The battleships at Philadelphia and Hampton Roads, it is bo- | lieved, will be ready to raise anchors to-night or early to- morrow | morning. , President Wilson was asked through Secretary Tumulty for a statement in explanation of the action of the Navy Department. | He sent back word that there was nothing to say at this time. Secretary Bryan was asked if he had ordered Charge Rear-Admiral Howard is in| O'Shaughnessy to demand his passport. “1 will not discuss the subject in any way,” answered Bryan with a show of heat, turning on his heel. The United States has ten warships and 1,200 marines at Tampico and Vera Cruz ready for any emergency; ready to carry out any orders to Rear-Admiral Mayo or Rear-Admiral Fletcher. At Tampics are the battleships Utah, Connecticut and Minnesota; the cruisers Chester, Des Moines, Dolphin, San Francisco and Solace, under command of Rear-Admiral Mayo. At Vera Cruz are the battleship Florida and the marine trans- port Prairie. At Tampico are about 600 marines scattered on all the war vessels. At Vera Cruz 600 marines are aboard the Prairie. Huerta Expected to Back Down. Government officials believe, on their knowledge of Mexican character, and say that the President, havingcalled Huerta’sbiulf, the Mexican Dictator will probably back down and order the salute to be fired. There is no question that the President hopes that this will be the outcome, but he is prepared to insist on the na- tional honor being safeguarded no matter what the consequences, When the concentration of the fleet is compiete Admiral Badger will have under his command in Mexican waters twenty-odd big warships. Admiral Fletcher, at Vera Cruz, now has with him the battleship Florida and the transport Prairie with 600 marines, ‘Yampico, has the battleships Utah, Connecticut, Minnesota and the cruisers Admiral Mayo, Des Moines, Chester, Dolphin and San Francisco and 600 marines, The hospital ship Solace will join him at that port in a day or two.

In addition to those ships the battleships Georgia, Virginia, Nebraska and Rhode Island, now at Atlantic coast navy yards in reserve, may be attached to Admiral Badger's command. will arrive at Tampico within a week. While Admiral Badger himself and some of his ships are at Hampton Roads other ships of the Atlantic ficet are scattered among thelr hohe navy yards at Philadelphia, Boston and New York, where they have just returned from their epring target practise. to get them to sea. The Quartermaster’s Department has been working for weeks on the question of transports, and it is said are in shape to establish a record if necessary. “ARMY READY TO STRIKE.

Wahle depended to win a new trial for the gunmen last Saturday. “I refused to have anything to do with these men," said Mr. Shay, “but John Becker, since his brother's con- viction, has been lending an ear to any one, listening to the wildest kind of stories and forgetting in his zeal that he might easily be ‘framed up’ by the persons who pretended anxiety q|to help him.

The testimony of Burwell and Dresner ts already the subject of in- vestigation by Assistant District-At- torney Groehl by direction of Dia- trict-Attorney Whitman and it was said at tho Criminal Court Building to-day that indictments were likely to be the result, Mr, Shay admitted his desire to wash his hands of all such develop- ments of what otherwise, as he ex- pressed it, is a clear case.” “It can be conducted cleanly and we PRISONER'S BROTHER FORCES LAWYER TQ RESIGN AS Shay, in Announcing Withdrawal, Declares Overzealous Labors of Ac- cused Policeman’s Kin Threaten to Muddle a Case Now Clear.
