ish low through rates from mines in

WASHINGTON RESENTS
NOTE AS OFFENSIVE"

Washington, June 1.-Carranza's
note, demanding the withdrawal of
American troops, has brought no
change in the determination of Pres
ident Wilson to maintain the pres
emit troops dispositions until Carranza
has demonstrated his ability to stop
bandit raids. It is stated authori-
tatively today that Pershing's forces
would remain until that time ar
rived. A reply will be made to Car
rama, but its form is not determined
upon.
1t is expected that this will delay
the reply and it probably will not go
forward for ten days.
It is understood that portions of the
note are regarded as highly offensive
by Washington. It is said to be
doubtful if the United States govern
ment ever received note couched in
so offensive terms and with such
fragrant violations of diplomatic use
as this 1900 word arraignment of the
United States good faith and honesty
of purpose.

This Turtle Is
Bigger Than a

Eight hundred and sixty-five
pounds was what this turtle
weighs. Of course, they couldn't
put him in the boat, so they towed
him to the dock here.
The crew of fishermen that found
His Turtleship weren't able to
capture him singlehanded, so the
life guard responded to their S. o.
S. signs and helped, and they had
their hands full, too.
Charlie Craig, a beach fisher
man, was in charge Of the crew
effecting the capture. When the
deep sea beauty was hoisted on
the Baylen dock he was pro
nounced the largest ever seen
here. Shell markings placed his
age at 200 years. He was there
fore, a grandfather during the
civil war; a man of family in
1912; and in 1776, when the shot
was ed that reverberated
around the world, he was a dash
ing youth so years old, in the
springtime of loves young
dream, thinking of his turtle dove.

San Antonio, June General
Funston today sent to the war
department all the information he
had regarding the movements of
Mexican troops in northern Mex
leo. While details of the report
were not made public, it is said
that the number of troops the
Mexican war minister sent to the
border section is much greater
than the number he told Generals
Scott and Funston he had order
ed north.
According to information re-

tween twenty and thirty thousand
more. Exact information on the
Carranza troops operating in So

Importance to Government
is Urged From Many
Sources.

Pensacola will be included in the
list of ports from which civilian train
ing cruises will sail, unless there are
some insurmountable obstacles to
prevent the secretary of the navy
making favorable decision.
The Journal yesterday dispatched
a telegram to Secretary Daniels, urg-
ing the Importance to the Prepared

Mr.. Bryan's return to the senate is
practically assured at next Tuesdays
election, and the interest he has
