WAR CARGOES FOR

Arms and Ammunition from
yplranga and Bavaria

cause She canno, Show Her
Manifest

Washington. May 1.-THE state
Department learned this afternoon
that the cargo Of arms OF the Ham.
burg-Americaa steamship Yplranga.
TO prevent the landing OF which Rear
Admiral Fletcher seized Vera Cruz
more than a month ago. was landed
this morning al Puerto Mexico. 100
miles down the coast. From the
same official source Il is known that
the Hamburg-American steamship
Bavaria. with smaller shipment OF
arms. effected a landing at the same
port two o. three days ago. Both
shipments are billed to President
lluerta at Mexico City and, 80 far as
this Government is aware. will en-
counter no further obstacles on their
way TO the Federal capital.
Some days ago il was said that an
agreement not TO land the ammuni.
ton had been entered into between
the Hamburg-Amerlcan Company
and the Washington Government,
and the agreement was supposed TO
apply TO the Bavaria as well as to the
Yriranga. which sailed several weeks
earlier Yesterday. however tho
State Department received informa.
ton that Gen. Huerta might get all
the expected arms. in spite OF the
United States.
Long ago the State Department de-
cided that II the agreement with the
ship owners tailed to prevent the i'm
portation of arms for Gen. Huerta
no aggressive measures could be TAX
en- to prevent Il.
The military cargo OF the Ypiranga
is understood to have been 10000
Mauser rifles. 250 machine guns and
100000 rounds of ammunition. II
is not known here whether all OF this
was landed at Puerto Mexico or not,
though there is nothing to indicate
that the cargo has been lightened
since the Ypiranga first reached
Vera Cruz

LONDON "PEA SOUP"
mists and Fogs So Thick That They
Turn Day Into Nioht.

London and I.ondoners have been the
butt OF many a good joke. but perhaps
the Oldest subject of the bumorist is
the London fog. The mist. which is
commonly called pea soup dates
back TO the seventeenth century. There
are records as far back as that which
indicate that the city suffered even in
those days from msts as Intense as
any OF those of today.
In November. 1000. John Evelyn
made a note in his diary TO the effect
that there was $50 thick a mist and
fog that people lost their way in the
streets. il being so 'lntensc that no
light Of candle or torches yielded any
direction. Robberics are committed
between the very lights which are fix

both sides and while coaches and pas
sengers were passing. II began about

In Elizabeth's time the burning of

was in session. So dense were the
fogs during the years OF 1918 and 1914
that when the prince regent tried to

Lord Salisbury. he could not find his
way and was compelled to forego the

with the company officials and found
that they had already adopted the pol
