THE TACOMA RECALL.
The Second Election to Be Held in a
Month.

Tacoma. Wash. April ia special
recall election. the second this month,
will be held in Tacoma on Tuesday,
with the newly enfranchised women
voters taking an active part in the
contest. Mayor Fawcett. against
whom the recall election is aimed. and
W. w Seymour are the opposing can
didates. In the election of April 4
Seymour received S.665 votes. Fawcett
1852 and y II. Barth. the socialist
candidate. 3.30S.
More than half of the votes polled
were necessary for election. The re-
suit now depends largely on how those
who voted for Barth will east their
ballots. The simon-pUre socialists
will probably remain away from the
polls. but there were probably many
votes cast for Barth merely as a pro-
test against the other two candidates.
and these will probably be counted for
one side or the other on Tuesday
Excitement has been running high
since the failure of the previous recall
election and the campaign has been
short but bitter.

President Taft until nearly midnight

he retired confident that the attack
would not be made before tomorrow.

This is a brick building with a tin

quantity Of the liquid somewhere

carefully protected against ordinary
emergencies but nobody knew just
what might happen if the surround

SOME SMALL SKIRMIsHES
Civilian Messengers to the
Commander of the FEEDER
ais With Notification That
Disturbance Must be Kept
From international Line.

Aqua Prieta, April 16.-After a num-
ber Of small skirmishes between the
rebels and advancing federals today. in
which it can not be learned that any
were killed. the opposing forces tonight
are awaiting another day. One of the
most important battles of the war ap-
pears TO be imminent.
The federals, wearied from their long
march, by dusk ceased to advance. The
rebels tonight are busy fortifying Aqua
Prieta and vicinity. There is feverish
excitement in both Aqua Prieta and
Douglas. as the movements Of the
forces are of a nature to indicate that
battle will be fought in which many
lives Will be lost.
One Of the most interesting incidents
Of the day was a visit paid to the fed
eral camp by James T. Williams Of
Tucson and Charles Mexican. former
United States army man. Williams
was formerly civil service commission
er The two carried a message from
the United States army regarding the
recent ultimatum touching on the pro-
lection of American lives and proper
y in Douglas.
The message was received by Rey-
naldo Diaz. chief Of the rurales of So
nora. and other staff officers. The
Americans were treated CourteOusly.
They were assuyed that every precau-
ton would be taken against firing into
the United states during the attack
upon Aqua Prieta.
"Diaz said: If Americans were
killed in the battle of Thursday it
must have been because of a failure to
observe care If in our attack upon
Aqua Prieta any shots cross into
American territory, it will be because
we are unable to prevent it. Every
precaution Will be taken" The federal
staff then requested Mexican to out
line on sand the relative position of
Aqua Prieta to the American line.
Williams and Mexican made the trip
in an automobile, and the conference
with the federals took place three
miles south of Aqua Prieta. When the
time came for their departure bugle
calls halted the advancing columns in
order TO give the Americans time to
get out Of the danger zone.
The visit to the federals was made
with the knowledge and permission Of
the rebels here, as il was also neces-
sary 10 pass through their lines. The
automobile carried the American and
white flags.
The rebels have dug trenches be-
tween Aqua Prieta and Douglas at
right angles to the American line to
prevent flank movement on the part
OF the federals thus keeping them
from getting between the two cities
Colonel Medina. commanding the
rebels. said to the Associated Press
correspondent tonight that he planned
to confine the fighting to the south of
Aqua Prieta. but would use the city
10 protect his forces if driven back.
If we are beaten and compelled to
give up Aqua Prieta our troops are all
mounted, and will not cross into Ameri-
can territory" he said I'VE will either
rerteat east or west, taking new stands
in the mountains. We prefer TO die on
Mexican soil rather than to flee into
America" ="
Troops of United States cavalry
from Tucson and Naco have arrived.

LINE MUST NOT BE CROSSED.

Washington. April 16.-Majcr Cen
eral Leonard Wood, commanding the
army, today telegraphed orders to army
officers in Texas not to cross the Dor
der under any circumstances.
This explains the use of two civilians
in carrying a message to the Mexican
federal commander from Colonel
skunk, commanding United States
troops at Aqua Prieta. General Wood
has telegraphed instructions that
everything possible must be done to
preserve neutrality. He sent through
army officers warnings to the people
of Douglas. Ariz.. to keep away from
where firing is going on.
