MT. Danaher then declared that he was not playing to a packed gallery. He was there in the interest of the labor men who were seeking all the information they could get and it was a shame to keep them there wasting their time

STRIKE OF FIREMEN
 HAS BEEN INVERTED.
Railroads Agree to Arbitration Under
 the Erdnan Act.


 New York. Feb. 1s.-There will be no strike of f1remen on. the eastern railroads. The railroads yielded today and agreed to arbitrate under the Erd- man act heNcontroversy over wages and additional fremen with the Broth erhood of Locomotive Bremen and Ensinenen. The fremen had stood sondly for this method of arbitration ever, since the deadlock began; the railroads had held out for arbitration before a commission of six or seven men.
 Three men, acting under the law. will decide the fremen's claims, and their decision will be binding. The fremen have selected as their repre- sentative on the board of arbitrators Albert Phillips of Sacramento, Cal, vice president of their organization, and W. W. Atterbury, vice president and generaf- manager of the Pennsyl- vania lines east, is the choice of the railroads. Within a day or two these two men will select the third or neu- tra1 member. Within thirty days there after the arbftrators must render their findings. Where they will meet was not announced.
 Judge Martin A. Knapp of the Unit ed States commerce court and G. w. w. Hanger. acting federal commits sfoner of labor, conducted the negotia- tions which resulted in today's agree n1ent to arbitrate. Throughout the mediation proceedings the railroad managers bitterly oppsed arbitration under the Erdman act, on the ground it was unfair to place so much respon- sibflity on the shoulders of the odd man of the board. They vehemently iterated this protest in giving ground today, and declared as their reason foy> yielding their belief that the pub lie would not tolerate a strike.
 According 10 Albert Phillips, repre- sentative of the f1remen on the board, the e arbitrationZ proceedings will be held in this city They will be open to the public. MT. Phillips sald he and Mir Atterbury probably would meet for flaa first time TEurSdaY

OUR WARsHIPs TO STAY. May Have Moral Influence During Pe-
 riod of Reconstruction.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Tt is not ex- pected that the United States will be in haste to withdraw it's battleships and cruisers from Mexican waters. The problems of reconstruction which Mexico now must face will require no little time to inaugurate, and the pres ence of United States warshipS will serve as q reminder to all elem ents be protected. The 2,000 marines under orders tonight to sail for Guantanamo, Cuba, probably will proceed to their camp there. In the event that their services are not needed in Mexico they can participate to advantage in the nnanoeuvers of the Atlantic fleet now within only a few hours run from the Gulf of Mexico.
 Surprise was expressed at the Mex jean embassy here when Senor De La Cueva. charge d'affaires. and the mem bers of the staff were informed of Ma dero's overthrow, and 1t brought a feeling of relief in that the suspense which they had been undergoing dur ing the last ten days of revolutionary turmoil had been lifted.
 Having received little official infor- nation from Mexico City, the embassy had not been able, it was said, to fore cast the result of the revolution. The staff, however, appeared to be satis- fled that 8 settlement had been reach ed, even if it had resulted in a change of government.
 General HOerta was described by attaches of the embassy as a steEn soldier of the type of former PresideHt Diaz, man of great personal bravery and friend of the elder Diaz. On ac- count of his long service and bravery it was said, he was popular with the army and well known throughout the republic. Felix Diaz. leader of the revolution, and General Huerta also has been good friends before the Made TO conflict arrayed them in opposing camps.
 Since the first of the year, when Senor Calero left here, Mexico has been without an ambassador in Wash tngton, and affairs of the embassy have been handled by Senor De La Cuerva, the first secretary. When Se- nor Calero returned to Mexico City. where only a few weeks ago he made the startling declaration in the senate that during his stay in Washington he had lied about conditions in Mexico, there was much speculation as to who his successer would be.

Estimates of Wounded in Mexico City
 Range from 5000 to 10000.

Vera Cruz. Feb. 1s).-All the horrors of a bombardment have. been experi- enced by the residents of this city for many days, and to those that might be expected have been added the ef- fects of vicious machine gun and rife fire in the streets at a, range sometimes of less than 8 hundred yards.
 From a source usually considered careful and conservative it has been stated that the number of dead is not less than 2.900 while the total of the wounded amounts to from 5000 to 10000. The great majority of these are not soldiers, but men, women and chil- dren unable to escape the lines of fire. This estimate was made after hearing the reports of scores of officers of the White and Red Cross societies and of the hoSDitals
