With no Red Cross officials in the Texas

society here. as matter of precaution,
has been obliged to decline several ap-
plications which have been received from
FL Paso physicians not affiliated with the
Red Cross for permission to use the Red

for the wounded.
That policy is based upon the fact that
several months ago, when the Red Cross
flag was fired upon by Mexican federals,
the Mexican government reported to the
State Department that the emblem was
carried by a man not connected with the
Red Cross.
Mexico issued instructions to her mill

under all circumstances, but at the same
time informed the American government
that its unauthorized use might lead to
violations of neutrality. al the insurrectos

Did you show that to the President?'

During Mr.. Duffy's remarks he was

Shells Fall in Ell Paso.

The insurrectos were able to silence
the federal big guns in most instances
after they got into the city. and for a
time the federals had nothing more than
their rifles and hand grenades In the
middle of the afternoon the federals got
a field gun onto the roof OF the old
church, and soon turned what appeared
to be victory for the insrrectos into a
temporary repulse. driving the insurrectOs
back to the trenches near the river, fir
ing shrapnel at them as they fed. Two
Of the shrapnel shells fell into FL Paso,
one In the yard OF the FL Paso laundry
and one into the Santa Fe stOckyards.

Fights Against Prejudice.

This gave him strength and courage
to fight his battle against the forces Of
prejudice. doubt and opposition that he
encountered in his way; and he never
wavered under the strain. How we'll he
succeeded is told in the story OF how this
broad domain Of Kendall Green became
the home Of the college; of how these
beautiful buildings went up: of how free
scholarships were obtained to insure the
stability of the college.
THE work, the record. the influence Of
our alma mater all attest that it has
been we'll worth while. Almost thou
sand graduates have gone forth from
these walls. who otherwise might stu
be held down by the bonds Of inferiority
and Limitation.
Our alma mater has stood the test to
which 1t was put and thus has won TOT
itself a place in the world as producer
of human wealth, which, more than ma
| terial wealth. is the glory and bulwark
of a nation. The results which our COL
lege has achieved give to 1t q standing
that fully justifies it's permanent exist
ence.
I'VE are glad Of an opportunity this
afternoon to acknowledge publicly the
debt we owe to our honored and beloved
leader, DR.. Edward Miner Gallaudet."

that our college means more to its alum
nj than do colleges for the hearing to
their alumni? This IS the only college
that keeps open the gateway to higher
attainments for the deaf.
ION this occasion a host Of memories
comes up from the past, and all our
thoughts center on the chief figure In
the history of our alma mater-our leader
in the arena Of action. When he stood
up the 2Sth Of June, 1864, to be installed
as president of the college dedicated on
that day to the deaf he was possessed Of
no wild spirit of adventure-his soul was
steadied with a calm faith.

Rebel Cannon Bursts.

During the morning one Of the insur-

was put out Of business. 1t was the larg-
er OF the two homemade guns. The can
mons were manned by Americans. and f.
L. Charpentier was in charge Of the big
gun. He first blew out a firing pin. and
while he was after another one w. T..
Keely Of Chicago began to fire with a
fuse. An extra heavy load blew the
breech off. after several shots had
brought pieces tumbling off the walls of
the old church.
Cal Thorpe, Cal Heath. Frank Padora

members of the gun crew. When the
gun blew up the men rushed to the fight

Some succeeded. others failed to get arms

Fires Burn as Battle RACES.
All day yesterday the battle ragged, the
insurrectos swarming through the streets
and meeting the heavy fire Of the federals
with an equally vigorous volley OF their
rifles.
Late In the day fire started by the in
surrectos filled the streets with clouds
of suffocating smoke. The fire destroyed
the post office and several adjoining
buildings and was not subdued until it
had burned itself out early this morning.
The light from the fire gave the rebels
an occasional glimpse Of the church
where the federals were cooped up and
the cracking of rifles was intermittent
through the night.
Juarez looks as IL a hurricane had struck
IL. Wires are suspended from jagged
telegraph poles. and the streets are filled
with plaster. adobe debris. window glass
and splinters. Signs and awnings are
punctured and torn. Many a brick build
ing has q hole In it, and not a few of the
characteristic adobe houses of the town
are without roofs.
The insurrecto artillery proved Of little
value in yesterdays fighting and the
revolutionists wrought more destruction
while within Juarez by tossing dynamite
bombs about wherever they thought fed
erals were concealed than with their
cannons One Of these bombs Is believed
to have set the post office on fire.
