By telegraph to The Tribune.

Washington, July l6.-Formal an
nouncement to the United States
of the resignation of Huerta and the
succession of Carbaial as provisional
president was made through the State
Department by the Spanish AmbaSsa-
der who represents the Mexican
government in Washington. Develop
ments following Huerta's departure
are summed up as follows:
That the policy of "watchful wait
ing be continued,
That troops and ships remain in
Vera Cruz.
Bryan appealed to Carranza to
guard property and rights of foreign
ers at Mexico City and elsewhere, and
to deal lenicntly with leaders of OPP
position, but placed no alternative be-
fore Carranza in his message.
Bryan stated that the question of
recognition of Carranza as Provision
al President of Mexico had not formed
a part of the correspondence between
tnt Cldtt btpdi tIltni anu lNS uRtlIts
in Mexico.
The State Department has received
no assurance from Carranza that he
will give attention to the appeal
that he regard humanitics in his
future government.
Bryan stated that there has been
no consideration yet of resuming
diplomatic relations with Mexico City.
1t is expected by the State Depart
ment, though nor formally announced,
that foreign powers will take no steps
toward recognition of the new regime
at Mexico City until the United
States shall have acted.
ApprehensiOns have grown in adj
ministrative circles that Villa will
declare an independent Mexican Re-
public in the North and that fighting
will be renewed with increased bit
fterness.

about seventeen years of age, and
that he had been confined TO his

two weeks.
She said that his sickness was the
result of an injury he had received
while working with a threshing ma

operated few miles west Of this
city. He had become so cmaciated
from his confinement that large
patches of cuticle had been worn

London, July 10 Gcogc Carpcn-
tier is the white heavyweight cham
pion Of the world. This title not won
was simply handed to the son of
France, at the Olympia tonight after
be had been fcarfully punished hy
Gunhoat Smith,
Gunhoat had virtually knocked
Carpenter out in the last minute of
the sixth round. \ more sensational
climax could not be imagined.
Smith unqucstiunably committed
n terrific foul 10y hitting Carpenter
u glancing blow on the top of the
head after the latter had lccn
knocked to his knees 10y straight
right to the pit of the stomach.
But even So, under every rule Of
boxing, it was not Smith, but Car
rcnti,r who should have been dis
qualified as result of what hap
pCned Immediately after the foul
blow was landed. This is what
Happened:
Smith found the chance for which
hc had been waiting for, for five and
Il half rounds, and when the French
man rushed him with straight left
to the face, GunhOat Smith shot out
a straight right and caught che
Frcnchman squarcly in the pit Of
the stomach.
Carpenter did not fall down. He
seemed to simply shrink into a
mass ON the floor. Smith,
not realizing Carpo was actually
knocked out, instinctivcly tried to
land the finishing tl,w with right
over hand swing which missed the
FrcnChm'u's left ear and
grazcd the top OF his head.
Dcschamps, Carr enters trainer
scrambled through tie ropes and
rushed to Carpenter and carried him
to his corner. Jim Buckland and
other Smith trainers should have pro-
tested to Referee Corric, claiming
that Trainer Dcschamps actually dis
qualified Carpenter. Smith, in the
was standing in the mid
die of the ring waiting for the time
keeper to count.
But the count Of ten was never
made. Instead the referee made the
h., S,,,i,l Il 4
for fouling.
One of the greatest crowds that
ever witnessed fight in England
was in the Olympia arcana when the
fight started.
Scores of fashionably dressed women
mingled in the crowd Of sports,
members of Parliament, business men
and officers and tars from the United
States battlcship Missouri.
With the defeat Of Ritchie, and
other European triumphs in sports,
he fight took on the aspect of an
battle, arousing greater
interest than did the lightweight.
Frcnchmcn backed Carpenter as
heir favoritc. Only yesterday even
money prevailed, but with the great
bundles of French cash which were
,ffcrcd on Carpenter the odds shifted

Market for Apples and Prunes

The people Of Norway usually de-
pend on the Norwegian apple crop and
the Servian prune crop for the greater
part Of their winter fruit supply. Dur
ing the present season the apple crop
in Norway is very light. being practi-
cally failure; Servia, being at war,
will be unable to supply prunes.
These conditions furnish an oppor-
tunity for American exportefs Of
fruits to find large market this sea-
son In Norway for dried and green
apples and prunes. says Consul Gem
eral Michael j. Hendrick, Christiania.
While American fruits. both green and
dried. are largely sold in Norway,
none were heretofore imported direct
ly from the United States, wholesale
dealers in Hamburg. Germany, through
local agents, furnishing the supply.
