FREIGHT ENGINE DETAILED
 ON THE SHORE LINE.
Seven Coal Cars Also UPset-Hand
 Car Did the Damage.

Clinton. Conn, July 7.-Traf6c on the Shore Line branch of the New Haven railroad was blocked for a time by a collision between an eastbound freight train and a handcar near the Grove Beach station late today No one was injured. The engine of the freight was derailed and thrown on it's side, three coal cars and a boxcar were smashed and two other coal cars over turned The engineer and fireman stuck to their cab and craWled out un- hurt afterwards.
 The freight train was in charge Of Conductor Hyde and Engineer Wilson. The handcar belonged to a section gang at work near by.
 On the handcar were two steel rails. One of these rammed the locomotive in such manner that the engine was thrown several feet into the air before landing with its tender on its side in some marshy land on the south side of the tracks. The .roadbed was torn up and the rails bent and twisted. One car loaded with coal was thrown cross- wise of the tracks, effectually blocking traffic. The wrecker sent from New Haven had the westbound track cleared for traffic early in the evening, but it was believed that the task of repairing the eastbound line would consume the greater part of the night. Local trains transferred their passenge CTS around the obstruction. while the express trains were detoured over the Say brook Middletown branch

cARRAHzA FIRST CHIEF,
 VILLA SUBORDINATE.
Outcome of the Torrson conferenos-
 Villa Hopes Compact Will be Kept.

Torreon. Mexico, July T-GeneraI Venustiano Carranza has been recos- nized as first chief of the constitu- uonalist revolution and General Fran cisco Villa is subordinate to him This confirmation of the relative positions of Carranza and Villa was regarded as the most important step taken at the internal peace barley here intend ed to reunite the Villa and Carranza factions.
 In settling this point. the question of supplying the division of the north. which Villa commands. with coal and ammunition probably will find an au- tomatic solution While Villa owes Carranza absolute subordination. Car ranza on the other hand is obliged to meet the wants of the Vil1a troops The conference is ended so far as vital points are concerned The state ment was made today that the result of the meetings were satisfactory. General Villa said today:
 T hope that the outcome of this conference will be benficial to Mexico and that the patriotic motives will cause the compact to be kept"
 Villa had little to say on the elec- tions held last Sunday in the terri tory. controlled by Huerta except thai it was matter of secondary import ance or an attempt to wash out one stain with aaotAse.

FOR EARLY SETTLEMENT OF MEXICAN IMBROGLIO
With ylla-Cananza Difficulties Smoohed Out Delegates May Discuss Formation of Provisional Government in Mexico-Cananzas Representative Talked With Secre- tary Bryan-Mutiny Among Mexican Federal Troops Near American Outposts at Vera Cruz.

this conference, but MT. Dol -- made this statement:
 T have every reason to believe, after the troubles between Villa and Car ranza are settled, that delegates from the eonstitutionalists will be named to meet with Huerta delegates to discuss the formation of a provisional g2Yern- ment in Mexico. Though there are many reports to the contrary, there are many matters of great importance in vTolved which will have bearing on the situation and which are not to be overlooked"
 Mutiny Among Federal Troops.
 The mutiny which has broken out among Mexican federal soldiers near American outposts at Vera Cruz was subject of keen interest in American official quarters, and several messages on the subject were received from General Funston, who reported that fighting between the federals and mu- tineers was in progress.
 The Mexican federal commander previously had warned General Fun ston that the mutineers had threatened to attack the American lines, and with this information to guide him the American general ordered his forces to be on the defensive. but not to con slider any such irresponsible movement as an attack
 Wanted Permission to Direct Mutlny.
 An element of humor was injected into the situation when a report of the revolutionary junta at Vera Cruz asked General Funston for permission for himself and others to go out and direct the mutiny. Reporting his re- fusal of this request, the general said no incidents had been reported from the outposts. He added that trains had made sthe trips back and forth be- tween Temblade-Ras and Vera Cruz. Passengers estimated that the forces engaged in quelling the mutiny num- bered 1.500. but General Funston thought the number was exaggerated.
 Ohicials here see danger for General Huerta should the nutiny cut off his means for an exit from Mexico City. His early departure is assumed in off, cial circles but if the mutineers tri- umph in their present uprising it Is pointed out that Huerta and his fol. lowers could scarcely expect safe con- duct to the gulf coast through the en- enIyi s lines

Yachts Stayed
 Snug in Harbor
MANAGERS NOT KEEN FOR RACE
 IN GALE OF WIND
RACE TODAY LIKELY
Risk to Light Rissed Cup Defenders Too Great On Tuesday at Newport -To New London On Thursday.

Newport, R. l.. July 7-Thick weather this forenoon prevented the cup class yachts, Defiance, Resolute and vanitie from sailing their first trial race. which was to have been held by the Eastern Yacht club. If the weather is more propitious tomor row the yachts will go out, although the sea outside at sunset tonight was sufficient to keep all but the staunch- est coastwise craft in snug harbors.
 Defiance Felt the Full Force.
 One of the largest fleets of yachts seen in Newport harbor for several years rode out the storm without trouble, as the heft of the blow was from the southwest. The Resolute and Vanitie were at anchor in Bren- toms cove well under tho lee of Fort Adams when the storm broke last night, but the Defiance was at a mooring off the torpedo station and this forenoon was feeling the full force of the gale as it drove up Mar ragansett bay. The big mahonany boat rocked and tugged at her anchor chain so lively that this afternoon her tender took her in tow and gave her smoother water well inside the Reso- lute.
 The change was made with consider able difficulty for there was heavy
 sea running and, lines had to be passed to the tenders.
 Although the InlCk weather was Ol flcially the cause of the postponement of the days sport, none of the man. agers of the cup yachts were particu-
 larly keen for racing in gale of wind. Each knew that he was taking chances with yachts so lightly con- structed, rigged and spared and tc face dismasting and the chance of be- ing out of the trials for a week. waS too much of a proposition for any yacht owner. There was therefore a sigh of relief when at II o'clock il was announced that the race had gone over for day.
 Duncan Wants Nose Under Weather

Butler Duncan, chairman l of the Americas cup committee anC l practically in full control of the thret aspirants. said this morning that ht would like to see the yachts urdel 1 strenuous conditions, which were pre- yaflfng at that time.

Incidentally the cruise of the East | tern Yacht club was halted for da. | and the fleet will not visit Block Is l land as intended, but will make a fina run to New London on Thursday.
