PRACTICALLY A WARNING
Communication to carranza Reported
to Be an Entire Change Of Policy
at Washington.

Washington.-New and urgent rep.
reservations, amounting to practically
a warning, have been sent by the
United States to Gen. Carranza, de.
manding an improvement of condi.
tions in Mexico City.
Diplomatists familiar with the con.
tents OF the note which American Con.
sui Silliman has been instructed to
present to Carranza interpret II as an
entire change OF policy on the part
of the Washington government to.
ward the Mexican situation.
The communication to Carranza.
drafted after conference between
President Wilson, Secretary Bryan
and Counsellor Lansing, was guarded
with secrecy pending some word from
Carranza and to his attitude.
1t was said by some officials that
the note contained the strongest rep
reservations ever made to Carranza,
and indicates that the American gov
eminent is rapidly losing patience
with his indifference to the objection

terest to the farmers of Hardeman

Neel of the Southern Agricultural, and
Mr.. Roberts of the West Tennessee

FLASH RECEIVED 200 MILES
French Liner La Touralne On Fire
Flames Gotten Under Control and
Arrival at HaVre Reported.

Paris.-Fire which threatened the
French steamship La Touraine has
been controlled and all the vessels
passengers are safe on board, accord
ing to a formal announcement issued
by the Compagnie Generate Trans-At-
lantique. owner Of the liner.
When the first call for help was
flashed across the sea the French liner
was afire 700 miles across the French
port Steamers picked upon the flash
and then began a race for her side,
which has not been equaled since the
news was flashed through the air that
the Titanic was sinking. The rescue
ileet included the Rotterdam, Swan
more, Cornishman and Arabic.
The Arabic, 300 miles away, was
nearest to the burning vessel. Her cap
tain pushed the ship to her top speed
in an effort to cover the distance in
record time. It would have required
Is hours for the slow White Star liner
to have reached the distressed ship.
But the Rotterdam, from New York
February q, had also picked up the
message, and, although an almost
equal distance from La Touraine as
the Arabic, she was able by her great
er speed to reach the burning steamer
first.
With the arrival Of the Rotterdam
the other liners were notified that their
assistance would not be required, and
continued on their way
La Touraine is proceeding under her
own steam to Havre. Only the Rotter.
dam Of the fleet which responded to
wireless call for aid is standing by to
give assistance should any be required.
Commanders of other vessels which
speeded to the rescue have been in
formed their services will not be re-
quired.
1t was feared for time that 1t
might be necessary to transfer the pas
sengers to another ship to avoid dan
ger, but this plan evidently was aban-
doned when 1t was seen the blaze was
being mastered.
Grave fears for the safety of La
Touraine were felt in this city until
the positive announcement was made
that she was in no danger. Several
newspapers suggested that the fire
might have been started by spies, who
had concealed themselves on board.
London.-A message to Lloyd's from
Havre announces the arrival of La
Touraine at that port. When last re-
ported La Touraine was 1900 miles
from Havre with cargo afire and much
anxiety expressed on account of her
cargo consisting Of ammunition for
the allies.

CARRANZA's ORAL STATEMENT
TAKEN AS FORECAST OF
FORMAL ANSWER.
SUPPLIES NOT SENT AWAY
Consul siIliman Gets Statement.
Washington Thinks Sentiment 10
FavorabIe--No Delay In Send
ing Warships to Vera Cruz.

Washington-Gen Carranza has
made preliminary reply to the new
American representations, denying
generally the existence Of conditions
in Mexico City, which the United
States called on him to improve.
In a statement, made orally to
American Consul Silliman at Vera
Cruz, which was laid before Presi-
dent Wilson and the cabinet, the Mex
lean chief denied that Gen. 0bregon,
his commander in Mexico City, had
prevented food reaching the Mexican
capital, or that he had sent supplies
away.
Carranza's oral statement was TAX
en- in official quarters to forecast the
tenor of his formal answer now be-
Ing drafted. II generally was regarded
in administration quarters as favor
able, and as an indication that Carran-
"a would no longer approve any incon-
venienoe to foreigners. Meanwhile,
however, orders went forward to Rear
Admiral Fletcher, commanding the At
lantic feet at Guantanamo, to send
two more battleships to Vera Cruz
Carranza promised an early formal
reply, Mr.. Silliman reported. Eliseo

resentatiye of Carranza, and other ad-
visers, we're present during the confer
ence. Mr.. Silliman reported at length,
but officials did not disclose the con.
tents Of his message,
Consul Silliman's dispatches from
Vera Cruz saying the American note
was formally presented to Gen. Car
rama In person, arrived just before
the cabinet meeting.
The administration began taking
steps to carry out what most of the
foreign diplomatic corps here interpret
as an entire change of attitude toward
the whole Mexican situation.
Admiral Fletcher selected the ar
mored cruiser Washington, now in
Haitien waters with Rear Admiral Ca
perton, and the battleship Georgia,
commanded by Capt. Robert h. Coontz,
now at Guantanamo.
No request had come from any for
eign government, the president said.
for action by the United States in
Mexico, although diplomatic represent
atives of two foreign countries had
expressed their anxiety over affairs in
the southern republic.

have occupied Mexico City and had

The contest was disappointing to
those who love a fight. The uncer-

in view of the many candidates, the
refusal of many to pledge themselves,
the refusal of others to indicate
whether or not they would go into
caucus was entirely dispelled.
