands.

Cause In Jeopardy.
El Paso, Texas. —The success or
failure of the constitutionalists
cause depends upon a complete set
tlement oT the differences between
General Carranza, political head of
the Mexican revolutionists and Gen
eral Villa, his chief military leader,
in the opinion of prominent members
of both factions here who today anx
iously awaited developments follow
ing the dispatch last night of a Joint
appeal for harmony to both leaders.
With the belief general here in
constitutionalist circles that the fed
erals at Zacatecas have been rein
forced recently and that they are de
termined to defend the city to the
last the hope of speedy capture of
this important point is far from
sight.
Only Immediate action on the part
of the combined available constitu
tionalist forces will accomplish this,
in the < timutton of revolutionary
leaders.
The rumor that the cargo of the
steamship Antllla, which was landed
for the constitutionalists at Tamplca.
a fortnight ago, had fallen Into the
bands of Villa’s lieutenants, has
served to Intensify the feeling of tin
easiness. Hopes of a settlement of
the reported breach are based upon
the concerted appeal of leaders of
both factions to bury all di'ferences
for the advancement of plans to
overthrow the Huerta government.
WESTING HOUSE STRIKE.
PittsDurg. Westlnghouse strikers
today made another Ineffectual effort
to extend the strike to the Trafford

Rebel General Demands of Car
ranza That Miilitary and Civil
Branches of Constitutionalists
Must Be Apart
Eagle Pass, Texas.—That General
Villa has presented an ultimatum to
General Carranza demanding absolute
separation of the civil and military
branches of the constitutionalist gov
ernment was the substance of dis
patches received at constitutionalist
headquarters In Pledras Negras today.
A committee of three officers was said
now to be In conference with Carranza
at Saltillo, presenting Villa's plan.
The Plan.
According to constitutionalist offi
cials at Pledras Negras, this plan is
as follows:
First, Villa to have complete con
trol Of the army and to direct the
military without interference, while
Carranza Is to have control of the
civil government and foreign relations.
Second, Villa agTees to recognize
Carranza as his superior, provided
Carranza uncords him recognition as
supreme military chief.
Third, the promotion of officers and
the disposition of their commands to
be In Villa s hands.
Else, Resignation.
Constitutionalists expressed their be
lief that If these demands were grant
ed, Villa would proceed with the cam
paign and take personal command of
the forces In the field. Otherwise,
they said, they thought he would per
sist In his resignation.
The third clause of Villa’s ultima
tum was accepted here as a direct an
swer to Carranza’s promotion of Gen
eral Natera to command the division
of the center and his resulting disas
trous attack on Zarateras.

More Doubt Expressed Re

Today Than at Any Time
Since Negotiations Began
Washington-—While administration
officials said today they still had hopes
for a successful outcome of the media
tion at Niagara Falls, they apparently
were more doubtful than they have
been at any time since the conference
began.
Officials dose to the President, feel
that Senor Kabasa’s published note of
yesterday disclosed anew that the
Mexican delegates are consistently
holding out for u Huerta adherent for
the provisional presidency, despite the
fact that many such men have been
mentioned as ''neutrals."
President Wilson Is equally deter
mined In his view, that unless a man,
approved by the constitutionalists ts
chosen, the new provisional govern
ment will be In trouble from the out
set.
White House officials said that when
the reply of the American delegates to
Henor HqliaHa's note was published, it
would tie a sufficient explanation of the
attitude of the United States.

Brotherly Feeling.
Captain Mulptco formerly wne a
lieutenant in the Mexican navy and
toward him and his men the Guerre

was at work early today on a reply to
the statement. Issued last night by
Emilio Hahasa of the Mexican delega
tion, but waited word from President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan as to
whether It should he made public.
Mr. Rabasa's statement waa a para
phrase of a memorandum given to *ho
American delegates last Friday, critic
ising their plan for establishment of a
provisional government. The state
ment declared that Insistence by the
United States on a constitutionalist
mr provisional president would be
"tantamount to a betting and even ex
acting fraud anil violence at the elec
tions.”
Much Speculation.
... WBS much speculation as to
the reason for publishing the Mexican
Statement at this time. The American
delegates were not ofTended hut thev
thought that notice of publication of
the miDHtunco of the memorandum to
Which a reply had already been given,
should have been conveyed to them so
That a response could have been pub

While It was felt in some quarters
that the action of tho Mexican delega
