preme Court decided that a husband
caused his wife exquisite mental tor

eggs where she would find them.
The decision was in the case OF DR..

While Mrs. Stewart was away from

the loan agreed to on both sides Is
that not less than one-third of the
amount China will expend abroad

will effect the carrying out of some of

INSURRECTOS MOVE

Strengthened and Trouble
Is Expected.

MEXICO CITY, MEX., Special
AS the members of the Mexican Con-
gress gathered here today for the
most important session of the national
legislature in a decade, the insurrecto
forces moved their campaign nearer
TO the capital city. AS a result the
army guarding the city was strength
ened and the outlying posts abiut the
suburbs were reinforced.
An outbreak has occurred at Mex
AGA, Puebla, where insurrectos are
threatening to destroy the great cleo
trio plant from which the city's light
ing power is derived.
Four hundred rurales have been
sent there to dispense the rebel band
and a battle is expected. 1t was re-
ported this morning that a small in
surrecto detachment had looted sew
eral buildings within three miles of
the limits of the city proper Rurales
were dispatched with orders ito take
no prisoners" Senior De La Barra,
the new minister of foreign affairs,
assumed his duties today.
First he held a long conference with
President Diaz, but refused to make a
statement az its conclusion.
Although the message of President
Diaz has been in the hands If his ad-
visers for several days, its contents
have not become known to the public.
The burning question of the day was:
What will Diaz say?"
Doubt was expressed that President
Diaz would urge reforms so sweeping
as first believed, owing to the GOODNESS
with which the progsam Of conces-
sions were met by the rebels.
The insurrecto sympathizers are be-
coming bolder. Many arrests are be-
ing made, the charge all being of a
political character. Ever since the
revolution started President Diaz has
maintained large army here in fear
Of an uprising in the capital. The
wisdom OF this course may soon be
forcibly demonstrated.
