FORCED TO ABANDON
SHIP ON FIRE AT SEA
CONTINUED From Firs, .Page.)

most thrilling stories in all annals of
the sea.
The fire breaking out In the dead
OF night, followed by n series OF OK
blossoms from the cargo that wrecked
the steamer; the hurried call for help
and the failure of the wireless before
its mission could be completed and the
name OF the steamer or her location
given; the long hours spent in the
lifeboats with all the consequent suf-
fering and the uncertainty as to tho
fate of the major part of the crew
these broad outlines were all establish
ed by the Franconia's message.
The intimate details of the hurried
flight for safety, tho violent effects
OF the explosion and the personal In
cidents that must have arisen can only
be guessed At now.
From the description sent out by
the nc:litz yesterday, the Columbian
must have been pretty completely
wrecked by the explosions. Her fore
mast was gone and her funnel also had
been uprooted. 1t was undoubtedly
the loss of the foremost that disabled
the wireless apparatus. and this must
have followed very shortly on the out
break OF tho fire, for the wireless oper-
ator had barely time to send out his
cali for help before his message was
cut off. a few minutes more might
have been the salvation of all the crew,
for had tho ships name and position
been sent out into the ether. some
other vessel would have caught It and
hurried TO Its aid.
1t vas pointed out In this conncc-
ton tonight that when the Spanish
steamer Balmes caught fire off Ber-
muda last year, her wireless operator
lost his head and sent out frantic mes
saEes for help without telling tho
ships location greatly rctarding tho
work of rescue, for steamers which got
the calls for aid could not ut first
place the burning ships position.

Own Ends.
HE SENDS Ills ANSWER TO MAS
Says Desire TX to Provoke Foreign War
to Save Themselves From Disaster
From Civil Conflict.

Iorreon, Mex. May 5. (Via Eel Paso)
The answer of General Francisco
villa to request from Federal Gen
eral Mass, In command of the Saltillo
garrison, that Villa join the Fcdcrals
In avcnging the American occupation
of Vera Cruz was delivered to the Fed
eral messengers to-day.
General Villa refused absolutely to
ally himself or his men with the Fed
erals. and declared that the HIuertis
tas had provoked foreign Intervention
for their own ends.
General Masss letter to villa an
nounced that, in addition to occupy
Ing Vera Cruz the port of Salina Cruz
had been seized by the United States
forces on April %.
The Mas letter says in part:
Il have received instructions to no.
tify the revolutionary chiefs that
American Intervention In Mexico is an
! accomplished fact. The United States
OF tho North have committed II grave
offense against Mexico by disembark
ing troops In Vera Cruz. on April q,
! and by taking similar action At Salina
Cruz two days later. This action con-
stitutes the intention of war. and this
Is the supreme moment to call on the
patriotism OF all MeXicans to present
Il united front and forget our differ
ences i'm the intense love OF a country
of which we arc possessed We can
cr, who in the most unjust and igno-
blc manner has stepped upon the holy
soil OF our fathcrland.
I'VE, therefore, call upon our broth
crs to rally to the common cause for
| the defense of the national integrity.
You could not moro nobly yield your
profession than in tho cause OF all
! Mexico. that we can march together
on the invading Yankees"
General Villas Answer.
General Villas answer in part fol-
lows:
81 know that the cientifcos. by va
rious processes up to this time, have
sought to bring about North American
Intervention in Mexico. 1t is known
without doubt that the coming of tho
! -\;nericans was desired and provok III
by you. The manner i'll which you have
excited international troubles and then
called on all Mcxicans TO help fight the
external troubles Is clear TO all the
world.
General Huerta. you did not show
much wisdom when YOU were converted
into an instrument of the cientifcos
and brought about the assassination OF
President Madcro. Vice President Sau
req and. other liberal Democrats. he
cause you did not realize that the blood
of heroes who started tho democratic
movement in 1910 would cause Il civil
war that would lead TO your ruin.
Nov YOU desire to provoke n foreign
war to save yourselves from the dis
astcr forthcoming from the civil con
hict.
THE Constitutionalists desire TO do
all possible compatible with the ma
tion?l dignity to avoid n foreign war
but If we are not able TO avoid il. we
will face two enemies. the powerful
stranger and the deprnved compa-
triots."
