INTO RESERVOIR
Depleted Bolster Tank Being illed from
the Stevens Branch a. Be-
tween South 80
Wilt

Water in y Z reservoir has
fallen to t. - pth of sixteen feet,
according t>S surements taken late
last night. ais morning Superinten-
dent H. L. Reynolds of the water de-
partment sent gang Of men to the
Smith stock farm on the Willamstown
road to put the city's auxiliary pump
in shape for service BY noon the en-
gine propelling the pump was steaming
furiously and the early afternoon saw
the big pump sending the water from
Williamstown branch into the empty
Bolster reservoir. The latter body will
be completely detached from the main
system as soon as it is filed and held
for emergency purposes. If the city be-
comes reduced to famine straits, the Boil
ster reservoir will be available for fire
protection purposes. Otherwise it will
be allowed to remain untapped.
When interviewed this morning Su-
perintendent Reynolds preferred to leave
most of the predictions to the alder
manic water committee and the city
council, but in expressing his personal
opinion, he said he failed to see how
water could be furnished the manufac-
turing plants after the present week ex-
pires, should the drouth continue. 1t
has been suggested that water from the
branch be supplied the manufacturers
should the worst happen, but there are
those who say that the branch water,
50 called, is unfit for use in the stone
sheds.

Advisable

Washington, d. G., Aug, 2s.-John
Lind early to-day was instructed to re-
turn from Vera Cruz to Mexico City, if
he deemed it advisable after President
Wilson had received message from
him described as very optimistic.
While administration officials are
silent as to the next move, the general
understanding was that way had ap-
peared to open further discussion of
disputed points, such as the elimination
of Huerta Senior Gamboa's supplement
tary note of August 26 was not Off
cially received here early to-day, but
upon summary being transmitted to
Secretary Bryan by Lind, the admins
tration officials declared the United
States would not yield on its demand
that Huerta should not be a candidate
for president of Mexico.
Gamboa calls attention to the clause
in the Mexican constitution prohibiting
provisional president from succeeding
himself. There is, however, in the view
of the administration officials here no
guarantee that Huerta does not intend
to resign in favor of General Trevino or
some other, so that he might become
candidate.

The Imperator, Docked at
Hoboken Pier, Was Bad
ly Damaged
/ LIFE SNUFFED OUT
IN FIGHTING FLAMES
Crew and 1,100 Passengers
Were Aboard When the
Fire Broke Out

New York, Aug 2s-T steamship
lmperator, the largest vessel ahoat, was
swept by fire early to-day as she lay
at her dock in Hoboken with her crew
and l,l00 passengers aboard One life
was lost in the fight to check the prog
ress of the flames. The dead are:
SECOND OFFICER G0BRECHT.
Second Officer Gobrecht lost his life
in leading the crew into the hold to
fight the flames, his escape being cut off,
and he being suffocated
There was small army Of people in
the steerage of the great vessel, the I'm
perator having arrived from Hamburg
last night. The steerage passengers
were aroused from sleep by the cracking
Of the flames and they rushed, panic
stricken, for the pier, where they spent
the remainder of the night huddled in
discomfort and surrounded by guards.
When the fire was checked, the ves-
sci listed fifteen degrees because of the
tons of water which were poured into
hr hold in fighting the flames.
1t is estimated that the damage to
the vessel itself will not be great, but
great quantities of supplies were spoiled
by the flames, smoke and water.
First reports had it that another life
was lost Seaman Otto Stump was car
ried out of the ship supposedly dead, but
he was revived on being taken out and
later was removed to a hospital.

WILL GET THAw.
Confidence Expressed by New York As
sistant Attorney General.

Sherbrooke, Que, Aug Assistant
Attorney General Franklin Kennedy, in
charge of the New York interest in the
Thaw proceedings, last night issued this
statement:
"Of the eventual deportation of Harry
Thaw there can be no doubt.
His effort to remain in Jail in Sher-
brooke cannot delay matters for more
than few days. 1t is only question
of the proper procedure. Steps are now
being taken which win bring Thaw with
in the hands of the immigration author
tiles in a short time, but we must pro-
ceed carefully, for Irregularities would
only result in numerous appeals to the
courts, which would require a long time
to straighten out.
"1f Thaw should be released on bail,
as has been suggested by some, he would
be taken into custody instantly by the
immigration authorities and not allowed
the chance of escaping the jurisdiction
of the Canadian authorities

AMERICANS WARNED
TO LEAVE MEXICO
At Same Time Mexico Was Notified 1t
Would Be Held Responsible for
Safety of American Citi-

Washington, d. c., Aug. 2S.-Presi-
dent Wilson last night warned all Amer
leans to leave Mexico at once. AT the
same time the American embassy and
all consular representatives throughout
the southern republic were instructed to
notify all officials, civil and military,
in Mexico that they would be held
strictly responsible for harm or injury
done to Americans or their property.
Secretary Bryan despatched long tele'
grams to the embassy and all consular
representatives quoting extracts from
the presidents address to Congress yes
terday in which he reviewed the futile
peace negotiations with the Huerta gov
ernment and the policy the United
States would pursue hereafter toward
Mexico.
In these messages the consuls were
instructed to render every aid possible
to departing Americans, furnishing trans
portation and any other pecuniary as
sistance to the needy. They were in
formed that sufficient number OF ships
would be provided to carry away those
in the seacoast towns.
Foreign governments will be notified
of the action of the United States so
that they may give similar advice bus
the American consuls will help all for
cigners in any emergency.
Within day or two an announcement
is expected of the mobilization of large
number of American troops along the
southern frontier to enforce neutrality
in the traffic of arms and munitions of
war. President Wilson was in touch
with Assistant Secretary Breckenridge OF
the war department last night but the
nature of his communication was not re-
vealed. 1t is believed that the president
not only is preparing to strengthen the
border patrol but desires the strictest
vigilance by troops already watching the
international border.
These developments followed closely
upon the reading by President Wilson of
his address to Congress in which he
outlined the policy of the United States
toward Mexico as one of absolute non
interference and strictest neutrality. The
president held out hope Tor resumption
of negotiations and ultimate success of
a policy of persuasion backed by the
moral force of the governments of the
world.
First results of the presidents optm-
Ism were dppdItilb iheb HiShby Nhen sec"
retary BRYAN announced the receipt of
a message from John Lind, now at Vera
Cruz, stating that Senior Gamboa, Mexi-
can minister of foreign affairs, had sent
new note. Secretary Bryan described
the situation as encouraging and com
mented on the fact that he had for sew
eral days used the word unchanged"
The secretary said that while the Lind
message contained only a summary of
the Gamboa note, sufficient had been re-
ceived to warrant taking an encouraging
view. Mr.. Bryan added that the Gam
boa note was in reply to the supple
mentary suggestions made by Mr.. Lind
before leaving Mexico City for Vera
Cruz. The president was informed of
the late Developments but offered no
comment.
