EIGHT MEN LOST
OFF j. 5. CRUISER

Boston. May 1.-THE U. s. cruiser
San Francisco, now serving as mine
laying ship, was aground on a shoal
In Nantucket sound for several hours
early today in a gale, during which
it was reported she lost whaleboat
containing eight members Of her crew.
The fate of the men has not yet been
learned. The San Francisco floated
later without assistance and was not
greatly damaged. Observation from
the cruiser was impossible because Of
the rain.
Messages saying eight men were
lost were received at two stations but
officers Of the Charlestown navy yard,
which was in touch with the cruiser
most of the time she was aground,
said they had no word that any men
were missing.
The exact place where the San
Francisco stranded is in doubt. Com
mander Belknap gave her position as
latitude 41.22 north, longitude 69.46
This would place the cruiser of the
Old South shoal. Another message
from the cruiser said she had ground
ed on Great Round shoal, at the en-
trance Of Nantucket sound.

MEX|CANS SHOW
NEW RESPECTF0R
ALL AME R|CANS
FIGHTING ABILITIES OF SOLD
IERs BRING ABOUT CHANGE
OF OPINION.

Namiquipa, Chihuahua, May IL
Via wireless to Columbus, N. M
American residents Of this section Of
Mexico have assured Gen. ]. ]. Perish
ing, commander Of the punitive ex-
pedition, that the American troops
have restored respect on the part Of
the natives for U. s. soldiers to de-
gree not existing for five years.
For some time Mexicans had sneer-
ed at the fighting ability of the Ameri-
cans, some of them honestly believing
that the United States soldiers were
afraid to engage any Mexican COM
mand After the Ojo Azules fight,
however, signs Of the growing respect
on the part of the natives became
more and more manifest. American
noncombatants living in the vicinity
were treated with courtesy which
astonished them and the like of which
they had not experienced for years.
These same Americans, however,
have openly expressed their intention
of leaving Mexico If the expeditionary
command is withdrawn. They believe
that a native uprising will result i'm
mediately after the protection of the
American guns is removed. Numerous
threats on the part of Villa and lieu
tenants to punish persons dealing with
the Americans also have caused some
Mexicans and Chinese merchants to
announce that they, too, will follow
the American command from Mexico
should It be with drawn.

The high mortality Of Mexican ban
dts in the Ojo Azules fight last Fri
day when Maj. Robert L. Howze's
command killed fifty-flve Villistas,
was credited by officers here today in
part to the effectiveness of the new
army automatic AS caliber pistol.
Most Of the fighting was done with
pistols. by the AmsEdcans-~~sgho.--xan xan
down the bandits at close range.
The briefest report Of the fight was
that brought back to the advanced
base by Sergeant Chicken, the oldest
Of the twenty Apache Indian scouts.
No one with this expedition seems to
know Sergeant Chickens age which
is estimated variously at from 70 to 80.
He was in the van during the pistol
battle, where his experiences were
said to be thrilling enough to fill a
book. When urged to tell what he
knew, Sergeant Chicken said:
Him damn fne fight
Further details he refused to dis
close.
