the airship exploded when at q height OF
5000 feet, twenty-seven persons being killed
and the sole survivor fatally injured. Among
the dead are the Admiralty Commission, who
were inspecting the airship before its accept
ance for the navy, and also an army officer,
q personal friend Of the Kaiser, who was

Count Zeppelin has collapsed, his health and
even his life being endangered by the dlsas-
ter to the craft in which ne planned to cross
the ocean 10 San Francisco. There is no ex-
PLANTATION of the cause, but it was perhaps due

from friction igniting the benzine tank.
The six inmates of the centre gondola were

Advices from Mexico City state that Pre-
sident Huerta has M a meeting OF
the Diplomatic Corps for a statement upon
the situation, His intentions are unknown,
although there is a rumOur of a compromise
with his opponents for the pacihcation OF the
the nation. I! is also said that al factions
would accept arbitration, upon the suggest
ion of the European member of the Diplo-
nnatic Corps.

of President Huerta, and also that she OBJ

London, Oct. goth Mr.. Churchill, dur
ing n speech at Manchester, confessed that
some of the best Liberals were anxious re-
garding armament expenditures, now at
their maximum and to be enlarged next
year. He declared that the sole escape was
an international agreement, and formally,

will start four great ships aud Germany two,
and he added "now, in all sincerity and
friendship to our great neighbour we say,
if you will postpone construction for one
year, we will do the same, thus Germany
would save six million pounds and
England twelve million, without alter
ing their comparative strength, but this
would be contingent upon the success of
negotiations with other Powers to do like
