orozco Willing to Surrender.

Mexico City-El Pals, an independ-
ent daily newspaper of this city, print
ed today dispatch from chihuahua to
the effect that a report was current in
that city that Pasquai Orozco, whose
fiasco before Juarez was said to have
cost him his post as chief of the rebel
army at the hands of Madero and the
junta is anxious to make peace with
the federal authorities at Chihuahua
Under a flag of truce, and at the head
of a large band of insurgents, Orozco
was said to be proceeding to chihuahua
for parley with Governor Ahumada.
A messenger was alleged to have pre-
ceded him with an offer on the part
of himself and his men to lay down
their arms if the men would be permit
ted to go free. He alone would bear
the blame and suffer the punishment
due on account of their rebellion.
Orozco's decision was said to have
followed a meeting of the chiefs of the
revolutionary forces, wherein Blanco
was the only dissenter to the plan of
surrender. Blanco was off for Sonora
with his men, according to the paper.

MEXICO HOSTILITIES
MAY SOON end JUDGING FROM
RECENT REPORTS Being
Sent BROADCAST.
Dr., Gomez, Head of Rebel Element, Is
Now At Washington, D. C.-Declares
Peace Negotiations Must Be Pub
lished and Recognized By Federal
Government.

DIR. Nasquez Gomez, head of the
agency at Washington, D. G., for the
Mexican revolutions, says he indirectly
had received overtures for peace from
the federal government.
Dr. Gomez said his confidential
agency had been advised by it's iunta
IN Ell Paso, Texas, of the desire of
Governor Ahumada of chihuahua to
confer in Chihuahua with Francis L.
Madero, the leader of the revolution,
and also had been informed through it's
Junta in San Antonio, Texas, that three
delegates of the Diaz government wish
ed to meet DR.. Gomez on the border
and arrange for the termination of hos
tilitieS.
DR.. Gomez, who was the family physi-
elan of Diaz, and who was, in the last
election, candidate for the vice presi-
dency of Mexico, on the same ticket
with Francisco [. Madero, the candidate
for president, said the provisional gov
eminent would not undertake any ne
gotiations of peace, except under the
condition that the delegates shall be
legally and full authorized with writ
ten powers.'
He added it was further desired by
the revolutionists that the "arrange-
ment for peace negotiations be pub
lished and recognized by the federal
government otfcially.'
These steps, he explained, were nee
essary because of the reputation by
the federation government of connec-
ton with the peace conference arrang-
ed by Governor Sanchez, last Novem-
Der. DIR. Gomez asserted the revolu-
tionists would insist upon the abdca-
tion of Diaz, and that tonight he had
telegraphed to the junta at San An
tonic for information as to the source
of the oyertures for peace and the
names of the three peace representa-
tiyes sent by DiaZ

king MANUEL POOR
But HE LEFT In PORTUGAL
GREAT TREASURES In
ROYAL VAULTS.
Now Makes Demand for Same Through
the British Governmental Total
Valuation of $4,000, 000-Inventory
Taken to Satisfy King Manuel and
Queen Amalie-EIection in April.

Lisbon, PortugaI.-The minister of
public works has made an inspection
of the treasure chamber in the vaults
at the royal palace of Necessidades, in
which are deposited the crown Jewels
and personal valuables belonging to the
deposed royal family
In the inventory taken are a unique
table service of silver weighing more
than ton, King Manuel IS crown and
scepter of solid gold and studded with
precious stones, and several blocks of
virgin gold, the largest weighing A
pounds.
The gem of the collection consists of
safe full of jewels, among which is
the diadem belonging to the queen
mother Amelia and a necklace given
her by her father, the Count of Paris.
The necklace is valued at 5000, 900,
while all the contents of the treasure
chamber have an estimated value of
81 900 900.
The reason for this inventory is that
the British government informed the
Portuguese that King Manuel and
Queen Amalie desired to have posses
sion of their own jeweIry. The minis
ter of finance authorized the statement
that all the valuables which are proved
to be the private property of the de-
throned members of the royal family
will be returned to them

FOREIGN ATTACK.
Garrison to Be Established at Culebra,
Highest Point on the Canal-Coast
Artillery Will Be Stationed at Mira
fores-Heated Debate in House of
Congress Over Fertilization Problem.

Six thousand American troops will
man the Notifications to guard the
Panama canal from foreign invasion,
if the plans now being perfected by
the war department are adopted. These
troops will be four regiments of in
fantry, one squadron of cavalry, three
batteries of field artillery and 10 com
panies of coast artillery.
A permanent garrison will be estab-
lished at Culebra, the highest point on
the route of the canal. From this
point facilities will be perfected for
the rapid transportation of troops by
rail to any other point which may be
threatened by an enemy. The coast
artillery garrison will be at Mirafores.
The distribution of the troops in this
manner is calculated to be the best
method to prevent a sudden dash by d
landing party of an enemy's fleet hav-
ing as its object the destruction of the
great locks of the canal

MADE new RECORD
WHEN HOUSE PASSED SUNDRY
CIVIL BILL With ONLY
TWO DAY DEBATE.
Doing All Possible to Avoid Calling
Extra Session of Congress-By IMAM
lmous Consent It Passed the Part
Which Calls for Appropriation of
$67,O00,0O0.

In passing the sundry civil bill, car
rying about $14o,oOO,O00, Saturday
night the house of representatives made
new record. Never before in the
memory of capitol attaches has the sun
dry civil bill, the biggest of all the
supply bills, been put through the house
in two days under the general rules
without gag of any sort being re-
sorted to.
This is taken as an evidence that
the house is doing all it can to avoid
an extra session and is anxious to get
the last of the appropriation bills in
the hands of the senate in ample time
to permit of their consideration. Only
the general deficiency bill remains.
Constituting what is believed to be
another record, the house passed $67,-
100000 of the total in the sundry civil
bill by Unanimous consent.' OF this
amount the public building items, ag-
gregating more than $21 100000, were
adopted without being read by the
clerk.
The general Panama canal appro-
priations, amounting to nearly $46,
100000, were passed without discus
sion or question of any sort. The item
for the fertilization of the canal was
considered as a separate provision.
The bill carried $35O,o00 for raising
the battleship Maine, 100000 for the
continuation of the tariff board for two
years and $3,ooo,ooo for fortifying the
Panama nannl

Better Meals for Old Soldiers.

The fight inaugurated more than
year ago for the betterment of the ra-
tions served in the national soldiers ;

vision in the bill increasing the
appropriation for this purpose by $780,
600 was adopted.
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1911-03-03
Senate Will Favor.

The action of the house practically
settles the question of fertilization, for
the sentiment in the senate is said to
be more than two to one in favor of
protecting the waterway.
The real test came on an amendment
proposed by Representative Tawney,
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations. The amendment provided
no part of the money set aside for
fortifcation should be used until the
president had attempted to negotiate
treaties with all the leading maritime
nations guaranteeing the neutrality
and international protection of the
canal.
Representative Shirley of Kentucky
attacked the amendment and warned
members that it had been introduced
for the sole purpose of defeating the
appropriations.
The Tawney amendment then was
voted down by 1870 to So. A motion by
Keifer of Ohio to strike out all pro-
visions for the Notifications was lost
by vote of 1875 to 81.
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1911-03-03
Democrats Favor Fortifying Later.

Several democrats who spoke and
voted against the fertilization sand
they were in favor of fortifying the
canal after it was completed, but they
did not think that the work had pro-
crossed far enough to do so at this
time.
After the Tawney amendment and
the Keifer motion to strike out had
been defeated another motion was
made to recommit the bill, with in
structions to the committee to with
draw the fertilization of the canal On
a yea and nay vote this motion was
defeated, 1913 to 80.

Monarchists Still Conspiring.

Although the republic seems to be
secure, monarchists are still conspiring.
Among the measures undertaken by
the government is the separation of
church and state. The idea of the sep
aration has found favor among the
clergy here. The government action
in devoting nearly 100000 for pen
sion has done much to obtain clerical
good will.

ANXIETY IN LONDON
CONCERNING CROWDS.
Two Thousand Ambulances Ready,
Hundreds of Doctors Employed
and as Many ImprOvised
Hospitals.

London, June 21-While the London
populace is in festive mood in
anticipation of tomorrow's coronation
OF king and queen, city and govern
ment officials upon whom devolve the
work Of guarding the safety OF the
public, are haunted with the fear that
the day may bring forth tragedy.
1t is the tragedy Of the crowd that
is feared, rather than the act of any
irresponsible or criminal mind.
The authorities have engaged nearly
1000 ambulapces for duty curing the
procession. Hundreds of doctors and
surgeons will be held in reserve Hun
dreds of hospitals-or rather rooms
have been engaged. In fact, every
precaution has been taken that it Is
possible to take, but sill the authori-
ties realize that in such a human press,
there are always dangers that cannot
be guarded against.
The congestion in the streets has al
ready put = practical stop to all bust
ness For fully mile on each side Of
the Bank OF England, the thorough
Tares are almosta solid jam OF vehicles.

fered bonus OF $25 il he would get Il
passenger to the railway station in time.
Within the first block his taxi was
caught in the vehcuar maelstrom and
he spent fatal thirty minutes in COW
ering five blocks. He missed the train.
Similar conditions surround all the
railway statious. Everywhere one
turns, it is sea of horses, wagons,
automobiles, buses and the like. No
such confusion has been seen in Lon
don streets since the wild night in cele-
bration of the relief of Ladysmith in
The Boer war.
The coronation regalia, including the
crowns and robes and other parapher-
nalIa worth hundreds OF thousands OF
dollars, was taken from the palace
