CAPITAL BOY ABOARD
DOLPHIN At TAMP|C0
Joseph A. Mason Writes of Incl
dent Which Led to United
States Demands.

There was a Washington boy aboard
the Dolphin at the time that bluejackets
from that vessel were arrested while
landing from a whaleboat at Tampico,
which event led UP to the present oc-
cupation of Vera Cruz by the United
States forces.
Joseph Arthur Mason. whose father,
Joseph c. Mason. has been employed at
the Corcoran Art Gallery for the last
seventeen years and who resides at 1124
sth street northwest, has written to his
parents telling of Admiral Mayo's inter
ceding Ior the men under arrest, adding
that the decks of the Dolphin were
cleared for action"
Young Mason was a member of the
District National Guard. He is native
of the District, having been born at 1901
+. street northwest. He attended the
Franklin and Thompson schools in Wash
ington. He is member OF the Dolphin
base ball nine. He was originally assign
ed to the U. S. S. Nebraska, at Tampico
but later transferred to the Dolphin He
comes from a seafaring family. his
father having been a member of the
navy.
When the newspapers were bristling
with news OF possible war Mr.. and Mrs
Mason were naturally very much con-
cerned about the safety of their son, and
Mason received letter from him, which
was written aboard the Dolphin April

followed this letter. as the postmark
shows, was not mailed from the Dolphin
until April %.

tended by one official. who did not care to
have his name used, but who is in close
touch with the situation at Vera Cruz,
that the act was merely a feeble attempt
on the part of Huerta to show that he
had made an attempt to repulSe the
American forces. Since the American
forces first stepped upon Mexican soil at
Vera Cruz. it was pointed out. liuerta S
forces had taken practically no steps to
retard the forces, and this was really the
only attempt made TO repulse them. and
it was considered to be purely a technical
move.
However. against this opinion IS con-
traSted those which argue that this was
an act of war as Huerta had agreed to
the peace negotiations. At any rate, no
one at the department last night seemed
to take the incident as being of very
serious nature especially in view of the
fact that Gen. FunStonS second mes
sage said that the forces were no longer
in sight
Following the issuing of the dis
appeared to be somewhat relieved, and
affairs at the War Department quieted
down in short order last night.
Constitutionalist forces that have cap
tured Monterey are evidencing keen
desire to ingratiate themselves with
the American representatives, express
regret for the incident at Tampico that
led to the occupation of Vera Cruz, and
profess deep respect for the United
States and for the Stars and Stripes,
according to dispatch from Consul
General Hanna. This was announced
at the White House last night.

URGED TO PRAY FOR PEACE.
Cardinal Gibbons Instructs Priests
to Exhort CONGREGATIONS.

Cardinal Gibbons has instructed all
priests in the archdiocese to urge upon
their congregations tomorrow that
they pray for peace between the Unit
ed States and Mexico. To make this ap-
peal as strong as possible the ven

t, all the Catholics in this episcopal
see which will be read in the churches
tomorrow The letter follows:
Cardinals residence, 4OS Charles
street,
Baltimore, Md.
My dearly beloved children: There IL
danger of war, which is desired by no
one. but yet may be forced upon US by
circumstances we cannot control Hap
ply we are still at peace. When war
seemed inevitable God averted it in a
wonderful and unlocked for way. Now is
our opportunity for prayer.
! beg you then, my dear children, to
pray earnestly for peace, pray that
God may inspire with wisdom the
mediators who are now endeavoring to
negotiate the terms of a continuance
of peace with the leaders of our ma
tion and Mexico on whom rest the re-
sponsible decision of war or peace.
Pray that no feelings of animosity
may be aroused amongst us or among
the people of Mexico, but that both ma
tions may continue in cordial relations
/ ordain that the collect for peace be
recited at mass every day during the
month of our blessed mother, which
we are now beginning. I exhort all the
faithful to most earnest prayer. May
God in His mercy avert war with all its
and may our blessed mother obtain
this mercy from her Divine Son
through her powerful intercession.

TAMPICO OIL WELLS SAFE.
Federals and Constitutionalists Give
Adequate Assurances.

American and British oil wells at Tam
pico will be protected during the fighting
there. This assurance has come to Sec
retary Bryan from both Carranz:i and
Huerta-
There has been no formal agreement to
neutralize the wells. The faith of both
factions has been pledged that the wells
shall not be destroyed.
Secretary Bryan communicated the as
surances given by federal and constitu
tionalist leaders to protect the oil well
properties to the British embassy, which
has been much concerned, not only be-
cause of the loss to owners of the proper
ties from inability to market the product.
but also from fear of destruction of the
town itself If the tanks are allowed To
burst or overflow.
Some oil already has been wasted, but
most of the wells are unharmed. The
chief difficulty to the owners is the fact
that practically all employees Of the oil
companies at Tampico were Americans.

MINER, IN PRISON,
LOSING HIS MIND
Americans Send Protest on
Incarceration at Cumpas of
lanes Byington.
HELD IN AN ADOBE CELL
WITH insufficient FOOD.
Rebel Officials Dodge the Response
bility for Undue Delay
of Justice.

NOGALES, Ariz.. May a-on informa-
ton brought here by refugees that James
Pyfngton. an American imprisoned nine
months at Cumpas, Sonora, Mexico,
without a trial. was slowly dying of
neglect, another protest was sent today
to the constitutionalist authorities at
Cumpas, demanding his immediate re-
lease.
According to Americans who have been
aroused by what they describe as cruel
ties inflicted on Byington. former pro-
tests against his long Imprisonment with
out trial have been received with jeers
by the consti;utionalist chiefs. Byington,
who is an old man. and native OF
Boise. Idaho. is said to be losing his
mind. The latest representations to the
Mexican authorities state that it ap-
parently is not the intention to give him
trial. and ask that he be set at liberty.
The charge against Byington. on which
1t is said he has been imprisoned with
out trial since August 8. 1913 involves a
shipment of ore from mining claim.
The refugees report that the American
is confined in dark adobe cell sur
rounded by filth ana vermn, clad in
rags and half starved.
Refusal to Allow Food.
They allege prison officials refused to
permit him to receive food sent by SYM
pathetic Americans, and that the pris-
oner, in consequence of his treatment
and surroundings, rapidly is becoming
demented.
It Is said he located mine claim near
Cumpas. and on the assumption that pa
pers legalizing the claim were on the way
from Mexico City prepared car of ore
for shipment. He was arrested on a
charge that he had not established his
claim. The Judge at Cumpas, in deny
ing Byington an immediate trial. is said
to have declared it was necessary to as
certain the value of the ore. This. 1t Is
said, has not been done, but the amount
Is less than $500.
An American who arrived today said:
"Byington was moving about in the
dark cell like dumb animal. There was
a Mexican charged with murder in the
cell with him. The odor was awful. By
ington could give no intelligent informa-
tion about himself and looked at me with
CLASSY eyes.
Five Cents Day for Food.
'I attempted to send some wholesome
food to him, but the jefe would not per-
NIT him to receive 1t. He explained
cents day was provided for each pris-
oner and that this was sufficient"
Previous reports had been made te

said demands have been made by the

that there were casualties. Despite
the lack of dispatches from the mill

to give credence to the reports which

but they were relieved somewhat when
Gen. Funston's dispatch indicated that
no casualties had resulted.
Big Building All Agog.
The CONSERVATION prevalent when the
first reports came in telling of the land
ing of American forces at Vera Cruz was
repeated last night. and the big building
was all agog with military officials. The
activity. however. had shifted from the
navy on side of the building TO the
army on the other.
The appearance of number OF prornl-
nent army officers in the corridors elected
all manners of conjectures and created

ing made for the movement OF additional

VERA CRUZ, May 2.-The governorship
of Vera Cruz was handed over late to-
day by Robert ]. Kerr who was recently
appointed civil governor. to Brig. Gen.
Frederick Funston The ceremony con-
nected with the change of government
was purely formal.
The military government of the city,
which has now been established, is to
follow closely the lines of the civil gov
eminent hitherto in existence. and as
many Mexican officials as desire to ac-
cept or continue office are to be employed
in the administration. The law courts
have been requested to continue their
functions in the same way as that to
which they have been accustomed, and
all their acts are to be as nearly as pos
sible in accord with the Mexican law
Every branch of the city administration
is. however, to be under military SUI
pervision. Such military and naval of
ficers as held office under the civil gov
ernor probably will be retained, especially
Commander II. O. Stickney, inspector OF
the port. and David Potter, paymaster
of the Minnesota, who has been acting
as collector of customs.
