RICH WOMEN were
FORCED To DISROBE

New York, March 1S.-The wife
and daughter of Joseph Hull, of Sa-
vannah, Ca, one of the wealthiest
men in the south were required to
disrobe in their stateroOms in the
steamer Lusitania yesterday while the
customs inspectors. acting on the mys-
terious tip, found subsequently to
be false, made a search for diamond
necklace thought to have been pur-
chased abroad. The family baggage
was carefully scrutinized, however
the inspectors charging undervalua
tions, and seized the articles in ques
tioh. They consist of wearing appar
ell which will be held until the charges
are paid.
1--WE were made to take off even
our stockings said Mrs. Hull, whit
considers the treatment an outrage
and hadn't any idea such thin
could happen in America. Josepl
Hull and son, Daniel, were on the pie
to greet them, and all were indignant
and threaten to carry the matter t
the courts if necessary.

Mexican President Thinks He Has the

War Measures.
lIMANTOUR TO VISIT PRES. DIAz

Mexico City, March 1S.-If Minister
of Finance Limantour Is coming to the
capital with the intention OF inducing
General Diaz to listen to terms pro-
posed by the insurrectos for cessation
of hostilities it is probable that his ef-
forts will prove fruitless. The known
character of General Diaz is not such
as would permit him to listen to terms
from revolutionists. 1t was but a few
days since that he announced a plan
which was not one of conciliation but
one of war.
No longer is there disposition on
the part of the administration to deny
that a condition of war exists but it
is maintained that the progress OF the
campaign made against the rebels up
to this time has shown satisfactory
results. Il is not admitted that the
insurrection exists in all portions OF
the republic as efforts have peen made
but only in the north, chiefly confined
to the state of Chihuahua. The spas
modic outbreaks in other states are
considered as no part of a widespread
insurrectionary movement, but in
stead merely the activities of isolated
bands of robbers who have taken ad
vantage of the revolution to conduct
campaign of brigandage on their owl
account. The phase OF the situatio
for the moment is considered negli
gible by the government At the wa
department it was explained that Ma
deros campaign in the north has re
ceived a serious setback within tn
last four days.
