Reports were current that the Huer-

United States make some concessions
in the plan proposed by them for the
establishment of the new government.
It is argued from the Huerta stand

quently yielded the stipulation Of his
commissioners that he be permitted to
name secretary of foreign affairs
who would succeed him as president
and then name the provisional govern

east, ran into her and ripped hole
IL feet high and 80 feet long in her

The hole is flush with the main deck
and is Is feet above the water line.
So great was the force of the COLI.

torn from her bow and left hanging
inside the gap that had been torn in
the New York.
Practically all the passengers on
board both ships were asleep.
Immediately after the collision the
engines on both ships were ordered
full speed astern and passengers came
hurrying to the deck.
The passengers of the New York
were able to reach over and touch the
bow of the Pretoria as she pulled away
from the dangerous position. There
was no panic.
Captain Roberts and Chief Officer
Turner were both on the bridge at the
time of the collision. They assured
the frightened passengers, many O
whom hurried to the starboard side o
the ship, anticipating a list to port
that there was no danger. MEMBER
of the crew also went among the pas
sengers and urged them to be calm.
