WIRELESS TALK
UNDER THE WATER
Fessenden Demonstrates Sub
marine Telephone and TeIe-
graph Invention.

BOSTON, June 4.-The water front
is agog today with actual proof of
the invention of wireless submarine
telephone and telegraph Reginald A.
Fessenden, formerly of Pittsburgh
University, demonstrated yesterday
that the spoken words of men can be
carried under the water for a CON
siderable distance, and that Morse
could be telegraphed easily ten miles.
Old sea dogs, saddened by the recent
terrible sea disasters, are eagerly
hoping for further experiments to-
day. 1t is said that had either the
Titanic or the Empress of Ireland
been equipped with this apparatus
$500 lives would have been saved.
Professor Fessenden demonstrated
his invention to a few friends. In
the test the voice sounded clear and
sharp. Morse messages were sent at
increasing distances until ten miles
were reached. The inventor, however.
claims he has been successful at
thirty-one miles.
Persons on boats in the harbor
were amazed to hear sounds coming
from the ocean. The new invention
consists of a two-foot reproducing
disk, sending forth vibrations of a
copper cylinder moving at the speed
of 5000 vibrations a minute.

Report That Mexicans
Act Friendly Towards
Americans at Mazatlan

ON BOARD U. S. S. CALIFORNIA,
MAzATLAN, Mexico, May 25. Via
san FranciscoS, June 3.-Anti-Ameri-
can demonstrations in Mazatlan have
ceased and a noticeable change in
the attitude of the Mexican people to-
ward Americans has recently been
manifested.
Gradually the Mexicans have come
to believe IN the sincerity of the strict
neutrality maintained by Rear-Ad-
miral Howard and the war vessels of
the Pacific fleet under his command
which are stationed in the port,
This new feeling of friendliness,
whether genuine or assumed, is well
reflected in the newspapers of Mazat-
Ian. Their old tone of sarcasm and
criticism has largely disappeared and
in some instances Americans are
spoken of with praise.
American officers returning from
visits ashore have been struck with
the manifest improvement of spirit
on the part of the Mexicans, but feel
ing is still somewhat strained and &C.
casionally there is a small fiare-up
of anita gonism.
