CARRANZA'S STRANGE SHIFT
Mexican Army Moved To Border and
Now Lies Between Gen. Pershlng's
Force and the U. S.

FL Paso, Texas.-Much excitement
was occasioned here when II became
known that the largest part Of Car.
ranza's army in North Mexico had
been transferred to the border and
now lies between Gen. Pershings
force and the border.
The reason for the Carranza troops
moving to the border remains unex.
planned. It is impossible even to
make a fair estimate of the number
of men under Gen. Gavira at Juarez.
The large staff at his headquarters
and the fact that new troops are ar.
irving daily indicates that his force
is a large one. The most conservative
estimate places 1t at 5000, and calcu'
lations range from that point upward
to 5000. Every precaution has been
taken to prevent the facts being
known, and most OF the men are kept
outside the town among the hills. Re.
ports from Aqua Prieta and 0jinaga
tell of Mexican re-enforcements reach
ing those points also, but nothing is
'.nown as to their numbers.
There is no question that there is
serious and growing uneasiness in FL
Paso which has been sharply accentu.
ated by the problem which has arisen
over the request Of the United States
government to Gen. Carranza for the
use of the Mexican railroads to trans
port supplies. Americans here do not
believe that Carranza dare grant this
request, especially as 1t Is understood
that Gen. Funston proposes, II 1t is
granted, to take train crews and equip.
ment into Mexico and place military
guards at the stations. The presence
of American soldiers on Mexican rail-
roads. it is said, would be very likely
misunderstood by the poems, end 1t is
feared would be sure to provoke out
breaks.

NEUTRAL VESSEL is SUNK
Dutch Liner Tubantia Ser. To Bot.
tom off Coast Of HolIand-Dlsas-
ter Charged To Torpedo.

Amsterdam.-The newest and finest
steamship sailing under the Dutch flag,
the Tubantia, of the Holland-Lloyd line,
has been sunk 80 miles of the Dutch
coast.
Although 1t is not positively estab-
lished whether the sinking was due to
a mine or a torpedo. there is a singular
unanimity on the part of those who
were on board in attributing 1t to
submarines act. The crew base their
belief in this regard chiefly on the In
tense violence of the explosion and in
the fact that 1t occurred amidships.
The vessel was outward bound from
Amsterdam to South American ports,
carrying a crew Of 1874 and 50 passen-
gers, the latter, mostly neutrals, in
GLIDING, it is said. three Americans.
The ship bore the usual Identification
marks of her neutral character, includ-
ing an illuminated name and flag.
1t is now believed there was a small
number Of lives lost in the sinking OF
the Tubantia, either III the explosion or
in an accident which attended launch
ing Of lifeboat. The steamship re-
NAMED afloat several hours.
According to all reports there was
no panic, every one on board behaving
splendidly.
The boats were launched in their ap.
pointed order and the passengers were
all taken off first. The rescue work
was difficult owing to the darkness,
the heavy mist and the rough sea. The
boats were several hours in finding the
Noordhinder lightship, which was two
miles away.
The captain and part Of the crew re-
manned on the gradually sinking ship
for some time, the wireless operator
keeping up the working of guiding
Dutch vessels to the rescue. The cap
tain was on the vessel for two hours
after she was struck and was the last
to leave. The rescuing vessels took the
passengers and crew to Flushing, Am
sterdam and the Hook.
The loss of one of Hollands finest
steamships has stirred the country
deeply. The sinking Of the Tubantia,
valued at $1,6OO,OOO and insured for
81, 100000, means loss of valuable cargo
space not easily replaced.

Paris, Texas.-Fire which started in

The flames made a clean sweep OF
the southern portion of the city, a

where a large open space arrested the
course of the fire temporarily.

DESTROY
KNOXVILLE HOTEL
FIRE THAT BURNS THE IMPERIAL
BELIEVED CAUSED BY
LIGHTNING.
PROPERTY LOSS IS S25O,OOO
Guests Make Safe Escape When Mid
night Fire Alarm Is Glven-News
Of Interest From over
the State.

Knoxville.-The Imperial Hotel, the
oldest and one Of the leading hostel
ries of the city was the scene Of a
bad fire on the morning of March Il
that caused several hundred guests to
flee for their lives in whatever gar
ments they could hurriedly clutch. 1t
is believed, however, that all of the
occupants of the hotel were gotten
out of the building, and that none was
injured.
The fire was discovered soon after
midnight by some men who were in
the lobby with the clerk. The first
hint of danger was when burning EN-
bers commenced to fall down the ele-
vator shaft. 1t is believed that the
building was fired by lightning. To
the fact that the fire started at the
top and not at the bottom Of the build
ing is attributed the fact that all, it
is believed, were saved.
The older part of the building was
where the fire originated and was
the worst damaged, the back of it be-
ing Quilted. The front was badly dam
aged, as was the annex, almost the
size of the original building. The prop
erty is valued at 100000 to $3.50 900
and is owned by a stock company of
Knoxville men, and operated by the
Knoxville Leasing Company. The in
surance will probably cover the dam
age. The hotel was probably entirely
filled with guests, or almost so, for
Mondays register alone contained
nearly 100 names.
