 'Boarded at 3:50 a. m., 9-11-'16, ex- amined and passed"
 There has been more than one complaint about the activity of Brit ish vessels around the Philippine Isl ands and while Governor-General Harrison's report furnishes the basis for a specific protest. it is probable that Great Britain will De called upon to restrict the operations of her pa- trolling squads generally and in near the territorial waters of the islands.
 In order that there might be no mistake about where the Cebu was at the time she was held up, the exact position was given by the master as follows: Latitude IA degrees, 16 minutes; Longitude 120 degrees, 35 minutes, or one and half miles from Carabao Island.

PRESIDENT SEES
 SISTER,; TO MEET MEXICAN BOARD
Mrs. Howe's Condition is Unchanged -Mediators
 to Pay Respects.

New London, Conn.,, Sept. 12-Presi- dent Wilson today remained near his sister, Mrs. Anna B. Howe, who is critically i'll here. His plans depend- ed largely on the outcome of her sick ness. Early this morning it was said that her condition was practically un- changed.
 The first news of the apparent Re- publican victory in Maine was received by the President from the newspapers this morning as members of his party would not disturb him last night with the word because of the illness of Mrs. Howe. He would make no comment this morning.
 Arrangements were made for the President to receive the members of the American and Mexican. joint com- mittee on board the naval yacht May flower during the day.
 The Mayflower. with MT. Wilson on board, was anchored off Fort Trum- bull near here,y but launches carried hourly reports to the President of Mrs. Howe's condition.
 During the forenoon, the physicians attending the Presidents sister issued the following bulletin:
 Mrs. Howe had a comfortable night. Her conditions remains about the same" ---
 This news was immediately for warded to the President on the May flower. Soon afterwards, the Presi- dent and Mrs. Wilson came ashore and went to Mrs. Howe's hotel to see her. As they walked through the main street of New London they were re- cognized lby many persons.
 The Mexican members of the Mex ican-American joint commission which is studying means for restor- ing order in Mexico will be given an opportunity today to pay their re- spects to President Wilson.
 The call of the commissioners on the President was arranged after they had suggested it in a message of sympathy transmitted by Secretary Lane. In their message the com- missioner said that before leaving the United States they hoped to have the opportunity of paying their re- spects in person to the President. A meeting was to take place on the Mayf1ower, anchored in the river just in front of the hotel where the com mission is in session.
 Further discussion of the state- ments made by Commissioner Pani relative to the state of the railways in Mexico, featured the forenoon ses- sion of /the commissioners, the in- formation in the hands of the Amert- can commissioners confirming in a great part that offered by the Mexi- cans. It was regarded as probable that today's meeting would be brief because of the visit to the Mayf1ow- CT.
 Washington, Sept. 12-Major Gen. eral Tasker H. Bliss, assistant chief of staff, left here for New London, Conn.,, to give the American-Mexican commission the benefit of his knowi- edge of military affairs along the in- ternational boundary and assist them in negotiating for new form or

London. Aug 2.-Unless in the early
morning hours the unexpected happens
and King George grants a reprieve, Sir
Roger Easement will be hanged at 9
O'Clock tomorrow morning in the court
yard of Pentonville Prison.
Such action by the King would come
in the face OF official utterances made
today to the effect that the government
could see no reason justifying a re-
prieve, in view Of the cabinets unalter-
able determination to let the law take
its course, and 1t would come as a sur
prise even to Easements relatives, who
have given up all hopes of the prisoner
escaping the payment of the death penalty
for high treason.
Easement himself made no statement
today and let 1t be known that he Will
make none. In the condemned cell of
Pentonville Prison he betrays no emo
ton and evidently enjoyed his fruit and
iced drinks which he took in quest Of
relief from the heat.
Premier Asquith late tonight formally
acknowledged the receipt OF an extensive
ly signed Irish petition in Easements
behalf. The petition was signed by many
famous authors. 1t admits the prisoners
guilt. but urges his mental irresponsi-
bility. His execution, the document urges,

and on the Meuse the French have in

stream a trench system northwest of
Denicourt was captured and held
against two violent counter-attacks.
At Verdun terrific fighting continued
on the northeastern sectors OF the
front throughout the night and day.
1t reached its climax OF fury when
the French launched a tremendous at
tack on a front OF three miles from
the river as far as Fleury.
In great waves, or echelons, the
French infantry swept forward across
the shelI-swept wood east OF Vache-
rauville. west and south of the Thiau-
mont work, and in the ravine of
Fleury.
The advance carried several German
trench works and resulted in the cap
ture Of 500 prisoners. a very large
number for fighting of this character.

The Verdun lighting, which was vio-
lently renewed by a German at
tack yesterday afternoon. continued

gains in the Chaptre woods and at
Chenois.
They claim to have captured a hill
salient at the northeastern approaches
