London, Dec. 29.--Whi!e the note
sent by The United States to Great
Britain. insisting upon early improve
m9nt in the treatment accorded to
American shipping by the British fleet
has moi yet reached the British fer
eiga office. British officials have read
the contents Of the note as cabled in
press dispatches from Washington.
and today they manifested deep inter-
est in the elimination of this serious
controversy.
The evening papers gave larger
headlines TO the American protest than
they devoted TO the development of
the war itself It is generally regard
ed as the gravest incident in the re-
latiOns between Great Britain and
the United States that has occurred
since the Venezuelan affair
Sir Ed ward Grey, secretary for for
eiSn affairs, is absent in the country
on his Christmas holiday. In his abb
|'sence the note was presented to Lord
Haidane by Ambassador Page tonight
Officials of the foreign office, Of
course. authorized no statement today,
but the feeling prevails that an ar
rangement for more expeditions hand
ling Of American commerce can be
speedily reached now that the United
States has provided a definite basis
CT negotiations
It was pointed out that the United
States does not protest against either
the seizure or the search of her YES
sells by British warships, but mainly
against the manner of doing 1t.
Why the procedure of search has not
been improved in the past five months,
during which time the United States
government has continually protested,
is not explained.
That the United States would ulti-
mately file a formal protest on the
shipping score has been well known
in British government and business
circles for some time.
What new arrangements for facili-
Eating the search and release of Amer
lean vessels is likely to be adopted
no official was willing to predict to-
but it was thought that system
of joint inspection by both countries
before a vessel leaves it's American
port might be the most feasible solu-
ton. After such an inspection, it was
inted out, there would be no possi-
BILE warrant for DETECTING ship to
port to be held there several days for
inspection.

ENGLAND MUST PAY.
Wilson Says Damages Will Be De.
manded for OBTAINING Ships.

Washington, Dec. 29-President
Wilson, referring today to the Ameri-
can note to Great Britain insisting
on better treatment for American
commerce, declared that large dam
ages eventually would have to be paid
by England for unlawful detention of
American cargoes.
The president pointed out that the
many protests had been sent in specif-
ic cases, and that if the contention Of
the American government were cor
rect, as he was firmly convinced 1t
was, plans for naturalization .ulti-
mately would have to be met by Great
Britain.
Supplementary to previous protests,
the new note, President Wilson ex-
planned, represented fully the Ameri-
can position. He said that so far as
theory was concerned, there. was no
debate on the point raised, because
England herself, in previous wars, had
taken exactly the American position.
The president was asked if the COM
munication sent to Great Britain was
the result of the recent gathering Of
Pan-American diplomats here He
said it was not. but that the position
OF the United States would apply to
any neutral and that the contentious
advanced were not. peculiar to this
country.
The president added the note was
not based on any treaties between the
United States and Great Britain. but
on the generally accepted principle Of
international law. Publication Of the
substance of the American note this

Washington Gratified to Learn That
Angeles Will Become Provisional
President-May Accord Him
Recognition.
FOLLOWS GUTIERREZ

Washington, Dec 29.-General An
geles, a close friend of General Villa
and General Zapata, and most accepta-
BILE to the Mexican national conven-
ton, will be the next provisional
president of Mexico.
This is the substance of reports to
the state department from it's agents
in Mexico, and the news is very salts
| factory to the department.
Officials declared today that with
General Angeles in the executive chair,
the way to a formal recognition of a
central government in Mexico will be
cleared. A request for recognition is
expected shortly after General An
geles' Inauguration.
| 1t was explained to the Information
al News Service today that General
Gutierrez, the present provisional
president, was elected "for twenty
the Mexican convention. General Viii
la has asked the convention to as
semble within the next ten days at
Mexico City.
General Angeles, it was stated at
the state department today, was
largely instrumental in stopping the
prescriptions and political murders by
the guerillas who first got into Mexi-
cc City, and acted without the direc-
ton of either Zapata or Villa: No new
reports of murders have reached the
department.
The officials, anticipating the ele-
walton of General Angeles, say he will
be anxious to have nationwide cleo
ton in Mexico and will Immediately
issue a proclamation to that end.
In the meantime, the department
reports indicate that when General
Villa has captured Tuxpam, the sea-
port which he is now besieging, Cen
eral Carranza will leave Mexico.
