GEN. DIAz FLEES TO AMERICAN SHIP
Fled Over House Tops at Vera Cruz to Escape Those He Believed Sought His Life-Eng-
 land Keeps Out.

Vera Cruz, Mex, Oct 2S.-General Diaz applied 10 the American con- sulate during the night for protec- ton, and was taken on board the United States gunboat Wheeling.
 Jose Sandoyal and Cecilio Ocon, two MeXicans, and Alexander Will Hams, an American newspaper cor respondent, who had made similar application to the consulate, were also taken on board the gunboat with General Diaz.
 It was late last evening when Gen. Felix Daiz became convinced of the advisabilily of seeking American protection. From the ho- tel where he had been staying and which is contiguous 10 the United States consulate, he made his way to consul's office and informed Con- sul William w. Canada he had re- ceiVed information that his life was in peril He told the consul that a humber of his adherents had been lput in jail.
 General DiaZ was accompanied to | the consulate by Jose SandOVal and CeciliO Ocon. who also requested protection for themselves.
 The American consul at once took steps to have the refugees trans ferred on boac1 the gunboat Wheeling. The three Mexican fu- gitives and Alexander Williams, an American newspaper man, were taken to a small boat and hurried on board the American warship, where they were given accommodations.
 The fact that Gen. Diaz and two of his supporters were refugees on board the Wheeling was not discov- cred by the Mexican authorities un- til this morning.
 The flight took place after mid night, the three men taking the risk of an excursion over the roof-tops which were guarded by armed men into the American consulate.

WILSON DECLARES
 NATIONAL POLICY
United States Will Never Again Seek to Secure Foot of Territory Through COnqueSt-"Morality
 and Not Expediency."

Mobile, Ala, Oct. 27.-President Wilson declared in his speech this morning before the Southern Com mercial Congress that the motive in the United States relations with the countries of this hemisphere would be one of morality and not cxpedi- ency."
 T want to say that the United States will not seek again to secure one additional foot of territory by conquest he declared.
 While he did not mention Mexico, the president delivered a yelled at tack on the material interests which have influenced foreign gov ernments, and his utterances were interpreted as an arraignment of those financial influences which are alleged to have secured the recOg- milton of HuerLa from the big pow CTS.
 He declared that it would be the duty of the United States to assist the nations of this hemisphere in
 emancipation" from the material interests of other nations" The seventh annual convention of the Southern Commercial Congress was opened today. Added interest is given the congress, which is eX- pected by many to be more import ant than previous ones. because of the celebration of the Pan-Ameri- can canal work about to be com pleted and a memorial to the late Senator John T. Morgan of Ala bama, who for many years advocat- ed in Congress building a canal across the isthmus. Commercial in- terests throughout the South were represented here today, and while no concerted line of action was mapped out by those governing the policy of the congress, it was gen. erally believed this would be the
 most important of the seven gath erings. Delegates arriving here say it is necessary to quicken the in
 terest among Southern business
 men, now that the Panama canal is
 about to be opened, and they say
 they have come to this meeting to
 aid in any movement aiming at go-
 ing after business that will be ere
 ated by opening of the waterway

AN OCEAN LINER
 DODCED ICEBERG
Careful SeamanShip Saved TeutOnic From Hitting Mountain of Ice and Sharing Titanic's Fate-i00
 Appreciative Passengers.

London, Oct. 27.-The thrilling escape of the White Star liner leu tonic from collision with a great iceberg was told on the arrival of that liner at Liverpool today. That the ship did not meet the dreadful fate that befell the Titanic was due entirely to the careful seamanship of Captain James.
 The Teutonic left Montreal the morning of October IS, and called at Quebec the same night. It left for Liverpool shortly afterward. Fog on Wednesday morning en- veloped the ship and it was impos- sible to see more than a few yards ahead. This condition of affairs lasted for several hours. Mean while a wireless warning had been received from a passing steamer re- porting the presence of ice and the bitterly cold atmosphere confirmed the report.
 Steering Right at an Lceherg.
 About 3:30 o'clock in the after noon Wednesday, as the steamer crept slowly along. the officer at the forecastle head made a dash across the deck and reported to the captain that a huge iceberg lay right ahead. The captain instantly ordered the engines full speed astern and had the helm put hard to port.
 The Teutonic quickly responded and swung around to right just as an enormous iceberg loomed out of the fog. passing within a few yards of the vessel on the port side.
 Passengers Were Thankful.
 There were about four hundred passengers on the Teutonic and a number of them signed a testl- monial to Captain James.
 The Teutonic, which was for years in the White Star service be- tween New York and Liverpool made it's last voyage to New York in April, 1911. It's place was taken by the Olympic, which then came out and the TeutOnic went into the Canadian service. The Teutonic was built by Harland X Wolff at Belfast. Ireland, and was launched in 1889. It is vessel of 9,9S4 tons 565 feet long and flfty-seven feet beam.
