bLOODLESS NAVAL
BATTLE IS RAGING
Defending Fleet Has Taken
Many Batches Of Prisoners
From Enemy

Washington, Aug. 25.-A naval bat
tie is anticipated off the Atlantic
coast today. Admiral Helm s defend
ing forces will clash with the Red enc.
my fleet, naval officers here said.
The naval censor refused to divulge
the probable point of contact between
the fleets. 1t is believed that cruiser
squadrons may already nave met in
preliminary engagement, but the main
battle squadrons of capital ships have
not yet come together.
A number of marine hospitals along
the coast were today notified to pre-.
pare to receive wounded sailors
and to report at once on facilities for
handling the cases. Stores of medical
supplies are at the same time ordered
for the vessels which are expecting
them as soon as the engagement off
shore begins.
Several patches Of prisoners taken
by the defending fleet have been dis.
patched to New York, Norfolk and 9th
er navy yards.
Regarding an intercepted radiogram
from the defending rieet yesterday,
telling that the transport train of the
enemy fleet was sighed, nothing fur
ther has been heard at navy head
quarters.
Officers said today they thought the
report was sent out to deceive tae at
tacking fleet, but there is some belief
that this opinion was gwen to cover a
leak in the censorship. Fear is felt
that this information may have reach
| ed the enemy fleet when the latter
stopped merchantmen out of Atlantic
ports and took off their newspapers.
1t was rumored here toGay that to pre-
vent sucn action Admiral Helm had
been instructed to take off newspapers
from vessels going beyond his lines

STATE HOUSE NEWS



Accompanied by Fire Marshal Stew
ems, of Portland, and by Captain Groce,
of the Portland arson squad, State In
surance Commissioner Harvey Wells
left this morning by auto for Cottage
Grove, where he will deliver tonight his
illustrated lecture on fire protection.
Commissioner Wells has compiled from
newspaper clippings the amount of loss
which has occurred from fires in the
state Of Oregon, not including Portland,
during the first 20 days of August. The
amount is $7S,500, and it is estimated
that not more than half of the loss is
covered by insurance.
Protesting against the temporarily
disconnected" custom of the Pacific
Telephone company, A. F. Flegel, Jr., a
Portland attorney, has written letter
to the public service commission asking
that the commission issue an order to
that company requiring it to remove an
instrument entirely from the premises
of delinquent subscriber after reason
able notice of the company s intention
to do SO has been given. In the event
that the commission does not consider
such an order reasonable, Mr.. Flegel
asks for an order to the effect that the
company be not allowed to charge or
collect tolls for time when service was
interfered with or temporarily dis
connected" as result of intentional
act of the company. Mr.. Flegel says that
the present practice of the company in
giving notice Of u subscribers delp-
quency to others before giving such
notice to the subscriber, which is the
effect of the temporarily disconnect-
ed" system, is neither just nor proper.
One million dollars divided into shares
of 81 each, is the amount of capital
stock given by the American Explora-
tion company of Portland in articles
of incorporation filed at the state cor
poration department this morning. The
company announced its intention to en-
gage in the business Of prospecting and
mining for precious metals only. The

In Meantime the American Conferees Are Awaiting At San Antonio Ready to Meet Mexican War Min ister At Any Point
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 26.-I Uncertainty regarding the where abouts of General Obregon and fail ure to receive from the war depart ment instructions as to their confer ence with him, caused General Scott and General Funston tonight to abandon their plan to go from here to the border before tomorrow. Be fore morning, it is believed, they will have information indicating where General Obregon will meet them for the conference, and by the time they get there the war department will have forwarded its instructions.
 Contradictory reports were received during the day concerning the route being taken by Carranzas minister of war. At one time it appeared so certain that he was heading for
 Piedras Negras, opposite Eagle Pass, that the American chief of staff and General Funston made arrangements for leaving here tonight for that point Soon after came the news that General Obregon was at Tor rcor and probably would continue from there to JuareZ. oposite Fl Paso General scott believed that by leav- | ing here tomorrow he and General Funston would yet be able to get | to either Fl Raso or Eagle Pass be- fore General Obregon could arrive al | either opposite point

WASHINGTON, April 26.-President Wilson and Senator Stone, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. discussed for an hour tonight interna- tional questions facing the United States. including the submarine con- troversy, the Mexican situation and the Japanese protest against features in the house immigration bill which will be taken up by the senate immi- grafton committee tomorrow.
 The conference was devoted chiefly to the submarine issue. While Sen ator Stone would not discuss the de- tails, it IS known that the eventualities which may follow the receipt of Ger many's reply to the last note sent by the United States were gone over thoroughly. The president did not at tempt to minimize the gravity of the situation but he has not given up hope that a break in diplomatic relations with Germany may be avoided.
 Senator Stone will lay the results of his conference with the president be- fore the foreign relations committee. He left the conference apparently sat isfieG with it's results. The president told him very fully his attitude in the German crisis. No new policies were ! discussed the president pointing out that the future course of the United States depended entirely on the Ger man reply to the American note de- manding an immediate abandonment of her present methods of submarine warfare.
 Secretary Lansing received a report from Ambassador Gerard in Berlin to- , day on q conference between the latter 1 and Chancellor von Bethmann- Holl- veg. The secretary would not discuss the report except to say 1t was brief and required no reply. He. continued 10 receive summaries of editorial com ment on the submarine issue published | in German newspapers.
 Count von Bernstorff. the German , ambassador, it was learned today. has sent to his foreign office a suggestion on the submarine question which he hopes will prevent a break in the dip- lomatic relations with the United States. The suggestions were sent 1T response to a request from Berlin ana will be considered at a conference be.
 tween the imperial chancellor and tn,
 kaiser. The exact nature was not re l Vealed.

 ment of a declaration of the American
 governments position on the armed
 ships problem is expected to have al
