nandez was ordered deported to Cuba OF
his plea not to be sent back to Mexico
to meet the fate that other Huerta lead
ers have met.
The charge against Hernandez. who

ceedinSs against him were based on an
affidavit of Consul Silliman that during
his imprisonment. Hernandez, who was
first assistant chief of the Saltillo peni-
tentiarv came to the door of his cell and
insulted him in the most abusive lam
guage. and also applied threats and

LAX|TY IS ALLEGED
IN B|EReE'S CASE

Letters have been received by the
State Department from friends of Am
brose Bierce, well-known Washington
author, who has been missing in Mexico
for more than year, criticising con-
sular representatives in Mexico for fall
ure to exert themselves in the search.
Criticism arose when Marion Letcher,
consul at Chihuahua, wrote within the
last few days to Washington inquirer.
saying that he had not heard before
of the search for Bierce. This surprised
Washington friends of the missing au-
thor as they had been advised by the
State Department when inquiries were
first set on foot in September that John
r. Silliman. the Presidents representa-
tive in Mexico. had been ordered to
make thorough investigation of
Bierces absence.
The department month ago made
public a report from Silliman In which
he stated he had been unable to locate
Bierce. and had turned the matter over
to Consul Carothers.
Friends Of the missing author were
surprised when they learned that Con-
sui Letcher, at Chihuahua. had not been
advised of Bierce's absence. as the de-
partment had been advised that he was
last seen in Chihuahua

ously hurt that he was taken to hos

Anglo-French Fleet Sails
In Direction of DQrdQneLleS

LONDON. Nov. 2.-The Turkish sit
uation demanded the attention of high
officialdom today. Communication
with Constantinople ceased lmmedi'
ately following the departure from
the capital of the ambassadors OF
Great Britain. France, and Russia. Ii
is reported, however, that Turkey
has detained all of the Russian con-
sular representatives az hostages Tor
the Turkish representatives now in
Russia. The belief is expressed that
they will shortly be released. as Pet
rograd advices say the Turkish am
bassador to Russia, his staff and the
various Turkish consuls have started
for home.
The reports persist that eight army
corps of Turkish troops have already
crossed the Egyptian frontier. The
official press bureau, however, while
permitting publication of the report,
has no confirmation.
A rigid censorship is in effect on
news from the east. This is believed
to be due to plans on the part of the
Franco-British fleet to attack the
forts of the Dardanelles Reports
reaching here from Italian sources in
dicate that the heavy battleships. bat
tie cruisers, and armored cruisers of
the fleets which have been lombard
ing Cattaro at the mouth of the Adri-
attic steamed away from there Satur-
day toward the southeast. 1t is be-
lieved they have proceeded to the
naval base rendered at the outbreak
Of the war by Greece. from which
point they will be within striking
distance Of the DardaneIles.
The assertion is made here that the
Turks can do little damage in an in
vasion of Egypt. Earl Kitchener has
taken every precaution. He has been
convinced from the outset Of the war
that Germany would involve Turkey,
and has taken measures accordingly.
There Is not foot of the Suez canal
which is not closely guarded by British
troops. Every stranger who has land
ed in Egypt since the inception OF the
war has been subject to the closest
espionage. Austrian and German
steamers and sailing craft have been
taken rs prizes Of war. 1t is further
insisted here that. even though the Sui.
tan capries out his threat as reported

WILL
NOT Be KEPT HERE

Secretary of the Navy Daniels de-
clared today that the frigate Constella-
ton, second boat of the United States
navy. will not be kept permanently at
the Washington Navy Yard for exhibi-
ton purposes, but will be sent back to
its station at Newport, r. I.
Thousands went aboard the frigate
yesterday and inspected the old sea-
fighter of century ago. So much in
terest was manifested that many re-
quests were received at the Navy De-
partment to have the boat permanently
stationed here.
Secretary Daniels said that when Con-
gress appropriated $4,000 to restore the
boat, he had assured members OF Con-
sress active In arranging for the Con-
stellation's exhibition at Baltimore that
it would be returned to Newport
The Secretary said the frigate would
remain here all this week and as much
longer as the people displayed active
interest in It, Secretary Daniels plans
to inspect the boat after his return
from Raleigh. N. c., where he will go
tonight to vote in tomorrow's election.

1t is believed certain here that Tur-

against England in Egypt. holy war
is expected to be proclaimed by the
Sultan, but there is a general feeling
here that it will meet with little SYM

Egypt or India. Russia is well salts
fed with the prospect of war with
Turkey. Baked for years Of an open
outlet for her commerce through the
Black Sea she will now be able to
take il with the consent OF the very
powers who in the past have oppos-
ed her.
Definite assurances have again been
received from Bulgaria that she intends
remaining neutral in the present CON
nict. It is of course possible that she
win later enter the war, but for the
present at least her near bankruptcy
promises to keep her hands tied.

have occupied Piotrkow, Opoczno. and

Just as an example, President Will
