F., Turned Out for Ambulance Duty and Coffins Are Being Hur riedly Constructed. ST. JOHNS. X. i. April 2. Death traveled in a sale that overtook tlte sealing fleets last Tuesday. The steamer New Foundland lost 64 of her crew, while 37 were rescued, of whom some will be maimed as a result of ex posure. The men lost were far from their ships seeking seals when the blinding snow swooped down on them. They were exposed for 48 hours before as sistance arrived. lee Floes Drift Away. The Xew Foundland was one of a fleet of 15 ships, carrying more than 2000 men. scattered among the ice floes near Belle Isle Strait. The crews were on the floe and hunting seal, which have their homes on these crystal plains and the hunt had taken them from four to six miles from their ships. When the blizzard swept on them the crews of the other steamers managed to regain their vessels, but the floes on which the Xew Foundlan-d's mel were hunting drifted away from th main body of ice. When darkness lei' that night not one had returned. The ship's crew numbered 130 men, of whom 101 were on the ice. Captain Wesley K.ean, his officers, engineers, stokers and cooks remained aboard. Powerful Vessels Begin Search. The weather cleared this morning: and Captain Kean signaled the steam ers Beliaventure and Stephano, which were nearest him. of the loss of his men. These two vessels, being fast and powerful, smashed their way into the floes in search of the missing men. The captain of the Beliaventure late today sent wireless messages here, saying that he had picked up 30 survivors. Sixty-four are known to have per ished and 37 were rescued, according to a statement authorized by Colonial Secretary Bennett, Acting Premier, late tonight. The steamer Beliaven ture accounted for 5S dead and 33 Hy ing, the Stephano for one dead and two living and the Florizel for five dead. Vessel Believed Safe. First reports of the loss of the men of the Newfoundland were confused and generally were accepted as re ferring to the Southern Cross, and it was not until late in the day that the identity of the crew was determined. Karly information that the Newfound land had been sunk by the .ice proved untrue. Wireless messages describing the lass of her hunters were read as referring to the ship itself. - .There still is doubt as to how the vessel survived the storm, but as the latest messages from the Beliaventure and the Stephano make no mention to the contrary, it is assumed that the ship still floats. ... Naval Reservists Ordered Oat. Both the Stephano and the Beliaven ture have been ordered to make all speed for port, but tonight's blizzard may delay them. The Orenfell Sea men's Institute has been converted into an emergency hospital. The whole contingent of naval reservists on the British drill ship Calypso has been or dered out for ambulance duty and cof fins are being hurriedly constructed. All the fishermen are from the coast. Wireless messages here tonight re port the steamer Southern Cross safe at Channel, N. F. Her loss, with a crew of 170 men. had been feared.

John Lind. ex-Governor of Minnesota and for the ast eight months President Wilson's personal representative in Mexico, will sail from Vera Cruz tomorrow for Washington on the yacht Mayflower. ine announcement or Mr. Lind's pros pective visit was made by President Wilson, with the explanation that his envoy had requested a vacation and rest from his labors in a tropical cli mate. He will return to Mexico after his vacation. The President asserted that Mr. Lind's departure for the United States should not be construed as in the na ture of a recall or as forecasting any change ot policy by the Washington Government toward either faction in Mexico. Xo negotiations of any charac ter were pending between the Huerta Government and the United States and the recent conference between Senator portiilo 1 . Hojas. Huerta's minister of Foreign Affairs, and Mr. Lind had de veloped nothing tangible or important, and merely was a friendly talk. Climate A fleets Health. Except for the five-day trip to Pass Christian, Miss., last January aboard the scout cruiser Chester, when he did not go ashore, ulr. Lind has been con stantly observing Mexican affairs dur ing periods alternately critical and tedious. When he visited the President at Pass ennsttan, Mr. Lind spoke of the ill ef fects which the tropical clomate had had on his health, but declined the President's invitation then to return to the United States, preferring to con tinue further his work of observation ir. Jlna s request for a vacation at mis time was regarded as significant in official circles. It was taken to mean that he saw no prospects of Gen eral Huerta yielding the reins of gov ernment in Mexico City through diolo matlc persuasion and that affairs would remain in status quo pending the out come of the constitutionalist forces' march southward. Huerta'a Message Coasldered. General Huerta's message to Con gress yesterday, in which he expressed a determination to remain in office un til his country -was at peace strength ened the belief here that Mr. Lind saw no chance to affect the situation in Mexico by his continued presence and opportunely sought the vacation while no important questions were pending. Mr. Lind is being paid out of the con tingent fund of the State Department. Secretary Bryan has not divulged what salary is being paid him, but under the statutes the department is not obliged to give an accounting of expenditures of this fund. REBELS CAPTURE TORREON (Continued Krom Flrat Pce. Lerdo and Gomez Palacio, populous suburbs of Torreon, and all three con nected by a belt streetcar line. Lerdo was not defended, but it took three main assaults, in which the rebels lost heavily, to take Gomez Palacio. In the final attack on the city troops were withdrawn from Lerdo. whereupon the federals occupied it and another sanguinary conflict was necessitated to retake it. Last Friday, six days ago. General r- - - rt BELOW, VILLA AD Monclovio Herrera, with his own brig ade and party of Beneavides' Zaragoza brigade of veterans, made the first dash against Torreon. He entered by the east and penetrated to the bull ring north of the center of the town before he was checked. Street fighting, in which hand gren ades were the most useful weapons used, followed and news from the front, save in meager official bulletins received with considerable reserve, were all that reached the outside world. BukIc Call.' Instantly Acclaimed. Tho question mark after the situa tion never loomed larger than tonight. Early in the evening Carrania an nounced the status in Torreon remained the same. Then came the bugle call of victory. Mexicans recognized it in a flash and the streets became thronged instantly. Out of the dives, saloons and gambling hells the crowd rushed until they were empty and the crowds stormed up the street to C&rranza'a residence. Again and again the bugler Sounded the call and a great wave of cheering rose. The resorts which have gained for Juarez in the minds of some stu dents the name of the wick edest city of the world, were empty. The electric lights strung about the Carranza residence last Sunday to wel come him were turned on. lighting up the draped and festooned red. white and green of the Mexican national col ors. Viva Carranga!" "Viva Villa!" "Viva Mexico." came the shrill vocal cries of the crowd. Toasts Drank to General in Field. Inside General Carranza and his confidential advisers were drinking champasne to Francisco Villa, the hero of the campaign. Mayor Padres, realizing that some one must be calm, took occasion to or der the saloons to close. The translation of the message re ceived by General Carranza from Gen eral Villa is as follows: "I have the honor to announce that after 11 days of severe fighting the constitutionalist army, which I have the honor to command. Is in undisputed possession of the City of Torreon. the last remnant of the federal army hav ing taken Might this afternoon. I re gret to say that General Velasco has escaped with an escort of a few men and is being pursued by my cavalry. My losses will number 1500 killed and wounded. The Federal loss in killed, wounded and prisoners will be fully 12.000. "FRANCISCO VILLA. "General in Command." Town Illuminated, Soldier Parade. With General Carranza when he re ceived the news were Mrs. Carranza, their daughters Virginia and Julia; Jesus Valdez Leal, a friend, and Sam uel Belden, of San Antonio, Tex., and the telegraph operator. By Carranza's orders all the town was illuminated, soldiers of the garri son paraded and the military band played. The National salute was fired, church bells rung and whistles blown. in ai ra.no when the noise of the luinun orirtea over, curious persons called up the newspapers to find out whether an attack on Juarn wo. ing made.

WASHINGTON. April 2. Adminis tration leaders in the Senate buckled on their armor today and plunged into the Panama tolls fight, determined to maintain an unyielding position until the end of the controversy. Although the House bill to repeal toll exemption for American ships is rest ing in the committee on Inter-oceanic canals, there were many Informal con ferences today relating to the issue, ana among; the developments was a visit of Secretary of State Bryan to the capitol in the interest of the Adminis tration policy. "No compromise" was the slogan of the Administration leaders in their con ference. So many bills and resolu tions have been Introduced tending to cloud the plain issue of repeal that it has been determined to make It plain from the outset that no temporizing; is to be countenanced. President Want Prompt Report. President Wilson told, inquirers he expected no factional delay or filibus tering, and believed from what Sen ators told him that there would be a prompt report from the committee on inter-oceanic canals. The President said there were one or two members of the committee who were against re peal, but who, he understood, would vote to bring the question promptly before the Senate in an early report. The President took occasion to deny published reports that he had sent any ultimatum to the Senate through Sen ator Owen or any one else with a view to forcing early action. He added that no proposals for com promise or change In the repeal meas ure had been brought to him. and sig nificantly suggested that amendments were not being offered by Administra tion leaders. The President told callers frankly that while he did not expect obstruc tive tactics in the Senate he expected a full discussion of the question there, and was confident the repeal bill would pass. Kniaura of Canensea Denied. The President asserted no proposals for a caucus had been mentioned to him. Reports were in circulation to day that an effort might be made to force the repeal bill into a caucus, but these rumors were promptly denied. Democratic leaders asserting that a caucus would not be necessary, at the same time insisting that there was no doubt that the repeal bill would have a safe majority when the vote was taken. It was pointed out by such Democratic Senators as O'Gorman and Chamberlain, who are openly opposed to toll, exemption repeal that they could not go into a caucus which would be designed to bind them. One Republican Senator who will vote for the repeal said that a can vass of the Senate today showed a clear majority of nine for the pill, the probability being that several votes counted for the opposition would be reversed. Several Republicans, how ever. It Is now generally understood, have decided to line up against the re peal, notwithstanding that they voted against tolls exemption originally. Among these are Senators Penrose and Oliver, of Pennsylvania, who have pub licly announced their change of posi tion. Bryan Talka With Seaalora. Secretary Bryan discussed the Issue with several Senators while at the capitol. among; them Senator Ashurst. of Arizona, one of the Democrats openly opposed to the repeal. Senator Ashurst said after his talk with ti,. Secretary of State that lie had not changed his views. Mr. Bryan also dis cussed the situation with Senator Over man, of North Carolina, who is in favor of repeal. Representative Moss, of West Vir ginia. Republican, who voted against the Sims bill, introduced today ' a reso lution to declare that it is the sense of the House that Its repeal of the clause granting exemption to coastwise ship ping was "in furtherance of the desire of the United States to facilitate nego tiations between the United States and Great Britain, and in no sense to be construed as waiving or denying any right possessed by the United States to grant exemption from tolls to her vessels of war and commerce." 'MOTHER' JONES' PLEA OUT Strike Sympathizer Writes Villa She Lives Anions Hats. DENVER. April 2. An appeal which "Mother" Mary Jones smuggled out of the County Jail at Walsenberg. Colo., where she is held, incommunicado as a military prisoner, was forwarded to General Francisco Villa today by Horace N. Hawkins, attorney for the United Mine Workers of America. The aged strike sympathizer is a per sonal friend of the Mexican constitu tionalist commander. In her letter, which is addressed: "To REFSH AIR AND HEALTH Mental work calls an unusual supply of blood to the brain: the process of digestion calls the blood to the stom ach. Brain work immediately after a hearty meal often causes Indigestion because the brain has first call on a supply of blood that should be helping the stomach. Wherever, in the economy of the body, work is to be done there Is a demand for bright, red blood. Thin blood or blood dark with Impurities will not do because it is the oxygen carried by the blood that does the work and oxygen-bearing blood is bright and red. This life-sustaining oxygen is taken up by the blood from the air which It meets in the lungs. Hence the great need of fresh air eirery hour of the day and night. But fresh air is useless If the blood cannot take up the oxygen which it gives. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills enable the blood to take up more oxygen because they increase the part of the blood that car ries the oxygen. This corrects the las situde, palpitation of the heart, shaky nerves and the pallor that are the re sults of thin, impure blood. You must have pure, rich blood to enjoy complete health.
