INCUR LIABILITIES
British Government Has Nearly $i50,- 100000 to Pay to Loyalists for Losses in Ireland.

London, March 16.--The British government has liability to pay the British loyaislts in southern Ireland whose property has been destroyed nearly $150. 0.oo0,0o0, according to the claims made by a meeting of Irish loyalists held in London recently. Lord Carson, the leader of the Irish Unionists was the principal speaker. Sir William Davison. member of Par liament. presided.
 The chairman was responsible for the estimate of damages suffered. He said that before the truce the claims amounted to ten million pounds. but they had since risen to thirty millions, and as villages are now being sent into the air wholesale, no doubt these claims are rapidly increasing"
 Lord Carson gave examples of the ruin in Ireland. The Great Southern and Western Railway had lost prac- tically al its capital, amounting to millions of pounds ,and all the peo- pie who held shares were ruined. He cited numerous cases of individual suffering told of Irish ladies recently rich who had been reduced to work ing in England as servants ,and de- clared these were examples from thousands.

 Francisco Leon de la Barra, for mer president and now living in France. Because of his present happy connection with the French government 1t is not believed he would even allow his name to be considered,
 Alberto Garcia Granados, former army general under President DiaE, now living in tho United States

 Fernando Iglesias Cadron. former am mbassador at Washington and at present federal senator,

 Others Mentioned.
 And then there arc others who are not definitely allied with any group, but who may be requisitioned as can didates. There is Robert V, Pes queira, who represented the ObreGon at Washington during the early stages Of the recognition nego- tiations. Senor Pesqueira is close to the present government and is known as broad gauge man who might fit in well to break the recognition dead- lock. There is also Eduardo Itur- bide of Mexico. He is a sound bus mess man, sane in his political con- allied with no particular group, and well thought of by all here. He also has certain standing in the United States due to his posi- ton as counsellor to Secretary de la Huerta during the debt negotiations last summer. Felix r. Palavicini, edi- tor of Fl Universal, also has been as possible civilian can- iidate as opposed to the military.
 Announces Himself.
 Emeterio de la Garza already has formally announced himself from Ha- vana as a presidential candidate, say ing that Mexico needs Messiah and that he proposes to be cast in that role. His antecedents, however, are not such as to lend seriousness to his announcement. It is also as- ;umed that Senor Miranda Zuniga, perennial candidate, who has contest 3d in every election since the early lays of the Diaz regime, will again enter himself.
 Issues and platforms have never in- ruded much in Mexican politics, where the contest is largely personal.
