WARDECLAREDBY GOVERNOR OF
 S|NALOA
At Least Ultimatum Equiva- lent Is Issued, Following Clash With U. 5. Seamen At Mazatlan
(By Review Leased Wire.)

SAN DIEGO, June19.-An ultima tum amounting practically to a declar- ation of war against the United States was served Sunda yon Com mander Arthur G. Kavanaush of the gunboat Annapolis by General Flores, Sinaloa, according to radiogram sent from the Annapolis at MaZatlan and received here today by Admiral Winslow, commander in chief of the Pacific fleet
 Forbade Departures.
 Owing to the low-powered radio set of the Annapolis, difficulty has been experienced in communicating with the gunboat, but enough facts have come through to indicate that General Flores has taken a hostile stand against Americans and that it was his refusal to permit Americans to leave Mazatlan that resulted in the clash Sunday between bluejackets of the Annapolis and Mexicans. character ized as Carranza soldiers. The exact substance of his ultimatum has not yet been received.
 According to the reports received. the commander of the Annapolis ad- vised all Americans in the vicinity of Mazatlan to leave as soon as possible, A boat from the war vessel containing Ensign O. O. Messing, Paymaster An drew Mowat and a number of blue jackets approached the wharf. Ensign Messing being under orders from Commander Kavanaugh to arrange with the Mexican authorities to get out all Americans.
 Without provocation, it is reported. the Mexicans opened fire on the sail ors and Boatswain Mate I. NJ. Laugh ter, was seriously wounded. The Americans returned the fire and as far as known, six MeXicans were either killed or wounded. Earlier re- ports that a drunken Japanese started the trouble are not borne out in re- ports received here. Ensign Messing and Paymaster Mowat were taken prisoners and sent to the fortress. but later were released on demands pre- sented to Flores by Commander Kav- anaugh.

 There is little inclination. however, Q nthe part of the officers in Bisbee. Lowell or the Warren District to take any action which might involve the possibility of their being called in contempt of court.
 Undoubtedly from this time forward or until such time as the electorate or the legislature may further regu- late the introduction of liquor into the state. for personal use. the common carriers will continue to furnish a great amount of the wet goods in Bisbee and other towns in Arizons.
