Mystery Surrounds the Overturned
Steamer Near Port Huron.

Port Huron, Mich, Nov. 14.-F'or
the first time, since Sunday. day has
passed without revealing more lives
lost in the storm which overwhelmed
the Great Lakes, the early part of the
week. Only one additional boat dis
aster developed, today, and that was
the wrecking of the steamer Major,
off White Fish Point in Lake Supe-
rior. She was abandoned by her
crew, last night, after a futile effort
had been made to weather the sec
ond storm of the week. The crew was
picked up by a passing steamer. To-
night the life loss among sailors is
estimated approximately at 256 and
the property loss is figured at more
than $5.000,0 00 The property loss in
cludes the score or more of vessels
driven on the rocks, or shore, and par
tally or totally destroyed. One mum
bred and ninety-fiye lives were taken
on Lake Huron if the approximate fig
ures are correct 4S lives We're lost
in Lake Superior, seven, on Lake
Michigan: six, on Lake Erie.
One of the strangest features of the
general disaster is the mystery sur
rounding the identity of the overturn-
ed. vessel in Lake Huron, just few
miles northeast of here. A diver went
out again, today, hoping to learn the
name of the boat, but high seas
again prevented his work. Practical
ly every one acquainted with the Sit
uation believes the vessel is either the
Price or the Regina.

statement he has yet uttered with
reference to Huerta the United States

head.
We will accept no transactions, "
ne said nor the Interference of any
nation to regulate Mexico's intreior
conditions
After the conference, which eontin-
ued for two hours. th:; afternoon,
Carranza was non-commital. Mr.. Hale
remained silent but it was evident
that the parleys, begun Wednesday,
We're not finished. CarranZa's state
ment, however. referred to The nego-
tiations with Washington and also to
the suggestion from the capital that
further bloodshed might be avoided
and peace and order restored if the
eontending factions could get togeth-
er through the American agents, Hale
and Lind and agree on a Provisional
President, acceptable to all parties
who would serve until a Chief Execu-
tive had been chose at q full and free
election.

which we are trying to obtain from
the United States is the free impor-
