ROOSEVELT PLANS
Big NAVAL RESERVE
Acting Secretary Has Scheme for
Organizing Trained Men
for Navy.

The organization Of q large naval re-
serve. both of men and material, and the
application of the Plattsburg method Of
training. Is proposed in a plan made pub
lie by Acting Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt yesterday afternoon. The plan
Is essentially Secretary Roosevelt's work.
The plan is divided into four divisions.
part of which already are cared for by
Congressional legislation Of last year.
The first section Of the plan involves a
reserve of retired officers and former en-
listed men. this group to be available for
Immediate service in time Of war with
flrst-line ships. This reserve. after two
months operation under the law, has only
ITO enlisted men. but the officers have
been organized for some time.
The second line Of reserves is initiated
largely by the new plan. It involves the
coordination of the Coast Guard-Rev-
enue Cutter and Life-saving services
the Lighthouse Service. Coast Survey.
State naval militia. harbor police. etc. in
to one service. with a little training which
would make it possible for them to be
turned to use by the navy on very short
notice.
The third classification, suggested by
the Navy Department. involves "volun-
teer civilians, particularly Of special
training which would be of use to the
navy in time of national peril" OF this
type the department hopes for a reserve
of 5000 officers and men.
The fourth part of the plan involves the
listing Of all merchant shipping. auxil-
larry boats, launches. ETC., and the train
ing of their owners under Section of
the plan. 1t is proposed to use these ships
for protection from submarine attack.

In State Department
Dispatches.

Plans for continuation within a few
| days of the conference on the Mexican
| situation between Secretary of State
Lansing. Paul Fuller, jr.. and the Latin
American diplomats are being made at
the State Department. No answer has
| come az yet from Carranza to the peace
proposals of the conference, and a favor
| sion Of the conference will be held in
New York. probably next week.
Dispatches received at the State De-
partment yesterday were to the effect
that the Carranza garrisons at Frertera
and San Juan Bautista, in the state of
Tabasco, just south of the Vera Crux
border. have revolted. The Carranza
governor and other officials escaped to
Vera Cruz.
The villa agency reported chat an in
vasion of Southeastern Chihuahua by
Carranza troops had been repulsed and
the invaders driven over the border into
the state of Sinaola.
Advices indicate that bands of Mexi-
| cans south of tt border are still active.
Gen. Funston reported that bandits
burned railway trestle fourteen miles
| south of Brownsville early yesterday.
About the same time civilians in an au-
| tomobile were fired upon. No one was
injured. Two army aeroplanes that
ascended near the Mexican border in the
vicinity of Brownsville were fired upon
from the Mexican side. but no one was
injured.
In behalf of the Brazilian Minister to
Mexico. Mr.. Cardoso de Oliveira, who
sails for Rio tomorrow. it was denied yes
terday that he declared to friends in
Washington that armed Intervention by
the United States offers the only solution
Of the Mexican problem. This statement
was made:
THE Minister has made 1t q strict rule
not to speak Of the Mexican situation to
anybody except the Secretary of State
and the Brazilian Ambassador. since his
arrival in the United States"

1T il not true that have had any dis
agreement with the first chief regarding
