NEW MEXICAN CHIEF
GENERAL GONZALES MAKES HIS
FORMAL BOW AS LEADER.
Has Established Headquarters at

Washington, Dec. 1.-Gen. Pablo
Gonzales, one of the three leading d.
vision generals Of the constitutional
list army of Mexico before 1t was d.
vided by fractional strife, has declared
himself provisional president of Mex
leo, named a cabinet and announced
that his platform is THE Constitu-
ton and Reform" according to adj
vices that reached Washington from
government agents at Queretaro. This
makes at least three claimants to
Diaz' power.
The action of Gonzales breaks the
constitutional ranks up into an.
other faction. Gonzales believes he
has as good chance as Carranza or
Gutierrez.
He has established himself with
10000 men at Pachuca, which is about
fifty miles east of Tula, and seventy
five miles northeast of Mexico City.
Villa has his present base and head.
quarters at Tula, which is fifty miles
north of Mexico City on the Mexican
Central railway Carranza has his
headquarters at Vera Cruz.
Villa is not himself understood to
be DESTROYS of taking the provisional
presidency, but he is recognized as
the master of those forces which have
controlled the Aguascalientes con-
vention and as the master of General
Gutierrez. who is the conventions
choice for provisional president
An assault on Vera Cruz this week
by General Villa and his army of the
North is forecast in reports received
here from George G. Carothers, con-
fidential representative of this gov.

Japan,s Pine Islands.

Matsushima is regarded as one OF
the sankei, or three most beautiful
places in Japan. And it we'll deserves
this reputation; for there are indeed
few fairer natural scenes on earth. It
reminds the traveller of the Thousand
isles of Canada and the English lakes
all in one. Here innumerable pine
clad islands lift their fronded faces
through the purple haze over a sea Of
silver-green; and when the sun sets,
throwing the myriad islands into a
golden glow, the mind is charmed to
ecstasy.
Many visitors to Matsushima make
the mistake of going by boat from
Shiogama, taking but a coast view of
the islands, and thus get only vague
and unsatisfying impression of the
beauty. This is to visit fairyland with
out seeing the abode of the fairies.
1t must be remembered that Matsushi-
ma bay is more than six miles long
and five wide, and that to visit all the
hundreds Of islands that adorn the
surface of the sea in this place would
take years. Yet one may see the best
part of Matsushima in two or three
days If one knows how-Japan Maya

For the sleepIess.

To overcome sleeplessness one should
perform, intense mental work during
the first part Of the day. The eve"
nings should be devoted to a uniform
occupation in a uniform environment
and one should be careful to take a
sufficient amount of muscular exer-
else. If the lungs are cramped by
improper posture they fail to get the
proper amount of oxygen and do not
throw off the waste and poisonous mat
tiers they should. A warm bath VIII
often draw the blood to the surface OF
the body and thus bring about sleep.
Those who persist in going over ID
their minds the affairs Of the Day
should sip a cup of warm water slowly
or a glass OF warm milk.

ASKS FOR BIG sum
MAR APPROPRIATION BILL Ex-
cEEDs THAT OF 1914 BY
THREE MILLION.
NAVY is IN NEED OF MEN
Blue Says 1900 Additional Tars
Should Be EnroIIed-President Is
Opposed to Inquiry Into Efficiency
Of Nations Armament.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The naval ap-
preparation bill to be submitted to
congress next week calls for 1900 adj
ditional men and 24O additional off,
GERS to fully equip all American war
ships of actual military value. The
total estimates of the navy exceed last
years total by about one million dol
lars.
The war department asks for an
increase of $3,105,300 over the total
carried by the army bill for the cur
rent year. Its total of appropriations
to be asked of congress is $104, 1884, 12.
Representative Gardner of Massa-
chusetts is to meet the president at
the White House and ask opportunity
TO advocate his resolution for an in
Quiry into the efficiency of the ma
tons armament, but the president
holds to the view that such an inquiry
not only is unnecessary but that it
might injure the chances for this ma
ton to bring about peace in Europe.
The need of additional officers and
men was explained during the day to
the house naval affairs committee by
Rear Admiral Blue, chief of the navi-
cation bureau.
Rear Admiral Stanford, chief of the
bureau of yards and docks, urged the
necessity of appropriations for addi-
tional fuel oil storage. All the ships
of the navy now under construction
are to use fuel OIL and it is estimated
that this year 10000, 900 gallons will be
used
Although the army estimates total
larger, reductions are made in the al
lowances for many branches of the
service. A new item of $150,000 for
purchase of automatic machine rifles
is asked. Altogether, $2,900,000 is
sought for ammunition, compared with
100000 carried in the current law.
For field artillery for the organized
militia $2,09O,000 is asked, 81, 100, 900
having been appropriated last year.
The signal service would get $780,
0)0, of which 100000 would be for
the purchase, maintenance, operation
and repair of airships. Provision would
be made for giving one years addition
al pay to the beneficiaries of men
killed in the army aviation service.
