NEGOTIATIONS
FOR SHIPS MUST
WAIT ON SENATE
Administration Does Not Intend
to Be Drawn Into Discussion
With Foreign Nations Be-
fore Bill Is Passed,

Washington, Jan 31.--The United
States government does not intend Ia
be drawn into any negotiation or dis
cussion with foreign governments rs
to whether or not IL has the right 10
buy belligerent ships, until the bill
pending in the senate is enacted into
law and there is a decision as 10
where the purchases are to be made.
Believing that no foreign power has
any ground for surprising that In pur-
chasing ships any unneutral act would
be committed, no protests are expect
ed In advance Of action by the Ameri-
can government.
This was made clear on the highest
authority tonight after the return If
Secretary Bryan to the capital. 1t
became known also, although the sec
rotary himself declined to make any
statement, that neither he nor any
other official of the American gov
eminent had asked for or received
the views formally or informally OF
belligerent governments on the pend
ing shipping bill.
mot only Great Britain but France
as well has given the American gov
eminent their views on changes of
registry in connection with the va
rlous phases of the question that have
developed since the outbreak of the
war with the selling of the Brindilla
and the purchase of the Dacia, which
sailed today from Galveston on test
voyage, with non-contraband cargo
for neutral port. But in accord
ance with diplomatic usage, the state
department does not consider that
anything that may have been said by
foreign governments in special cases
of transfer of flag or on the general
subject applies to the purposes of the
pending bill, because the United
States government would be a party
to the transaction wherefor in all
previous cases considered. private in
dividuals alone have figured.
While no formal expressions have
come from Great Britain or France
or Russia, it is believed In many well
informed quarters that an equal dis
tributon of the American govern
ments purchases among British,
French, German and Austrian ships
would not meet with serious objoc-
ton by the belligerents.

In country where, IN the past,
picturesque characters have been the
rule rather than the exception, II Is
doubtful If u more picturesque ehar-
acter than Blfego Baca ever lived. A
man of undoubted courage, he has
lived through some of the most stir
ring events in the history Of New
Mexico, and there have been many
occasions when his nerve Was put TO
supreme test.
1t Is generally believed that there
are several notches ON the EliegJ

DAC|A SAILS
WITH CARGO FOR
R0TTERDAMP0RT
British Government Is Expect
ed to Seize Vessel on Ground
That Recent Transfer Is
Not Bona Eide.

Galveston, Tex, Jan. 81 - The
steamship Dacia departed at noon to-
day from Galveston for Rotterdam
with 1000 bales of cotton to be
trans-shlpped to Bremen.
Telegraphic orders to get under
way were received by Captain George
Mcdonald from f.. n. Brelting of New
York, the owner In two hours the
vessel had taken on a pilot and was
outside the harbor.
The Dacia cleared January 90. Her
delay here Is yet unexplained and her
agent and master said they did not
know why she was waiting. The Da-
cia's cotton cargo is valued by the
shippers at SSS0,000, or sixteen cents
a pound laid down in Bremen.
The sailing of the Daca today is
expected to add another chapter to
the International incident which was
begun when The former Hamburg
American line steamer was trans
ferred from German to American
registry shortly after the vessel was
informed at Fort Arthur, Tex, follow
ing the outbreak Of the European
war.
Her new owners announced that
the Dacia was bought with the intcn-
ton of engaging in the cotton trade
with Germany, but immediate oppo-
stion from the British government
caused the destination Of the vessel
to be changed from Bremen TO Rot
terdam, neutral port. The United
States government asked the British
government il safe conduct would bel
given the Dacia to carry one cargo,
of cotton to Rotterdam to help the
cotton situation the vessel then to
return to the United states. This pro-
posal brought reply that the vesse
itself must be considered contra band
by the British who have not recog-
nized the legality of her transfer to
American registry in time of war, but
that every facility would be afforded
TO have the cotton reach its destina-
ton. 1t was said the cargo would be
transferred to another steamer for
shipment to Rotterdam. il the Dacia
was seized
Seizure of the steamer is expected
to result in prize court proceedings
and diplomatic representations that
may be of far reaching Importance.

without a parallel In the history OF
the pioneer days Of New Mexico. Mr.
Baca barricaded himself in the shack,
and in order TO get out of range oil
the bullets that were poured In upon
him dug hole in the dirt floor deep
enough to afford him comparative Sc
curty The siege lasted for two days
during which Mr. l3aca had nothing
to eat or drink, ana the little 'dobe
shack was literally perforated with
bullets Finally the besieglng party
themselves were forced to withdraw
to obtain food, and Mr., Baca escaped.
As an attorney Mr. Baca has had a
very conspicuous career He was at
ono time district attorney for the
territorial district In which SOcorro
county was located but perhaps his
most pronounced professional success
was as attorney for the Socorro county
cattlomen's association, In which ca
pacity he Is said practically TO have
broken up horse stealing in that
county.
Mr. Baca's career in politics and
his various unsuccessful attempts TO
be- elected to the national house OF
representatives from New Mexico are
matters of recent history In the first
campaign for state offices he was
nominated by the republican partAt
together with former Gov George
Curry for congress, but while Curry
was elected Baca was defeated. Again
last summer he made a spectacular
but Unsuccessful attempt 10 secure
the republican nomination, the choice
Of the convention falling upon Con-
grcssman-elect y. G. Hernandez.

DEFENSE OF sAi4NZAit MADE
lIACA AN ENEMY IN VILLA

The fact that Mr. Raca was Gem
eral salazar's attorney, is believed to
have inspired Villas hostility to-
ward him. Mr.. Baca secured the ac-
quittal Of Salazar upon the charge
of conspiracy 60 import arms from
the United states into Mexico, at u
time when the embargo was in force
in the federal court at Santa Fe and
represented him again when he
sought to obtain release from thein-
terne camp at Fort Wngate, ~ NJ.
through habeas corpus proceedings.
He was to have defended Salazar
upon the charge Of perjury. The trial
was set for the federal court here
last December, but Salazar escaped
from the county Jail a short time
previously
Soon after Salazar made his get
away and started up a new revolution
in Chihuahua IN opposition to both
Villa and Carranza, information
reached here that Mr. Baca was IL
able to be killed IL he happened to

will be replaced by 1-coupon tick

HE REFUSED TO LEAVE
so WIFE MOVED OUT

Hattie A. and George Stout. hus-
hand and wife, have been telling
their troubles to the county authori-
ties all day today. The story Is that
Mrs. Stout moved out the household
goods from a house on East Enter
prise street, leaving her husband
without any furniture. 1t seems that
he would not provide for her and
five children and would not leave
" hen asked to, SO she left him.
She with the family moved into
a house on Fourth and Spruce and
he then wanted to come and i've
with them but she would not allow
him to but gave him enough furni-
ture to furnish a room for himself
over the Marley grocery.
The commissioners are unable 10
do anything as they have no grounds
for lawful action and they left the
stouts to settle their own affairs.
