All this is only part of the hale of romance that hangs around #teamship Chicora, built in Liv by Airds Company in 1864--56 years ago. At that time she could walk away from any battleship, and was built te run the blockade of the United States men-o'-war blockading the ports of the Seuthera Confeder- acy, and carry in goods from Emng- land. Under the ownership and com- mand of Captain George Boyton, she plied between the British port of Turk's Island in the Babamas, and the blockaded city of Charlestown, S.C.

Washington, May 13.--Following the collapse of the Carranza regime in Mexico, a new government, with General Adolfo de La Huerta at its head has been formed. This an- cnouncement wag made here by the mission of the revolution, whose chief is Senor Alvaro Torre Diaz. The new government 1s already functioning and it is understood to have indicated that it desires the recognition of the United States.

Interesting as in- between General Pablo Gonzales and General Obregon, it was said here that Diaz is a closer friend of Gon gales and was suggested by Obre- gon for his present post. The new provisional president is at Hermosillo, the capital of Sonora, where the present revolution was ot- ganized. He will proceed to Mexi- co City very shortly, according to the revolutionary mession officers here. He is the present governor of the state of Sonéra. General De Ia Hurta is about forty- three years of age, ad is described as as man of grept-esecutive ability, both as an official and in commercial business. He was prominent in the revolution of 1913, and since that time has been employed by Carran- 2a on special missions to settle inter- nal troubles. @Gararnza, however, early in April, endeavored to suade De la Huerta to kill off the Obregon boom fn ra and in Mex- Per-! tion will be inaugurated January 1st, at Agua Prieta about April 6, de- clared De la Huerta provisional pres- ident, and agreed upon some of the necessary members of the cabinet for an emergency government. According to the present plan of the revolution, the selection of De la Huerta will be ratified by the gov- ernors of the states of Mexico, and he will be endorsed as provisional president, ad interim. The next step will be the convocation of the con- gress, which will endorse De la Huer- ta as provisional president in order that the constitutional continuity of the succession may be preserved and prevent the injection of any objec- tions by outside powers as to the le- gality of the new regime.
