Over the Battery he turned aouth and climbed about 1,000 feet higher, Next he turned his machine over on its side and sent it around in circles like a dog chasing its tall.

Repeating his loop over Hrooklyn, the East River and Lower Manhattan, Niles did more stunts over the Up- per Bay, and then, climbing skyward, made his third loop. By this time he had a gathering of spectators that he must have seen clustered on the roofs and in the skyscraper windows, for at a point considerably to the eastward of where the Banker's Trust Building pierces the skyline he did about as thrilling a spiral and loop-the-loop in combination as any- body ever saw. Niles wound up his exhibtion by mounting until his machine waa a mere speck in the sky, Taking a 1,000-foot dive, looping the loop twice, doing a back flop, diving again and righting the monoplane a few hun- dred feet above the surface of the water. So well had he calculateed his position that when his machine struck an even keel he was a little to the west of and headed directly for Governor's Island.

Latest information reaching Gen. | Villa from farmers and other sources indicates that Gen. Medino Barron, | the Federal commander, has 12,000 well armed men, forty cannon and more than 100 machine guns. Barron has made the moat of Villa's tem- porary inability to advance from tho north and has been bringing rein- forcements and ammunition almost daily from the South. Gen, Villa will probably not be able | to get more than two-thirds of his | army of 20,000 into the battle. A conflict rivalling in ferocity that which preceded the fall of Torreon ta) predicted by military observers. Though outnumbered, the Federals have a very strong advantage of po- sition, the hill of Labule and the! fortress of Guadelupe being almost impregnable. Gen. Villa is confident that he will drive the Federal force away. CARRRANZA FIRES TWO VILLA OPPONENTS FROM OFFICE.

Both were jeaid to bave been opposed to Villa's southern campaign and in favor of the creation of the new military sone which blockéd his progress until Vil insisted on continuing his advance toward Mexico City. The prospective appointment of Eduardo F, Hay as Chief of Staff was bailed as agreeable to both fac- tions. Hay, now Chief of Staff to Gen. Iturbe tn Sinaloa, won bis spurs fn the Madero revolution. He is a civil engineer and a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, Ysidro Fabela, a young attorney of Mexico City, took a conspicuous part in drafting Carranza’s notes to the Washington Government and to Nia- gare Falls in connection with the Mexican mediation conference, It was predicted here that Luis Cabrera, now in Washington, would succeed him in the Foreign Relations port- follo. The presence near Carranza of Hay and Cabrera would create a dif- ferent attitude on the part of the rebel government, both internally and internationally, in the belief of local observers, MEXICANS WILL SETTLE OWN| AFFAIRS UNDER NEW PLAN.

The Rodman Wanamaker flyer, hav- ing been christened America, launched | and proven as to her ability in the | water, she will to-day be given a try- out in the alr at Hammondsport, by Lieut. John Cyril Porte, who 1s to at- tempt to fly across the Atlantic. The trial sail yesterday was postponed because of the lateness of the launch- Ing. ; The craft seems trim and worthy. The christening was done on the shore of Lake Keuka by Miss Cath- erine Masson. Six attempts were made to break the bottle of cham- pagne, and Lieut. Porte finally suc- ceeded with a sledge hammer. ‘The Pleces of glass were carried away as souvenirs. Lieut. Porte believes in omens, and tled two horseshoes to the cham-, Pagne bottle. To the flyer were at- tached a United States flag and an Aero Club pennant. No British flag was available, so tho correspondent of a London newspaper stuck to the bow a postage stamp bearing a pic- ture of King George in honor of Lieut. Porte, R. N. It took forty men to push the biz red flyer down the ways. When she reached the water her balance was perfect. There was no gasoline in the tanks, and she rode high on the water with the balancing pontoons Just touching the surface. No at- tempt was made to start the engines, and the America was hauled ashore to be prepared for to-day's fight. OMcials of the Aero Club and Mr. Wanamaker's personal representa- tive arrived to-day. There are still some minor changes to be made be- fore the transatlantic trip can be started. If the trials are as success- ful as hoped, Lieut. Porte expects to begin packing the machine for abip- ment to St, Johns the latter part of the week.
