CARRANzA'S POWER
IS RAPIDLY WANING
FLEET OF UNITED STATES DE-
STROYERS is ORDERED no
KEY WEST AT ONCE
tBy the Associated press)

Washington, May 5.-While the
recognition of Carranza's rapidly
waning power in Mexico was admit
ted by government officials today,
the dispatch of flotilla of United
States destroyers to southern waters
was not taken to indicate that for
eigners in Mexico We're in any i'm
mediate danger. Six destroyers are
due to arrive in Key West tomorrow,
and will be used along the eastern
coast of Mexico only if necessary.
Developments as reported to the
government has convinced many Of
ficials, especially army officers, that
Carranza cannot maintain his author
ity in Mexico much longer, as his
army is daily dissolving before the
rebel advance. and many of the lead
.4rs and soldiers are deserting to the
revolutionary forces. Rebels claim
that if Carranza was to leave the
country now it would be as an ordi-
nary fugitive, because so many Of
the railroad lines are cut.
The flotilla of war ships sent to
Mexican waters is commanded by
Capt. Byron Long, aboard the tender
Blackhawk. The destroyers are the
sherwood, Case. Lardner, Reid and
Putnam.
Secretary Daniels said that Captain
Long had been given full Instructions
rs to the policy to be pursued in the
event it becomes necessary to send
the destroyers to Mexican ports to
protect American lives and interests
IN Mexico.
Thus far there have been no re-
ports of serious disturbances in Mex
can ports reaching the government.
But it is believed that there are pri-
yate advices which indicate that there
may be at any moment such situa-
tion as will demand protection for
American interests and that forS this
reason the destroyers are being sent
near the scene.

Fifty Percent of Total Stock
Subscription for New Ship
Now Subscribed
WORK TO COMMENCE
ABOUT JUNE FIRST
Capt. J. H. Leo, Moving Spirit in
New Enterprise Has Already
Built Two Other Vessels in
Brunswick. Joyce-Watkins
Yard to Be Used.

The people OF Brunswick will be
pleased to know that Capt j. II. Leo
and his associates are to build an
other ship in Brunswick and that
work will commence on the new yes
sci about June first!
Capt. Leo has been working quiet
ly ,on the plans for several weeks
and without making any fuss and
feathers about it has already secured
about fifty per cent in stock subscrip'
tions of the total amount required to
build the craft
The new ship will be in the neigh
borhood of five hundred tons and is
to be built at the yards of Joyce-Wat-
kins Foundation at the foot of
George street, Capt Leo already hav-
ing made plans with the owners OF
this property fo7 its utilization in
this work
1t will be remembered that this
will make the third vessel built un.
der the direct supervision of Capt.
Leo. The first one. the Glynn was
sold to French interests, made
splendid time trip to Genoa, Italy,
and has been giving a good account
of itself ever since she was launched.
The Taylor is still owned by the
Brunswick Shipbuilding Company,
like the Glynn, has made round
trip to Genoa; has made several
journeys to the West Indies and is
now in the port of New York unload.
ing cargo of salt from Turk Island
in the British West Indies. The Tay-
lor has proven herself to be a splen-
did ship: has earned handsome divi-
dends for her owners and in her
construction and that of the Glynn it
has been established that Brunswick
people can build good vessels in the
port of Brunswick.
In the building of the new ship,
Capt. Leo states that she is not to
be built by the Brunswick Shipbuild-
ing Company, but a brand new COM
pany is to be formed for that pur-
pose: it is thought that in the end
around 100000 will be neede3 to
complete the ship and as stated in
the beginning, practically fifty per
cent of that sum has been subscribed
by the people of this city.
The work that Capt. Leo is under
taking in Brunswick is the kind that
will be required to make this city
grow and develop, for after all. she
is a seaport and on that commerce
she must largely depend for her very
life.
