DECLARES WAR ON AMERICA
SINALOA GOVERNOR SERVES VI
TIMATUM is REPORT.
BIueiackets Clash With Mexicans-
u. S. Citizens Near MatzaIan
Advised to Leave.

San Diego, Cal, June 21.-An ulti-
matum amounting practically to a
declaration of war against the United
States was served on Commander Ar
thur G. Kavanagh of the gunboat An
napolis by General Flores, Carranza
governor Of the state Of Sinaloa, &C.
cording to a radiogram sent from the
Annapolis at Mazatlan and received
here by Admiral Winslow, command
er-in-chief Of the Pacific fleet.
Flores Takes Hostile Stand.
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 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 blue jackets of the
Annapolis and Mexicans characterized
as Carranza soldiers. The exact sub
stance of his ultimatum has not been
received.
Americans Advised to Leave.
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.
Without provocation it is reported,
the Mexicans opened fire on the sail
ors and Boatswain's Mate l. NJ
Iaughtar was SpriOus1v wounded Tho
Americans returned the fire and so
far as known six Mexicans were kill
ed or wounded.
