MExICANs ROBBED US. SHIP
The Schooner Areas Stopped and
Searched py 1unboat OFF Tehuan-
tepec Coast, Captain Says.

Galveston, Tex, June 5.-The Amer
lean fishing schooner Areas was
boarded by the crew of a Mexican gum
boat off the coast of Tehuantepec,
Mex, on the high seas. May 81, and
looted of clothing, fishing gear and
medicine chest. This news was brought
here today by Capt. S. A. Mcdonald
of the Areas. who arrived in port fol-
lowing the boarding.
A small steamer, apparently a fish
ing vessel, was sighted by the Areas
on the Campeche banks, about fifteen
miles from Santa Ana, Tehuantepec,
early in the afternoon May 81. The
steamer, mounting two guns. came
alongside the Areas and, according to
Captain Mcdonald, sent on board a
party heavily armed. Only enough
provisions were left for the Areas to
get back to Galveston.
The Mexicans claimed to be Car
rama soldiers who had received no
clothing or pay for months.

ROOT MISSION SAFE IN RUSSIA
Unstlnted Aid VIII Be Pledged the
New Government by American
ENJOYS to Petrograd.

Washington, June 4.-The safe ar,
rival at a Russian port of the Ameri-
can commission to Russia, headed by
Elihu Root, ambassador extraordinary.
was announced today in a dispatch to
the navy department.
The commission left Washington
about May Is, charged with greetings
to the new democratic government of
Russia and authorized to pledge un-
stinted aid from the United States not
only iii the prosecution of war against
the common enemy, but in the rehabil-
itation of the demoraliZed country. II
was preceded by a special mission of
railroad experts, whose arrival al
ready has been announced.
After a final conference between
President Wilson and Mr.. Root. the
commissioners travelled overland to
the Pacific coast and there boarded q
fast naval vessel for the voyage to the
Orient. Under the voluntary censor-
ohiPf Ut thC iCquCpA VI INC 6ONOAh
ment, nearly all American newspapers
RETAINED from publishing anything
about their departure or the points
through which they passed along the
way. While no German submarines
are known to be operating in the Pa
cific, it was deemed wise to print nj
details of the trip until the yoyagerl
safely were landed.
The arrival Of the mission at Petro
grad is awaited ~anxiously because i
is confidently believed here that the
assurances it brings from the Ameri
can government and the people anC
the counsel Of its members win dc
much toward steadying and strength
ening the hand of the provisional gov
eminent.
