GOOD SENSE AT PANAMA

Everybody knows that the Pana- ma canal is open for business but not everyone realizes that it is be- ing used by all sorts of vessels. The machinery of the greatest water highway eyer created by man is running so smoothly that it Iurn- ishes no sensational news. Eff eiency ia regarded as commonplace where wonders have been wrought with the least possible official fuss and display.
 Merchant ships under several flags have already passed through the canal. A Peruvian war vessel used the new waterway the other day. ships fully loaded have gone from one ocean to ths other. They have been able to make the trip without the least difficulty. weeks have become hours in passing from the Atlantic to the Pacific, or from the western ocean to the eastern.
 Would any other nation have built so great a monument to it's vision, it's faith, its skill and made so little adO-practically nona at all-iR turning it's vast achieYemeut over to the world $ use? Would any other counSry have been quite so matter-of-fact and so free from ostentation of any kind as the republic which has often been accused of much boosting and excessive self-con- sciousRess? ?-Cleveland Leader.

DETAINED IN AUSTRALIA

When dispatches come rom England, France or Russia telling Of the seizure of German or Aus trlan merchant vessels taken uneX- pectedly in ports their captains had supposed to be friendly, there is no smoothing over the fact that the ships are made the prey Of the powers that take possession of them, They are spoken of as prizes and often the value of the yHssels and their cargOes is esti- mated as part of the spells of war.
 But in far-oH Australia they tell Of the German merchant vessels which have been detained" in Australian ports. They are not spoken of as property of the enemy seized for the benefit of the British treasury. It is evidently not easy for the Australians to take 2 hostile attitude toward the shipping which they have been glad to welcome to their wharyes.
 It is doubtless an outcropping Of the ineIperience of the antip- Cdeans in the gentle art of war. They have been so long accustom- ed to be glad when European ships whether under the German flag or not, came to their ports that they have temporary difficulty in looking upon these vessels loaded with the merchandise of peaceful commerce as hostile and pernicious crafe to be seized, condemned and confiscat- ed.
 But all the colonies involved in the war will learn in time. They may be quite European and quite professional in their outlook on international conflicts. before the restoration of peace

from American Consul Canada through a messenger who returned to Vera Cruz today.
 w. H. Mechling of the geological survey of Canada, who has been for some time in Mexico in behalf of the universities of Harvard, Pennsyl- vania and Columbia, spent two days at Cordoba. He was detained, put not in jail, and finally was permitted to proceed here as an Englishman, though he is in reality an American.
 Mechling went to the jail in Cor-a doba Sunday afternoon and talked to the prisoners, among whom are sev- eral he is acquainted with. They begged him to communicate their plight to Consul Canada and Rear Admiral Fletcher
 The prisoners are herded like cat tie and are jeered almost constantly either by the Keepers or the Mexican inmates of the Jail. They are per- mitted to have food and drink only when the whim suits the jailers, and are frequently threatened with death.
 Among the prisoners is a young Mexican woman with an infant four months old. There are several other women and children, and the total number of all nationalities, according to Mechling, is eighty-fve.

Gen. Funst0n's Troops
 Eagerly Awaited

Americans in Vera Cruz early to- day were eagerly awaiting General Frederick. Funston and his troops, who were known to be almost within sight of land if not actually anchored beyond the outer line of Rear Ad- miral Badgers fleet.
 No announcement as to when the soldiers will be sent ashore has been made at headquarters. It was ,x- pected, however, that the marines would not be withdrawn until the army expeditionary force is com plete.
 It is generally understood that there will be no effort to extend the territory now held here until further orders to that effect come from Wash ington.. This attitude, it is supposed, is the natural result of the negotia- tions regarding mediation, little in- formation of which is reaching here and because of the desire to continue efforts to bring Americans in Mexico City and elsewhere to the coast.
 It is probable that several naval officers now administering municipal affairs will not be disturbed when the army takes hold. Among these

Host of John Lind
 Among Prisoners

One of the imprisoned men is Su- perintendent Emery of the Vista Her mosa sugar plantation of Vera Cruz state, who. entertained John Lind, President Wilson's representative, few months ago.
 Meohling says eighty-seven per sons. chiefly Americans from sur rounding plantations, are held at Tuxtepec, and that Consular Agent Wite is in jail at El Hule, near Tux tepec.
 Mechling left Tuxtepec last We'd nesday with a pass giving an assumed name and his nationality as British. An excited crowd of Mexicans sur rounded the train and 1t was with dif- ficulty that he persuaded them to al- low him on board. At Ell Burro an- other mob searched the train and robbed him of all his money except two bills, which he had hidden In his shoes. At Tierra Blanca, fourteen whites and thirty-twof negroes were brought aboard the train. A mob met the train at Cordoba and shout ed insults at the Americans.
 E. B. Weems, 8 sugar plantation owner who was previously held at Cordoba, escaped by descending the river in launch to Alvarado. He arrived safely in Vera Cruz and sailed for the United States on the steamer Mexico yesterday.

London, April 2S.-The seizure yes- terday by Rear Admiral Fletcher of the property of the British owned terminal company at Vera Cruz is &C., cepted by the British foreign office as quite within the admirals rights and in accordance with propriety.

is Commander Stickney of the Prairie. captain of the port, who is now dl- recting affairs inside the breakwater. Since the Prairie is a marine trans port with all her men ashore 1t is not probable that any change will be made so far as the position of captain of the port is concerned.
 The medical department of the military government began today clearing up the wreckage of the Naval academy, which was riddled by shells from the ships on the second day. Despite the damage much of the contents of the building can be used.

FINANCIAL NEWS
WATChfUL WAITING
 SLOGAN OF MARKET
Uncertain Status Of Mexican Situa-
 ton Causes Traders to Hold Back.

Wall Street, 10:45 A. M.-Slow trading and narrow movements in stocks, after a firm opening today, suggested that the market had settled down for period of waiting. The uncertain status of the Mexican situ- alton attached unusual hazards to speculation on either side of the market and traders held back. For the first time in several days the cables showed only small variations in quotations of American stocks in London and the market missed the impulse which hitherto had come from that quarter. First changes while small, were mostly upwards. Gradually the market hardened until a majority of the active stocks ad- vanced a point or more. Canadian Pacific rose two points and Mexican Petroleum 1-4.
 Close-The market today closed strong. Prices rose from one to four points on the more hopeful feeling regarding the Mexican situation, fav- orable crop news and expectations of a speedy decision in the freight rate case. Lake dealers were on a con- tracted scale, but the market contin- ued steadily upwards.

 During the full period of the twenty one gun salute the battalions stood at present arms and the admirals with their right hands at their caps About the plaza American civilians and British and French spectators stood bareheaded, Only a. few Mexican residents of Vera Cruz were in the throng.

Terminal Property 3 Seized By Fletcher

Vera Cruz, April 2s.-Rear Admiral Fletcher last evening seized the piers, yards and buildings of the Terminal company. a British owned concern, control over which he re- garded as necessary in order to fa- cilitate the resumption of the nor mai business activity of the city. Tho admiral had been endeavoring to rent the property, but could not come to an agreement with the managers as to the price to be paid.
 The management quoted a figure which the naval authorities consid- cred exorbitant, and Admiral Fletcher ended the controversy by taking ad- vantage of his powers under martial law and assuming possession of the property Prior to the seizure d high official of the company had a
 British flag raised over the water station far out in the yards in the belief that such action might pre- vent the Americans from taking over the property. It availed him noth- ing, however. w. Morcom, manager
 of the Mexican railway and presi- dent of the Terminal company, called
 on Rear Admiral Craddock of the
 British cruiser Essex and related the circumstances to him. The admiral
 advised MT. Morcom to present his
 claims to the British foreign office The Terminal company is a Brit ish concern, most of the stock of which is held by the railroads two of which, the Interoceanic and the Mexican. are British owned
 For the operation of the property the military authorities are using
 railroad men who have just arrived in Vera Cruz, and who offered their services in any capacity. @
 Six federal soldiers who wandered too close to the American lines were
 captured late yesterday by marines.
 There Is not any desire among the Americans to attack or in any way assume the offensive against the Mex
 jeans, so when the marines found themselves in possession of squat of Huerta's soldiers they did their best to entertain them. They gos- siped with the Mexicans regarding the news beyond the lines and after a field luncheon shook hands with them and sent them away.
