Federal General at Acapulco is Under Suspicion. ‘Washington, Jan. 16.—With financial troubles and agaressive rebel armies to cope with, the Huerta government in Mexico City is menaced by a new discovery, according to official reports reaching Washington today from Mex- ico Clty.

Tne federal garrison at this import- ant port, under the command ‘of Gen- eral Mariscal, is said to have shown itself strangely apathetic in the pres- ence of a very active and alert enemy in the person of General Blanco, the constitutional = leader.

From ‘Waterbury, Jan. 16—There were sev- eral sensational rescues of women in a fire that broke out shortly after two o'clock this afternoon in the cellar of the Milford building, corner Leavenworth and Center streets, here, that did about $8,000 damage. The fire is believed to have heen caused { by spontaneous _ combustion. The heaviest loss was to the George N. EIl® book store, estimated at $4,000, covered by insurance. The fire had gained good headway before discovered and when the ap- paratus rolled up the building was full of smoke. The women on the third and fourth floors were soon shut in by a dense cloud of smoke and Mrs. E. Weller, a milliner, ran screaming to_a window on the third floor. A ladder was run up and as the wo- man was hanging half way out the window the life net was held in read- | iness. ‘When the firemen had the ladder in position the woman disap- peared.

Whether the men are dead or alive has not been established, but navy officials here expressed the opin- ion tonight that all had perished. The exact apot where the little vessel sank has not been definitely fixed. The “A7” in company with the “AS” and “A9” made a plunge about noon oday while engaged in manoeuvres. Her sister ships came to the surface at the end of the manoeuvres, but nothing has been seen of the since she dived. At first the men on the other submarines believed that the “A7” was merely overstaying her allotted time beneath the water, but ‘when the officers realized that the boat was in distress they sent out signals for aid.

They dragged the bay without avail until darkness set in The grappling operations will begin again at ylight jtomorrow and, in the hope that the submarine will be found, a boat capable of lifting her to the surface has been ordered to ‘White S8and bay. The “A7” was_in charge of Lieuten- ant Gilbert M. Wellman, who had as an aide another officer. A number of the seamen aboard were making their first trip in a_submarine. The cause of the accident is known. Naval officers estimate that in case the veesel's hull has not been pune- tured the men on board her might live at least twelve hours beneath the wa- ter, This is the sixth submarine of class “A™ which has come to grief and the question is being raised here whether the government ought not to abandon this type of boat in favor of the more modern veesels of the “C” and “D” clagses. The “A7” was built in 1904 and measured 150 feet in length. Her submerged displucement was 204 to Her engines developed 606 horsepower which gave her a surface mpsed of 16 knots and a submerged speed of nine knots. e Other Submarine Disasters, Of the class “A” submarines which have caused the British government grievous losses in men through acci- dents were the “A1” wrecked in 1904, not on board which twelve men were drowned: the ‘A‘5” in 1905, with a loss of four iives; the “AS8” in 1306 when 15 men perished and the “A3* m 1912, when 11 officers and seamen went.to their doom, The “A” do- not ramk alone the “C8” waa lost in 1907 with four men, the “C11" in 1909 with thir- teen men and the “B2” the same year fAifteen. class submarines, however, in disasters, for PROGRESSIVES ON THE TRAIL OF MAC DONALD.

That the breaking of the great dam of the West Virginia Pulp and Paper company at Dobbin, W.
