 Facts.

 This was the impression made by MT. Haight yesterday when he placed on the stand James 0olway. a quar- termaster of the Empress, who testi- fled that the ships steering gear was defective. Golway had told him. he said, that he was about to be sent to England.
 Percy Eillhouse of the Fairfield shipbuilding yard of Glasgow. where the Empress was constructed. testi- fled that the bulkheads extended all through the ship of the upper deck and with even the two large compart- ments in the middle of the ship filled she would have .floated. Water must have got in somewhere else.
 Captain Staunton, life-saving super intendent of the Canadian Pacific rail- way. said that the Empress lifeboats belts and other equipment had been tested at Quebec May g and found tc be in perfect condition.
 Lord Mersey said that he had heard it suggested that bodies were found with belts on but with the heads un. der water. Captain Staunton replied that the belts would keep the heads above the water if put on correctly He could not say If the passengers had been instructed how to put belts on. There were clear instructions on each belt, however.
 Lord Mersey remarked that he did not believe passengers ever read them

VILLA TU BOSS.
All Rebel Territory Recognizes He Is
 Commander.

Torreon, Mexico, July 19.--Having impressed upon his political enemies the fact that he is supreme in rebel territory, General Rancho Villa today devoted his attention to the final Huerta.
 "On to'Mexico City, has become the slogan of the rebel army, and tonight the combined armies of the north are moving along the Mexican Central railway. 35.O00 strong. to drive the federals from their garrisoned cities. lying between Torreon and the natiOn- al capital.
 Failure of the A B c mediators to reach an agreement will not affect Villa plans, it was announced here to- day. The rebel leader has for days felt that mediation would be failure and he has planned to carry out his campaign without considering the quarrel between Huerta and the United States. So long as the Arheri- cans keep off strictly rebel territory. Villa let it be known today the consti- tutionalists will raise no objections to an invasion of Huerta's territory. VlId JOudy TclIcGdJcu LIB oNdlCnCuL that the rebels have no quarrel with the United States, but that on the oth- CT hand, they regard the Americans as friends and are willing to have them assist in the elimination of Huerta.
 Carranxa's Title Empty.
 There now is 8 perfect understand ing between Villa and Carranza. 1t is stated here tonight. Carranza knows that he has no authority and will not try to exercise any. He has been permitted by Villa to retain the title of first chief, but he and all the rebels know 1t is an empty title and that Villa must be considered on all important questions. both military and civil.
 Preparations are being made by several hundred Spaniards who were driven from the Torreon district by Villa to return to their homes and ranches. Villa has not lifted the han against banished priests. Priests who have been sent out of the country must remain. None of the cotton seized from the Spaniards, nor any of the merchandise nor money taken from they will be returned. Villa has made no provision for reimbursement of the Spaniards and has let it be known that he does not intend to do SO.

change before the Cornell race. and in
this change the three stern men of the
seconds" were placed in the correspond
ing places in the varsity boat Charley
Lund displaced Chanler at stroke, Cur

Soucy, who has been rowing at No. z

and Schall was placed at No. 5. while
Harwood went to No. 4.
The two crews held their usual long
rows, going down to the West Boston
bridge and back again, a distance OF
about nine miles.
The Harvard management received no.
tice from the Yale authorities to the
effect that they would like to keep their
second crew together to help develop
their varsity crew until within week
Of the big race and at that time to ar
range a race between these second crews.
This will mean that there will be an
added race. After this race the two
eights will be divided into four oars,

Special Cable TO The Washington Herald.
Sandwich Island, May 1S-Hopes OF the
Americans were raised again when Fran
els Ouimet came home a winner by up
and to play over T. A, MacGregor. The
young American open champion had an
easy time. and was not compelled to ex-
tend himself
Huge crowds followed -Ouinet. who,
knowing Travers' fate, played sturdily
ana grimly, and the result was never
in doubt Ouimet played the greens mag
nificently. His puts were perfectly
judged. and his judgment and accuracy
were loudly applaude6 by the gallery.
At the turn the youthful American
champion was four up. He secured the
tenth, eleventh, and twelfth holes con-
secutively. ouimet won the match up
and to play.
Jerome D. Travers, amateur champion
of the United States. was put out Of the
tournament for the British golf cham
pionship today in the first round. He
was defeated by Charles A. Palmer, of
Ireland, up.
Trayers was the American picked by
all the experts as the one most likely
to furnish trouble to the British players
Big wagers had been laid by Americans
that he would win the championship. and
his defeat so early came as an over
whelming surprise.
Palmer L. Careful.
Palmer is regarded as a careful, clever
golfer but il had not been expected that
he would be able to beat Trayers.

Monday once or twice and he has never
been able to come through with a victory
until yesterday.
For the third game of the series here
this afternoon between the Nationals
and the Cleveland Maps Jim Shaw will
probably be on the firing line for the
home team, while Ii would not be at
all surprising II Willie Mitchell started
for the visitors.
Howard Shanks not only scored the
first run here yesterday. but also
breezed over with the deciding tally.
Shanks is putting up a great game
these days, both in the field and at bat.
Those first runs scored by the Griffmen
in yesterdays game would not have
counted had a man with a dead-sure arm
been playing left field. Roy Wood had
two chances to cut on runs, and both of
his pegs went wide Of the mark When
the next inning started Joe Birmingham
had derricked him and substituted Jack
Graney. who has been on the injured
list, and who reached the Capital from
Cleveland yesterday morning. Cleveland
baseball writers claim that Graney could
have caught the ball Morgan hit.
Ray Morgan is picking up in his hitting
and it was due to this fact that the Ma
ticnals were able to count in such a
hurry in the second round. Shanks was
on and Morgan slipped him the hit and
run sign. Rays double was a daisy near
the left field fence. His other bingIe came
in the next round and Gandil was thrown
out at the plate by Memo Liebold Accord
ing to one of the Cleveland scribes this
was the first time Liebold has accom-
plished the feat this season.
The Nationals cut loose and handed
Rip Hagerman a pounding in the sec
ond frame. This youngster, who was
formerly with the Boston Americans,
came to the Capital with a record of
a great game pitched in PHILADELPHIA
against Eddie Plank. and his showing
was distinct disappointment to Man
ager Birmingham, who had counted on
a victory.
AS yet Joe Jackson has failed to
show the Washington fans that he is
such a great slugger. In the two
games which have been played he has
failed to make a base hit. Yesterday
the most he contributed was a sacrifice
fly. Moeller took the hoist in deep
right field.
