July 15-American war ships continue to stand guard over American interests in Mexican gulf ana Pacific ports The battleship south Carolina swings at anchor in the Harbor of Tampico and the battle ships Minnesota and New Hampshire are at Vera Cruz The batt1eships Michigan and Louisiana arrived yes- terday at Vera Cruz to relieve the Minnesota which will return north. These vessels will remain. on duty con stan1ly in the two gulf ports while the fourth will serve as a relief, giving officers and men of the several ves- sels opportunity for shore leave at Galveston, Tex
 Already one of the great European powers through it's diplomatic repre- sentatives here has called the atten- ton of Secretary Bryan to the chaotic in Mexico and the effect up- on the welfare and safety of it's citi- gems there. with a polite inquiry as to what the United States proposes to do about it
 Whether the inquiry was part of concerted movement on the part of European powers to bring the state department to a declara ton of it's pur- pose toward. Mexico did not develop today Reports from the City of Mex leo, however, would appear to warrant that conclusion. Until very recently President Wilson has attached little importance to rumors Of outside in d1uence being brought to bear to cause the United States to recognize Huer ta regime.
 It is beginning to be apparent now that there must be very soon some official declaration on the subject to reassure the European powers on the protection of their citizens and sub- 5ects against pecuniary loss by the continuance of present conditions. Failing such a declaration, some of ncia1s fear that European powers may feel themselves free to take steps to restore peace.

The shades of night were falling fast in Westport last evening and the town constable was polishing his tin star so he could scare those tramr= who have been sleeping on the roof of the lookup. At Rosegardens, the country estate of Jack Rose, the not ed New York gamblers, all was quiet.
 The host had been entertaining a party of New York gunmen for a few days but the celebrities had retired to the Ostermoor taking their heavy ar tillery with them Among the guests were Benny the Boob, Mike the Bite and Tough Guy Levi. When they walk along Second avenue in New York the cops apologize for blocking the side walk.
 But when they struck westport they n@eer bothered to look at the natives "TIl bump desc Rubes on the bean,'' was Benny's remark as he saw some of the inhabitants gazing inquiringly at his black and green striped shirt and coat of many colors.
 So the merry house party went to sleep, secure in the belief that no tim i'd Westporter would dare modest tn terrible gunmen from the Tenderloip. But sometime during the night a recK- less person made his way to the rear of the Rose estate and there went south with 50 chickens, the pick of the Rose livestock And while this barefaeed robbery was going on the snores of Tough Guy Levi and Mike the Bite could be heard many nileG away.
