MYSTERY OF SEA FIRE
HAS NOT BEEN CLEARED
No Confirmation of Reported
Rescue of 1877 Passengers
From Rio Grande.

NORFOLK, Va, December S-Mystery
surrounding the reported rescue of 1877
passengers from the Mallory liner Rio
Grande during a fire at sea north of the
Diamond shoals early yesterday remain
ed unsolved today. and though the wire
less of the south Atlantic coast was
obtained to clear up several conflicting
reports.
Although wireless from Virginia
ported Capt. Dodge of the British steam
er Swanmore having made the rescue, the
Swanmore is at her wharf at Baltimore
Suwanee Has No News.
The captain OF the Merchants and
Miners liner Suwanee, which was in the
vicinity, was spoken late last night by
the Charleston. S. c., wireless and knew
nothing of the affair.
Agents of the Mallory line say the Rio
GRANGE vas not licensed TO carry passen-
gers, and therefore the passengers could
not have been taken from that ship.
Fire Under Control.
The following wireless report was re-
ceived here early this afternoon:
Steamer Swanmore at II "a am. today
reports steamer Rio Grande proceeding
south under her own steam. Fire prac-
tically out. Does not need assistance"
1t now appears quite certain that the
steamer Swanmore is the steamer Quern-
more, which passed out of Cape Henry
Saturday, and which has been mistaken
over wireless and reported Swanmore
The Quernmore is fitted with wireless.

DENIAL FROM PRESIDENT
United States Not to Establish
Protectorate Over Any
Country, Says Wilson.

President Wilson told callers today that
the United States did not wish to estab-
lish a protectorate over any country OF
Central America or over any part OF the
globe.
Published reports that the United States
contemplated a new and far-reachinS
policy with respect TO Central America,
especially Nicaragua, brought prompt
denial from the White House. The Presi-
dent yentured the suggestion that the re-
mort might have had its origin in the
proposed treaty with Nicaragua, outlined
seyeral months ago. but he pointed out
that i'm the treaty the terms of the Platt
.1nepdment to establish jurisdiction such
as this government maintains over Cuba
