Probed on Theory. That Il
Was Work Of Plotters

San Luis Obispo, Cal. May IL
Attorney c. n, Sooey. Of the North
Pacific line. arrived here today to
investigate theory that the steamer
Roanoke disaster wac caused by
time bomb being placed in the dyna-
mite cargo when 1t was transferred
from the ships which brought 1t from
Puget sound to the Roanoke in port
here. Sooey would not divulge the
grounds upon which he based this
suspicion. but he declared he intend
ed to interrogate the three survivors
carefully concerning 1t.
The survivors. Quartermaster Elb
and two Mexican iremen, are ap-
parently recovering from the effects
Of their terrible experience. Elb to-
day added a number Of details to
his account OF the wreck, chief among
them being a graphic description Of
how Carlos Belgrano. Oakland high
school boy. who had shipped as
freight clerk, came to his end.
Elb said that Belgrano was in the
nfeboat with hlza when II WAS esp
sized. Both were plunged into the
sea and grasped planks. Together
they attempted to keep afioat and
reach another boat. Elb said that
Belgrano got slippery board and
lost his hold on 1t repeatedly, always,
however. swimming for a moment
and then again grabbing his support.
Finally, however, when another
lifeboat was approaching through the
heavy sea. the Oakland boy was over
whelmed by a big wave and his
frantic grip on the plank was torn
loose for the last time. Belgrano
swan desperately for moment, try
ing to keep his head above water un-
til the lifeboat came up, but he dis
appeared under another wave while
rescuers were extending their hands
to him. Elb never saw him again.
Watchers along the beach, up to
noon, had been unable to discover
any traces of survivors or bodies Of
victims, The patrol is being main

corpses will drift ashore.

THE NEGOTIATIONS OVER BORDER
TROUBLE PASSED UP TO CARRANzA

Washington. May l2.--With the
border conferences closed and Gen
eral Hugh Scott ordered home, the
administration today cast upon the
Mexican de facto government the bur-
den of further negotiations regarding
the presence Of United States troops
in Mexico.
The cabinet threshed out the situ-
alton at length, No reply to General
Carranza's withdrawal request is ex-
pected until Ambassador Designate
Arredondo asks for II. Then the
United States will answer that the
expedition will not withdraw until
the border is considered safe from
further bandit incurslons.
It was learned officially today that
the administration is none too con-
fldent that new terms can be ar
ranged through the diplomats Of the
United States and Mexico.
General Alvaro Obregon told Gen.
eral Hugh Scott that he could not
write any agreement placing the de
facto government In the light Of con-
senting to the American expeditions
stay in Mexico. Ofilcials hope that
the expedition may continue It's work
unmolested by uncontrolled Carranza
bands.
After the cabinet session, one men,
ber said:
1T looks as though It were their
next move"
II was announced that no change
in the Mexican policy was contem-
plated and that no new troop move
ments had been ordered. and that the
situation so far az American action
was concerned was the same as be-
fore the border conferences. Anti
