DIAz THREATENS HIS
 ENEMIES WITH DEATH
Hurdles to Shoot on Sight Un-
 less InsurTeCtOS Give In.

| Its going to be one big burial ground in northern Mexico if the insurrectos do not accept the reforms offered and make preparations for peace," is the declaration of a Diaz agent who is In El Paso.
 Then he said. Diaz has been persuad- ed to give the insurrectos chance to accept his promised reforms and that if they do not he Is going to enlist ev- cry loyal mountaineer he can secure and begin shooting insurrectos like squirrels.
 Wherever an Insurrecto is met his grave will mark the spot if the rurales get first sight of him, Is the declara- tion. This Is to be held up to Francis co I. Madero, and he is to be given the alternative of calling in his men or of fighting to the death.
 Negotiations are still under way to have the United States waive the right of serving its warrant on Francisco l. Madero if he comes here to have a peace talk with his father and others. If the United States agrees to this then the Mexican federals will not fight so long as Mudero Is away from his command, and he is to be given ample time to come to Fl Paso and get back to his men. Men who should be in position to know declare Diaz will not resign and that he will either die fighting insur- rectos or will live to sec them accept his promises of reforms.
 They say he feels his honor at stake and that he must either restore order by his reforms or by the bayonet. Hints at assassination in reprisal if a war of extermination is started come from insurrecto sources, but they are not from higher sources.

DYNAMITE BIG VIADUCT.
Organized Labor Blamed For Attempt to Destroy Railroad Bridge at
 South Bend.

An explosion of dynamite, attributed by the railroad detectives to organized labor, partially wrecked the Grand Trunk viaduct at South Bend. Ind. The dynamiters worked practically un- der the eyes of two watchmen, but completed their work and escaped.
 Only a part of the bridge was dam aged, but the city was shaken and every building within two Blocks of 1t was damaged. The theory of attempt ed train wrecking was advanced, but has been abandoned. The dynamiters were only partly successful, as one support of the bridge was blown out. Dynamite was placed only at one end of the bridge.
 The largest damage caused by the explosion was suffered by nearby prop erty owners and by a factory a half block away.

TEST AIRSHIpS' WAR VALUE.
Fleet to Fire Upon Captive. Kites Dur Ing Battle Practice of Fort
 ress Monroe.

Firing upon aeroplanes is part of the program of the battle practice of the Atlantic fleet, which has just begun off the Virginia capes.
 It will be the first test of its kind ever attempted by any nation, and the fact that the American warships were to be the first to shoot at aerial targets has been kept secret.
 The aeroplanes are built on the box kite plan, but arc shaped as nearly as possible like the modern aeroplane They will be made fast to a float and will be allowed to soar to a height of from 800 to 1,2O0 feet.
 The battleships will open fire on the aerial enemy with small guns, and the result is expected to determine the value of aeroplanes as an adjunct to the navy. s4
 One feature will be night shooting With the aeroplanes held prisoner by the ship, but permitted to soar 800 feet in the air, marksmen on the decks ot the big fighters will attempt to pick the aerial craft to pieces with small shells

A Turtle Race,


 "One of the most curious races ever saw" writes a correspondent of the London Tatler. was on MT. Carl Ha- genbeck's lawn at Hamburg. Some seven or eight children mounted on the backs of large turtles or tortoises rae ed across the lawn. To give impetus to their queer steeds most of them armed themselves with cabbages, which they tied to the end of sticks, ever and anon dangling them as tempt ing morsels in front of the turtles. It was a strange race and occupied some time. Every now and then a turtle would grasp a piece of cabbage and then quietly eat 1t before resuming its journey"
