CONVENTIONS ULTIMATUM TO
 CARRANzA HAS EXPIRED
No Definite Adviees of Situation Rel
 ceived at Washington

Washington, Nov. 1O.-The ultima tum of the Mexican convention at Aguscalientes ordering General Car ranza to deliver the executive power ln Mexico to Eulalio Gutierrez expfr- ed at o'clock tonight
 Neither the state department nor the Mexican embassy here in charge of CarranZa agents, had any definite ad- vices as to what had occurred. Early In the day Rafael Zubaran Capmany, Washington representative of Carran- ga, received a telegram from Luis Cabrera, who was at Cordoba with that the latter had decided to recog- nize the acts. of the convention with certain reservations.
 Carranza- according to Mir. Cabrera. eold the commission which came to mo- dfy hi1l of the selection of Gutierrez by the convention that he was willing to yield the executive power to a pro- visional president who would exercise no theoredcaL but actual, control of the division of the north, now com manded by General Villa The conven- t1on had formally notified Carranza that it intended to administer the, oath or office to Gutierrez as provis- lonal president tonight and that any one who did not recognize him would be considered as in revolution against the constituted government in Mexico. IT necessary, hostilities will begin at once against Carranza's forces to en- force the convention's will
 There was a feeling in administra- ton circles that Carranza eventually would yield to the wishes of the con vention, being unwilling to plunge Mexico into another revolution.

BELIEVES TURKEY IS
 RUSHING TO RUIN Albanian Minister of War Sees Nc Hope for Ottoman Empire.

Rome, Nov. 10.3fram Bey, head of the staff of EssadN Pasha, the Albanian minister of war, who is here to nego- tiate for the lending of assistance. by Italy to Albania, said today concern ing the situation created by Turkey entering into the war:
 Turkey is finished. As a Mussul- man am sorry, but in reality I know the Caucasus and am convinced that Turkey cannot oppose serious resist. ance to the Russians. At Erzerun, Turkey claims she has 100000 men to resist the Russians, but her forces there are far below that number, while Trebizond is even in a worse condi- ton.
 'eEssad Pasha also thinks that a fight under these conditions is folly and that Turkey should have remained neutral, asking in return some com pensation from the triple entente. Nov she rushes toward ruin. When the Mussulmans know that the power of the caliph has been sacrificed to Ger man interests and few politicians summary punishment will follow, but 1t win be too late"

FOURTEEN STATES NOW
 UNDER FEDERAL QUARANTINE
Kentucky Now on List of States Un- der Ban for Foot and Mouth Dis ease.

Washington, Nov. 1O.-Fburteen states are now under federal quar- antine because of the foot and mouth disease. Kentucky was added to, the list today, reports of infection in that state coming with news of further spread of the epidemic in Indiana, hio and Michigan
 Extension of the infected districts in the middle west surprised and somewhat discouraged officials of the department of agriculture, who had expressed the belief that the epidemic had been brought under control in that section. Nevertheless. the hope was confidently reiterated today that there would be little more spreading. The only state under suspicion now is Mississippi, where & strange malady in herd of cattle at Como is being investigated,
 Department officials said today they had been unable to account for the peculiar viTulency of the disease in the present outbreak, the most serious in the country's history. Another thing that is puzzlfng the experts is the fact that a larger proportion of swine have been affected than in previous epidemics. It was explained at the department that while Dr. Simon F1ex- ner of the Rockefeller Institute was expected to go into the infected regions to study the disease, he would act in private capacity and not in connec- tion with the government forces.
