Governor Blease has commission
ed F. L. Wilcox, Esq. of Florence. to
preside as special judge for the
Florence county court, which conven-
ed yesterday. Mr.. Wilcox had oeen
recommended by the supreme court.
He was not on the governors list or
"eligibles." The governor is quoted as
saying that he commissioned Mr.. Will
cox out of consideration for the re-
quest of Mr.. w. L. Clayton, chairman
OF the Florence county bar assocla-
ton, rather than out of consideration
for the recommendation OF the su-
preme court Governor Blease has
ordered a special term of court for
Horny county to commence on April
3 to take the place of the court that
was not held on account of the need
of a Judge. Governor Blease refused
to commission c. P. Quattlebaum as
special Judge for Horny county, al
though Chief Justice Jones on three
occasions called his attention to the
fact that there was not disengaged
circuit Judge. The special term OF
court was ordered upon the request
Of Solicitor Wells.
Knoxville, March IL: Governor
Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana Sc
verely criticised the policy Of the ad-
ministration while a visitor mere To-
night in an interview in which he brief
ly discussed the Mexican situation. Il
am constrained to criticise the policy
of the government in not taking the
American people into its confidence
and telling them what it proposes to
do and why" said the governor. i
have never been in favor OF the old
school of diplomacy that tended to
keep all things covered and resorted to
subterfuges. The statement that the
army was going to manoeuvre on the
Mexican border was unbelievable on
it's face, for 1t was known that there
was no appropriation for that purpose.
Should the matter come to a show
down and war results there would,
in my estimation, be division OF the
American people as to whether war
should have been declared. 1 think
the announcement should have been
made 1t was thought that the lives
and interests Of Americans in Mexico
might be endangered and 1t was nee
essary to take some precautions for
their protection"
Washington, March IL: officers of
the organized militia are giving an en-
thusiastic and prompt response to the
war departments invitation to partici-
pate in the military operations now In
progress or forming along the south
western frontier. Already 1909 officers
of the National Guard have accepted the
invitation. This represents responses
from only twenty-one states, or less
than half the members OF the Union.
These reports, 1t Is said, indicate that
the total number of acceptances will
be more than the army now being
modified at San Antonio can accom-
modate at one time. 1t Is possible that
all the officers who accept will be given
an opportunity to go into the field by
rotating them at different times. In
contradiction Of countless rumors that
the citizen soldiery of the United
States is to be called forth for active
service in connection with the present
Campaign" along the frontier officers
of the army today pointed out that
such action would be Impossible, be
cause there is no contingency at this
time, as prescribed by law, which
would warrant 1t. 1t was reiterated
today at the war department that
there was no intention of inviting the
enlisted men to move at this time.

Ell Paso, Texas, Marcl II: Condi-
tions bordering on panic reign at most
points throughout northern Mexico to-
night. Stirred by the belief that the
revolutionary movement has reached
critical stage, the insurrectos in the
state Of Chihuahua and Sonora are re-
ported to have redoubled activity in
tearing up railroads and telegraph
wires Numerous towns, according to
reports, are under siege by the in
surrectos and thousands Of women and
children cut off from food supplies are
helpless. What is believed to be re-

ers. The following, at first reported to
have been killed, are known to have
escaped: Lieut.. Sol Giuseppe Garibal-
di, Raul Madero, brother of Francisco
l. Madero, so-called provisional presi-
dent of the insurrectos; Capt Cutter

Harrington, a former sergeant in the
United States army, who lived at El
Paso. Robert F. Lee and Robert Evans
of San Francisco and Roy Glenn of
Milan Springs, Texas, were killed.
The names of the Americans wounded
or taken prisoners are not known. A
letter written by Madero was received
here today in which he denied he made
another attack on the town after he
was driven away. He asserts, how
ever, that he has gathered a force of
1000 men and is now within few
miles of the town. His explanation of
the defeat is that several scouts sent
out to reconnoiter before the attack
failed to report the coming of Col.
Ceuller with a federal force. The un-
expected arrival of the federals resulted
in a panic among the insurrectos. The
scouts. he said. had been shot The
