Washington, D. C.-President Wilson
ordered practically the entire Atlantic
feet to Mexican waters to force pub
lie salute to the Stars and Stripes from
the Huerta government as an apology
for the arrest of American bluejackets
at Tampico last Thursday
No ultimatum has been issued-that
is. no specified time has been set
within which the Huerta government
must comply, but the naval demonstra-
ton has been ordered as concrete
evidence of the fixed determination of
the United States to back up Rear-Ad-
miral Mayo's demand for salute.
Up to Tuesday night General
Huerta had not made satisfactory re-
Spouse to that demand.
Future developments depend upon
Huerta himself" was the way high
Administration official close to the
President summarized the situation.
Gets a Weeks Grace.
It will be fully a week before the
Atlantic fleet is assembled at Tampico.
Rear-Admiral Badger will rank Rear
Admiral Fletcher and Rear-Admiral
Mayo and will take complete charge of
the situation.
While the ships are under way Cen
eraI Huerta will have practically a
week in which to answer the Ameri-
can demands. The crisis in the situa-
ton is expected to come if General
Huerta declines to yield by the time
the Atlantic fleet arrives.
Order After Conference.
The decision to send the fleet was
reached after the President and Secre-
tary Bryan had conferred for an hour
with John Lind, personal representa-
tive of the President in Mexico, and
after a two-hour Cabinet meeting at
which dispatches from Charge
O'Shaughnessy revealed that the
Huerta government disputed the right
of American bluejackets to be ashore
at Tampico and contended that it's
recent public statement of apology was
ample.
Immediately after the Cabinet meet
ing adjourned Secretary Daniels issued
his order to the Atlantic feet, and
wireless messages flashed up and down
the Atlantic coast to put the fleet under
steam for Tampico.
It will be the largest fighting force
the American Government has as
sembled for possible action since the
Spanish-American War. Eleven great
battleships, with auxiliaries, carrying
in all about $4,000 men, will comprise
the force off Tampico.

GIANT SNAKE NOT A MYTH
South American Traveller Has Abso-
Lutte Proof Of Existence Of Much
Discussed Reptile.

Algot Lange, the South American
traveller, recently aroused consider
able discussion on both sides of the
ocean concerning his claim to having
killed a monster snake-the sort Of
reptile of our childhood acceptance,
big enough to swallow and comfort
ably digest a Percheron draft horse.
Many men qualified by wild outdoor
experience and by careful geological
study took sides with and against him,
but there still remained a strain on
the credulity of the average reader.
Nevertheless, the prize big snake
of the Philippines does much to sup
port Mr.. Lange's Amazonian narrative.
1t was killed nearly seven years ago,
forty miles north OF Zamboanga, by
two American prospectors, named
Bell and Newman.
The skin was displayed for a time
in the Paris building in Manila, and
attracted a great deal of attention. 1t
measured 29 feet in length, but
Mr.. Wickersham, who brought it
to Manila, said that when it was killed
the boa constructor measured 30 feet
inches.

State House.-Governor Goldsbor-
ough affixed his signature of approval
to 205 bills passed by the General As
sembly. Before signing the bills, the
Governor heard Martin Lehmayer's
argument against the measure compell-
ing the Curtis Bay Water Company to
supply Brooklyn with water, and q
delegation from South Baltimore,
which urged the Governor to sign the
Key Highway bill. The Governor took
no action on these two measures.
Among the city bills signed were
those recommended by the supervisors
of election, which minimize the ex-
pense by cutting out registration day,
and doing away with the posting on
telegraph poles, and one which adds
to the city's expense is that increasing
the pay of detectives and clerical ser
geants.
OF Statewide importance are the
following:
To compel the State Lunacy Com
mission to remove insane convicts
from the penitentiary.
Giving $4,000 appropriation to the
Governors Vice Commission for fur

Reducing the State tax on securities
to Is cents.
To compel institutions receiving
State appropriations for building pur-
poses to rest the title to such improve
ments in the name of the State.
Prohibiting the sale of impure seeds.
Giving the Public Service Commits
sion power to regulate toll charges
made by the Union Railroad.
Providing for the State tax rate.
Changing the name of the Maryland

pensary.
Setting aside certain grounds in the

For the construction of the State
roads in and around Elkridge.
Releasing the Baltimore court treas
urers from claims.
Providing for local option elections

FACE COVERED WITH PIMPLES

214 Brevard ST., Tampa, Fla
"Some three years ago I commenced
to suffer from a rash on my face and
back. Before the pimples came on my
face there were a lot of blackheads. It
looked as if the blackheads turned
into pimples because after a little
while all Of them were gone and my
face was covered with pimples. They
were small at first but gradually
grew and right at the end of each
pimple it was all white. / carelessly
picked them with my finger nails,
which made them spread, and soon
discovered them on my back. Ny
back was covered with pimples and
my face the same way. At night
could hardly sleep on account Of the
burning and itching sensation they
caused. I did not like to go out be-
cause the pimples caused disfgure-

SEVEN LIVES LOST

SIXTEEN SERIOUSLY HURT WHEN
APARTMENT HOUSE
BURNS.
No One Had Time To Dress, and
There Was Much Suffering
From Exposure-A Fe-
male Hero.

Boston.-Seven persons were killed,
16 seriously injured, 21 families, total
ing IS individuals, were endangered in
an early morning fire that wrecked the
Melvin, fve-story brick apartment
house at the corner of Commonwealth
and Long avenues, in the Allston dis
trict.
Nearly all of the suites were small
kitchenette apartments in which the
occupants were trapped as the flames
raced, throughout each story. Men
women and children were standing on
window lodges shrieking for help when
the f1remen arrived. Some reached the
ground by crawling along narrow cop
ings to fre-escapes. Others managed
to reach small balconies on the front
'of the house, from which they were
taken down on fire ladders.
The fire started in the basement near
waste paper chute, and the flames
shot rapidly up through this chute and
an elevator well. The whole building
was ablaze when the firemen arrived.
A Woman Hero.
Miss May Boyd, living next door,
was the first to see the fire. While an
other .neighbor rang in an alarm Miss
Boyd rushed into the burning build
ing and rang the bells in all the suites.
The occupants were quickly reused.
Many were able to escape by the stair
ways. Others used the fire escapes in
the rear until flames made this impos-
sible. The fremen carried a number
of men and women down ladders.
Several persons jumped from upper
floors into, the life nets.
Trapped on the fourth floor Mr.. and
Mrs. Clement R. Rogers and Mrs. Robt.
Adams hastily fastened a rope from
bed-clothing and let themselves down
to the ground.
No one had time to dress, and there
was considerable suffering from ex-
posure in the chill air of the early
morning. The survivors found shelter
in nearby apartment houses.
The state police began an investiga-
ton in an effort to determine the cause
of the fire.

President Wilson ordered prac-
tically the entire Atlantic fleet to
Mexican waters.
He is determined to force a
public salute to the American
flag from the Huerta govern
ment as an apology for the ar
rest of American blue-jackets at
Tampico last Thursday.
No specified time was set in
which the Huerta government
must comply.
While the ships are under way

American demands.
Rear-Admiral Badger will rank
both Rear-Admiral Fletcher and
Rear-Admiral Mayo and will take
complete charge of the situation
at Tampico.
Future developments depend
upon Huerta himself.
The Huerta government dis
puted the rights of American
bluejackets to be ashore at Tam
pico and contended that its
recent public statement of
apology was ample.
Eleven great battleships with
auxiliaries, carrying in all about
$4,000 men, will comprise the
American force off Tampico,
Negotiations with the Huerta
government have not ended and
the way is still open to General
Huerta to make amends.
Most of the American war
craft in the Pacific already are
in Mexican waters.
Twelve thousand troops are at
Texas City, Texas, where four
army transports are at anchor,
and thousands of cavalry and in
fantry are spread along the bor-
der, where they can be moved
quickly.
High Administration officials
do not expect critical develop
ments, but they are ready for any

Losses On Both Sides, 1850 Dead and
$3.50 Wounded.
Juarez, Mex.-A detailed and "ofl-
cial" narrative of the recent campaign
that gave Torreon to General Francisco
Villa and his rebel army reached here.
1t is full of facts concerning the strug-
gle.
From March 16, the day Villa set out
from Chihuahua with Torreon for his
goal, until April 2, the day Velasco and
his army evacuated, there was no pro-
crastination on the part of the insur-
gents. Revised estimates of the num-
Der of dead and wounded on both sides
show that the federals lost 1000 dead
and 2,20O wounded in the whole cam
paign, while they admit the rebels lost
$50 killed and 1,150 wounded-a total
of 1850 dead and $3.50 wounded on
both sides.
Not more than $4,000 men altogether
were engaged, the rebel authorities ad-
mitting that Velasco had 5000 and
Villa 10000. Out of this total of 49,
900, 1900 were killed or wounded or
about 27 per cent of the whole dis
abled, This is an unusual high rate
of casualties.

Snow Will Not ouench Thirst.

The water which will allay our
burning thirst augments it when con-
gealed into snow, so that it is stated
by explorers Of the Arctic regions
that the natives prefer enduring the
utmost extremity of thirst rather than
attempt to remove it by eating snow. "
Yet if the snow be melted it becomes
drinkable water. Nevertheless, al
though, if melted before entering the
mouth, it assuages thirst like other
water, when melted in the mouth it
has the opposite effect. To render
this paradox more striking, we have
only to remember that ice, which
melts more slowly in the mouth, is
very efficient in allaying thirst

FISH HATCHERY FOR STATE.
Provision Made In a Bill Reported
FaVorabIy.

FdNoFaDIy.
Washington. - Provision for the
establishment in Maryland of a special
fishery establishment, which will be
the only one of its kind in the whole
country, is made in an omnibus fish
hatchery bill that was favorably re-
ported to the House by Representative
Faison, of North Carolina, from the
Committee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries.
The bill appropriates $3.50, 900 for the
establishment of this Maryland fishery
experimental plant and for Is other
fishery plants in as many States. In
the other States the plants will be the
usual sort of fish hatchery and cuItur-
al plant. They were to cost $4,000
each as a starter. But in Maryland
the plant instead of being fish hatch
cry, will be devoted to the study Of
diseases and problems in connection
with the propagation of fish and S4O,-
900 is the initial sum recommended for
the establishment of this plant. The
bill does not attempt to fix the location
of the plant, but leaves that to the dis
cretion of Secretary Redfeld.
Tie Maryland project is based on
the provisions of a bill introduced by
representative Frank o. Smith. of the
Fifth Maryland District. The report
filed contains letter from Secretary
Redtield, of the Department of Com
merce, stating that the proposal to
establish an experimental station for
the study of fish diseases and fish
propagation" as provided for in the
Smith bill, is strongly indorsed.
In his letter favoring this Maryland
station Secretary Redfield said: Fish
culture has reached such high degree
of perfection in the United States. and
the magnitude of the operations as a
whole leaves little to be desired. There
is, however, much room for effective
work in fish culture similar to that con-
Quoted in animal and plant industry at
agricultural experimental stations. and
one of the greatest needs of the service
is an experimental station for the
study of fish diseases and the propaga.
tion OF fish breeding.
.'The matter of improving the food
and game qualities of fishes bv select.
i've breeding is a subject to which prac-
ttcally no attention has yet been given
in this country, but the possibilities are
alluring and the project is well worthy
of support from Congress in view of
the great improvements that have been
produced in domestic animals and
plants by the application of scientific
methods.
THE serious aspect of disease among
cultivated fishes has frequently been
set forth in the Bureau of Fisheries re-
ports and brought directly to the at
tention of Congress. An experimental
station would, no doubt, pay for itself
every year in the actual money value
of fish, saved that are now lost at the
Matching stations all over the country
because of lack of knowledge of the
proper means for preventing and
curing the various destructive maladies
to which domesticated or semido-
mesticated fish are liable
