MAY LIFT EMBARGO ON ARMS

Washington. Nov. 11.-Developments
in the Mexican situation tended to
emphasize a purpose OIL the part OF
the Washington government to refuse
to recognize any Of the acts of the
new Mexican congress and brought to
light the fact that serious considera-
ton is being given by President Will.
son to the question Of permitting eX-
portations OF arms to all factions in
the Southern republic.
Secretary Bryan had a long confer
ence With Senior A!gara, charge daft
fairies Of the Mexican embassy, dur
ing which it is understood he said
the United States considered the cleo
ton Of congressman equally as invalid
as the voting for president and vice
president.
The secretary summoned the minis
tiers from five Central American coun-
tries and outlined to them in general
what had been done by the United
States in its diplomatic parties with
the Huerta government.
Later he announced that he also
had been in communication with the
diplomatic representatives Of the for
eign powers and had informed them
OF the steps taken by the United
States thus far.
Home Governments Informed.
1t was reported some OF these dip
lomats transmitted long dispatches to
their home governments describing
the situation as approaching closer to
a complete break in relations between
the United States and Mexico than at
any time since the Mexican problem
became troublesome.
The state department made public
/ .lertas statement to the diplomatic
corps in Mexico City at midnight last
Saturday, the burden of which was
that the presidential election would be
declared null and void, but the newly
elected members Of congress would
soon be installed; the national legis-
lature would soon resume the legisla-
tive powers which General Huerta
had seer fit to assume
In view OF the fact that the note re-
cited in detail Huerta's defense of his
assumption of legislative authority
and his arrest OF the deputies, and
gave also his program for the future,
it was taken by many diplomats as an
obvious reply to the American sug-

Duluth. Nov. 11.--Loss of life and
untold property damage is believed to
be the toll of the storm that has
dashed the waves OF lower Lake Su-
perior for three days and continues I'M
abated.
A fifty-mile gale, against which life
boats and tugs cannot battle, is halt
ing all attempts at rescue of the eight
large boats and two passenger steam
ers which are known to have ground
ed at different points off the Upper
Peninsula Of Michigan.
Oldest marine men are comparing
the storm with hat of 1905 when the
loss OF life and property was appall-
ing. Boats due here Friday are not
vet in and owners are at a loss to
know OF their whereabouts. 1t is re-
ported, however, that ten boats are in
shelter at the ship canals harbor Of
refuge at Portage Lake and three
more are at Bette Girls.
Greatest fear is expressed for the
safety of the crew, numbering about
twenty-eight men, of the unknown
steamer aground on Gull Rock, off
Manitou islands, at the extreme end OF
keWeenaw Point, Mich. All attempts
by the ~lifesaving crew at Eagle harbor
to reach the stranded boat have
proved unavailing.
Will Try to Reach Wreck.
Captain Mccormick and his ~lifesav-
ing crew from the Portage Lake shiS
canal will leave on a tug, taking with
them a p~owerboat, with which an at
tempt will be made to reach the
wreck.
A Tomlinson line steamer sank off
Gras Cap Point, according to advices
from Sault Ste. Marie. Later the cap
tain of the McDougal, which reached
the 500, said he heard distress signals
from the steamer but on account of
heavy seas had to give up the attempt
to reach the boat, say wireless reports.
The passenger steamer Saranac was
driven aground in Whitefish bay by
the storm. She is resting on sand and
her condition is not considered Ian
gerous.
The steamer Arcadian, a 3OO-foot
steel freighter, owned by the Mer-
chants Mutual line of Toronto, is re-
ported hard aground on a reef in Thun-
der bay, seven miles off the port of
Alpena, Mich. Captain Robert McIn-
tyre and his crew are believed to be
saved.
According to reports three other
steamers are stranded at points on
Lake Superior and three craft are
missing.
