HUERTA ENDEAv0R|NC
To DEVELOP POLICY
Refers to United States in His
Latest Message to Mexican
Congress
BY Associated Press

Mexico City, April I'm his mes
sage to Congress last night, President
Huerta said he refrained from extern
sive mention of International relations
although he commented with some
bitterness upon the discussions of the
various governments and the difficult
ties the Mexican government had en-
countered in obtaining money, owing
to the influence exercised by the
strange attitude of a certain power to-
wards Mexico"
The only direct reference to the
United States was in review of the
work done by the foreign office, when
he said:
Referring to the Department of
Foreign Relations, 1 must tell you
that the government of the Republic
has earnestly endeavored to develop
a just nationalistic policy, which, far
from injuring our International rela-
tions, has resulted in making them the
most cordial possible with the chief
powers of the world.
Some of the American States have
not yet recognized the constitutional
government ad interim of the Repub-
lie, but the greater number of them
keep in Mexico diplomatics represen-
tatiVes and no one of them has in
terrupted relations with the Republic
The United States has been so good
as to invite me, through His Excel
lency, President Wilson, to organize
in common accord the preparatory
work for the approaching peace con-
ference at The Hague"

NEW REGULATION
FOR MILITIA WORK
Adjutant Generals Department
Will Make Rifle Practice Con-
form to Regulars

New regulations for the small arms
practice of the National Guard, to
make it conform to the requirements
of the War Department, are an
nounced in a circular issued to-day
from National Guard headquarters
and radical changes are made in sew
oral features. The practice of the
militia is to be on a preparatory basis,
the regular army practice being the
ultimate aim.
The season for outdoor practice is
to run from May l to October 81, as
usual, but announcement Is made that
indoor or gallery practice will be in
order from November l to October FL
of the year following. Provision is
made for a course of preliminary in
struction before taking up gallery
practice. Men who qualify as first
class men in the instruction practice
will be advanced to the record practice
course. e
The figures of classification have
been changed. Hereafter 210 will
constitute experts; 100 sharpshooters
and 160 marksmen. Men making 150
will be in the first class and 1870 in the
second class. Medals will not be given
for any class below markSmen.
AS far as possible the practice is to
be under service conditions and sill
houette targets will be used instead of
the old fashioned bulps-eyes.

SEAMAN EVER READY
TO ASSIST MATES
Report to Navy Department Tell,
of Rescue Of Men on Collier
Jupiter
By Associated Press

Washington April 2.-Readiness of
officers and enlisted men of the navy
to risk their own lives at all times
to save their shipmates is strikingly
illustrated in a report to the Navy
Department from the commanding Of
ficer of the collier Jupiter which was
made public to-day
"On March 16 last" the report says,
ordinary seamen Curtis, Fritz and
Anding went down in No. 13 hold of
the Jupiter to coal the galley. About
five hundred tons of coal were stored
in this hold and subsequent develop
ments showed that poisonous gases
had collected. Fritz. finding himself
getting faint, started to go back up
the ladder, but fell unconscious. And
ing at once placed the hoisting line
around Fritz and Curtis went up for
help. Seaman Stanley then went be-
low to bring up Fritz. AS soon as
the latter had been removed Anding
himself dropped back unconscious.
Boatswain Mate Leitner then went
down to put the line around Anding,
but found that he had fallen so far
from the ladder that the line would
not reach. He then tried to drag
Anding but was himself overcome and
fell back into the hatch. Boatswain
I. w. Shaw arrived at this time, went
unconscious men to the latter but
found that he could not move them.
Chief Carpenter kempton and Ordi-
nary Seaman Ferguson then went into
the hold to render assistance, and Or
dinary Seaman Curtis went back into
the hold a second time. When the ex-
ecutiVe officer arrived he had line
thrown into the hold from the coal
boom and Boatswain Shaw placed this
around Anding and he was then
hauled out. He then started to bend
the line around Leitner, but was over
come before he could finish his task.
Kempton, Curtis and Ferguson fin
ished 1t land Leitner was hoisted out
The three men then started for the
ladder but Kempton and Curtis were
overcome and fell back. Ordinary
Seamen Sales and Simpon then went
to the rescue and all were hauled to
safety.

st. Johns. N. f., April g. The
steamer New Foundland came into
port to-day with story of disaster
to the sealing steamer Southern Cross,

The exact loss of life is not known
but 1t is believed that practically the
whole crew perished after the South

In the ice off Cape Race.
The New Foundland picked up fifty
of the crew, the greater number al
ready dead and others dying, from
the tossing of ice foes to which they
escaped when their craft went down.
Those who survived were able in
their weakened condition to tell but
little of the wreck and probable fate
of their fellows. Ships We're at once

The steamer also carried a crew

signed for her former trips. as the
sealing was reported to be unusually
