shipping circles the lot would be
lightered to the Ward liner Antilla,
which is to sail late today for Tam
pico. Officials of the Ward line re
fused to say whether the shipment
had been offered for the Antilla.
Agents for the company which manu

No Damage So Far By
the California Volcano
Redding, Calif.—Thus far no dam
age has been reported as a result of
the eruption of Mount Lassen in
Shasta County. Further activity of
the old volcano, forest rangers said
today, would endanger millions of
feet of timber to the East and North
east. On the north side there is no
danger of a conflagration as the slope
|is covered for two miles from the
j summit with lava and there is little
vegetation.
Twelve automobile parties today
started from Redding to try to reach
the crater.
In Commemoration of
British Bombardment
Lewes Del. —Citizens of this vicinity
today unveiled a monument comme
morating the bombardment of Lewes
by a British fleet during the war of
1812. The exercises were held under
the direction of the National Society,
Daughters of the War of 1812.
The bombardment by 15 vessels oc
curred in April, 1813, when the towns
people refused to supply the British
vessels with food. The defense was
by Delaware troops who inflicted more
damage upon the vessels than the lat
ter inflicted upon the tbwn. It is a
matter of local tradition that the onls
casualties on shore w-ere the killing ol
a cow, a pig and a chicken.

MEETING
AT POINT
OF SWORD
ONLY
Constitutionalists Say They
Have Nothing to Mediate
With Huerta. Carranza Crit
isizes South American Envoys
at Niagara Falls Meet.
Washington. —Rafael Zubaran, head
of the Carranza agdncy here, com
mented today upon Mexico City dis
patches representing Gen. Huerta as
desiring that the constitutionalists en
ter the mediation proceedings so that
Mexico's affairs might be settled by
Mexicans.
“The constitutionalists have nothing
to mediate with Huerta." said he, "and
can only meet him at the point of the
sword.”
Widespread Attention.
Washington —The semi-official state
ment from Gen. Carranza's headquar
ters at Durango criticising the course
of the South American mediators, at
tracted widespread attention here to
day. Such expressions in the state
ment as that the constitutionalists
“point out the fact that conquerors
are not usually wont to permit the
conquered to dictate terms of peace,”
gave Tise to much speculation. Ad
ministration chiefs declined to com
ment on declarations from Niagara
Falls that the Druango statement
would not alter the mediators' atti
tude toward the constitutionalists.
Hope was not lacking, however, that
differences between the mediators and
the constitutionalists could be dissi
pated.
Secretary Bryan was in frequent
communication with the members of
the American mission at Niagara Falls
and reiterated that the conference was
"progressing satisfactorily.” Beyond
this he would say nothing.
Many observers today took the po
sition that even if mediation were
confined to differences between Hu
erta and the United States and the
northern faction continued its cam
paign to Mexico City, there still would
be need of outside help to restore nor
mal conditions in the republic.
CONSIDERING HAMLIN.
Washington, D. C. —Fharles R. Ham
lin, assistant secretary of the treas
ury, was being discussed today as a
most likely choice of the President for
governor of the federal reserve board.
No decision will be reached until the
return of Secretary McAdoo later this
week.
