SPAIN AFTER MEXICO
KILLING OF sPANIARDS CAUSE
OF FORMAL PROTEST.
by Rebel Band Because
They Refused to Contribute to the
Revolutionary Movement.

Spain, through her minister to
Mexico, Bernardo Cologan, Wednes-
day made formal protest to the for
eign office against the assassination
of six subjects, of King Alfonso in
Puebla last Monday. Mexico now
finds herself in diplomatic contro-
yersaries with three nations, as the
result of incidents growing out OF
the revolution. 1t is not believed,
however. that the differences with
Spain and Great Britain will prove
any more serious than a formal ex-
change of notes.
Minister Cologan demands the
punishment OF the slayers OF the
Spaniards in Puebla. Minister De
La Barra has expressed his deep re-
gret that such an incident should
have occurred, especially as the vic
tins were in no way implicated In
the revolution.
Six Spaniards were shot and killed
Monday at the hacienda Atenc'ngo,
in the State OF Puebla, by small
band of rebels, following their refus-
al to contribute 5000 pesos to the
insurgent cause. On account OF a
former loss of horses and money,
from this hacienda, Angel Diaz Rub
ian, a Spaniard, announced his IN
tention OF demanding an indemnity.
The band of rebels on Monday en-
tered a house where nine employees
were assembled. The rebels demand
ed money and were refused. They
then attacked the Spandiards with
machetes and drove them from the
house, crying out: Run, for we are
going to shoot vou." AS they ran,
six of the Spaniards dropped with
bullets in their bodies.
The reason assigned by the rebels
for the onslaught is that Spaniard
gave information OF their where
abouts to the authorities, who had
been hard pressing them. The news
of the shooting was received Wednes-
day morning and the Spanish min
lister Immediately called at the for
eign office.
The Government is not ready to
announce the names OF the men who
will represent the Government In the
peace conference and no staterTent
has been made as to where the IN ~
ing will be held.
1t was announced Wednesda, that
the armistice would be extended lUl
FIVE days and Minister De La Barra
expressed hope that no further ex'
tension would be necessary, since IN
his belief, an arrangement will bt
reached within that time.

against the supreme lodge knights
of Pythias.
The complaint Of Edward Nice.
Clarkson alleges that on January D,
1885, he filed with the knights OF
Pythias in Columbia an application
for insurance, and, upon the accept
ance of the application, entered upon
a contract for insurance whereby 1t
was agreed that Mr.. Clarkson should
paw a certain membership fee. The
fee is not stated in the complaint,
It being about S. per month. The
amount of insurance specified was
$1,000, to be paid to the beneficiary
upon proof of death.

mentioned" the complaint contin-
ues. "this plaintiff has faithfully per-
formed the duties placed upon him
by the said contract Of insurance
paying all monthly dues and assess
ments as stipulated up to and In
Guiding the month Of December
1910.
"That beginning with the first
day of January, 1911, the defend
ant above named increased the mon
thly dues above mentioned to pro-
hibitiye amount. That said increase
being so prohibltive and unreason-
able as to amount to a violation OF
the above mentioned contract with
the plaintiff and was instituted by
the defendant as a result OF fraud
and mismanagement on the part OF
the defendant and its agents ano
servants.
"That on the tenth day of jan
uary, 1911, this plaintiff rendered
his regular monthly dues, $3.50 IN
legal tender, to the defendant
throught its agents and servants
which legal tender was then and
there refused and declined and this
defendants contract Of Insurance
was duly declared forfeited.
THAT by this action on the par'
of defendant. the contract or In
surance as above mentioned was
broken and this defendant deprived
of his rights hereunder and that D!
resaon of the said breach OF sal'
contract. the plaintiff herein ha
been damaged in the sum of S2,2Oo
the said amount being that paid II
-, +h;s nlaintiff in monthly due
during the existence OF said con
tract above mentioned and interes
thereon"
It is further alleged that althous
Mr.. Clarkson has made demand up
on the agents of the company to re
turn the amount paid in as prem
iums that his requests have been ig
nored. Judgment in the sum 0

the crater and new fissures increases

down the northwestern side Of the
volcano, has made it's way sluggishly
about and over the foothills towards
the base, crossed the railway and in.
vaded the valley of Alcantara. To-
day, it's front, fifty feet high and a

their portable property and made for
higher places.
