APPEAL TO UNITED STATES
FOR PROTECTION.
MUCH DISORDER
Looting Of Stores and Houses at Pan
uco, In the Heart Of Rich Oil
Fields, Occurs Daily-vnIa
Approaching Capital.

Washington, D. C.-The disinte-
grafton of the political situation and
lack of restraining and responsible
authority is greater than at any per-
iod in the four years of Mexican
troubles, according to advices reach
ing Washington.
Late reports received officially an
nounced that the town of Panuco, in
the heart of the Tampieo oil district,
had been evacuated by Carranza fore
es, fearing the approach of Villa
troops, and that the town was taken
possession of by irresponsible irregu-
lars, declared to be no better than
bandits. Looting of stores and hous.
es in the town has already occurred.
The United States has the monitor
Ozark in the Pancuo River at lamp
leo, and 1t is thought likely that she
will be moved as close as possible
to Panuco, 1t was thought probable
the appeals would be made to the
United States on behalf of the British,
Dutch and American oil interests in
the district for the landing Of blue
jackets to protect the immensely valu.
able properties there, but the present
indications are that such an appeal
will be fatty refused by the admins
tration.
At Vera Cruz C~arranza has estab-
lished his government, according to
official adyices. 1t became known
that shooting has occurred on several
nights since the occupation of Vera
Cruz by Carranza forces, and that
disorders have also occurred. These
are said not to be serious, however.
According to latest available Of
ficial reports, Villa has halted his
progress toward the City of Mexico
and has stopped at Tula, about 40
miles away, for a stay of several
days, in which to Organize his
forces" Though it was reported from
the border unofficially that Villa en-
tered the City of Mexico, official dis
patches indicated that his entry
would be considerably delayed.

Expected to Disregard c~arranza's
Reported Demand for Recall 6a.
of BattieshIps.

Washington, D. C.-Mexico took
a further plunge into di~sintegration
when Maj. Gen. Pablo Gonzaes, ac-
cording to a report to the state de,
partment, declared himself provision.
al president, named a cabinet and
took up arms under the cry of "Con-
stitution and Reform"
Gonzales, who is now at Pachuca
with a force of 5000 men, had been
supposed to be unswervingly loyal to
Carranza, After the Aguascalientes
convention, however, he disappeared
southwark. His army and his where
abouts since had been more or less q
mystery.
The reports from Aguascalientes
threw little light upon the latest com
plication in the Mexican situation. It
is not believed here that Gonzales,
with his comparatively small force,
will be able to interfere with the
forces of Provisional President
Gutierrez and Gen. Villa for the joint
triumphal entry into Mexico City.
Gonzales is the third Of the trio of
Carranza commanders. Villa and
Obregon were the other two. Villa
was Carran7a's commander of the
North, Obregon his commander of the
West and Gonzales the commander Of
the East
It was these three men who won
the battles that made Carranza the
chief executive of the republic.
The state department has not
heard of the reported action of Gen.
Carranza in demanding that the Amer.
lean b~attleships be withdrawn from
Vera Cruz harbor. There is little or
no likelihood that the request will
be complied with. 1t is assumed
that Carranza is up to his favorite
game of currying public favor in Mex
leo by feigning an attitude Of def
ance toward the United States.
However, the United States has
passed the point where it would go
out of its way to favor Carranza.
The troops were withdrawn be-
cause it was considered best for
American interests. There is no such
consideration, however, in connection
with the battleships, and these may,
therefore, be expected to remain in
Mexican waters.

Favors State Buying AGENT.

Gov. Major wifi lend his aid to a
bill providing for a commission to
make all the purchases for the state
institutions and providing that they
shall follow nc other occupation dur
ing their terms Of office. He estimates
q saving Of something like 100000 a
year could be effected.
AS matters now stand, each institu-
ton makes it's own purchases. There
is little similarity between the prices
paid for the different commodities, a
fact not due to any Of the institutions
seeking to gouge the state, but be-
cause they are situated widely apart
and their wants are not the same.
There are rs state institutions.

FIGHT on Spells system.

The political spoils system alleged
to be in effect in the management of
Missouri eleemosynary institutions is
coming in for a hard rap at the hands
of the Republicans during the coming
session of the legislature.
Charles M. Hay, representative of
Galloway county in the last legisla-
ture, struck a blow at the system in
the F~orty-seventh general assembly.
Hays bill found but little favor in the
legislature and none at all with Gov.
Major, who was then busily cleaning
the Republicans out of the institu-
tons.
Hay proposed in his measure to Gre
ate bipartisan boards and to give no
governor a chance to appoint more
than one-half of the members of such
boards during his term. This was to
make the boards of management indie
pendent of the governor in the selec-'
tion of employees and officers.

London, Nov. 27.-The battleship
Bulwark of Great Britain was blown
UP and sunk in the estuary of the
Midway river. Between 700 and 800
men were lost, including Capt. Guy
Belater, her commander, and all her
officers. Only IA of her crew we're
saved.
1t is announced officially that the ex-
plosion was interior and originated in
the ships magazine.
The disaster is the most appalling,
with the exception of the loss of the
Audacious, the British navy has suf-
fered in war. The men aboard her
had not a fighting chance for their
lives. The boat sank il three min
utes.
The band was playing aboard the
Bulwark. Near her were anchored
several other ships.
Churchill Announces Disaster.
Suddenly a terrific explosion oc-
CURED in the bowels of the ship. A
great cloud of smoke arose, ~envelop-
ing the Bulwark and shutting her from
sight. A great white fash of fire
streaked through the black veil; the
smoke cloud thickened and rolled out
ward and upward.
Announcement of the loss of the Bull
ARK in Sheerness harbor was made
In the house Of commons by Winston
Churchill, first lord of the admiralty.
Only Twelve Are Saved.
Mr.. Churchill's official statement fol-
lows:
THE battleship Bulwark was lying
in the harbor at Sheerness when she
was blown up. The disaster occurred
at 1853 o'clock in the morning. The
ship was torn absolutely asunder and
had entirely disappeared when the
smoke cleared away. 1t is the opinion
of the admirals at Sheerness that the
ship was destroyed by an explosion of
the magazine. Only IA members of
the crew were saved. The destruction
Of the Bulwark will not sensibly af-
feet u military or naval position"
Chief Loss Is In Men.
The Bulwark was of Is, 900 tons dis
placement. 1t was laid down in 1889
and completed in 1902. 1t was All feet
long, rs feet wide, and drew 20 feet
of water. Its armament consisted of
four 12-inch guns, 10 6-inch guns, 16
12-pounders, six 3-pounders and four
submerged torpedo tubes. 1t had a
complement of $50 men. 1T cost $780,
900.
Although too old to be any. longer
in the first fighting line, the Bulwark
still was a useful unit. The loss of the
ship, however, was nothing compared
with the heavy loss in trained officers
and men. The Bulwark in its early ca
reer was quite a favored ship. For
a long time 1t was the flagship of Ad-
miral Charles Beresford in the Medi-
terranean.
