Oriente and Pinar Del Rio, the city
was thrown into intense excitement
early today when drums beat to quar-.

presidential palace, and the garrison
of 200 men sailed forth and threw a
Gordon around the executives home.
The soldiers stood on the defensive
apparently to repulse an attack. Soon
afterward, nothing else having hap
pened, the troops marched back to
their quarters. President Gomez later
explained that the maneuvers had
been ordered merely for the purpose
of seeing how quick the garrison
would surround the palace, in case of
emergency.

FATAL CLASHES IN STRIKE.
Street Car Men in Mexico City Stir up
Disorder and Riot,

Mexico City, July T. Frequent
clashes with fatal results marked the
strike of the street car men and the
strikers seem TO control the situation.
The few suburban cars being run are
the cause OF the trouble in most in

police and rioters near the car barns
in which two were killed another riot
occurred in which Gov Granos of the
federal district played a part.
To make a personal inspection, he
boarded an outgoing suburban train.
Soon after starting a mass of rioters
was encountered. Stones were hurled
through the car windows and on each
side of the governor some one shouted
for the crowd to set fire to the car
The governor gave orders to charge

than fifty arrests were made. Most OF
those arrested are sympathizers.
