Grounds Well Patronized.

Nearly every public school in Washing
ton gave some sort of entertainment this
year Tor the benefit of the school play
ground fund OF the money raised in
this manner only one-third of it went
TO the school raising it, the other two
thirds being turned into the general
school playground fund. There has been
no inconS!Gerable feeling exhibited by
some OF the school chiefs because Con-
SresS has seen tit to appropriate large
amounts for the municipal grounds, Whine
the school Fairgrounds have received but
small amounts.
The school Fairgrounds have been
we'll patronized this year, say the
school officials. although many OF them
have been without shade and very hot.
That they are OF much worth to the
children was the declaration of Ernest
L. Thurston. acting superintendent of
schools; a. I. Stuart, former super
intendent of schools and present direc-
tor of intermediate instruction, and
r. c. Bruce. assistant superintendent
of colored schools.

 Upon the train between Culiacan and Mazatlan, Sunday night, Mrs Bird of Nogales was very ill with ptomaine poisoning caused by eat. ing fresh strawberries. But for the medical attention given the lady by Doctor Dingman of La Colo. rada, who, fortunately, was aboard of the train, the attack might have E0een fatal.

 Near Tamasula, about sixty miles eastward from Mazatlan a band of banditti has been making some trouble recently under leader ship of a man named Banderas. To cloak their devilment they de- clared themselves MdderiStas, adopt ed a military organization, hired two bands and perpetrated their marauding by music. Governor Redo sent over to Tamasula a force of state troops which dispersed the band.
 The battalion of troops which had been stationed at Mazatlan was sent into Chihuahua some time ago leaving the city defence less should there be an inSlrrectO movement. Feeling the danger in the situation the chamber of com- merce wired the federal govern ment asking that gunboat be sent to the city. The request was granted and the Tampico, then at Guaymas, was ordered to proceed to Mazatlan and take station there. That was early last week. About half way between Guaymas and Mazatlan-near polobampo-the vessel went ashore, and at last ac- counts, on Tuesday, was still stuck in the mud leaving Mazatlan to continue in it's unprotected situa- ton. Should a storm arise before the ship is relieved from her dan gerous position there would be serious danger of her loss.
 As an indication of the truth and accuracy of the war news from Mexico in the American yellow newspapers, tor more correctly the lack of such truth and accuracy) there may be cited an engraving of an alleged street scene in the City of Juarez, opposite El Paso, with a company of soldiers deployed con- pany front and standing at atten- tion. The engraving is recognized as from photograph taken at Mazatlan during the celebration of the centennial in September of last year. The company,.a part of the Eleventh Battalion of the Mexican army, which was at Mazatlan at that time, is standing in front of the Juarez club, and the right of the line is in front of the residence of Antonio La Pefia, at the corner of Meehado street. In the balcony overhead are seen some well known citizens of Mazatlan. The soldiers are in gala uniform, and at the time the photograph was taken were in line as a part of the cen tennial ceremony.

SEABOARD BRIDGE MATTER
WAS AMICABLY ADJUSTED
Satisfactory Arrangements
We're Agreed Upon

On basis that is thoroughly salts
factory to both the city officials and
those of the Seaboard Air Line railway,
the matter of new bridges over the
railroad company's tracks on Lee
and Barlow streets was amicably set
tied yesterday af ernoon at special
session of Council.
Chief Engineer w. L. Seddon, of the
.Seaboard, appeared in person to voice
the railroad company's willingness 70
construct a steel bridge at the Lee
street crossing and a wooden bridge
at the Barlow street crossing, traffic
at the latter place being very light
The proposal of the railroad company
was thoroughly acceptable to Council,
and this plan was approved
In placing the steel bridge over the
Lee street crossing it is planned to
raise and extend the grade of the street
so that the elevation will be favora-
BILE for the steel structure All alter
ations in the street and paving will
be made and paid for by the railroad
company. The time for the compile
ton of the work, which expires today,
according to the original demands
made upon the railroad company, was
extended thirty days in order to give
time for the completion of the work
which will begin at once.

FIGHTING over The
TERMS OF PEACE
None Can Predict What the
Outcome Will Be

Juarez, Mexico, May pa pretty
row has developed between Provisional
President Madero and Judge Carbajal
the federal peace envoy, and what the
next "A hours will bring forth no one
can predict safely.
Although Madero announced on
Thursday that President Diaz through
Carbajal had invited him to Mexico
City to act as chief adviser to Frans-
cisco De LaBarra when he becomes
president, the federal envoy now de-
MES this, giving the lie direct to the
insurrecto leader.
Nadero's determination to stay away
from Mexico City until Diaz is actu-
ally out of office announced after re-
ports of plans to assassinate him had
reached here was hailed with JOY by
the soldiers today There has been a
strong undercurrent of feeling
throughout the army that it would be
injudicious, to say the least, for the
tnsurrecto leader TO leave Juarez until
the man against whose presidency the
whole movement has been aimed was
out Of Office and beyond all possibility
of recall
General Madero called a meeting of
his cabinet today to proceed with the
Work of organizing a cabinet that will
serve the provisional government at
Mexico City. The position that Gen
eral Bernardo Reyes will take is caus-
ing considerable anxiety to the insur-
gents chieftain. Madero learned this
morning that Reyes had been halted
at Havana on his homeward trip by an
order from the Mexican government.
Madero refused to comment ON this,
but in a conversation between him and
one of his advisers the name of Reyes
was mentioned several times.
