 She went to the river with the wine and water of her christening sponsors trick ling in rivulets down her bow from two broken bottles that swung. bound to- gether by a long red, white and blue cord of twisted silk ribbons. Miss Esther Ross of Prescott Ariz., the sponsor, made a fair throw as the big hull quivered and slid slowly forward, the froth of the wine bespattering her gown and the clothing of those in her party.
 From the navy yard black with a holi- day throng from the spans of the Brook lyn and Williamsburg bridges, from the docks and piers along the Manhattan and Brooklyn water fronts; from scores of craft hugging the faraway shore of the East river. and from every vantage point of window and housetop in the vicinity, many tens of thousands saw the newest of American battleships glide down the ways.

In a moment the signal was echoed from scores of steamers In the river, and their below was taken up and swollen by the salute of almost every steamer in the harbor till the crashing of the six navy bands was lost in the din.
 The crowd tip-toed and looked expec- tantly at the big hull; the bands united In playing '"The Star Spangled Banner the

 She settled gracefully in the water and carried forward by the weight of her 13.0Ot tons, swung far over in the river toward the Williamsburg bridge. A fleet of little navy tugs, dwarfed by her towering form scurried after her, drew alongside. made fast. and soon started back with the un. wieldly captive toward the navy yard docks.
 From the grandstand the christening was witnessed by Secretary Daniels army and navy officers and representatives oi the city of New York, including Mayor Mitchell. After the launching Secretary Daniels was the guest at luncheon at tho navy yard.

Cabinet Crisis at Vera Cruz Causes Split Between the C0nstitutionalist Leader and General Obregon
A NEW MEXICAN PROBLEM ARISES
 IN SINGLE NIGHT
Villa Commander WillM sist Landing .sclo < ''e Protec 9 Q. 'ss0o o.,s in the Yaqui -..ulan District

Washington, June 1e.--Gen. Venus Mexican constitutionaIist movement, Is face to face with n situation that may eliminate him ms q factor in Mexican politics unless he yields to the dicta- ton of his commanding general, AL vnro obregon, and other high officers in his army.
 Official advices today revealed that four of Carranza' s cabinet ministers had resigned and that General Obregon was insisting on their retention as we'll as the dismissal of the members to whom they were opposed.
 Word also same to the American gov crnment that Gen. Jose Maytorena, the Villa commander in Sonora. objected vigorously to the possible landing of American marines to rescue Americans in the Yaqui valley, indicating that he would regard such action as hostile invasion. Inasmuch as Maytorena prom ised to send troops to the region to pro- tect foreigners the American govern ment which had decided to land marines only if absolutely necessary, it is un- derstood, will consider the incident closed with the arrival of the Maytorcna troops.
 Cabinet Crisis
 The situation in the Yaqui valley was overshadowed, however, by the cabinet crisis at Vera Cruz, where a new an gle to the entire Mexican problem was created almost overnight The dissen sion in the Carranza cabinet according to official reports, resulted from a. newspaper attack by one of the cabinet members on some of his colleagues; but in many quarters here 1t was believed the trouble is of lons standing and is the elimination of differences between Carranza and Obergon. which began when the latter occupied Mexico City several weeks ago.
 The fact that Obergon had tele- eraphed Carranza insisting on the re- tention of the four cabinet members Luis Cabrera, Rafael Zubaran, Escudero Verdugo and Jesus Verta-the first two of whom were in Washington for a long time as representatives of Carranza, was generally viewed as an indication of political prestige In the constution- alist movement News coming through official channels that Carranza had 1e- moved his headquarters to the old iso- lated fortress San Juan De Uloa in the harbor of Vera Cruz, spread the inn pression that he feared an uprising
