: FOR THE BUFoRD

The torpedo boat destroyers Preble and
Perry. which slipped out of San Diego
harbor last night, are under orders to in
tercept the gunboat Yorktown by wire
less and tell her not to stop at any Mexi-
can port for coal. In view of conditions
prevailing in Mexico 1t is deemed inad-
visable to have an American gunboat
drop in at any of the coastal cities
The gunboat Yorktown is en- route to
San. Diego from Guayaquil, Ecuador. and
had been stopping at various Central
american ports on the way up the coast.
She is accompanied by the collier Pro-
metheus.
| Commander Washington Of the York
town sent radiogram to the department
saying he would put in at q Mexican port
to take more coal from the Prometheus.
AS the Yorktown left San Jose de
Guatemala last Tuesday and Ia now at
sea, the destroyers Preble and Perry were
ordered to get in communication and tell
her it., it was at all possible to try to
make San Diego without recoaling.
To Pick Up 6uyant.
The transport Buford will stop at San
Diego for the purpose Of picking up
Claude E. Guyant, who has been dis
patched from Mexico City to Los Mochis
for the purpose Of establishing q con-
sular agency. there. He will board the
vessel about 3 o'clock Tuesday. and the
boat will proceed Immediately for the
west coast OF Mexico.
Mr.. Guyant will dfsembark At Topolo-
bampo and will proceed from there over
land to Los Mochis.- II. he finds no
Americans at these places after the Bu-
ford arrives he is under; orders from the
State Department to proceed with the
vessel to other places. The War Depart
ment absolutely denies that the Buford
will be conveyed from San Diego.
Enlisted Men Aboard.
: Although 1t IL admitted at both the
State and War departments that the Bu-
ford had aboard forty enlisted men under
the command Of Capt. Herbert ]. Bell. 1t
is explained that they were taken mainly
as a disciplinary precaution. It was
pointed out that the Buford on her cruise
along the Mexican coast undoubtedly
would pick up Americans OF all classes,
and 1t was believed to be highly desir-
able to have soldiers aboard to preserve
order on the vessel, as we'll, as on shore,
in case Of necessity. Capt. Brees is aid

made by bringing them together with
as much power as possible. This is
on the same principle as the breast
