BODIES OF DROWNED
 SEAMEN NOT FOUND
BELIEVED IN NAVAL CIRCLES THAT LAUNCH WITH SIX MID- sHIPMEN AND FIVE SEAMEN RUN DOWN BY COAL BARGE.

Norfolk. Va, June 13.-Rumors that the body of Coxwain Robert H. Dodson of the battleship Minnesotas il-fated launch, which, with it's eleven occupants. six midshipmen and five seamen, went to the bottom of Hampton Roads in the darkness of Tuesday night, was found floating in the Roads today are denied An orderly from one of the ships of the Atlantic fleet stated at Old Point Com fort that the bodies of the other ten men drowned had ben taken to the Norfolk nav,- yard. Admiral Thomas of the fleet, however, sent wireless message to shore denying that the bodies had been found anu a denial was made at the navy yard.
 It now seems to be accepted in naval circles that the little launch was run down by a coal barge shortly after the frail boat carrying the eleven men left Discovery landing. It was learned here today that Commodore William H. Evans yacht, the Chilhowee. with a party of Baltinoreans, was anchored off the ex- position ground, a short distance from where the accident is thought to have happened and, accordingto the members of the party. cries of the drowning mid shipmen and sailors were heard coming from over the water, though the party at that time believed that the noises were made by jubilant parties returning from the army and navy ball.

MEXICO BENT ON
 MAKING TROUBLE
HUNDRED IN DIPLOMATIC CIR CLEStTHAT PRETEXT WILL BE FOUND TO INTERFERE WITH GUATEMALA'S AFFAIRS.


 Guatemala City, June 1S.-In diplomatic circles here it is rumored that Mexico is determined to interfere in the affairs of Guatemala. Even if the Mexican citi- zens charged with being connected with the attempt on the life of President Cab rera is exhonerated, it is stated that an other pretext will be found It is re- ported that considerable pressure is be- ing brought to bear on the executive from diffirent quarters for and against mak- ing an example of some of the condemned men, and that should single prisoner be executed this would furnish the preteXt for which Mexico is awaiting, and she immediately would demand the consent of the authorities at Washington to marcn into Guatemala on the plea of humanity, under circumstances similar to the Amer jean occupation of Cuba. It is further stated here that the Guatemalan admin istration will be obliged to make an ex- ample of some of the prisoners for the effect upon the dscontented element and assure internal peace.
 Should Mexicos attitude assume hos tile phase, it is hoped that Washington will intervene. Fears of complications with other countries are pronounced to be groundleSs.

SCOUR NEW ORLEANS
 FOR KIDNAPPED BOY
WALTER LAMANA NOT FOUND. TWO ITALIANS ARE ARRESTED. MANY HOMES SEARCHED FOR BLACK HAND"

New Orleans, June i3.--Walter Lamana was not found today, although in the search for his kdnapers hundreds of Italian homes were raided in New Or leans and surrounding towns. Bands of angry Italians made many of these searches in the city tonight until the police began making arrests as a precau- ton. The usual threats of lynching the kdnaper if he is caught have been made, but the police and the leading commer- elal bodies of the city, who have lent their support to the movement to stamp out Italian disorder, apparently have the situ- ation under easy control.
 Two raids organized by the police to- day, failed of result. Harvey's canal, a few miles from the city. was practically under seige for several nouIS while police and deputies searched about POO Italian homes. Persons who passed the sheriff s men had to prove their identity. The search was watched by Walter Lamana' s father and by the chairman of the com mittee of wealthy Italians who organized last night to rid New Orleans of Black Hand and similar societies.
 In this search two Italians were ar rested, one of whom was quickly released The other was held as suspicious per son. The police had been informed by letter that the lost boy might be at liar vey's canal. Before daylight today a train with lights out and bearing eight de- tectives from New Orleans pulled into Bogalusa, La. from which place Mir Lamana was reported ro nave received a letter appointing redezvous for ransom ing his boy.
 Bogalusa is a lumber town which has had mushroom growth within the past few month, and many Italians have been attracted there The detectives arrested Thomas Garanado, but announced that they had found no trace of the missing boy.
 Shortly after midnight the police had rounded up seven suspects, the last two being brought in from Kenner. La, from which place the first demand for ransom came.

BAD WEATHER HELD
 METCALF PARTY
Dolphin Reaches Washington With All Aboard, Except Meyer, After Many
 Delays on the James River.

Washington, June 13.-After rather an Chesapeake bay and up the James river, Secretary Metcalf and party returned to Washington at II o'clock today with all of his original party aboard with the exception of Postmaster General and Mrs. Meyer, who left the others at Westover. Va, and returned to Washington by train. Almost from the first Secretary Metcalf encountered delays. He had planned to leave Washington early last the Dolphin did not get away from the navy yard until late in the afternoon, the delay being caused by the non-arrival on schedule time of the railway train which was bringing MT. and Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt from Asheville.
 Besides the Vanderbilts, there were aboard Mrs. Metcalf and Miss Chabot. q friend of the secretary's family. After experiencing good deal of bad weather the Dolphin arrived in Hampton Roads and took part in the naval display of last Monday on the occasion of the Pres ident's visit. The following day the party made trip in the lighthouse tender Maple up the James river to point thir- ty miles beyond Jamestown island OF a visit to some friends in that neighbor- hood. At that point Postmaster General and Mrs. Meyer left the party, driving over in a carriage to the nearest railroad station, about seven miles distant, and returning by train to Washington.
 Much fog, heavy rains and generally thick weather made the navigation of the tortuous James river difficult, and the party was not able to return to the Dol phin, which lay at the mouth of the river awaiting them until yesterday afternoon, when the party arrived from the Maple and came leisurely up the Potomac.
