hin Of Mexican Lead Flying Over
Into Our States viii Make
Congress Take Some
Action.

WASHINGTON, April 1S-The Mexi
un rebellion seems to have reached
crisis where congress will have to
back up President Taft if the warning
which has been ignored by the com
batants is to be enforced. The presi
dent has not said SO, but he and his
adyisers have virtually exhausted their
resources at least their powers in
handling the situation. 1t has been
made plain that the president will not
order soldier across the border un.
less directed to do SO by congress
The provocation for ordering the
troops across in order TO protect
American lives and property seems
sufficient. The senate, however, has
adjourned until THURSDAY.
The way was opened in the senate
for the expression of an opinion by
congress wher Senator Stone of Mis-
souri, introduced a resolution propos-
| ing that the senate committee on For
eign relations investigate the situation
and report to the senate, what in its
opinion, is the duty of the United
States in the premises. Senator
stones resolution is entirely friendly
10 the Taft administration. The sena-
tor Is himself a member of the foreign
relations committee and is prepared
TO support the presidents action In
ordering 10000 troops to the Mexican
border.
The most acute situation which has
yet arisen resulted from che battle at
Aqua Prieta between Mexican troops.
Official reports say seven American
we're wounded in Douglas, Ariz., while
there was a hail OF Mexican bullets in
the town, striking schooihouses and
residences and causing people to flee
from their homes for safe.y.
The United States government now
ind itself in this position:
It has served notice upon Mexico
that the occurrences of April 13 at
Douglas, in which two Americans lost
their lives and eleven were wounded,
must not be repeated. The Mexican
government has not vet replied to
nose forceful Representations, and in
the meantime American lives on Amer
lean soil have again been jeopardized
oy the firing of Mexican rifles.

Aqua Pretia Evacuated.

DOUGLAS, Ariz, April 1S.-- Dis
heartened over the losses and the de-
sertion of their leader, Garcia, the
insurgents evacuated Aqua Pretia
early today and the town is nov oc-
cupied by the federals. The Ameri-
cans in the ranks came to Douglas dur
ing the night and say they were sold
out. Red Lopez also came in There
were many desertions among the
rebels only one colonel remaining and

By this act, the insurgents have lost
all they have gained.

force prepared to resume the battle
it found nothing but empty trenches
to attack The entire force moved in
to town without firing single shot.
The rebels We're badly demoralized
and were out of ammunition.
Shortly after midnight Garcia
threw down his arms, crossed the
border and gave himself up to the
American troops. This was the signal
for a stampede to America by the
rebels
Red Lopez also came into Douglas
but did not surrender. At 3 a m. all
of the Americans who had been fight
ing, came across the border and said
they had been sold out and that the
rebels were demora1ized
Fighting discontinued at 10 o'clock
last night when the ammunition gave
out The federals lost about 200 while
the insurgents loss was but twenty
killed.
1t is reported this afternoon thst
the rebel commander notified Col.

conference with him on the border.
The conference was held and the in
surgent leaders said that they were
out of ammunition and must submit TO
either surrender to the federals or
give themselves up to the American
soldiers.
Skunk refused the request to inter
cede.
Skunk offered to accept the sur
render of the rebels only on condition
that they lay down their arms The
rebels refused Twelve hundred fed
erals are now in Aqua Pretia. They
say that they found over a score of
dead bodies in the street.

Independence resident who has a

In the attic at his home way last
spring or winter, and also had half
bushel of hickory nuts in a wash
boiler nearby, the boiler having the
cover on and the walnuts being
spread out on the floor A few days
ago he went to the attic to get some
walnuts, but couldn't find a nut, not
one. Inquiry of his better half de-
veioped the fact that she had not
taken any of them and they were at
loss to account for the strange dis
appearance of the nuts A few days
later he went to the attic and dis
covered squirrel busily engaged in
an effort to get into the boiler where
the hickory nuts were stored. Furth-
er investigation showed that the
equirrels had eaten holes in the roof
| and In that manner gained entrance

some walnuts. They had also play

corn which, attached to a string,
hung across the room. Naturally this

they did formerly. independence
