WATCH TARS AT THEIR WORK Many See Gunboats for First Time and Marvel at Wonderful Sight in the Bay. By Edward H. Hamilton. Oh, a life on the wave!" be- pan the man from the country as we hobbled around on the Peterson launch. He was manifestly a man from the country one of those slow, uncer tain people who reveal themselves on the streets by their slowness and un certainty.

"Oh, a life on the ocean wave!" he chirruped again, as the launch caught the wash from a ferryboat and bob- bled still more uneasily, making a pretty girl say "Oh, my!" and hold to tier seat. I felt that the countryman really wished to finish his outworn song in the words of the parodist: a life on th oeeui ware The man who wrote It was (Ten; He never bad been to tea And new a atorm had seen. We were off to see the warships in general and the big cruiser Pittsburg in particular. There was a goodly naval showing two armored cruisers, two unarmored, a gunboat, a supply ship and six torpedoboats and de stroyers. lie tnougnt came to me that this squadron could have whipped the navies of the world at the time of our revolutionary war and all the navies that ever had been In the world up to the time we fought our North against our South.

ItOMAXCti IX WAHDOG. To be sure, we of San Francisco have been accustomed to warships ever since "they poured the water in the bay." But even now there Is ro mance In boarding one of the war dogs for the blase people of the city, and the brother and sister from the country And In the ships straining at their cables topics for winter nights and the discussion of crossroads days. So It was mostly a crowd of out of -town visitors that boarded ihe bob bllng launches and streamed up the ships' ladders wide-eyed and expect ant. Some of these people saw warboat at close view for the first time. Some never will see on again So the personality of the visitors was the chief note in a scene that lacked somewhat In decoration and was not remarkable for music.

The wind was off shore, so there IP-. i "-Hi was not a chance to kick up a sea that would cause the most squeamish to wish they could get out and walk; but for people accustomed to farm wagons or automobiles, or even bucking bronchos, those launches seemed "uncertain, coy and hard to please." Quite the other way around were the armored cruisers South Dakota and Pittsburg, on which most of the visitors were entertained. "My, I never stepped on anything that felt so solid!" exclaimed a pretty maiden at my elbow. "It seems Just as if the Iron extended right down to the center of the earth," replied her companion. Things were thrown wide open, and (people wandered wide and free.

The men of the warships probably regard i this sight-seeing this showing off i as a good deal of a boro. But they late Invariably courteous and patient, answering questions that must seem to them assinine without a show of annoyance. For Instance, I heard one spectacled woman ask In all Innocence: "In walit end of the gun do you rut the bulletr Ambassador Page's Daughter One of Bridesmaids at Society Wedding.

i American Ship With Mrs. Lind on Board Is Held in Harbor at Vera Cruz Under Guns of Warship; Captain Is Arrested Soldiers Surround Consulate With Orders to Arrest General, Who Is Accused of Fathering Plot to Overthrow Dictator Foreign Diplomats Warned by Huerta Only Way U. S. Can Interfere in Election Result Is by the Force of Arms EX ICO CITY, October 23. Gen eral Huerta assembled the Ambassadors of the great powers at the palace late to-day and read to i hem a remarkable statement, In which he declared that Mexico will brook no Interference from the United states In the coming; election and In the management of Internal affairs, I'uorm'f declaration was significant lit lev of President Wilson notification that no candidate chosen at the election in Mexico next Tuesday would be recognized by the United States.

Huerta. In his addrexs to the Am-bassadors of the powers, declared that the man elected would be Installed and he warned the United Stales: "The officials at Washington have no ight to commit 90.000,000 of Americans to a cours which will be as unjust as It will he disastrous to their country." STATEMENT AIMED AT V. S. In Ms remarkable statement, which was clearly aimed at the United States, Huerta gave his most solemn assurance that the sola use he will make of his power as provisional president will be to establish first, peace In the republic, and, second, to comply with the law of his country In holding fair elections, so that th choice of the Mexican people, whoever It shall be, shall be Installed In power. He stated that his use of the power heretofore had been with those ends In view.

General Huerta said that his government was determined to protect at all costs the lives and Interests of foreigners In Mexico, but that the government equally was determined that the domestic affairs of Mexico should be settled by the Mexicans themselves. He referred to the President of the United States In terms of greatest re epect and expressed unbounded ad miration for the people and Institu tions of the United States. He pointed out with great emphasis that the difference between the people of Mexico and the people of the United States was a difference so inherent and fundamental In the character of the two races as to make It entirely Impossible to apply to the people of Mexico American methods In the obtaining of a democratic government for his tnuntry. PF.OPI.K MAY l.l;n I.ESsOX. President Huerta expressed his be lief that when peace had been re stored In Mexico and after a lapse of some little time the people of Mexico, having paid dearly for the experience of the last three years, would probably be more able than ever before to express their preference by the ballot and abide by the result of that ballot.

He believed in the future of his people and that the time was not far distant when millions of Mexl cans would vote upon the great questions affecting the government of their country. It must be understood clearly, he said, that from the standpoint of representative government, where the masses have a right to and do, express their opinion at the polls, Mexico never has had a government by the people. In the sense In which tlicro is a democracy in Great Britain. Germany, France nnd the United States, there is not, and never has been, a democracy in Mexico. "The best government Mexico has ever had," continued General Huerta, "has been a government by the few, nd it will 1 a long time before Diaz Seeks U.

Lawrence Toole. LALK1AU tne gm of fell beyond the power of any single pair oi eyes iu chhjih.w all the diversity of the Tortola's second crowded day.

Yesterday, by way of relaxation and respite, the festival disintegrated and scatttered fragments of itself all up and down and across the face of this pulsating peninsula. A chunk of it shot skyward and remained there hovering twixt heaven and earth long enough to furnish craning crowds with all the and of racing aircraft. Another section hurdled the stone cliffs of the city and landed out in the wide green spaces of where far-traveled high priests of tlie mysteries of golf quickened the pulse of a crowd with their skill, GREAT SPLASH IN BAY. Another section dropped overboard from the Embarcadero and made a great splash in the bay. There, what with motor boats scut-tcring about like skipjacks on a pond and a clutter of warships clamoring for crowds, was a water fete that lasted all day long.

Still another section of the festival dropped into the green heart of Golden Gate Park and furnished the spectacle of skilled and hard-musclcd youths of two nations perspiring for points between two sets of Roal posts. Thus it was through the day with half a million people swithering be tween the choices of amusement and thrills. MARKET STREET MAIN PATH. But with all that went on on the edges of the city, The Lane of Light and Laughter, which one called Market street last week, remained the main trodden path. In the morning it led thousands to cast an admiring eye upon serried ranks of policemen drawn up in parade.

And a powerfully fine spectacle they made, these same policemen, moving Mayor Rolph to the rcstacy of "the finest police force in world," and evoking from the crowd a loud ripple of applause. And in the afternoon the Lane of Light and Laughter led back again to Union which, whatever happens, remains the spft where the pulse of the festival throbs highest And there in the afternoon amazing daylight fireworks regaled the horde that, feeding upon new delights, has grown voracious. Daylight fireworks written down in pallid ink ufl not stab the emotions deeply. Hut seen as they were seen yesterday against the background of a pearl gray sky, they furnished a real and moving thrill. Having arrived at the fireworks, one arrives at the weather.
