The situation was too strong for any

There were no claims in amy direc

Ia be that the advance was based up
on natural conditions. which are Ger

THE ALFONSO IS
NOW HIGH AND
DRY IN DOCK
And Workrnen Will Be En-
gagged For a Week or
More Making Repairs.

The Spanish steamer Alfonso XIII,
which went into the naval deck
Wednesday morning, is now high and
dry, and the work of making the
necessary repairs to the propeller has
started. The dock was pumped out
during Wednesday night and yester-
day morning, and when workmen re-
ported at the yard yesterday morning
for duty they found the big vessel
clear of the water.
The pumps had to be stopped the
day previous on account of some OF
the motors running hot. and but for
this fact the vessel would have been
out Wednesday afternoon.
Ii is estimated that the repair
work will require he vessel re-
manning in the dock at least week.
The employees of the navy yard are
allowed to work only eight hours
day, except in case OF extreme emer-
gency, and consequently no overtime
can be done by these men. 1t is pos
sible. though, that the Gulf Machine
Works will arrange to have the ma
chinists in its employ work at night
in making repairs to the propeller in
order to accomplish the work quicker

BY MEXICO
In Affairs of Central Arneri-

to Be Watched.
WITH MORE THAN ORDINARY IN
TEREST, OWING LARGELY TO
POSSIBLE TROUBLE BETWEEN
HER AND GUATEMALA IN NEAR
FUTURE.

Washington, May 23-The interest
that Mexico is taking in the affairs
of the Central American states, owing
largely to her proximity to trouble
with Guatemala, makes every move
on the political chessboard interest
ing.
President Diaz seems to desire to
have all hands secure to the turbu-
lent states a degree of quiet that
would tend to progress and develop
This peace and security, he would
bring about by forming the five coun-
tries into one, the stability of the one
to be guaranteed by Joint protector
ate of the United States and Mexico.
This would undoubtedly bring peace
and quiet, as the revOlutionists in the
several countries, when they burst
bounds could be treated as ward heal
ers, and brought to book. In this way
the people would be saved much dis
cash, and business would have a
chance to grow. But some very fund
amental ideas would have to be tuck
ed away out of sight.
One very important principle would
certainly be violated by this country,
inasmuch as we would violate that sa-
cred injunction of George Washington.
which prescribed that we would alb
stain from all entagling alliances. 1t
will hardly do for Uncle Sam to en-
ter upon the enterprise. and yet it
would be the biggest stroke for peace
that can be struck on this green earth
1t will pay to watch the development
of President Diaz's movement.
