MEXICAN CAPITAL AT

President Wilson Studies Dis
patches on the Situation.

Washington, July 3.-Fighting for
Mexico City has been going on in the
suburbs for fifteen days. Zapata's
army and armed civilians are fercely
resisting the Carranza army's en-
trance. Gen. Raphael Pacheco of the
Zapata forces has been killed. In the
capital there is footing. All business
houses have been barricaded. The
bread line is filed daily with 100000
poor. Food is scarce. Diplomats are
trying to protect foreigners. A train
is held ready to take away officials of
the Zapata government.
President Wilson has determined to
end the anarchy which prevails in
Mexico.

which was modified month ago when
the president threatened to act unless
the leaders of the several factions in
the neighboring country got together.

ExILED FROM NATIVE LAND

Paris, July 5.-Gen. Porfirio Diaz,
former president of Mexico, died here
on Friday. General Diaz' wife, Sonora
Carmen Romero Rubio Diaz, and their
son, Porfirio Diaz, Jr., and the latter's
wife were at the bedside.
About three weeks ago General
Diaz began to fail rapidly and while
his death was not unexpected, owing
to his advanced age and recent fail
ing health, the crisis came suddenly
Friday afternoon. Colonel Diaz, Jr.,
In announcing the death of his father,
said that he was unable to state the
nature of malady, but expressed the
opinion that the cause was a complica-
ton of diseases, due to advanced age.
Pcrflrio Diaz was Mexico when
there was Mexico. When on May
81, 1911, he fed the western hemi-
sphere in the face of Francisco /.
Madero's rising revolution Mexico
started on the wild orgy of disinte-
grafton that now is spending itself
in anarchy. Loosed from the iron
hand,the nation blew up
Before Theodore Roosevelt was born
Diaz was an apostle of the Big Stick
and its effective accompaniment of
the soft voice. For 35 years he ruled
Mexico, all of that time, with the ex-
ception of four years, as it's president.
Under his dominance the country was
an inviting spot for American capital,
an invasion which he encouraged with
the wisdom of a statesman and true
economist.
His military career, however, had
begun when he took up arms against
the United States. Diaz was born at
Oaxaca, September Is, 1880. His
mother was an Indian and his father
was of old Spanish lineage. The ia
Their died when Porfrio was three
years old and he was educated at the
expense of the bishop of Oaxaca. He
intended to become priest, but
when the war with the United States
broke out he enlisted, at the age of
sixteen
At time when defeat meant death
young Diaz cast his lot with Juarez
in the revolution which in 1854
brought about the downfall of Santa
Ana, the one-legged dictator.
His study of military science stood
him well, and his campaigns were a
succession of victories until, in 1876,
he marched into the City of Mexico
at the head of 10000 men and was
elected president of the republic al
most unanimously.
Assuming the presidency again in
1884, he remained in office until his
resignation in 1911.

NINETEEN AMERICANS DIE
ON TORPEDOED STEAMER
man Submarine-Carried Cargo
of Mules for England.

Washington, July 2.-The British,
owned steamship Armenia of the
Leyland line was torpedoed and sunk
by the German submarine U-38 20
miles west of Trevose head, Cornwall.
England, on Tuesday night, and a
number of Americans were lost. The
information came in dispatches to the
state department.
The official count says that 20 men
were lost and ten injured and give a
list of American citizens, white and
colored, who were crossing with the
ship.
The Armenian sailed from Newport
News June II with a cargo of mules
consigned to Avonmouth, west coast
of England, for the English army.
The facts in the case as obtained
from Consul Armstrong at Bristol and
to the character of the vessel were
telegraphed to the president at Corn
ish, N. H.
State department officials do not re-
gard the information now at hand as
sufficient on which to express an opin,
ion and especially on which to make
intelligent representation to Germany.
The department therefore cabled to
Ambassador Page to send on at once
all the details he could secure,
The main point in the case of the
Armenian is whether she is an actual
member of the British navy as troop
ship or a horse ship. She could be
such, either by having been taken
over by the government itself for that
purpose or by the government itself
having chartered the ship, and there
fore making it warship subject to
attack on sight by German war YES

Flight From Foe-Dead

London, July THE big British
steamship Anglo-Californian limped
into Queenstown harbor a veritable
noating shambles after having outrun
German submarine. Her wireless
apparatus, her bridge and upper works
shot away, her tunnels pierced and
her docks Uttered with dead and dy-
ing, she accomplished the feat.
She was laden with transport ami

The others of the crew who shared
his fate, were, like the captain, horri-
bly, mutilated. The dead number IL.
Eight others were desperately wound
ed.
The Anglo-Californian is a staunch
steel ship of 1888 tons, and is owned
by the Nitrate Producers Steamship
company, Ltd. She was built three
years ago and is $50 feet long.
While the crew was largely British,
Americans and Canadians were in
charge of the cargo of horses.
The attack on the Anglo-Californian
began almost twenty-four hours be-
fore she reached port and continued
four hours. The submarine signaled
p command for her to lay to. In
stead, the captain gave the order full
steam ahead, and the most dramatic
struggle of the submarine blockade of
the United Kingdom was on.
Reports of the sinking of five more
merchant ships were received in Lon
don.
