WASHINGTON, June 14.-With all
government departments closed in OBJ
servance Of Flag Day, there were no
developments here today in the Mexi-
can situation. A few kilograms reach
ed the war and state departments, but
officials said they contained nothing
OF Importance. A message to the navy
department from the West Coas. said
large number of CarranZa troops
were being transferred by water from
Guaymas to Mazatlan. The reason for
the movement was not reported.
Whatever is to be the outcome OF
the involved situation beyond the bor-
der, officials here are certain that the
presence OF American troops on Mexi-
can. soil is only one element and per-
laps a lesser one, among those con.
tributing to unrest in Mexico. The
real key to the situation, many of
fcials in close touch with it believe ia

Continued reports have indicated
growing uneasiness among the Mexi-
can people owing to the money strin
gency. The country has been flooded
with issue after issue of worthless
paper. while its diminished stock OF
pecious metal has been squeezed out
again and again to find the means Of
paying for war material and other gov.
ernmental supplies which could be pro.
cured only on flat cash basis.
1t Is evident that many officials be.
lieve the collapse of the de facto gov
ernment Is more to be expected than
any overt act by that government
against the United States. Out of
such COLLAPSE, however. It is feared
there might remain an ill-advised at

With most of the population utterly
ignorant of true conditions, it was
pointed out that ag.tators might have
an easy task in spreading the inpres

for Mexico's economic and other trou-
bles. Such resident Americans as
they see live in comfort and plenty
compared to the greet mass If the
native population. That has in itself
always been a cause of jealousy to-.
ward Americans.
Army officials have no fear of the
safety of General parshing's men, no
matter what happens.

STEAMER BEAR
ASHORE IN FOG
WITH 1870 PERSONS ON BOARD
THE STEAMER is WRECKED
ON A PRoMoNTORY

SAN FRANCISCO, June 14.-The
steamer Bear of the San Francisco &
Portland Steamship company, went
ashore tonight in a fog at Sugar Loaf.
promontory on the Mendocino coun-
ty coast, according to advices received
here. The battleship Oregon is re-
ported to be standing by. A life saw
ing crew from Eureka has gone to the
vessels aid
News of the disaster was received
by the radio operator at the United
States naval training station here The
life savers left Eureka at IL D. m.
The sea was reported calm but there
was heavy fog A number of small
boats were reported leaving the Bear
and it was believed the passengers
were being transferred to the Oregon.
The Bear was in command Of Capt.
l.. N. Nopander, navigator of long
experience or the coast According to
G. l.. Blair, general manager ct the
San Francisco & Portland Steamship
company, the Bear carried crew of
81. He did not know, he said how
many passengers there were on hoard.
He said the vessel was valued at about
$1,000 900.
AS additional information regarding
the plight OF the Bear reached here It
was learned that the steamer ran
ashore at 1915 p. IN. in dense fog
that enveloped the northern California
coast. Without loss of time th2 life
boats were launched but stood by the
stranded steamer to await evEectel
relief from Eureka and also from the
eoasting steamer GRANGE Dollar, vhic1
was due to reach the wreck at l 80
tomorrow morning.
From early and incomplete advices
indications were that Captain Nopan-
der did not contemplate making any
attempt to land his passengers ashore
because of the uncertainty of the
weather and the blanket Of fog which
shut out the sight of land.
