M0RGAN'S YACHT MEETS HIM

NEW YORK, July 5.--The Ameri-
can line steamer ST. Louis arrived
here today from Liverpool. 1t was
escorted down the st. George chan
mel by two torpedo boat destroyers
to a distance west of Daunts Rock,
probably owing to the presence on
board of Mr.. d. A. Thomas, the Brit
ish capitalist and coal operator.
Thomas comes here to supervise and
expedite the production of munitions
for the allies.
| The two destroyers remained with the
st. Louis two days and nights, 1t was
said, and did not leave 1t till the war
zone was cleared.
When the st. Louis docked here Mr..
Thomas was met at the pier by Sir Cecil

there can be but one ending-Germany

no criticisms of the manner in which
Morgan has fulfilled his contracts. What
criticisms there has been was chiefly In
Canada and was TO the effect that Can

Campaign to Prevent Any Con-

ADMIRAL ADVISES CAUTION

BERLIN, July 5,-(Via London.)
All the naval publicists Of Ger
many hitherto heard from have been
devoting their energies to aocelerat-
ing public opinion against any modi-
fication of the submarine campaign
and endeavoring to prevent. or to
limit. concessions to American de-
mands in the forthcoming German
note to Washington.
The campaign between the advo-
Gates and the opponents of a COM
promise still is intense and delivery
of the note which a few days ago
was scheduled for Monday or Tues
day will probably be delayed several
days.
II IL hoped by those who favor a
compromise. that these days Of additional
consideration will produce a change in
the attitude OF the naval party. whose
views thus far have been opposed -

ously in these dispatches.
In all probability the reply will EN-.
body proposals to exempt ships em-
ployed wholly or principally in passen-
ger traffic from submarine attacks,
though making them subject to stoppage
and examination. The naval party, how
ever, has been bringing heavy pressure
TO bear upon the ministers engaged in
consideration Of the answer.

FEDERAL OFFICIALS ARE ACTIVE

Ell PASO, Tex, July 5.-The pos
sibility of additional arrests growing
out of the alleged plot to launch a
new revolution in Mexico by Victor
iano Huerta and those in custody
with him was the central feature of
interest here today. Although nom
inally federal offices were closed in
cident to the celebration of Inde-
pendence day, federal officers spent
a busy day pursuing their investiga-
ton and preparing for the prelimi-
nary hearing next Monday of Huerta
and others under arrest. 1t was be-
iieved that General Huerta and five
others confined in Jail late Saturday
would arrange bond of $4,000 each
tomorrow. However, 1t was equally
certain that If released from Jail they
would be kept under close surveil-
lance.
| ]. L. Camp, United States attorney for
the West Texas district, who arrived last
night, conferred with federal officers
there and assumed such supervision Of the
| legal phases OF the case. 1t was under
stood that the activities OF the federal
officers continued to develop new evil
dence which subsequently might lead to
other arrests.
Probable Plan of Action.
Officials were silent as to their plans.
The customary procedure In such cases
| would be to bind Huerta over to the fed
ehal court at San Antonio, II basis for
| such action Is found at the preliminary
hearing. This probably would result in
| Huertas removal to San Antonio or
some other point removed from the
border pending trial at the next regular
term of the district court in December
Should 1t be desirable to keep him under
closer surveillance than II released on
bond 1t would be impossible for the i'm
migration authorities to detain Huerta
for deportation, in which event the law
requires that he be safely held" prob
ably In Jail

would take no action on the reouisitior
! for the extradition OF General Huerts
until he has been officially advised from
Washington that the Villa governor OF

proper person to request extraditlon.

him to act on this requisition might fur

which Holt had lost from the wound oveI
his eve.
Two stitches had peen taken in this
wound, but the flow OF blood was moi
entirely checked. When the wound waI
