The navy department acted at the
request of Secretary Bryan. who ask

marines will be gathered from those

At Guantanamo the force will be

STRIKE THREATENS
WESTERN ROADS
ENGINEERS AND FIREMEN OF
NINETY-EleHT ROADS WEST OF
CHICAGO VOTE TO STRIKE.
Tie-up of Traffic Can Only Be Averted
by Reopenins Of Negotiations and
Concessions by Companies. Men
Refusing TO Arbitrate.

Chicago-0nly the hope that the
managers will yield to the demands
of $1,000 engineers and firemen stands
between ninety-eight roads west OF
Chicago and the greatest strike in the
history of American railways.
With the statement on tuesday that
the men had voted nearly unanimously
TO strike, union officials announced
that arbitration under the federal law
would be refused on the ground that
the railroads have not lived up to
previous arbitration awards.
The railroads, through their general
managers committee, contended that
to grant the employees demands.
would mean an increase OF 1900. 900
annually in wages. The engineers and
firemen asserted that their demands
were fair and equitable.
1t is expected that further confer
ences will be held. Should the nego-
tiations fail and the employees stand
by their announced refusal OF ar5itra-
tion, the resulting strike would, 1t is
declared, almost completely paralyze
traffic in the central west and west.
It was announced by w. S. Carter
for the employees that the vote or the
brotherhood OF Locomotive Enginee. 5
was 9727 per cent in favor of strike
and that the vote Of the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men was 99.2 per cent in favor OF a
strike.
A. w. Trenholm, general manager of
the Chicago. st. Paul. Minneapolis &
Omaha railway. chairman Of the con
ference committee OF the railway man
ayers. said that the next move in the
negotiations was up to the employees.
lie said the managers committee
would await formal statement of the
present requests of the employees and
official notification of the strike vote
He declined to discuss the announced
refusal OF the employees to accept pos.
sible federal arbitration and said that
no definite time had been set for an
other conference.

HUERTA PREPARING
TO LEAVE MEXICO
DICTATOR WILL TURN OVER Of
FlcE TO NEW MINISTER OF
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Huerta's Successor in Turn viii
Step Aside When the Time Comes
for Selection Of Provisional Pres
ident Acceptable to Rebels.

Vera Cruz-To save his country
from the horrors of civil war and his
capital from capture and perhaps
sack by a victorious army, General
Huerta intends to resign the pro
visionai presidency and leave Mexico.
This statement was made Sunday
by Roberto Esteva4Ruiz, Mexican sub
secretary of foreign affairs, who
reached Vera Cruz from Mexico City
on his way to Europe. Huerta, he
said, will surrender the government
to Francisco Carbajal, the new minis
ter of foreign affairs, who in turn will
step aside when the time comes for
some other provisional president
wholly acceptable to the constitu'
tionalists.
Just when the change will come,
EsteVa-Ruiz said he did not know,
THE president did not make me his
confident" he declared, nor did
have much time to talk with him
after it was determined that / should
leave the cabinet"
He was convinced, however, that
Huerta would lay down his power
during the week.

Five Thousand FederaIs Captured,
With Artillery and Ammunition,
Following Fierce Battle In Which

ed $4,000 federals commanded by Gen

sand federals we're captured, Obregon
said, along with all the artillery and
ammunition Of the enemy.
Those who escaped are being pur-
sued BY constitutionalist cavalry. Gen
eral Blanco was sent to cut OF all

Belfast.-The provisional govern
ment" formed by the Ulster Union
lists at its first meeting on Friday
gave Sir Edward Carson a free hand

necessary in calling the Ulster vol
unteers to arms. The men were de-
clared ready for mobilization at a mo
ment's notice.
Sir Edward in a speech declared
that the time had come for the loyal
lists Of Uluster to translate their words
into action. He said something must
be done to compel the British govern
ment to make up its mind. Ulster,
he concluded, was anxious for peace,
but was not going to accept peace with
surrender.
The official report of the meet.
ing of the provisional government
announces that the executive has been
instructed to act in accordance with
the spirit of declaration asserting
that the provisional governnaent's
well grounded want of confidence in
the bonafides of the imperial govern
ment compels it to press on with the
completion Of arrangements to resist
by every means in its power every
attempt to impose the authority of a
home rule parliament on Ulster"
A resolution also was adopted ex-
pressing willingness to consider any
proposal on the home rule question
which recognizes the loyalty Of the
Ulster men to the crown and consti
tuition and preserves their inalienable
rights under the imperial parliament. !"
