PACIFIC BATTLE IMMINENT
German Fleet in Waters off Chile
Signifies Engagement

Valparaiso, Nov. 16.-The "Japa
nese fleet reported to have been seer
off the Chilean coast appears now tc
have been a German squadron which
is cruising near Valparaiso. The re
port that Japanese warships had been
seen near Punta Carranza was denied
officially.
German naval officers deny abso
lutely that another action besides the
battle which occurred between Ger
man and British w%arships on Nov.
has taken place off Chile. 1t is ex
pected here, however, that the British
and German fleets may meet again
at any moment.
The taking on of provisions by the
German cruisers Leipzig and Dresden
which steamed into Valparaiso, was
delayed for a short time because of a
protest made by British officials to the
Chilean authorities. The German min
lister made satisfactory arrangements
with the government and the war.

The southern army, under General

A message from Bucharest, accord

Conclusion of Military Men.
AS a matter of fact, military men
here believe the Germans, as soon as
they saw it was impossible to carry
out their design of capturing Warsaw,
dispatched troops from that region to
the west, not imagining that the Rus
sian pursuit could be carried out with
the rapidity with which it has been.
Marks Invasion of England?
London, Nov. 13.-The official press
bureau u that H. M. S. Mig
er has just been torpedoed by a Ger
man submarine in the Downs and
foundered. All her officers and crew
were saved. Four men were injured.
The sinking of the Niger is de-
clared to mark the opening of the
threatened attack on the English
coast by German submarines. The
Downs is a section of the Kentish
coast just south of the headlands that
guard the entrance of the river
Thames. 1t is a protected harbor,
made SO by the Goodwin Sands and is
the nearest point on the British coast
line to tn, French port of Calais.
The Niger was a comparatively un-
important unit in the British fleet.
Classified as a torpedo gunboat she
was used with her sister ships Crice,
Hebe, Jason, Leda, Speedy and Ante
lope In mine sweeping fisheries pro-
lection. She was of $40 tons register,
230 feet long and drew only 1914 feet.
She carried two At inch guns and
four 3 Founders and was fitted with
three 1S-inch torpedo tubes.

GEN. SCOTT HEADS US. ARMY
BECOMES CHIEF OF STAFF TO
SUCCEED WoTHERSPOoN.
Latter's Place to Be Filled by Funs-
ton, Now Commanding at Vera Cruz
General Bliss Also Advanced.

Washington, Nov. 16.- Brigadier
General Hugh Scott has been selected
by President Wilson to be chief of
staff of the United States army upon
the retirement today Of Major Gen.
eral Wotherspoon.
The vacancy of major general Great
ed by General Wotherspoon's retire
ment will be filled by the nomination
of Brigadier General Frederick F.
Funston, now in command at Vera
Cruz.
Brigadier General Tasker II. Bliss
will become chief of the mobile army
division and upon the retirement of
Major General Murray on April 20,
1915, General Scott will be appointed
a major general.
General Scott, who became assist
ant chief of staff when General Woth-
espoon succeeded General Wood as
chief, graduated from the Military
academy in 1875. He has spent all OF
his military life in the cavalry branch,
with the exception of periods when he
was engaged in staff or special ser
vice.
More closely than any officer of his
rank in the army he has been identi-
fed with the Indians and semi-civiliz-
ed wards of the government and a re
markable measure of success has at
tended his administration.
General Scott spent II years in the
grade of first lieutenant at lonely
western army posts, during the stag
nation in promotion which attended
the old practice of regimental promo-
ton. This trying experience proved
of great benefit to him because
through his association with the In
dian tribes he became an adept in
their various tongues, especially in
the Indian sign language.
This special qualification brought
him much delicate and difficult SER
vice to the great credit of his record.
Only about two years ago he earned
the great gratitude of the administra-
ton by going s~ingle-handed into a
swarm of angry Indians in Arizona in
tent on the wal path and bringing
them to ways Of peace.

CsRRANzA HAS COMPROMISE
WILLING TO QUIT MEXICO If
VILLA WILL LEAVE ALSO.
Agents of Latter Protest Announced
Intention of U. S. to Evacuate
Vera Cruz.

Mexico City, Nov. 17.-Genera'
Obregon received a dispatch from Cor
doba saying that General Carranza had
made an offer to General Eulalio Guti
erres to turn over the military forces
to General Gonzales and leave fol-
Havana, to arrive there not later than
Nov. %, if General Francisco Villa
would turn over his command TO Gen
eral Gutierrez and be in Havana the
same date. The Aguas Calientes con
vention must meetin Mexico City the
day Generals Villa and CarranZa ar
rive in Havana, according to General
Carranza's offer.
Villa Protests Evacuation.
Vera Cruz.-General Francisco Vii,
las agents continued to send messages
to their northern chief and to intluen,
tial members of their faction in pro,
test against the early evacuation of
Vera Cruz by the United States forces,
alleging that such a step would be
manifest support by the United States
of General Venustiano C%arranza.
The hotels here are filled with refu,
gees. Women and children of the bet,
ter class are becoming a common sight
in their corridors. Many families, once
wealthy, but ruined by the warfare,
are compelled to remain in Vera Cruz
as they are without money to pay
their passage abroad.
Just beyond the American lines Gen.
eral Candida Aguilar has only a few
men on his outpost positions. Scrupu-
lous are appears to be taken to pre-
vent any friction with the Americans,
to speed whose departure Aguilar is
said to have begged General Eulalic
Gutierrez to join him in an agreement
not to begin hosilities until they had
departed.
General Higenio and Benjamin Ar,
gumendo have not succeeded in cap,
turing Puebla, but have interrupted
traffic to that place.
General Carranza's strength at Tam.
pico appears to have been increased
by the arrival there of the gunboat
ZaragoZa and the declaration of Cap
tain Malpica, commanding the vessel.
that he was for Carranza. The gun
boat was detained by the Constitution
alists at the entrance to the river and
her commander compelled to declare
for which side he would fight.
All Assurances Given.
