Release followed on vigorous repre sentations to the authorities by Ad miral Mayo. Gen. Ignnrlo Zaragoza expressed his regret to the Admiral. Although President Huerta, in an offi cial statement to Nelson O'Shatigh nessy, the Ameriran Charge dAffalres, has apologized for the unusual zeal ousness of the Mexican commander at Tampico, there exists here great un easiness because Admiral Mayo is re ported to have demanded that the Gov ernment authorities at Tampico salute the American colors. President Huerta's statement was as follows: "In view of the fart that the Charge d'Affalres of the United States hears that the whnleboat carrying tho Ameri can sailors was flying tho flag of his country, an Investigation will be made to establish the responsibility of Col onel Hinojosa. In accord with tho line of conduct which the Government of Mexico always has followed In ful fillment of Its duties of an Internation al character regnrdlng all nations, It deplores what has occrrred. Called Mistake Of Subordinates. "This case has grown out of noth ing more than a mistake of subordinate officials, since the superior in rank of this same official, General Zaragoza, at once proceeded to point out that what had happened was unintentional, and Imposed upon Colonel Illnojosa disciplinary punishment, within the faculty of said General Zaragoza. "If the Investigation which is to be mnde should develop greater responsi bility on the part of Colonel Hinojosa, a corresponding penalty will be Im posed upon him by the authorities legally competent in the case." Rear-Admlral Frank F. Fletcher, the ranking admiral of the Gulf, who Is now at Vera Cruz, lias forwarded to Charge O'Shaughnessy Admiral Mayo's report to him, in which the Admiral says the paymaster and marines "were marched through the strets two blocks, then back to their boat and released." Asked Disavowal and Apology. In view of the publicity, Rear-Admlral Mayo asked for a dlsovowal and apology, and also that tho o 111 cor In charge of the Mexican squad should be punished, and that the American flag should be saluted immediately.

TO PAY COLOMBIA FOR CANAL ZONE SAILORS FORM HUMAN CHAIN Treaty Signed at Bogota Agree ing on $25,000,000. Car was On Way From Portsmouth Jail When It Leaped Through An Open Draw Chauffeur Goes Down With Car. Norfolk, Va. Two men were drown ed, and four others had a narrow escape here when an automobile, bear ing five of the Jamestown bookmakers who were released from the Ports mouth jail, plunged through au open draw Into the Elizabeth River. The four who were rescued from the Icy waters are at St Vincent's Hospital here. So sudden was the accident that none of the occupants had an oppor tunity to leap for their lives, and they sank into the river before tho eyes of a score of ' w itnesses. Only quick action on the part of a number of sail ors who wero standing nearby, the first to regain their presence of mind, saved the four, who were struggling against a strong tldo. Four of those in tho machine were bookmakers, who were among the 13 arrested at Jamestown several days ago, charged with bookmaking. They had been In the Portsmouth jail, which is not far distant from Norfolk, and an automobile had been employed to take them from the Jail to this city after the necessary papers for their re lease had been procured.

The trip to this city was made without a mishap until the Elizabeth River draw bridge was reached, which leads directly Into the city. A ferry had already blown for the draw to open, but those in the machine apparently did not hear It In time to stop. With the draw wldo open they continued across the bridge, while a score of terrified persons looked on. Too late to stop, the chauffeur saw the open spaco with the Icy waters below. He mad a frantic effort to stop, but the machine shot clear across tho open space, and to those looking on, seemed to plung straight down into the water. With a sickening hiss, caused by the hot engine coming In contact with the water, it sank be neath the surface, carrying with It its human burden.

The Republican ticket polled fewer than 2,000 voles and the Progressives hardly 1,000, while the So cialist ticket was fifth. Washington, D. C. Undisguised gratification is felt by administration officials hero at the prospect of finally healing the breach between the United Stntos and Colombia through the treaty Just signed at Bogota. If this conven tion 1b ratified by the Senates of the two countries, as the officials are con fident it will be, It will close amicably a bitter controversy, brought on by the secession of Panama in 1903 and the granting to the United States the Canal Zone and which has cast a blight upon the relations between the United States and all Latin America. The principal article of the treaty provides for the payment to Colombia of $25,000,000 six months after ratifica tions have been exchanged between the two countries, as Indemnity for the losses she has sustained. This Is granted In a lump sum, and the treaty does not attempt to specify how much of this amount Is In reparation for the loss of Panama or how much for the loss of the Panama Railway rights. Colombia Is granted the right to ship coal, salt and petroleum from her At lantic to her Pacific ports, either through the canal or across the Pan ama Railway, without any charge other than the cost of freight, no duty being assessed. These articles are not pro duced along the Pacific side of the country and there Is no easy communi cation over land through Colombia on account of the high Andes Mountains. Fixes Boundary Line. A third article fixes the boundary line between Colombia and Panama and restores to the latter a strip of ter ritory which has been claimed by Pan ama. This line Is tho same as that which was provided in the Cortes Arosemena treaty between Colombia and ranama, one of the tripartite treaties never ratified by Colombia, ex cept that it fixes definitely the point on the Pacific Coast where the boundary terminates, which Is to be mid-way between Points Ooconltla and Ardlta. The former treaty left this point to be settled by a tribunal of arbll ration to be appointed. Even after tho approval of the present treaty by the Colombian and American Senates, a treaty be tween Colombia and Panama will bo necessary before this boundary settle ment Is final. The United States agrees to use Its good offices with Pan ama In tho matter. Another article expresses the hope that friendly relations between the United States and Colombia may con tinue from this tlmo forward. No rights for a new Inter-ceeanlc I canal across Colombia by the Atrato River route, and no conling privileges on San Andreas and Provldencla Is lands, ofT the Colombian coast. It was added, were contained in the treaty. While the Colombian minister, Senor Betancourt, received a cnble from his foreign office, Informing him of the signing of the agreement, the State Department was still awaiting word from Mr. Thompson. The Colombian Congress will be called In special session to puss on the treaty before It is submitted to the Senate hero.
