U.S.. COMMISSION
CONFERENCE WITH MEXiCANS
ENDS AFTER MONTHS
OF WORK.
FLETCHER TO MEXICO
PERSHlNG MEN TO LEAVE WHEN
BANDITS QUIT MENACiNG
NORTHERN BORDER.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE Mexican
American joint commission, which
failed to effect an adjustment of the
questions at issue between Mexico
and the United States after a series
Of conferences that began four
months ago, was formally dissolved
Monday. Secretary of the Interior
Lane and the other members of the
American commission, DR.. j. r. Mott
and Judge George Grey, told the Mex
leans that they had recommended to
President Wilson the dispatch to
Mexico of Ambassador Fletcher and
the withdrawal of the American
troops from Chihuahua.
The Americans impressed upon the
MeXicans that with the dissolution Of
the commission the Mexican problem
reverted TO President Wilson. They
We're careful not to leave in the minds
of the MeXicans the conviction that
President Wilson would accept the
recommendation that an accredited
diplomat be sent to Mexico and that
Gen. Pershing's force be withdrawn,
but the intimation that he would do
so was convey ed.
In spite of the Americans care,
however, the Mexicans had little
doubt that full diplomatic relations
between the two governments soon
would be re-established, and that IN
less unexpected complications arise
American troops will be removed
Mexican territory within a few
The probability of such action
was included in the report of the last
meeting, which was t~elegraphed to
Gen. C~arranza at Querataro.
Luis Cabrera, chairman Of the Mex
lean commission, and Ignacio Bonillas
and Alberto j. PAM, the other mem
bers, said they expected to leave with
in a week or ten days for Mexico. Mr..
Cabrera and Mr.. Bonillas will resume
places as members of Gen. Car
cabinet and Mr.. PAM as d.
general of the government rail
Notwithstanding the dissolution of
he commission, they expressed them
selves as pleased with the result,
out that the withdrawal of
he American troops the main object
C%arranza in sending them here
would be accomplished.
1t was intimated to the Mexicans
hat Gen. Pershing's troops would be
out of Mexico when it appeared
evident that bandits We're not menac-
ng the northern border of Chihuahua,
he essential condition in the protocol
%Iarranza refused TO ratify.

ADMIRAL DEWEY
DIES OF OLD AGE
WORLDS RANKING NAVAL OFF,.
GER SUcCUMBS AT WASHING
TON AFTER WEEKS ILLNESS.
HAD ROMANTIC CAREER
TOOK PART IN CIVIL WAR UNDER
FARRAGUT-ASkED TO RUN
FOR PRESIDENT.
Western Newspaper Union News Service

Western Newspaper Union News Service,
Washington, Jan. II. Admiral
Dewey, the nations Spanish war hero,
and by priority of grade the ranking
naval officer of the world, died at his
home here Tuesday night in his eight
ieth year. He had not beer conscious
since Monday, when he lapsed into
coma, still believing that in "A few
days he would be back at his desk in
the Navy Department.
A general breakdown accompanied
by arterio sclerosis incident to old
age, was the cause of death. The dis,
ease had been gradually spreading its
hold upon the powerful body for a
year and a half, but the admiral, proud
of his physical vigor had fought it off,
and even kept its existence Il secret
from most of his intimate friends,
Last Wednesday he was at his office
apparently hale and hearty. The next
day he collapsed as he was preparing
to leave the house, and the beginning
OF the end was at hand.
Mrs. Dewey and the admiral's' only
son, George, were at the bedside. They
had known there was no hope.
The President will confer with Sec
rotary Daniels and Rear Admiral
Badger and arrange for the funeral,
which probably will take place Satur-
day. The body will be buried at Ar
lington National Cemetery on the Nir-
ginia shore of the Potomac river,
where many of Admiral Dewey's for
mer comrades have becn laid to rest
before him.
When news of the Admiral's death
was received at the White House,
President Wilson authorized the fol
lowing statement:
in expressing his grief at the deaul
of Admiral Dewey the President said
the whole nation will mourn the loss
of its most distinguished naval Off
GER; a man who has been as faithful,
as intelligent and as successful in the
performance of his responsible duties
in time of peace as he was gallant and
successful in time of war. 1t is just
such men that gives the service dis
tinction and the nation a just pride in
those who serve it,"
Admiral George Dewey, Hero Of
Manila Bay" fought and won the first
great American naval battle against a
foreign foe since the war of 1872.
His whole life was full of honorable
achievement, from the days of the
Civil War down to the time when, as
the head of the General Board, he be-
gan the last chapter of his work by
laying plans for the defense of his
country in time Of war. His life was a
striking complication of the posi-
bilities of a career based upon the ex-
act and intelligent performance of ev-
cry routine duty which molds a man
on infleXible lines of duty and honor.

Washington, Jan. 2.--American Am
bassador Elkus has forwarded from
Constantinople an apparently au-
thentic article from a semi official
newspaper in the capital giving the
text of Turkeys reputation Of the
guardianship of the great powers
which was created by the treaty of
Paris of 1856 and the treaty of Berlin
of 1873. One of the motives of the
reputation, it was said here. was to
permit Turkey to enter a peace con-
ference as an entirely independent
power. The United States Will take
no action in the matter as this coun-
try was not a party to either treaty
and does not consider that its rights
are involved in TINS action more than
thru the whole Turkish situation.
The reputation of the treaties. Off
cials here believe, is d question en-
tirely dependent on the outcome Of the
war.
Secretary Lansing said today the
English text of the entente reply to
Germany's peace proposals probably
would be forwarded to the central
powers today without waiting for the
official French text. That will be sent
direct to the central powers by the
American embassy in Paris.
