MEXICO PUTS A BAN ON PRESS,
For the First Time the Associated
 Press Is Unable to Secure News.

Laredo, TeXas.-The situation ill Mexico appears 10 be serious. For the first tune in the 15 years of op- eration, the leased wire of the As sociated Press from Laredo to Mon terey and Mexico has been comman- deered by the Mexican government on the plea of military need. and the circuit manager in Nueyo Laredo was ordered to cut off the Laredo office to prevent information being gleaned from messages moving over the wire. Coming as it does after what was of flclally reported 10 have been d per fectly tranquil Sunday throughout the greater part of the republic, broken only by a few almost insignificant disorders in the smaller places, this action on the part of tine government would appear to lend substance to the rumors of bloody riots at Zaca- tacas, Gomez, Palaeio, Torren, the authenticity of which had been in doubt. Every precaution is being taken by the American authorities to prevent violation Of neutrality laws on United States soil.

 The weapon used was a 22-calibre repeating rifle, from which 10 shots were fired, enough of them taking eff feet to produce instant death.
 It is reported that the assassin, as soon as the shots were fired, mounted Duiey's horse and made his escape
