en- by surprise in the Mexican situa.
ton and that the Washington govern.
ment is justified in taking precaution
airy measures, is the general view of
the London Morning News.
1t is considered that a violent change
of government is possibility to be
reckoned with and it is pointed out
that there is strong party behind
the revolutionists seeking to establish
a Mexican federation of Central Amer
lean republics. which would prejudice
the interests of the United States in
Panama.

can governments have had a bitter
experience over the embarrassment
caused by lack OF readiness for naval
or military action when such action
had become imperative. The assem-
bling Of ships and troops, it adds, may
therefore be wise measure.

or more men on board the stranded
steamer Manchuria. which lies 300
feet from the beach, three miles south

chung the crew. the lifesavers for
hours tried to shoot line to them.
The life savers often were caught
by the angry waves and dashed high
upon the beach. They finally made
the life line fast, shot the basket out
to the stranded ship and brought
ashore, one by one, eight members of
the crew. Their journey to shore was
almost entirely under water.
The storm increased in fury until
the waves beat back on the beach for
several hundred feet and the life saw
ers, recognizing it would be suicide to
attempt to take off any more of the
crew, abandoned the work of rescue
for time.
From the Manchuria signals were
flashed that the ship was leaking but
would probably withstand the storm
for the night.
The wire to Cape Henry went down
with the storm. and no word from the
ship was received after 10 o'clock last
night. There are forty life savers
standing watch from the beach near
