AT MILITARY CAMP, NIANTIC at a decision as to ‘which boat shall meet the Shamrock IV. Friday’s contest was regarded as fairly ‘conclusive because it stamped thé Resolute as the best drifter in a rolling sea, a condition frequently met with in cup racing off Sandy Hook. The Resolute demonstrated that she could sail a thirty mile triangle with a beat to windward and two reaches inside of six hours even -with a wind of less than five miles an hour. The Vanitie can almost o it, but Fhe De- flance needs more of a breeze to make her go. On the other hand, the Vanitie has shown speed up the wind in a lump of a sea with the breeze over ten miles an hour. She can apparently outrun the in a good bre well. The best hol in the light of her few performances is in a moderate roll and a felrly good breeze. But none of these deductions can be con- sidered as final, as the contests bave been too few and. the conditiond not strictly impartial.

HUERTA TO RESIGN AND LEAVE MEXICO Will Surrender Government to Carba- jal, Who in Turn Will Retire in Favor of Someone Acceptable to Constitutionalists. Vera Cruz,~ July 12.—To save his country from the horrors of civil war and his capital from capture and per- haps sack by a victorious army, Gen- eral Huerta intends to resign the pro- visional presidency and leave Mexico. This statement was made today by Roberto Esteva-Ruiz, Mexican sub- secretary of foreign affairs, who reach- ed Vera Cruz from Mexico City on his way to Burope. Huerta, he said, will surrender the government -to Fran- cisco Carbajal, the new minister of foreign affairs, whe, in turn, will step aside when the time comes. for some other provisional president wholly ac- ceptable to the constitutionalists, Resignation Momentarily Expected. Just when the change will come, Es- teva-Ruiz said he did not know, “The president did not make me his confl- dant.” he declared, “nor_ did I have much time to talk with him after it was determined that I should I the cabinet.” He was convinced, how- ever, that Huerta would lay down his power during the coming week and it would not surprise him, he said, if his resignation were announced to- morrow. Carbajal, he added. was suggested provisional president by the Amers ican delegation at the Niagara Falls medidtion conference and agreed to by Huerta’'s delegates anq the South American mediators, while the consti- tutionalists indirectly had:-conveyed would be acceptab] “That is, sub-secretary, would be a more provisional president than the real provisional president to be named later.” Doubtful of Villa Agtitude. When the suggestion was first made, Villa had pot indicated his willingness to accept Carbajel, Esteva-Ruiz went on, and he doubted Villa's willingness to accept him now. As fof Zapata, he had no idea that the southern leader would recognize any provisional presidency until demands for the re- distribution of lands had been com- plied with, and he intimated that ob- jections to such a solution of Mex- ico’s problems might come from cer- tain parts of the northern states. Esteva-Rulz is convinced that un- less something occurs to disarrange the present plan, fighting between fed- erals and constitutionalists is over. This, he said, was indicated by the evacuation of Guadalajara. Know That Longer Resistance is Futile Like Porfirio Diaz. who fled from his country in the hope that his going might avert a long and costly civil war, Huerta, according to Esteva-Ruiz, has’decided to yield to superior num- bers. Both Huerta and General Blan- quet, his minister of war, know that longer resistance is futile, and would mean nothing more than the slaughter of thousands and perhaps the sacking 1 of the capital itself, with perhaps hor- rors perpetrated by a victorious army, joined by mad mobs from the clums of the city. Blanquet to Leave With Huerta. He expected that Blanquet wouid leave Mexico City perhaps when Huer- ita fled, but not before. Bnrique Ger- stieta, ‘minister of justice, had offerod his resignation, so he had heard, bui he was not sure that the report was true. He assumed, however, that Gerostieta would resign, and all .ne olu cabinet as well. The new membears of tae cabinet lately appointed, he went on, were supposed to be those chosen by Carbajal with the idea that they were men to whom the constitu- tionalists would not object so serfous- ly. as least, as to interfere with the preliminary’ work which Carbajal had undertaken of finding someone to take his place us president ad interim. Minister of Finance to Visit South America. Like Adolfo de Ja Lama, the Mexi- €an minister of finance, who arrived here yesterday, also on his way to Bu- Tope, the sub-secretary of foreign .f- fairs professed still to maintain his connection with the government. He had been named, he said, special am- bassador to Argentinu, Brazil and Chi to convey to those countries the thanks rof the Mexican republic-for thelr ef- | forts toward mediation. With his family he will sail from Vera Cruz on the steamer Alfonso XIII for Spain, and from that country, he declared, he would go on his mission to South America. Attempted Murder, Tl-;%h ided.

Meriden, Conn., July 12.—Joseph Swistock came into the police I!Atl?rn voluntarily this nooca and admitted that he fired the revolver shot on July 4th which serlously wounded John Kay, an eleven-year-old boy. Swi- Stock left the city the. night of the Fourth, fearing that the police would accuse him of firing at Kay. He re- turned today. Swistock sald he did not notice the Kay boy, who was ly- ing in a tent in an adjoining back- yard, and simply went to the window of his second floor tenement and fired the revolver with the ball carcridge.

After a few words, one of the men is said to have drawn a revoiver and shot Tonalunus. This was the story told to the au- thorities by the young woman. She said the two men fled after the shot, but she coulg not give a good descrip- tion of them, Coroner Mix was notified. He came from New Haven this afternoon and took a statement from the injured man. . BODY FOUND FLOATING OFF PINE ORCHARD Thought to Be That of Frank John- son of New Haven, Branford, Conn., July 12.—The body of a man found floating off Pine Qr- chard today. It was towed ashore and taken to_the morgue of a local under- taker. The identity is a matter of doubt, as the body is considerably de- composed, but it is thought it may be that of Frank Johnson of New Haven, who was drowned during a storm off the Pine Orchard shore last week. Johnson and a companion named Albert Gillis, also of New Ha- ven, were out on the Sound in a rowboat when the storm came up. Johnson was swept overboard, but Gillis managed to keep the boat afloat by baling, until he was picked up the following morning by a passing tug after having spent a night of terror in the heavy seas. After his rescue he told of the fate af his companion. OBITUARY, Associate Justice H. H. Lurten. Atlantic City, N.
