SIX AMERICANS
LOST AT TUXPAM
Disappeared and Fate Not
Known, Say Dispatches
to Consul.

Vera Cruz, June 26-Six Americans
are missing from the Tuxpam district,
say advices received to-day from Tam
pico by W. W. Canada. the American
Consul. Who they are or what has
happened to them was not made known
in the dispatches.
More than 1000 Americans are now
on board oil tankers lying in the river
at Tampico, and 276 are yet TO be en-
barked. OF those on the oil ships none
has been injured or molested.
The United States cruiser Chester
is lying off Tampco, and the gunbosts
Machias and Marietta are in the river.
Embarkation of refugees at Vera
Cruz is continuing to-day. Boatloads
are being taken 10 the battleship Ma
braska every two hours. There have
been no disorders Of any kind here.
Northern Ports to Get Refugees.
Washington. June 26.-To save
American refugees from Mexico from
delays and inconvenience OF rlgor-
Gus quarantine, the Treasury Depart
ment to-day suggested TO the State
Department that all refugees brought
home by ship be landed at ports north
of Hampton Roads.
By landing at northern ports the
refugees will have spent longer time
aboard ship, will disembark in a cooler
climate and officials feel that there
will be less inspection necessary. The
plan is under consideration, but be-
cause of the lack of transports may be
found impractcabie.
In explaining the situation to State
Department officials, Assistant Secre-
tary Newton, of the Treasury, said that
the rush Of refugees of all nations
had caused serious danger Of typhus,
yellow fever and smallpox. Quarantine
facilities at Key West, New Orleans
and Galveston are so taxed, he said,
that officers would be unable to pass
on refugees.
The State Department agreed TO CO.
operate as far as possible, and where
ever practicable vessels will be sent
directly to northern ports. Refugees
from Mexico coming by steamer, are
said to include English, German,
French, American and many wealthy
Mexicans.
Mexicans coming over the border are
from the poorer classes and driven
from Mexico by actual hunger and
want. Most of them, according to pub
lie health officers, are typhus fever
carriers. All the clothing OF these
refugees is destroyed before they are
permitted to leave quarantine, and they
receive a gasoline bath at once.

No Doubt But What English Liner

from Paris

London, March 27.-Although
there is still some uncertainty as to
the loss of life in the disaster to
the cross-channel steamer Sussex
last Friday, there no longer is any
doubt that the death list is much
larger than the early advices indi-
Gated. The latest figures compiled
in London show as many as 1902 per-
sons missing, including five Ameri-
cans. The Sussex had 436 persons
aboard.
Paris, March 27.-"There is no
manner of doubt whatever that the
channel steamship Sussex was tor
pedoed without warning" says an
official statement issued here.
Washington, March 27.-Official
information upon which President

Money VIII Build Ships But Time Is
Necessary for Training
RECOMMENDS A NAVAL BOARD
Changing of Secretaries With Each
Administration is Detrimental
TO Efficiency of Navy
Says Admiral Fiske

Washington, March 25.-Rear
Admiral Bradley A. Fiske declared
before the house naval committee
that, regardless of how many ships
are built, 1t will be impossible to
carry out the general boards plan
for making the American navy equal
to any afloat by 1925, because 1t
will take ten years longer to de-
velop the personnel necessary to
man the navy in first rank.
"You can, If you appropriate
enough money, build enough ships
to equal in number those of any
other navy in three years" said the
admiral, but ships do not make a
navy. You would not have the men,
officers or training that would
bring a navy up to first rank"
Reiterating his often expressed
opinion that the navy never can be
made efficient as long as its policies
are subject to change by every new
secretary of the navy, the admiral
urged legislation for the establish
ment of a general staff with statu-
tory powers and to define and ex
tend the powers of the chief of
operations.
