Three Shifts Are Employed on
Sunday for First Time Since
the Spanish War.

BOSTON, April 26.-For the first time
since the Spanish war, work In every
Mechanical department of the Charles
Town navy yard is in progress on Sum
day. The three shifts that have been
working there day and night since the
hostllities at Vera Cruz began were
ordered to continue TODAY. Thu neus

efforts at mediation by the South
american republics of the differences
Det"een the United States and Mexico

Navy Department to let up on the work
of preparing the ships at the yard for
service with all speed possible.
Repair work will continue to be

With her hold loaded with ammunj-
ton, the collier Leonidas sailed from

the last few days she has been loading
with ammunition sent on barges from

The navy yard has been practically
stripped OF marines by the dispatch OF
lO men to Mexico. This morning the
naval prison was temporarily placed out

QUIET IN VERA CRUZ TODAY.

Ther are four locomotives in Vera
Cruz now in commission, engineers from
the American forces having worked all
night to get them into running shape.
These will be sent out toward Mexico
City TO meet the trains coming from the
Mexican capital.
The first communication to be sent
by Admiral Craddock from Vera Cruz
to Mexico City, since the city was
evacuated. went out today when a tele-
gram was sent to the capital inquiring
for the British subjects said to have
been captured by General Mas.
Favor Prompt Action.
Americans in Vera Cruz express grave
doubts over the ACCESSIBILITY OF delaying
military action against Huerta pending
the proposed mediation. 1t is believed
by the American colony here that
Huerta will make use of the time in
gathering re-enforcemnts. and in sup
plying his army with fighting equip
ment.
There is no indication of yellow fever
IN this section. 4 few cases of small
uox have been discovered. but the Pub
lie Health Service has them under con-
troll. and the disease cannot spread.
Food prices continue to soar. and II
will be but few days when the Ameri-
can authorities will be forced TO feed
the entire city.

VILLA PROMISES TO
PUNISH GEN. HUERTA
Rebel Leader Will Demand That
Carranza Take a Neutral
Stand in Crisis.

JUAREZ. April "a crisis Is ex-
pected in constitutionalist affairs before
tonight. unless Carranza backs down
and expresses his intention of remain
ing neutral In the situation which has
developed from the Tampico incident.
Villa Is in Juarez because he docs not
wish to argue the matter of interra-
tional policy with Carranza and mis- as
sociates. Knowing that a break be-
tween Carranza- the nominal first chief
OF the revolution. and himself at this
time would be fatal to The cause he has
been leading. Villa hurried to JuareZ,
angry and sInarting becaIse Carranza
and his non-fighting diplomatists neg
lected to confer or counsel with him or
Gen. Felipe Angeles. the military brains
of the revolution. regarding the reply
forwarded to Washington in answer to
the polite request for a statement of
their position in the present situation.
Villa has admitted that had he re-
mafned in chihuahua, the break would
probably have occurred, which has been
pending between the nominal and the
real chiefs Of the revolution. To assure
his friends on the American side anS
tened to Juarez and issued a statement
tnat Carranza's position was not the
position Of the revolution and was not
held by him. He admitted that the
Carranza note was a grieyous mistake
and the outcome OF bad advice from
political friends.
Villa went further last night when he
gave representatives of the United
States to understand that unless Car
ranza receded from his position in re-
gard to the United States, he would
take charge of affairs and either force
Carranza to retreat or resign. But
Villa and his close friends do not con-
slider such a drastic movement neces-
sary in order to save the situation.
CarranZa depends UPON his advisers for
whatever element OF political strength
he has.
Villa will have none of this borrowed
strength. and intends to return and
put the issue uD to Carranza. AS Villa
has always controlled the situations
which have arisen, there is little doubt
here that he will dominate the situa-
neutral policy with the United States,
even IL Mexico City is invaded. This
Is the position, 1t is understood, that
Villa and the Washington representative
here have agreed to.
''CarranZa's message was a great mis-
take" said villa. 1T is not best for
me to give out my views yet, but We
are not going to turn on our friends.
My personal wishes are that the Uni
ted States continue the blockade of the
Huerta ports II 1t will do this. We
will be in Mexico City with the entire
constitutionalist army within month,
and 1 will personally make Huerta Of
fer full and satisfactory apology 10

friend OF the people of Mexico, for all
the insults he has offered your flag.
