NAVY MEN ENTER PROTEST
Say Daniels Order Prohibiting Liquor
in Navy VIII Not Stop Drunken
ness-Call Rule Absurd.

Misunderstanding Daniels or
der barring the use Of alcoholic liquors
in the navy, effective after July l next,
was generally discussed in naval and
other circles here. The order, n Of
the most sweeping vel promulgated
by the navy department not only abol-
ishes the traditional wine mess" OF
the officers, but will bar all alcoholic
liquors from every ship and shore sta"
tion of the navy.
Surgeon : General BREASTED recon.
mended 1t after an exhaustive investi-
cation.
While declining to discuss for pub
location the effect Of the order, naval
officers privately expressed the belief
1t may fail of its purpose-to prevent
or decrease drunkenness within the
navy. In effect, the order does no
more than abolish the wine mess. No
distilled spirits are sold In the wine
mess-only wines and beer.
Officers contend 1t is absurd to sup
pose that men ever become d%runkards
on beer or champagne. They express
the opinion that the order will curtail
their personal liberty and present their
affording visitors from foreign navies
the wines which they + accustomed
to on their own vessels.

TO ATTACK SAN PEDRO NEXT
Big Battle Is Expected There Soon.
General Velasco Goes to SaltiIIo,
Is Report.

Torreon, Mexico.-San Pedro, 26
miles northeast Of here, it is said, in
all probability, will be the scene of
the next battle. D
San Pedro, a hill grit city whose nat
ural defenses must be approached over
a flat country, held a federal garrison
all the time the battle of Torreon was
being fought, but this force was pre-
vented by a rebel column from coming
to the assistance of Gen. Velasco.
Recently a comparatively small
force of rebels attempted to take the
town, having underestimated the
strength of the garrison, whose real
numbers we're developed by the attack.
Gen. Villa has been building up his
force in the last few days for a re-
newal of the assault. The defeat OF
the federals at San Pedro would, 1t is
said, remove the last federal force
from this district.
The whereabouts Of the troops driv-
en- from this city last week is not
known, although it is believed Velasco
is headed for Saltillo.
The Spanish colony ordered out Of
this city by Gen. villa was placed
aboard trains for Juarez. "

EMPEROR WAS At BEDSIDE
While Husband Was Emperor She,
Passed Through Most Troubled
Period in History of Japan.
Saw Nation World Power.

Tokyo, Japan.-The Dowager En-
press Haruko died at the imperial villa
at Namazu.
Following the usual custom in the
case of the death of a member of the
imperial family, the official announce
ment of the event will not be made
until the body has been transferred to,
the capital.
Her majesty passed away suddenly
in the presence of Emperor Yoshihito,-
the empress and the other members of
the royal family, who had been sum-
moned from the capital.
Her majesty had been suffering for
a considerable period from angina pee
toris, but the official diagnosis de-
clared that Bright's disease was the
direct cause of her death.
All the theaters have been closed
and it is considered probable that the
emperor's coronation, which had been
arranged for November 10, will be
postponed.
The ministerial crisis was cast into
the background by the death OF the
dowager empress, and the new cab
met has not yet been formed.
