Mexican Government is Master of Situation and Order Being Restored CHANGE IN CABINET President DiaZ Said to Be Contemp-
 iating It-All's Quiet in
 North Mexico.
Unternatlonal News SpeclaD

Mexico City, Nov. 24.-General Manuel Gonzales Coscio, minister of war, in an interview granted this evening said the government is abso- lutely master of the situation in ev- cry point in Mexico. The so-called Revolutionlsts have now resolved themselves into mere bandits or out laws and are fleeing from the troops everywhere. The government expect ed 1t might have to fight in Guer- rero, but the disturbers there had fled to the mountains before the troops arrived. They are now being chased by the soldiers
 The news of this department is that all is quiet everywhere in the Republic American flags are flying ill this city today on account of the
 thanksgiving Day of the Americans. Mixed teams of Americans and Mexi- cans played ball, polo, bowling and football here today. The Pelados prison is filled with dsturbers who will doubtless be punished with the utmost severity without any unne- cessary delays.
 Rumors are current among bank CTS and business men in close touch with the Mexican government that there will be changes in President Diaz's cabinet as soon as everything is quiet and normal again.
 The business men say these changes will be made to placate an undoubtedly large party in the coun- try not satisfied with the present personnel of the Cabinet and would prevent further demonstrations ill case of the death of President Diaz or for any other excuse.
 Change in Governors. G., ! El Paso Texas, Nov 24.-Alberto Perrazos was chosen governor of the state of Chihuahua today succeeding John Marie Sancheb, who is said not to have shown sufficient tact and force in dealing with the insurgep. movement. His appeal to Americans in Chihuahua, to arm themselves and help to repulse the invaders, is said to have especially incensed his gov- ernorment
 There has been no further fighting i'll Northern Mexico, so far as is re- ported and telegrams from Gomez Falacio, Jiminez, Tarral, Chihuahua and elsewhere show that ever ything is quiet.

fortunes which have befallen the dock occurred
on Saturday November p. The temporary dam
in the end of one of BrOoklyn's sewers which
crosses the yard beside the site of the dock gave
way before the pressure of a high tide. The
water rushed back into the conduit and poured
through the wide cracks caused by a previous
collapse of the dock. This was sealed up by
a concrete dam in order that the work upon the
dock might go forward night and day
This is because of the physical difficulties to be
overcome. The navy yard is underlaid fifty feet
or more below the surface by a quicksand.
Across the site chosen for the big dock ran an
important Brooklyn sewer. The contractor was
expected to move this sewer and erect the gran
ite and concrete structure piles. Work could
not be begun on the dock itself until arrange
rnents had been made for replacing the build
ings on the site, this being a thickly built up
part of the yard, with others in other parts of
the yard and the preparation Of designs. The
accomplishment Of this preliminary work con-
sumed four years, and the first contract was not
signed until February Z, 1905.
After carrying the sewer around the proposed
excavation the first contractor drove a line of
steel sheet piling around the site to a depth of
fifty feet and then began excavatng inside this
metal box. The quicksand penetrated beneath
the piles and began to boil up IN the centre OK
New-York tribune., 1910-01-30

the excavation. This resulted in the general
settlement of the surrounding buildings, and
finally caused the failure of a SiX-fOOt sewer at
the head and the cracking of a seven-foot sewer
at the east side of the dock The first contract
finally declared forfeited and annulled by
the government and let to another contractor
April IA. 1908.
The second contractor tried another plan,
styled the side wall method. This contractor
placed a part of a concrete wall the west
side. This showed Indication of movement
under the earth and water pressure to which it
was subjected and the movement finally be-
came so great that the work was tentatively
rejected by the government. The flow of the
quicksand had not been stopped and the side
buildings and sewers showed the effect of the
removal of the sand beneath them The heavy
power station of the yard at the head of the
dock threatened to descend into the bowels of
the earth.
The government, dcspairing of success from
the efforts of this contractor, October l,
1909 annuled this contract. 1t then sought
bids from I, number of the leading contractors
of the country, and receiving an offer from the
Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins Corporation, of Bos-
ton to complete the work for 81 3S9 OOO awarded
that firm the contract.
