NEWPORT, R. I., Aug. 10.—The battleships Louisiana and New Hampshire cancelled all shore leave and store rooms hurriedly and made every preparation to leave at a moment's notice for Vera Cruz, wh ‘Americans. When orders were first received it was expected that the suddenly to-day, filled their bunkers here Mexicans are again menacing battleships would steam out of the harbor this afternoon, but later it was weary 4 that their departure was to Cbnditions atthe Mexicafi port. WASHINGTON, Aug, 10.—Scrious anti-foreign demonstrations reported to-day to the Washington Government from Vera Cruz gave State and Navy Department officials considerable con- cern, particularly in view of the Pan- American conference to be resumed in New York to-morrow to devise means for restoring peace In Mexico, Advices from Commander McNamee at Vera Cruz dep) a threatening @ituation at the seat of Carranzn's government led to a conference be- tween Secretary Lansing, Rear Ad- mira! Benson, Acting Secretary of the Navy, and Leon J. Canova, Chief of the Division of Mexican Affairs Comman MeNamee’s report had at firat been regarded as alarming enough to warrant sending reinforee- ments to Vera Cruz, and preliminary q fers were given to the battleships Louisiana and New Hampshire at Newport to make ready for immediate @ailing, Deliberation on the situation, how- ever, resulted in the determination to await further reports before despatch- ing any battleships, there being a genuine desire on the part of Admin- dstration officials to do nothing to stir up feeling that might be embarrassing to the Pan-American conferees i An order was sent, however, direct~ ing the gunboat Marietta to proceed fat once from Progreso to Vera Cruz, fa distance of about 360 miles. Rear Admiral Benson explained that the Marletta might be utilized to convey the Brazilian and Guatemalan Min- isters in Mexico to New Orleans. Secretary Lansing announced late to-day that only one warship would be sent to Vera Cruz and that It was going to relieve whatever ship is used for transportation of the Brazilian and Gautemalan Ministers, Secretary Lansing denied flatly that military or naval expeditions were boing pre- pared and declared such reports only interfered with the success of efforts to settle Mexican affairs peacefully. President Wilson, at Cornish, N. H., was in communication to-day with Secretary Lansing regarding a re- quest from Commander McNamee that a battleship squadron be sent to Mexico and was understood to be in- clined to grant the request. (he Président shortly after noon sent a code despatch to Secretary Lansing containing Instructions for yceretary Daniels regarding the Vera Crus situation. While the contents of the message were carefully guarded, it was under- stood the President's first step had been to ask for additional informa- tion, It was sald here the President would take action within the next few hours, He was impressed with the word from Vera Cruz and it was expected steps would be taken to protect Americans and other forelgn- ers in case of trouble. Soon after the receipt by the Preal- dent of word regurding the Vera Crus situation, it became known that he wae planning to return to Washing be delayed, pending further reports ® ton by Thursday or Friday next. Anti-foreign demonstrations in Vora Cruz were the subject of a long cablegram received at the Navy De- partment to-day. Acting Secretary Benson said the despatch told of speeches being mado in front of pub- lic buildings and on street cornert jin an effort to incite the people against all foreigners, especially Americans, No acts of violence were reported, Gautemalan Minister Ortega and his family took refuge on the U. S. qun- boat Sacramento at Vera Cruz last night, Col Silliman reported to the State Department. Ortega, ordered by Carranza to leave Mexico, had no means of trans- ion at the time, and Commander McNamee, under instructions from Washington, offered him refuge on the Sacramento. Commander McNamee's report di not give details, but officials here be- leve the anti-American feeling which Commander McNamee reported is a direct outgrowth of the Pan-Ameri- can negotiations in Washington for adjustment of differences between the factions. Other developments in Mexico, such as Gen. Carranza's expulsion of the Guatemalan Minister and bis differ- ences with the Brazilian Minister be- cause tho countries of both partici- pated in the Pan-American confer- ences are taken as evidence of Car- ranza's displeasure with the stand the United States has assumed, Trouble with Carranza !s deemed imminent. The First Chief Is hasten- ing preparations to move to Mexico City. His position there, It !s agreed, will be much stronger than at Vera Chuz Once In the Interlor, It Is bel he will declare himself Provisional Presi- dent and defy the United States. That this would be the signal for an anti- American demonstration, perhaps an anti-American outbreak, was thought highly probabl poe CARRANZA FACTION STIRS DEMONSTRATIONS AGAINST THE U, S. Demonstrations against the United States are being fomented by the Car- ranza faction in Mexico, according to exiles in New York, in order to scare this Government out of the plan for foretble interference with the bandit revolution, The Carranzistas do not want the United States to step into Mexico be- cause It would put an end to their plan for finally dominating the situa- tion, if they can defeat Villa and Zapata, Threats against Americans at Vera} Cruz are alleged to be a part of the plan to influence the Pan-American |! to be held in New York U.S. STEELIS UP AS REPORT SHOWS INCREASED ORDERS aa Shares Pass 76 When Un- filled Contracts Indicate Ad- vance of 250,000 Tons. The report of the United States Steel Corporation, showing an in~ crease of 260,344 tons in unfilled or- ders for July, which was made public this afternoon, was above the expec- tation of the stee! trade, but below the expectation of Wail Street, which had looked for an Increase approxi- mating 600,000 tons, This caused a slight reaction in Steel common, which had gone to! 76%, the bighest price since 1912 and an advance to-day of 2% points.

ZEPPELIN DESTROYED IN BATTLE IN THE AIR. LONDON, Aug. 10.—Thirteen persons were killed and twelve wounded in an air raid made last ‘over an unmentioned portion: “Brig east const," women, four men and two children were wounded. One Zeppelin was seriously damaged by the gunfire of the land defenses and was reported this morning being towed into Ostend. She has since been subjected to continual attacks by aircraft from Dunkirk and has been under heavy fire, and it is now reported that after having her back broken and her rear compartments damaged she was completely destroyed by an explosion, Lieut. R. Lord, who was one of the pilots sent up to engage the enemy, was killed on landing in the dark. Last night's air raid—the fifteenth since the war began and the great. est yet attempted by the Germans—was probably Participated in by both Zeppelins and aeroplanes, though the Admiralty is silent on this point. The official announcement did not say how many air machines were en- gaged in the raid. Amsterdam despatches reported that five Zeppelins had been sighted ” off the Dutch coast early to-day headed in a northwesterly direction. It they maintained their course, the Amsterdam despatch eaid, they would reach the coast of Scotland. By swinging slightly to the south the Zeppelins would have arrived off the Tyne district where some of the greatest arms factories of England are located. The German Zeppelin brought to earth is the first Positively known to have been wrecked while on @ mission of destruction to England: Only recently one of Germany's million dollar difigibles was destroyed over Belgium by the British aviator Reginald Warneford, who was killed a few days later on a French flying field.
