Rebels are Cornered Near IraiHiav-
to Ono of Greatest IlaUlca of tlie
War 1m Impending.
WASHINGTON, April 7. The cap
ture of General Villa by the Carran
xlstas la believed to be a possibility as
a result of the situation faced by 12,
000 of the Mexican leader's troops
near Irapuato.
At the state department the belief
was expressed that 30,000 Carraniis-
tos have the smaller Villa force cor
nered 30 miles from Irapuato, The
department Is without advices but
every indication la that the Mexican
factions are on the eve of one of the
greatest battles fought In the south
ern republic In months. In view of the
numerical superiority of the Carran
tlstas and the fact the Vllltstaa are
practically surrounded, the defeat of
the latter army Is hardly more than
expected.

INTERSTATE COMMISSION TO
DECIDE WHO OWNS VESSELS
QUESTION' OK RIGHT TO PASS
THROUGH PANAMA CANAL
IS INVOLVED.
WASHINGTON. April 7. The In
terstate commerce commission an
nounced that It will hold a hearing
soon to determine the ownership of
the steamships Great Northern and
Northern Pacific, which will be oper
ated between San Francisco and As-
Astoria. No date has yet been set
for the hearing. That there is an is
sue over the ownerships of the ves
sel was not known until the an
nouncement of the hearing was
made. The question arose over the
vessels going through the canal. The
canal act prohibits railroad-owned
steamships using the waterway and
provides a heavy penalty for viola
tion. It had been supposed that the
Hill Interests owned the vessels.
Government officials at first ques
tioned the right of the Great North
ern to travel through the Panama
canal. The Issue was submitted to
the war department and Secretary
Garrison decided, inasmuch as the
ownership of the vessel was unsettled
that the Great Northern be allowed
to pass. Subsequently the department
put up the question to the Interstate
commerce commission.

EXTREME PRESSURE IS BEING
BROUGHT TO BEAU FROM
BOTH SIDES.
iajhuij, Apjrll 7. After an ex
tended session the British cabinet ad
journed tonight without reaching a
decision on the prohibition question.
This shattered the Immediate hopes

believed a compromise is the best
that can be hoped for. , it was an

George will confer with representa
tives of the liquor Interests Friday.
LONDON. April 7. With extreme
pressure being exerted from both
sides on the question of prohibition
for Great Britain the cabinet evident
ly is undecided Just what action
should be taken. The ministry is
wavering between the demand of
David Lloyd-George for absolute pro
hibition and a warning from the
Drewers and liquor dealers to keep
nanas orr." As a result: emu. cm-
rents have developed and it appeared
caoinet might possibly put the
oan on distilled liquors but refrain
from any interference upon the traf
