Secretary Of Navy Authorizes 6
War Ship to Transport Money
to Mexico for This Purpose.

Washington, D. c., March 23.-An
American warship will take money to
Yucatan to finance the movement Of
Mexico's sisal hemp crop needed to
make twine for binding of the enor-
nous wheat crop of the United States.
The money, $625,O0O in currency,
which the manufacturers propose to
advance hemp growers, is in bank
vaults at Galveston. Secretary Dan
iels agreed to permit use of warship
for that purpose after hearing the
statement by representative of sisal
purchasers who outlined the difficult
ties encountered.
Since the United States prevented
Carranza blockading Progresso, where
250,000 bales of Sisal hemp was ready
for shipment the chief obstacles Of
moving the supply have been scarcity
of labor and shipping facilities. With
the arrival of American money it is
expected an immediate improvement
will result. Concerning conditions at
the Mexican capital, Bryan said no
serious complaint had been received
recently. Reports indicated that OBJ
regon with Carranza force arrived
fifty mics north of Mexico City. Car
rama troops at Matamoras in trench
es are expecting an attack by Villa
forces who are about forty miles from
the city.
