VESSEL SUNK IN FEW MINUTES
Dutch Vessel Is TOrpedoed Unwarn- ed, and Sinks Before Life Boats are Gotten Out-Forty- Eight Per- sons Perish.

LONDON, April 6.-Forty-eight persons perished when the Elder line steamer Zent was sunk in the North Sea today.
 The vessel was torpedoed by Ger tom so quickly that no opportunity was given to get all the lifeboats launched. Those who were saved are emphatic in the statement that the undersea craft gave no warning be- fore the torpedo was launched, and notwithstanding ~.-s coolness of the officers and men, not all of the boats coulu be gotten into the water before the doomed ship went down.

ARM0R PLATE BILL REPORTED
IN FAVOR OF PLANT
Considerable Opposition to Measure
 Is Made In Committee, and a Fight
 Is Expected in House When It .~.- Comes Up for Debate.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April G. The naval committee of the House today reported favorably on the Sen ate Armor Plant bill
 Under the terms of the bill the gov ernment will construct and operate plant for the manufacture of armor plate for all naval vessels. The bill has been fought strongly in the com mittee by the armor plate trust, who claim that if the bill is passed it will render their enormous investments worthless, as they must depend upon the government to purchase it's out put. The trust has offered to allow the government to set the price per ton upon the plate, if it will recon- sider it's plan to build plant.
 It is expected that the bill will meet with considerable opposition when the measure comes up for con- sideration, as many of the old-line representatives and senators of both parties are outspoken against it.

NEW YORK AMERICAN POLL
Thirty-FOur States Give Majority Tor Hughes, with Roosevelt second- Believed Uninstructed Delegates Will Vote for the Colonel.

NEW YORK, April GA poll of the different states by the New York American finds the sentiment in favor of Hughes for the Republican candi- dacy for the Presidency.
 Returns from thirty-four states place Hughes in the lead by consid- erable majority, with Roosevelt sec ond, and the other "Favorite Sons' in hopeless minority.
 The American deduces that this showing gives Roosevelt a decided advantage at the convention, as a large majority of the delegates to the convention will go uninstructed, and, in the opinion of the American many of the delegates from States declar- ing for Hughes will vote for Roose- veltfn the convention.

CANNON FIRE IS INCESSANT

PARIS, April, 6.-The terrific bombardment of the French positions in the vicinity of Verdun continues without cessation, and the number of projectiles hurled against the forts have been enormous. While they have done some damage, they have not met with the expectations of the Teu- tons, and such injury as has been sustained by the Notifications have been speedily repaired.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April G. An officer of the Department of Jus tice states that it is believed that Fe- lix Diax, who has been reported to be starting another revolution in Mexico to overthrow Carranza, is now in one of the South American coun- tries.
 It is reported that Diaz has gath cred about him large body of Mexi- cans and adventurers from other South American countries, and will soon attempt to enter Mexico at the head of his troops.

Soldiers Drink Polluted Water.

SAN ANTONIO, April 6.-It is re- ported th4t much of the illness among the American expedition in Mexico comes from drinking the water found along the line of march, instead of confining themselves to the boiled water that has been prepared by the commissary department. Notwith- standing strict orders of the officers that the men drink nothing but water in which the bacteria has been killed by boiling, the men continue to drink the polluted water wherever found, and as result some typhoid fever has appeared and other diseases have been reported.

NORWEGIANs ARE READY TO
 FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHTS

CHRISTIANA, April 6.-During the past ten days eleven Norwegian ships have been sent to the bottom by German submarines.
 Public sentiment throughout the country is running high and the gov ernment is urged to take vigorous measure in retaliation. The press of the country is particularly vehement in it's denunciation of the violation of the rights of neutral countries by the Germans, and in some cases advocate a declaration of war in the event the outrages are not stopped.
 Government officials consider the matter very grave one, but refuse to commit themselves as to what the consequences may be.

Wants Americans Withdrawn.

FL PASO, April 6.-Consul Gar cia, representative of the Carranza government here, in an interview to- day spoke strongly in favor of the withdrawal of the United States troops from Mexico.
 There is little doubt here that Gar cia reflects the views of President Carranza, for, while the Mexican president is extremely friendly. it is well-known that he does not favor the expedition of United States troops in search of Villa, and that he would prefer to undertake the capture of the outlaw unaided. There is un- doubtedly a strong sentiment against Americans among the lower classes in Mexico and this fact has no doubt contributed largely to the aid being given Villa by the residents of the country through which he is passing.

THE HAGUE, April, 6.-The of- ficial German declaration that no German submarine was responsible for the destruction of the Dutch steamship Tubantia has failed to sat isfy the Dutch people and press, whose resentment has increased to bitter anger since receipt of the news that other ships have. been sunk, sup posedly by torpedoes.
 The press of the country is partic- ularily bitter against the Germans, and urge united action by all of the neutral nations to stop the destruc- tion of neutral vessels. .-...

 According to the Iieuwe Courant, divers sent out to examine the wreck of the Tubantia found it was lying on one side. The difficulties of mak- ing an examination are very great, particularly as it is believed that the torpedo exploded in the coal bunkers.

Several Mexicans Arrested.

FL PAsO, April 6.-several Mex jeans were arrested here last night for making seditious speeches in the Mexican quarters, against the Ameri- can invasion of Mexico. Large mobs of Mexicans gather in the streets of the Mexican quarters of evenings, and freely discuss the situation. Many open expressions of sympathy with Villa are heard, and conflicts between citizens and Mexicans, who taunt them with the inability of the U. s. soldiers to capture Villa, are of fre- quent occurrence. Many citizens of both races are in the hospital here as result of clashes between people of the town and Mexicans.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April G. Officials of the War Department are not at all confident of the early cap ture of Villa. Pershing's expedition has penetrated so far into Mexico that Villa has a section of country con- taining fully sixteen hundred square miles in which to hide, and in this large area Pershing must find him.
 The department is convinced of the insuff1ciency of the number of troops now under command of Per shing, and it is expected that orders will be issued in few days to largely increase the number.

 Official news of where the outlaws are cannot be obtained, and it is doubtful if the military authorities on this side of the border are possess ed of any more information in regard to Villas movements than are the civilians. All the reports are merely guesses, and it is extremely doubtful if any of them are near the truth.
