negotiate for a recrudescence of the
$30,OOO,000 currency reorganization
loan which the revolution of 1911 up
set. Now it seems that this is to be
but one of his many duties.
The Bank of China is an official in
stitution, under the direction of the
minister of finance, with branches in
Shanghai and other leading cities
throughout the republic. President
Yuan Shih-Kai hopes to make it in
time as in influential to Asia as is the
Bank of England in the British Isles
and Europe.
The organization of a branch in
New York City is also discussed, but
no decision has been reached off
cially. This will be done sooner OF
later, but London will have the honor
of receiving the first foreign branch
of the Bank of China. 1t is under
stood that DR.. Chen will look into the
New York situation while in Amer
lea and that the future date of the
placing of a Manhattan department
will depend upon his report after he
returns to this city.

McPheIand. an employe at Tampico of the Anglo- American Oil company. The others were French and Spanish. McPheland left because threats against his life were made at the time the anti-Amer- ican feeling was at fever heat.
 The Gamaguey left Il days before the city fell into the hands of the constitutionalists. The Camaguey, reg fstered under the Cuban flag, was tied up at the wharf at Tanpico for IT days and was within a block of some of the heaviest firing from the Mex ican gun boatas-
 The American vice-consul. accord ing to a story told by one passenger. was dragged from coach and rope was put about his neck Sailors from the British cruiser Hermione rescued him. Hotels refused to house Ameri- can refugees

HUERTA'S ENvOYS BAR CARRANzA AS
 MEXICO LEADER
Will Never Agree To Change Making Him Or Villa Ma
 tion's President

Washington, May 1s.-While the stage was being set in Niagara Falls today for the next, big scene in the Mexican crisis, officials in diplomatic and administration circles eagrely dis cussed the extent to which the media ton prelininaries might reach and the bearing the negotiations eventual ly would have on the hope of settling the southern republics ills. Reported optimism of the Huerta delegates oy- CT chances for mediation and their confidence that their long journey will not have been in vain found reflection in the capital.
 Members of the federal mission were in New York today. Minister Na.on, of Argentine, was in Niagara, Falls arranging for the beginninE of the conference next Wednesday. Ambassa- dor Da Cana, of Braztl, was to leave New York today for the Canadian bor- der town. Minister Suarez of Chile, was to leave here today and members of to reach Niagara Falls Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, about the time the Huerta representatives arrive from New York
 The Huerta delegates firmly de- clined while here to give out any statement of their program. They privately have admitted that the real NAAD2AA7 cfficatfon of the country. At the same time persons in the confidence of the Washfn gtcn government assert che question for mediation no longer is the Tampfco flag Incident or the numerous affronts to the dignity of the United States, but the question of settling the troubled repu bIic's ills. Along that line, it is said that Es1nston's troops never will be withdrawn from Vera Cruz until a firm government is estab- lis1ed or assured in Mexico City.
 Observers who were said to have the confidence of Emilio Rabasas head of the Huerta mission, stated that the. federals probably would object to the naming as Huerta's successor any man on the way to power sby arbitrary force" as described in President Wf1- son's Latin-American address. That would eliminate the two consultations alist leaders. Carranza and Villa. al- faction who would not be unaccept- able, it is said.
 On the other hand the constitutions alists have asserted they would yield to no compromise and. would prose- cute the military campaign for the occupation Of Mexico City and the es- tablishnent here of their own civil government.

The cause of the burglar-proof equipment being installed at the emergency hospital has been explained by Superintendent S. R. Gordon at last. He says that reports have been received alleging the disappearance of narcotic drugs from the hospitals drug room and it has been considered wise to put a stop to it.
 In the past, practically the only representatives of the general public being admitted to the room have been patients under the supervision of the surgeons Attaches of the building and newspapermen visiting the place deny that they know anything about the drugs, not even Knowing where they are kept.

U. 5. s. RALEIGH SAVED AMERICANS
 FROM MEXICANS

San Francisco, May Histories told today by the 90 refugees who arrived here yesterday on the British steamer Cetriana from the west coast of Mex ico supplied additional details of their escape from ManzaniIlo, Mexico. But for the timely arrival of the United States cruiser Raleigh as the Cetriana was preparing to sail, refugees ex- pressed the belief that the MexicanS would have destroyed the steamer and wrecked vengeance on the Americans aboard.
 Edward J. Minister, British naval re- serves, had taken at San Bias, April 26, a party of 1T Americans from the inland town of Topic. This party was sbeing held as prisoners and it was dif1cult for Lieut. Minister to obtain their release N
 The vessel proceeded to Alanzanillo, arriving there April 27 and, was per- rnitted to tie up at the wharf and take on board 37 refugees who had been under the protection of the German consul Feeling was running high against the Americans News of the occupation of Vera Cruz by the Unit ed States had begun to trickle out to the west coast and it was generally believed that war had been declared.
 The day after the Cetrianass arrival it was discovered that the dock dur ing the night had been soaked with oil and mined with dynamite Lieut. Minister promptly armed his passen- gers and kept close watch Shortly afterward, the Mexican steamer Luei- la, loaded with infiammable material, steamed up and dropped anchor with in 10 feet of the Cetriana. The Mexi- can troopships Manuel Herreries and General Pesquera were observed to take positions in the stream as almost to block egress by the British steam er On board the American brig Gen eva avere four American refugees who had been picked up at San Bias. These Lieut.. Minister was trying to get aboard the Cetriaua-
 On the 28th, the cruiser Raleigh was sighted From the decks of the Cetri- ana, great commotion was noted ashore. Mexicans ran down to the dock, pouring oil on the wharf and the refugees believed they intended destroying the steamer before the Raleigh could come to the rescue.
 Lieut. Minister, by skillful maneu- vering. worked his vessel clear of the impending conhagration. Captain Fer guson, of the Geneva, assembled his crew and the four refugees were put into small boats and placed aboard the British vessel The Herreries weighed anchor and bore down on the Cetriana, apparently, it was believed, for the purpose Of ramming her.
 This ship had on board number of convicts who tried to take advantage Of the excitement to escape They
