ANARCHY in MEXICO.
Peon Class, Learning of Power, Are
Bent on PiIlage.

Los Angeles, June 1.-The text of
the resolutions adopted by refugees
aboard he transport Buford calling
for American Intervention in Mexico
was given out Friday night Follow
ing are the resolutions:
United States army transport Blu
ford, at sea, May %.
Whereas, We, the passengers on
board the United States transport Bu-
ford, have been collected from all
parts OF the western states of Mexico,
and from our association with
all classes of Mexican people, must
have gained a knowledge of the law
less conditions now existing in that
unfortunate country which can In no
other way be obtained, and believing
that a candid statement of what in
our judgment are ~undeniable facts will
do much to enlighten the American
people to the true conditions there ex-
listing, urske the following statements:
"First-That with the possible excep-
ton of one leader, all the socalled revo-
~lutionists are nothing more than local
bands Of marauders and loOterS whose
only object is that which may be gain
ed by loot and rapine.
"Second-That these bands of rob-
bers are rapidly increasing, both in
number and audacity, until a positive
condition of anarchy now exists
until the lives and property, not only
of foreigners but OF the better class of
Mexicans are no longer safe
"Third-That the government has
long since given ample proof of its in
ability to maintain law and order, or
to enlist the patriotic support of it's
people.
"Fourth-That the peon class, con-
sisting of nearly 80 per cent of the en-
tire population, ignorant n ire
sponsibie, are rapidly arming and
learning their power, and unless this
is checked within a very short time
will in all probability result in a repe-
tition of the Spanish massacre.
"Fifth-That American Intervention
is the only solution of the problem
which the Mexican people are unable
to handle and a solution that will be
welcom- by a very arg majority of
the better element of these people.
"Stxtll-The reports given out by
n Mexican government regarding ex-
listing conditions are in the great ma
JoF1ty q cases absolutely false and
that there Is no doubt but that many
Americans lave been murdered in cold
blood during the present year.
"SeveHth-That in view of the pre-
ceding facts and considering that the
natural tendency of these people is
against 'aw and order. we hold it to be
the moral duty of the United States as
a civilized nation and friendly neigh
Dor to at once take immediate action
to prevent this reversion and barbar-
ism.

OLYMPIC'S "INNER SKIN"
925O,O0O CHANGES DUE To The LESSONS
FROM TITANIC.

The White Star liner Olympic will return
to Belfast at the close Of the present ATTAIN
tic travel season, probably late in October
or early in November, to undergo extensive
alterations designed partly to provide furth-
Ell accommodation for frst-class passengers
and partly to apply the lessons of the disas-
ter to her sister ship, the Titanic.
With a view to minimise the danger of
sinking from collision new side bunkers will
be constructed round the ship, extending
practically from the double bottom to above
the water-line. They will for all practical
purposes form az inner skin. It will be re
membered that the cash caused in the Ii
tanic's side by the iceberg was below the
water-line.
A prominent official of Messrs Harland
and Wolff expressed the opinion that short
of placing a complete new inner skin in the
Olympic the changes will give the best
guarantee of unsinkableness. The Olym-
pic will be safer than any vessel a1oat.'
The alterations in the accommodation of
the vessel will provide sixty more suites of
luxurious rooms. The whole of the contem-
plated work will cost about G25O,OOO and
will occupy between 1000 and 5000 men
working day aud night. shifts for about six
months.-Zbid
