Meanwhile the two boys had fed from
the house, and one of them, walking
four miles into Watsonville, summoned
Constable G. r. Cano. The constable
procured an automobile and returned
with the lad. He took both Hazel Clapp
and Ball into custody and drove with
them to Salinas. Miss Clapp was given
in charge of the matron at the county
Jail, while Ball was locked up to await
the verdict of the coroner's jury. The
inquest will be held at Pajaro Thurs
day.
Hazel Clapp had been living in San
Francisco and came to Vega station
only two weeks ago to visit her
mother.
Ball, who has long had an unsavory
reputation, married Mrs. CIapp four
years ago. The dead woman is mem

DOCUMENTS URGING
REVOLT Are Held
U. S. Secret Service Men Have
Manifestos Signed by Mex
ican General

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. 21.-Copies
of three manifestos calling on the
Mexican army and Mexican people to
revolt against the Madero government,
and signed in print with the name of
General Bernardo Reyes, today are in
the hands of the local secret service
men and will be laid by them before
the United States district attorney here.
Reyes is under arrest. accused of vio-
lating neutrality laws.
All three pronunciamentos are dated
at Coleda. in Tamaulpas. which has
been considered the state that would
first rise In insurrection. They call on
soldiers and officers to quit their alle-
glance to the present government,
which is characterized as iniquitous,
unjust and usurped. Promises of re-
form in the army and greater pay are
offered to all those who enlist In the
new cause.
The manifestos charge fraud in
Maredo's election. The election of Jose
Pine Suarez is called an imposition

trying to learn where the manifestos
were printed.
The trial of General Bernardo Reyes
will not be called until the April term
of the federal court at Laredo.

u. S. BATTLESHIPS
TO SANTO DOMINGO
Cruisers Ordered to Republic as
Result of Assassination
of President

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The cabinet
today decided that the situation in San
to Domingo was such, as the result Of
the assassination of President Caceres,
as to make it expedient for the United
States to have naval force there suf-
iicient to meet any demands for the
protection of American lives and prop
erty and to insure the maintenance of
order.
No American warship was within
hundreds of miles of Santo Domingo,
but as soon as the decision of the cab
met was communicated to Admiral
Wainwright, chief of operations, he
sent orders by wireless to the COM
mander in chief Of the Atlantic fleet
directing him to dispatch the two big
armored cruisers Washington and
North Carolina to Hampton Roads. No
one at the navy department knew the
exact location of the Atlantic fleet,
which was conducting a search prob
lem somewhere off the Maryland and
Virginia coasts.
But precisely II minutes from the
moment he had sent his order Admiral
Wainwright had before him an answer
from the fleet commander, stating that
the two big ships were on their way to
tho roads, where they arrived within a
few hours.
Russell. the American minister to
Santo Domingo, who yesterday was or
dered to proceed to Guantanamo and
there embark upon the gunboat Wheel
ing for Santo Domingo. was directed
by the state department to take pas
sage on the cruiser Washington. He
left Washington tonight for the roads
and will saih foraolrow on the WASH

New Instrument
Shows Direction
Of Wireless Wave

WASHINGTON, Nov 21.-
Free entry into this country for
experimental purposes is being
sought by the navy department
for an instrument designed to
indicate the direction from
which wireless telegraph mes
sages are coming.
Although the navy would be
willing to pay for a set of these
instruments, it has baked at the
heavy duty, and is looking to
the treasury department for
relief.
In time of war, naval officers
say, this instrument would be
invaluable. Although messages
being sent by an enemy would
be in code, it is said that it
would be possible TO ascertain
whether the waves going
through the air were from the
enemy's vessels, and, with the
indicator pointing the direction,
it would be comparatively easy
to locate a hostile fleet.
