Pressure continues low over the middle
Atlantic and south Atlantic states, a
result of which rains We're general Satur-
day throughout the Atlantic states and
the Ohio and middle Mississippi valleys.
There were heavy rains in the Atlantic
states from Florida northward to south
ern New England. Another disturbance
| is developing over the western plateau.
but thus far it has been attended by
very little precipitation.
A general rise in temperature to con-
siderably above the normal is in progress
over the western plans states and the
Rocky mountain and plateau regions, while
unseaSonably cool weather continues over
the great central valley and the gulf
states.
There will be rain Sunday in the At
lantic states and the upper Ohio valley,
followed by cloudy weather but probably
without appreciate precipitation Monday.
In other parts of the country the weather
will be fair, except that rains are prob
able on the north Pacific coast and over
the western plateau region.

I'VE shall take only twenty-five dogs

excellent Greenland breed that l have

that I am not afraid of the supply not
being always in excess of the demand
am taking the dogs mainly with the pos
sibility in view that We may for some un-
foreseen reason be forced to abandon
our dear old Fran. in which case our
only way home would lie across the ice
fields and foes.
Il would then divide my party into
about four groups. each with sleds and
dogs. and. following Nansen's example,
we should each try to reach home in the
quickest and most direct way. The dogs
would then be our most important asset;
in fact. our only hope of getting out alive,
and with the crew split up into several
parties there would be a better chance
of killing enough game to keep alive than
if all kept together

Gives Other Details.

Writing in this article of other details
Of his coming expedition Capt. Amunsden
has the following to say:
1T is the polar basin that holds the
key to the Atlantic ocean. and without
it our knowledge must always remain
fragmentary. I think il is clear so that
he who runs may read. what great prac-
teal benefits may come to the toilers
of the world from that expedition which
we are about to undertake.
The meteorological observations will
constitute another important phase OF
our expedition. In this 1 am working IN
conjunction with Prof. Hergesell, Count
Zeppelin's partner. who is thoroughly in
sympathy with the project.
Il propose to take a wireless appara-
tus with me, and Prof Hergesell hopes,
through the generosity of some of his
German friends, to establish four or
more meteorological stations, to be placed
in such a way that they encompass the
polar basin. where | shall be closed in
one probably in Alaska. one in Siberia,
one in SpitZbergen and one in Labrador.
In Constant Communication.
IF this can be done, the Fran will
through her wireless apparatus, be in
constan communication with these sta
tions; we shall all make our observa-
| tions as TO wind and weather at the
same time. and in this way cover a much
larger area for a longer period and in a
much more exhaustive manner than
would otherwise have been possible.
What | have said of the polar currents
| in the water holds good of the currents
| in the air; they give the key TO the
weather conditions the world over.
The observations which we shall make
ought therefore. to be of tremendous
value to future weather prophets in fore
casting climatic changes.
There Will be much opportunity for his
majesty, the prince Of darkness, to find

Horn Might Prove impossible.

In the latter case the trip would take
four or five months at the best, and it
might be that the stormy waters near
the Horn would delay us indefinitely or
even prove impossible. 1t is one of the
most dangerous places known to naviga-
tors. and many vessels of the size of the
Fran have been forced to seek harbor on
the eastern coast of South America for
months at time. 1t has even happened
that they have been buffeted so long by
the constant westerly winds and the
heavy seas of the Pacific that they have
turned back and sought their destination
on the western side of South America
by skirting south of Africa and Australia,
and thus almost circLmnavlgating the
globe. This is the problem that is caus-
ing me the deepest concern at present.
and it is my dearest wish that the United
States government may have the Panama
canal sufficiently advanced by the fall
Of 1913 to allow smaller craft to pass
through to make test voyages. and
that the Fran may be permitted to pass
through among the earlier vessels. This
would mean SO infinitely much to me-
Evening star., 1913-04-13
Reasons for Using Canal.

Amundsen is not particularly seeking
an honor in his desire to have the Fran
pass through the Panama canal late this
summer or early this fall. The point of
whether the ship shall do so. by the
way has not been settled. as all de-
pends on how nearly the canal is finish
ed at the time the Fran is ready to go
through. The explorer is, however.
seeking such permission for highly
practical reasons, and he outlines them in
an article he has written for the Amer
ican-Scandinavian Review. He writes as
follows:
The Fran is now at Buenos Aires.
Before setting sail again she must be
thoroughly overhauled and cleaned, and
this operation will probably have to be
repeated in San Francisco, especially if
the vessel is to pass through southern
waters. where the barnacles accumulate
rapidly. I hope to leave San Francisco
in June, 1914, but this will depend some
what on whether it will be possible to
take the Fran through the Panama
canal, or whether it will be necessary to
make the long voyage around the Horn.

Long in Diplomatic Service.

Senator Carbajal is diplomat many
years in service. He was never a
national character until he became act
ing minister of foreign affairs in the
provisional government of President de
la Barra, after the resignation of Presi-
dent Diaz. Associated with Senor de la
Barra for many years in diplomatic
missions in South America and Central
America, his selection as under Secre-
tary of foreign affairs, when de la
Barra held the portfolio oc foreign af-
fairs, which enabled him to become act
ing minister upon the elevation of his
chief. was more or less a personal mat
ter and an act of friendly recognition.
His present appointment to London
Senior Carbajal owes to de la Barra.
The Madero administration. which felt
no friendship for Senior Carbajal. is said
to have had a desire to exile him by send
ing him to the st. Petersburg post, one
of small consequence in Mexican dip
lomacy.
AS minister to Nicaragua at the time
of the Zelaya troubles Senor Carbajal. as
the agent of the sentiment of President
Diaz of Mexico, showed courtestes to the
deposed executive that brought him under
some criticism of unfriendliness toward
Americans. This view was not taken by
American diplomats in Nicaragua and
elsewhere in Central America, nor by
officials of the State Department here.
His course was subject to no other con-
struction than that of carrying out the
instructions given him by his superiors.

BRITAIN APPROVES
ENVOY OF HUERTA
Announced by Mexico as Con-
structive Recognition of
Present Government.
EMBASSY,IN WASHINGTON
GIVEN OFFICIAL NOTICE
England's Attitude Interpreted as
Foreshadowing Favorable Action
by Other Nations.

Recognition Of Mexico appears TO have
been constructively accorded by Great
Britain: such is the comment in local
circles regarding Mexican Developments
Official advices from the foreign office
in Mexico City to the Mexican embassy
in Washington state that Bartoleme Car
baJal Y Rosas, designated as minister to
st. James by the present Huerta govern
ment, has been found acceptable to the
British government. Acceptance of a
diplomat designated by the nation to
which he is to be accredited is in itself
an act Of recognition OF the nation desig-
mating the envoy, it is pointed out, ac-
cording to international Interpretation.
The message from the Mexican foreign
Office announcing that Senor Carbajal is
acceptable to Great Britain IS said to
qualify the statement in no way
Senior Carbajal is not known to have
Gates for the London post. Nor is there
any advice to indicate that Miguel Co
varrubias. who exchanges missions with
Senor Carbajal, has left London for ST.
Petersburg. Should this prove to be true,
especially as regards the movements of
Senior Carbaial, 1t is admitted, there
may be some question whether his ac-
ceptability as minister to Great Britain
has been so definitely expressed as the
Mexican adviceS Indicate

Recognition by so important nation

great Importance to Mexico. That Great
Britain should have taken the initiative.
in advance of the United States, it is
further urged. might hasten the action
to the Huerta provisional government,
which stands in great need of such action
by the United States.
ton by the United States is, regarded
pacification Of Mexico. 1t is also said
to be operating against the placing Of
the big loan which the Huerta admin
istration has been trying to float in
the United States. The Huerta gov
ernment. in every way possible, it's
friends contend, is endeavoring to in
dicate its amity toward the United
States and its anxiety for reciprocity
in that sentiment President Huerta
has courted the personal friendship of
the American ambassador in Mexico
City, Henry Lane Wilson.
In view of the attitude of the Mexi-
can provisional government, expressed
in SO many. ways, suggestions that
President Huerta is anxious to MAIN
tain in London a mission that shall be
anti-American in personnel and SYM
pathies, his friends here maintain,
seem unjustified. That Senor Carbatal,
the minister r-designate to London. is
in any way an enemy of the United
States is believed by Americans resi-
dent in Mexico or by officials Of the
State Department in Washington.
