 EXPECTED BY. U. s.
ITS NOT A MILITARY CRISIS
p..oonitlon of Constitutlonalists and Iiftjna of Ban on Munitions Are Aoain Discussed in Plan to
 Mexicans Fight 1t Out.

Washington. Oct. Perseverance of d,nlomatic relations with Mexico is in prospect as the climax to curt rota to President Huerta, informing him of this country's disapproval of his action in assuming dictatorship In Mayico Recognition of the belliger- ancv of the constitutionalists now Hghting the Huerta government in northern Mexico, and the granting to them of permission to import muni- tons of war from the United States, admittedly is being considered by the administration.
 President Huertas latest act, viu- ating the elections called for Oct 26, was the last straw. The United States government now feels that Huerta has no intention of relinquishing pow CT in Mexico; that he aims to become another Diaz His elaborate system of duplicity in dealing with this gov ernment has convinced officials that no dependence can be placed on his promises.
 Administration officials took pains to emphasize that the approaching crisis is not a military one. The ad- ministration does not consider inter- yention unless Huerta's coup results in a wholesale massacre of foreign CTS. The United States contemplates leaving Huerta and his followers strictly alone, without the semi-dip- lomatic relations of recent months.
 Other Nations Advised.

GERMANS HOLD CELEBRATION
Centennial of War of Liberation and Kings Birthday Observed With
 Fete at Bloomington, III.

Bloomington, H., Oct. 16.-The big quarter of century Is on in this city. It celebrates the one hundredth anniversary of the liberation of Ger many and the twenty-fifth anniver- sary of the rule of Emperor William Germans from all parts of central H. linois arrived here to take part.
 Probably the most striking feature of the decoration is a careful repro duction of the famous Unter Den Linden of Berlin.
 A big German picnic on Friday will close the celebration.

sengers to jump, and they were res cued by boats. At 12 midnight the weather was overcast and squally. Operations were suspended, it be- ing too dark for boats to see. The fire meanwhile worked through the women's steerage to the after end of the ship, but we kept knowledge of this from the passengers, who quiet throughout the rest of the night.
 At 5:15 a. m. the first boat ar rived. Weather and sea having mod erated, boats were enabled to come alongside ship, which enabled passen- gers to embark quickly. All the steamers laying around the ship sent boats. Now we were enable to load three boats with passengers at once. The passengers left in a very orderly way, and there was no panic, women breaking down and crying, when help was alongside, and all were off the ship by 8 a. m., about 400 passengers. l searched the ship myself and found no one else On board, so decided to dDdluOH Her, us tue NO. . udlC0 was we'll alight by now, so, with the re- mainder of the crew, embarked on the Kroonland."
 Nothing at all has been heard of the two missing boats. Passing yes sels were asked to keep a lookout for them.
 'I wish to express my heartiest thanks and gratitude to the captains of the ships who stood by also to the officers and crews who came to our assistance, for their bravery and endurance in their endeavor to come alongside the ship; also to the pas sengers of the Kroonland for their kindness to the rescued passengers, engineers and crew and myself in fit ting us out and doing everything for us. Following are the names of the steamers that came to our assistance:
 "Carmania, Grosser Kurfuerst, La Tourraine, Asian. Narragansett, Seyd litz, Minneapolis, Devonian, Car Rappahannock. also one other steamer, without wireless. The ship was abandoned in latitude 4S.30 north, longitude 3457 west"

that several of the powers which hastened to recognize Huerta soon after he stepped into the presidency over the body of Francisco Madero are now considering formal revoca- tion of that act.
 Such a step, it was pointed out, might precipitate the dictator's down fall by closing most of the worlds money markets to him.
 It was consistently reported that unofficially state department agents are in communication with the consti- tutionalists seeking exact informa- tion on their program of reform in Mexico and what promises they would make in return for partial rec ognition by this country of their bel ligerency. The same sort of tacit acquiescence in rebel operations that the United States extended Madero against Diaz might be the fulcrum by which the constitutionalists would be able to pry Huerta loose.
 It was pointed out that the United States could not formally recognize the belligerency of the constitution alists unless 1t desired formally to relinquish all claims against the Huerta regime for damages to Ameri- can property. But the ban against exportation of arms and ammunition to insurrectionists could be raised.
 Special Envoy John Lind, whose stay in Mexico was to have continued until after the elections of Oct 26. is now expected to return at an early date. Reports persisted here that Charge 'Shaughnessy had incurred Huerta's bitter enmity because of his post as mouthpiece for the curt warn ings of this government and might be handed his passports at any moment.

brought about u higher rate of efficiency
in governmental offices.
When one Of Senator Aldrich's expert
ence announces that the government
wastes $500. 10000 year-nearly one
third of the annual budget-and when an
expensive commission OF experts corro-
borates this charge. little can be said
IN praise of efficiency, with or without
the civil service protection. But. regard
less of the civil service. II is looked upon
as decidedly unwise by many to add 10
such a burden of inefficiency the tele-
graph systems of this country.
Many who believe that the logical
scheme would include the telegraph
lines under the Postoffice Department,
doubt the advisabIlity in view of the
well-known ineficiency OF OF adminis-
trative machinery.
AS far as generally is known, President
Wilson has never publicly taken a stand
on the subject. Five years ago he op-
posed vigorously Mr.. Bryan's suggestion
that conditions might come when gov

their natural connections with the postal

ever, Postmaster General Burleson's re-
port comes out with a recommendation
Of this nature. 1t may be taken for
granted that President Wilson does not
oppose the plan.

KEITH'S.
"HiGh-CIass NaudeyIIIe.D

At Keith's Theater yesterday, before
two large audiences, a program of
"high-class" vaudeville was offered,
which did not differ noticeably in
standard from the polite brand with
whichN Washington has long been IA
nliliar at Chase's.
The brilliant novelties and world
famous productions at the command Of
the Keith interests are doubtless re-
served for the height of the season.
They have not been brought here. to
celebrate the opening.
1t is good, average bill. with many
items of interest. and the audiences
were well entertained throughout. Ed

fascinating simper. justly holds first
place. through the human appeal of
his attractive family of youngsters.
Willard Simms gripped and shook the
Iisibles of. the audience TO the point OF
exhaustion, in a smart bit of farce con-
eerned mainly with few rolls OF wall
paper and n bucket OF paste.
Britt Wood as boob won enthusiasm
for his command Of the Old-fashiOned
mOuth-Orsan.
The acrobatic end was well held up
by the Farrell Trio. some of whose fea:s
OF muscular powers were new and thrill
ling.
Melville and Higgins pleased in

GAYETY.
"rhe GRyety Girls"

The Gayety Girls" with Gus Fay, the
| inimitable German comedian. and Nell
lie Florede. a real song bird" opened
TO big audiences at the Gayety yester-
day. The show is a two-act burletta,
well staged and deliberately costumed
1t is quite up to the high standard set
by Manager Peck at his popular play
house this season.
The performance deals with the trials
and tribulations of a man, who to evade
his army Of creditors, disappears and is
reported 10 have died in a remote part
of the country. If such had been the
case there would have been no play. for
all of the fun in the plot hinges about
the meetings OF the supposed dead man
and his lamentinE creditors. Gus Fay,
as Rudolph Schmidt. the dead beat &"
keeps the audience in continual laughter
He is unable to stand the abuse the cred
itors are heaping on the absent Rudolph,
and comes near proving that he is very
much alive. In the end everything comes
out as it should. Rudolph inherits 4
fortune, pays his bills, and captures a
dashinG widow.
Gus Fay is well supported by Eugene
Jerge, Walter Wilson. and John Rock
well Walter Wilson. the detective. who
framed up the job on Rudolph, is espe.
ClalN SoOu, ana JOnn rockwell, as Ter
rece MCNab, is a typical Irishman.
The female portion OF the company is
very good. Nellie Florede makes a lead
ing lady decidedly above the average
seen in burlesque. while Edyth Hamil-
ton is an excellent soubrette. Miss
FlOrede has a beautiful singing voice. and
was forced to respond to several en-
cores.
The chorus is an unusually large and
attractive one and wears many gowns
that are fetching and appropriate The
old time tights have been replaced with
the latest styles in long skirts, and are
nearly as effective as the discarded
tights. The work OF the chorus is one
of the features of the show.
In addition to the regular burlesque
an exceptionally good Olio is presented.
Walter Wilson is responsible for the
song hit of the evening. and scores
heavily in international Rag" To the
regret OF the large audience yesterday he
did not offer enough to satisfy them.
Mr.. Wilson is the cleverest dancer seen
here this year, and deserves q better
opportunity in this performance.

Paul Florus, enormously billed as
