Five Survivors of Colum- bian, Picked Up By Re venue Cutter, Had Given Up Battle and Were Waiting for Death
IN OPEN BOAT
 THROWN OVERBOARD
Small Supply of Biscuits and Water Exhausted When Rescue Was Made. Death Roll of the Lost Freighter Is 15
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1


 HALIFAN, N. &, May 17-After thirteen days of terrific suffering in an open boat adritt at sea, five sur vivors of the lost freight steamer Columbian were picked up in the North Atlantic by the United States revenue cutter Seneca. Eleven oth- CTS of the boats crew who left the Columbian when she burned just south of Sable Island May 3, sue cumbed to injuries and privations Their bodies were thrown overboard The death roll of the lost freighter now numbers fifteen. Twenty other members of the crew were picked up after two days exposure The survivors found by the Seneca lived on a few biscuits and cask of water which long since had been exhausted.
 Hope for this missing boat was abandoned after five days search within a radius of the spot where the Columbian burst into flames. For the last few days the survivors were unable to guide their craft. They sunk Imply to the bottom of the boat and awaited the end
 The men matched from death by the Seneca today were the first of ficer whose name was not given in the radio dispatch from that vessel, Seamen Robert Tiez, oscar Kendall and Peter Bellanger, and Bremen Michael Ludwigsen. The Seneca re- ported she expected to reach Hali fax tomorrow morning.
 Hope for the third boat was aban- doned after a dozen transatlantic liners searched five days within wide radius of the spot where the Columbian burned. To sea -faring men it seemed impossible a small boat could pass through the series of gales that have swept those wat CTS. The news that the Seneca had picked up the survivors was received almost with incredulity here
 Although the surviving victims are too weak from their suffering to tell the story completely, the revenue cutters officers gathered that some of sixteen who hastily piled into a third boat had been so seriously burned that they died within the first few days. It was decided to tighten the boat by casting the bod ies overheard. Some who tumbled from their hunks at the first ex- plosion, rushed on deck half clothed and succumbed to cold. Others, weakened by hunger and thirst, grad uallv sank into lethargy.
 The survivors managed to keep the boat head on to seas when the weather became rough, but for the past few days little or no effort could be made to guide the craft.
 When the lookout of the Seneca sighted the small boat through his glasses not d sign of life was seen. The Seneca put on all speed racing to the lifeboat and sent her gig alongside. The emaciated survivors were quickly transferred to the cut ter and brandy was forced between their parched lips
 As all the men were in apparent need of hospitai attention, the Sen eca pushed under forced draught to Halifax, the nearest port.

Huerta's Peace Delegates Are Confident of Success of Their Mission Which Will Be to Bring Har- mony Throughout
WONDERING WHAT IS TO FOLLOW
Reports of Further Defeats of Federals, the Taking of Topic and Saltillo Skirmish Are Received In Washington
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPATcHl

WASHINGTN, May r.. Huerta's peace delegates are confident of the success of their mission, which it is learned. is the broad question of pacifying all Mexicans. The three envovs it is believed, realize that the present administration is crumb- ling and the choice of some one to
 succeed Huerta is inevitable.
 The delegates are said to be most
 interested in what may follow. What guarantees there will be against pos sjble confiscation of property by the invading constitutionalists and what government will obtain recognition Ii is expected the Huerta delegates will probably insist that no man who has gained military prominence, or who has obtained power by "by ar
 bitrar,. force" as set forth in VII sons Latin American declaration, be 1 permitted to take the reins Of gov ernment. This would eliminate Villa and CarranZa, but there are others ot the constitutionalists of the type of Luis Cabrera, a close friend anu counsellor of Carranza, who have
 won the confidence of the Washing
 ten administration.
