The Mexican government has not the
slightest intention of making martyrs of
any of the rowing Americans who have
crossed the line to cast their fortunes
with the insurrectos.
According to the Mexican embassy peo-
pie here, when these men are captured by
the Mexican regular troops they will be
put in Jail and tried in the ordinary

court-martial,' but by the established
tribunals, and meantime they will be
treated as ordinary civil prisoners are
treated.

Usually NJ. Johnson is right when he
makes a point Of ORDER Mr.. Eurleson
declared, but there has been a general
misunderstanding OF what this provision

year there were several asphalt COM
panies in the National Capital which COM
oeted with one another in bidding for
these paving contracts. But last year
these several corporations combined.
The District of Columbia, at the time
the combination was made, had con-
tract calling for s1.i5 a square yard Tor
laying asphalt pavement. But the price
was Immediately advanced so that under
the next contract made by the Commits
sioners the rate was fixed at s.77 u
square yard.

assert that right here In the city OF
