We called both by wireless and ordered them to aid in the chase The Berwick tried to cut off the Kron- prinz Wilhelm, while the Bristol took a position to intercept the Karlsruhe. All afternoon we raced after the flee ing German. By o'clock her smoke had disappeared.
 At o'clock that night wireless from the Bristol said, Enemy in sight. A few minutes later came the mes sage, We are engaging the enemy
 We had no fear of the result if the German ship stood up to the Bris tol for we were all sure that our fellows could whip the Karlsruhe cas- fly at close quarters, but we raced on for all we were worth.
 The -Karlsruhe had the heels of the British, too They were in action for just about half an hour For a few minutes the German stood up and the shiis fought broadside to broadside After few minutes. however the Karlsruhe turned and ran. The Bristol chased her, firing her forward six inchers.
 "It was pitch dark and the sea was heavy Not one of the German shells landed but our chaps think they got some shots aboard the Karlsruhe. How ever. in long range fighting under those conditions 1t is pretty difficult to do much.

 We got prize last Saturday morn ing off Bermuda--the German oil tank CT Leda, which did not know war had been declared. We put prize crew aboard and conveyed her to Bermuda

Rumor New Revolution

El Paso, Tex. August 1s--Observers
 here believe revolt against Carranza in Sonora state will be the first move in counter revolution against the constitutionalists. Secret agents today asserted that an uprising had been planned not only in Sonora but in Chi huahua. Sinaloa and Durango.
 An official, but private, report said Villa had recruited his army in Chi huahua state alone to a total of 10000 men. A commission representing Jose Maria Maytorena, the insurgent gov ernor of Sonora. who today arrested Carranza's military commander Gen eral Alvarado. this afternoon passed through Fl Paso on their way to Son ora after conference with Villa.
 It was learned today that Pastor Rouix, governor of Durango. had been busted by the Arrieta brothers. mill itary leaders of that state and was a refugee under Villas protection at Torreon. The visit today of General Villa at Nieves Durango. was consid cred significant in view of the polit- teal condition in Durango, which ad- joins Chihuahua to the south.

Plan Peaceful Occupation

Washington, August 13.-Secretar, Bryan tonight announced that satisfac tory arrangements had been made be- tween General Carranza and Governor Iturbide of the federal district at Mex. leo City for the peaceful occupation O. the capital by the constitutionalis forces
 Recognition by the United States wa. promised under the Niagara Falls pro
 tocol, after the government at Mexico city shall have been recognized by al factions. Should the federal troops formally acknowledge their allegiance to the new government this might be construed as recognition by all ele- ments of the new administration though American administration offi-
 cials recently have kitimated that they would defer their recognition indef- initely until the new government shows 9. capacity for the maintenance of in- ternal peace.

 The pact was drawn up at the re- quest of the state department at Wash lnSton, which informed the Brazilian legation that this was necessary. Gen erai Carranga. chief of the constitu- tionalists. combatted the idea of sign Ing any document. saying unconditional surrender was the right of his con ouering army. After an all-day debate over the question. however, a compro- mise was effected under which General Obregon signed for the constitution alists.
 The federal forces still occupy Cuau- titlan.

BANKERS DIVIDED | ON METHODS ID EASE SITUATION
Advocates of Using Bank Notes As Reserves Are Outnumbered By Their
 Opponents

New York, August 1s-The feature oi the day in financial circles was further division fin banking interests respecting methods to bring about resumption of foreign business. Advocates of an amend
 ment to the national bank act, permitting
 the use of bank notes as reserves, are outnumbered by its opponents. The fact that the clearing house committee has
 declined to consider such an expedient
 seems to have given the proposition it's quietus
 On the other hand opponents of the proposition offer no solution looking to a
 removal of the many obstacles now as-
 suming greater proportions in connection
 with foreign obligations. definite stand
 on this momentous question soon will
 have to be taken, inasmuch as warrants or notes of the city of New York. pay mature September 1.
 Another interesting development. (Which may go far towards solving this and other problems, was continued in the announce-
 ment that ]. P. Morgan X Co. have sounded the federal government regard ing the advisability of a large loan to
 France. No information on this sub ject was obtainable at the offices of the
 bankers and 1t could not be ascertalned
 what prospects there were that the loan
 would be placed. No information could
 be obtained from the principal interna- tional banking houses regarding d loan to Austria, negotiations for which, it was
 announced at Washington, were under way.
 Call leans were marked up to s per cent in some instances today. but most renewals were at G per cent. More in- quiries for commercial paper were report ed and a larger business was done at l6 to 6A per cent. Out of town banks were the only buyers in the open mar ket local bankers coniining their opera tions to the discounting of bills of thelr own customs.
 Sight drafts on London declined 4 9Sc, as against 5.15c a few days ago. Con- siderable business was done at this lower
 rate and the London market as whole was easier.
 Another factor of favorable influence
 was the falling off in interior demand With the result that little emergency currency was transferred. Advices indi- cate that much of the alarm recently
 manifested fin this connection has been allayed.

fence society cannot be reconstructed"
 Perfect quiet reigns throughout the city.
 Preparations for the reception of the constitutionalist army are under way. A committee of senators and deputies of the old Madero Congress has been ap- pointed to greet General Carranza, busi- ness houses have been requested to deco rate and arrangements made for women to strew the path of the incoming army with flowers.
 The departure of President carbalal and his cabinet caused no interruption in the life of the capital, but for the first time In history, Mexico finds itself with neither legislative, judicial nor executive powers.
 The constitutionalists will find the city without money. arms and ammunition. A visit to the barracks and arsenals today showed that rooms which were stored with guns. cartridges and shells yester- day were empty The taking away of much war material by the federals is causing uneasiness
 Although the destination of the federal army was careful guarded, 1t is believed that Puebla City is the point to which it
 is proceeding.

 Reports of the fighting in the state Oaxaca between followers of Felix Daz and the late President Madero for the control of the local government are caus- ing anxiety here in view of rumors that the evacuating federals will Join the movement. These reports are without confirmation.
 
 Banks were closed todas. with the ex- ception of two which, however. are ex- pected to cease business. The closing was due to confusion over the many is sues of currency. The bankers desire to know which issues are to be recognized py the new regime before they resume business.

This is a good time to study carefully and leisurely. the arrangement of your grounds and gardens. Comfortably en- consed on shady vetanda, with paper and pencil before you, and a tall glass of frosty, tinl>ling connection from the fruit garden at youh elbow, you can accomplish results in the form of plans and determi- nations that are far more valuable than whatever you could do struggling out there in the heat.
 What do you see that you don't want to see next summer, and what don't you see that you really miss rom the garden scheme?
 QUESTION TO ANSWER.
 Is the lawn smooth, unbroken ex- panse of good turf? or is it spotted with carpet beds, specimen shrubs and in solated, ainless trees?
