WARSHIP NEARLY SINKS.
Displacement Of New Hampshire
Sea Valve to Be Probed,

NEW YORK, March 6-That the battle
ship New Hampshire narrowly escaped
sinking at the Brooklyn navy yard Mon
day has just leaked out from unofficial
sources The battleship was about to be
wed out of the dry dock after under
going repairs.
When the big dock was flooded three
tugs made fast to the battleship and
started to pull her out. when o'le of the
bluejackets discovered that a sea valve
had been broken and water was pouring
into the vessel in great volume. She was
quickly replaced in the dock and the
water pumped out.
How the valve became displaced will
probably be a subject for court Of in
quiry. It is too far below the waterline
to have been accidentally knocked of,
and there is a suspicion that it may have
been tampered with.

More troops are to be ordered to the

1t is expected that the President will
have a conference with Mr.. Stimson to-
morrow upon the arrival Of that cabinet
officer from the west, and there is little
doubt that the outcome Of the conference
will be the dispatching of a large de-
tachment of troops to the border to rein
force those already on the ground.
The situation in Mexico is understood
to be growing more unsatisfactory each
day. and is becoming a more perplexing
problem with each minute. so far as the

of 1t all really appalls those whose duty
it Is to protect and care for Americans
