Bartlett's Reef but Gull Island. which is
directly across the entrance into the

MEDIATORS AWAITING
REPLY FROM CARRANZA
Rebel Attitude Is Outlined as
Against Interference
by Outsiders.
Don't Stop Revolution
Too Soon, Rebels Ask

Ell PAso. June Ar. V. Pesqueira,
diplomatic agent OF the Constitu-
tionalists. outlined the attitude OF
the rebels in regard to mediation to-
day in the following statement:
Mexico is entitled to clean up It's
own backyard without undue inter-
ference and without any infringement
upon its sovereignty by outsiders.
The internal AFFAIRS OF Mexico should
be dealt with by impartial Mexicans
who have the welfare OF their country
at heart. and not by persons who have
by their past records shown that they
hold their selfish interests above the
interests OF Mexico. or by foreigners
who cannot possibly understand fully
the needs OF our people.
Naturally. as a principle we are
in favor OF mediation. but we cannot
contemplate with serenity any en-
croachment upon our sovereign
rights, and the med!ators. being
sister republics, undoubtedly fully
understand this principle. No one
is more anxious than our party to
see our country again at peace and
prosperity all over the country, but
peace should not be artificial. such as
1t was under Diaz, and there Is such
a thing as stopping a reuolution too
soon.

LONDON, June 5.-The Times gives
prominence to a letter from Admiral Sir
Percy Scott. the inventor of gun car
riages and various appliances for heavy
gun shooting. in which he advocates the
cessation OF the building OF battleships.
In fact OF all warships which are not
submersible,
The Admiral says that all he has done
to enhance the value OF the gun has been
nullied by the advent of submarines.
All other types OF vessel, he says. are
destined to become obsolete because they
harbor from attack by submersibles.
Admiral Scott says he also foresees that
assuming that submarine vessel cannot
fight submarine boat sea warfare will
end altogether. a couple of airships
aeroplanes and submarines, the Admiral
says, will be as useful an big warships
He goes 30 far az 10 say that the Admir-
atty is now wasting the nations money In
building ships that will not be able TO
fight. He urges the construction OF an
enormous fleet of submarines and air craft
and a few fast cruisers. provided IL will

be safe In war time.
