Block ade of Harbor on Earnest Re quest from United States. ACTION IS TAKEN SATURDAY WASHINGTON, March 15. Gen eral Carranza has abandoned his b'otkade of the port of .Progreso on urgent representations by the United State. The Mexican gunboat Zaragos ha3 been called off and two American fehips laden with sisal for the United State were cleared Saturday without interference. Rear Admiral Caperton, command ing the American fleet in Mexican waters, reported the raising of the blockade in his official dispatches early today and reported that tha Zaragosa has returned to Vera Cruz. The admiral s dispatches telling of re lief of the situation crossed a new note from the 1'nlted State, which was sent on Its way to Carraniia this morning glv tns notice that the United States was determined to raise the blockade, and. If necessary, use the cruiser Des Moines to do so. Inures Twine Supply. Tt became known for the first time to day that last week the Mexican gunboat had stopped one American ship with a hot across its bows, had held up another and had Interfered with British shipping. The seriousness of the situation growing out of the QiTkade of Progreso was pointed out by Secretary Hotiaton of the Department of Agrlcul ture. who advised the president that 200. 000.0(10 pountis or twine are used each year In .the United States In binding grain, and flax crops and that nine-tenths of the supply Is made from sisal grown In Yucatan and exported through Progreso. Telegrams from, manufacturers and farmers In the grain growing stater pouring Into the White House and les.4 sisal were obtained through Progreso the harvesting of this year's grain crops would bo embarrassed. Since February 25 the State department lias steadily protested to Carranza against closing I'r.'grcRo where there have been factional - troubles - between Mexicans nominally under his control.

I beg trial you will understand thiit It our mes sages i.ci'aei umll v are couched in terms of strong eini'lias's. It Is only because they contain some matters which touch the very anfety of Mexico Itself and the whole process of its future history. "We. seek always to uct as friends of tho Mexican people and as their friends It is our duty to speak very plainly about the danger which threatens them from without, whatever happens within their borders which Is calculated to arouse the hoRtlle. sentiment of the whole world. ".othlug will stir that sentiment more promptly or more hotly or create greater danger for Mexico than any (even tem porary) disregard for lives, the safety or tho rights of the citizens of other coun tries resident within its territory or ap parent contempt for the rights and safety if those who represent religion. "Any attempt to justify or explain these thingd will not eradicate this sentiment or lessen the danger that will arise from them "To warn you concerning such matters Is an act of friendship, not of hostility, and we cannot make the meaning too tannest. To speak less plainly or with less earnestness would be to conceal from you a terrible risk which no lover of Mexico should care to run." Bresnahan Gives Ont Cub Lineup CHICAGO, arch IS.

Father NO WAY TO TREAT VICTIMS OF DRUGS (Continued from Page One.) lessened portion of dope each day, was most advisable. John W. Cochran, 27 years old. who said he had taken dope one year, and who was carried into the county jail six weeks ago, was the first man questioned. He had gained many pounds in weight im he had been shut up without any dope, and declared he had no desire for It now. He is In excellent physical condition, he said. Cochran was so sure he would be able to do without dope that several members asked the county official) to send him to the county hospital, which was done. Cochran declared he was, anxious to (to to Texas where, he said, his mother lived. The committee aftera-Aril Imvm learned from another man that those! fiends who desired to continue the habit were planning to go to Juares, Mexico, In case they were unable to get dope on account or the new federal law, which somewhat shock their faith In the pros pective success of their desire to assist Cochran. Kffort. Are 1st Tain. John Washington, an intelligent, well educated man, 37 years old. who had been using dope five years, told of vain efforts to reform himself. "I have tried many times to make a man' of myself," he said. "I have climbed down a sixty-foot pipe to escape from the Lincoln sanitarium; I have escaped from the county hospital and from other sanitariums. I could not help It, "Now that I have been without dope for forty-five days my brain Is clear and I believe that I can do without it. "The best way to treat a victim of the drug habit is to cut it off entirely and lock him up. If he Is allowed a little each day It does him no good and keeps the craving alive." Barney Kemmerling, 45 years old, a vie tlra of the drug habit for thirty years,' according to his statement, exhibited arms and legs the skin or which was a fabric of scars left by the "needle." "I'm a real dope fiend; these others are only fakes," he said, with a sad smile, for, he declared, he realised that he was not a man. Causes Sarferinar. Barney declared he did ont believe in cutting off a dope fiend's entire supply of ' drugs, insisting that It caused too much suffering. Washington's account of dope fiends and his suggestions concerning him were considered most reliable and valuable by the committee. Washington has used and sold dope In many cities of the United Rates. A peculiar coincidence was that each of the three men declared they had first felt the effects of dope through medical treatment following illness or injury by accident. All three testified that their physical condition had been greatly im proved by their stay in jail. It waa the final opinion of the com mittee that . principal assistance which could be rendered drug victims was the rigid enforcement of laws forbidding sale of dope. Step will be taken to co-operate with the federal government in an effort particularly to stop "peddling" or "boot legging" of dope by Irresponsible indi viduals, since. It was believed, drug stores probably will be deterred from selling It by fear of government prosecution. The members of the conference will watch particularly the future careers of Cochran, Washington and Kemmerling, or whom they made particular requests that they cease the dope habit and who Immediately or wKhIn the next few days will be allowed to , recuperate their strength at the county hospital.
