Four hundred ranches have been taken up since last May in the Matan- uska country and twenty people came north on, the Alameda this morning to go into that country to settle down on farms.

J. s. WARSHIPS
 FOR VERA CRUZ
TWO MORE RUSHED AND CARRANZA IS
 WARNED.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Two more United States battlesaips were ordered to Vera Cruz today 70 enforce the warning sent to Carrarza. This makes three warships now on the way to the Mexican port that was 50 re- gently occupied by American troops. The state department this morning issued a further warning to Carranza and he was told that if the warning was not needed this country would at once take steps to compel him to do so. In answer to the previous warn ing Carranza issued general denial that the conditions in Mexico City are so bad as they were reported to be. He declares that exaggerated reports have been sent out by interested part ies for the sole purpose of securing interference of the United States gov ernment in Mexico's affairs. It is thought here that President Wilson will again send an agent to Mexico to investigate the matter directly.

Extraordinary Revelations in Grand Jury Probe Into the
 Election.

CHICAGO, March 9.-For twenty
 five cents, or a meal, or a nights lodg- ing votes were bought in the recent election if the testimony before the grand jury here yesterday can be be- lieved. The chief witnesses were four men who were officials in the election and who were in the very best posi- tiOns to learn the inside facts. The jury began probing the matter before it was expected although it was be- lieved that the stories floating around after the election could have no other result than bringing about the investi- gatiOn. Many other sensational facts are said to have been brought out and it is likely that the election will be thrown out.

FIERCE DARDANELLES FIGHT

PARIS March 9-The bombardment of the Dardan- eles by the allied fleet has become fierce conflict Two more Turkish forts have been senced but is admitted that many of the ships of the bombardng fleet have been hit by shells There is no announcement of the deStuc tOn of any of the vessels but it is thought hardly likely that they can all escape confined theyare in the narrow limits of the channel continuous bombardment is be- ing kept up by the allied ships from the gulf of SarOs north of the Dardanees and it hoped that land force can be disembarked there to march the Dardaneles across the narrow strip of land dividing the two sheets of water The authorities here believe that the forcing of the Dardanees is perfectly feasible although there is great danger of severe losses to the fleet engaged The lOss however would be accepted gladly by France if Constan tinOple could only be captured

GREECE WEARS VERGE

ATHENS, March 9.-M Zaimas, governor of the bank Greece has refused the offer of the king to form new ministry and the situation believed to be critical The intention of the king evidently to form ministry of men who would be most likely opposed to because business reasons and this intention caused him to select
 banker whose interests would be vtay affected by disturbance The general feeling seems to be growing in favor of war on the side of the allies that Greece might have voice in the settlement in Turkey and the Balkans generally. AS matters stand now some remarkable change may come at any time but the king is apparently entirely opposed to war and for that IS becoming
 unpopular with the great number of people who favor the declaration of hOstilities.
