Washington, Jan. 31.-United States
Ambassador Clayton has informed the
department of state that the Mexican
government has received a telegram
from General Torres to the effect that
absolutely nothing has occurred that
would give rise to the report that six
Americans have been shot by his or
ders. This statement from the am
bassador was called forth by an in
quiry from the state department based
on telegram from United States
Consul Kindrick at Juarez, that 1t was
reported 10 him that six Americans,
whose names he gave, had been shot
by General Torres order near Quay
mas because they had been found In
the vicinity of hostile Yaqui encamp-

BULLER NOT CAST DOWN.
He Will Make Another Attempt to Re
Iieve Ladysmith.


lieve Ladysmith.
London, Jan. 31.--When the nation
had almost resigned itself to the fall Of
Ladysmith there comes from all quar-.
tiers an indication that General Butler
will make another attempt to relieve
the besieged place. If the Daily Nails
report of General Buffers statement
that he hoped to be in Ladysmith with
in a week could be implicitly relied on,
news of further serious fighting would
be expected shortly.
But the papers are 10th to believe
what The st. James Gazette character.
ICES as "unwarrantable Boosting" IL
true. Moreover, the war Office, throws
cold water on the dispatch by issuing
a statement that ii has no news con-
firmatory Of such a move as General
Buffers reported speech indicates. Yet
the days dispatches from Ladysmith
and Cape Town give strong impress
sion that there is something more than
rumor I'm all these reports. SO. while
all definite opinion must await further
news, 1t does not seem at all unlikely
that another desperate effort will be
made to succor General White.
