T LIVERPOOL. Oct. 14.-That
4 the Volturno disaster was
- the result of Il deliberate
plot to destroy the vessel Is the
belief Of the owners OF the Uran-
ium line. II is broadly limited
that the plot was the outgrowth
Of the bitter fight which has
been raging between the Uran-
ium and rival lines.
Captain Tinsley, manager OF
the Uranium line, declares that
he has noticed Of late an increas-
ing bitterness among the sailors
and dock laborers toward the
company. which has been IN
volved in numerous disputes with
it's employees.
1t is the belief of Captain Tins
ley that the disputes were insti
gated by business rivals, taking
advantage of the fact that the
ships Of the line were officered
by Englishmen and manned by
Dutch and Belgian sailors. Many
threatening letters have been re-
ceived by the management. One
Of these received just before the
sailing of the Volturno read:
eff you don't listen to our de-
mands one of your boats will be
burned.
There was trouble among the
crew shortly before the vessel
sailed, but no attention was paid
to the letter. 1t is now believed
that a bomb placed In the hold,
possibly in the coal bunkers,
caused the explosion and fire
which destroyed the ship and
more than 100 lives.
The Uranium ships sail from
Dutch ports and have been
strong bidders for the Dutch and
German emigrant trade. So bit
ter has been the rivalry between
the competing lines that the Ger
man officials have been induced
to forbid German emigrants to
engage passage on the Uranium
ships.
The stories told by the passengers OF
the steamship Cermapia and other liners
which went TO the rescue OF the burning
Volturno describe the heroic efforts In
the face OF almost insuperable difficulties
to save the passengers and crew OF the
doomed chip.

Great Britain Concerned.

to the effect that tho British govern
ment is deeply concerned over its
recognition Of Huerta, and it is even
declared reliably that King George
and Queen Mary have taken a por-
sonal interest in the situation with
a view to measures that would sup
port the policy of the United States,
1t is reported that Great Britain is
prepared at the first opportunity to
repudiate the recognition and that
failure Of the Huerta administration
to hold a constitutional election on
October 26 probably would be held
as sufficient cause. In this connection
officials here recall the British gov
ernment e statement that the recogni-
tion of Huerta was provisional pend
