FAMINE MAY FORCE
PEACE IN MEXICO
Inc |nsurrectos Cannot Keep Up the
War 80 Days More.
THE AMMUNITION ABOUT GONE
The Ciaz Government viii Put a
Large Force in the Field to Com
pei Rebels to Exhaust Their
Supply,

San Antonio, April 12.-Iven if the
can army they cannot remain in the
field 80 days longer according to the
representative of the Mexican gov
eminent here. With their ammunition
practically exhausted they are now
facing starvation, the food supply in
the section in which they have been
foraging have been almost entirely
consumed
In Chihuahua the Haciendos have
been so harrassed by the revolution
lists that they were unable to plant
crops. Consequently, there will be
no harvets season. Practically all
the available corn and beans in that
section have been seized by the
rebels.
1t is stated that the plan of the
Mexican government lis to put a large
army in the field, attacking the rebels
at every opportunity and thus force
them to exhaust their already small
supplies of ammunition in defending
themselves. With the present efficient
patrol on the Mexican border it is be-
lieved it is impossible for Americans
or Mexicans to smuggle munitions
of war across the border.
Fabulous prices are now being Of
fered by the rebels for either guns or
ammunition. This has resulted in
many engaging in filiubusterng but
the practice is dangerous one. The
border guards are scattered from the
Pacific ocean to the Gulf OF Mexico.
Despite the vigilance of the guards it
it stated that some arms are being
gotten across nevertheless.
Francisco Madero father of the
rebel leaders who claims he was to
receive passports from Minister Ii
mantour to enable him to enter Mex
leo and confer with his son regarding
peace, is very indignant because the
passports have not arrived and is
accusing Limantour of breach of faith.
He says if this proves to be the case
he will advise his son to continue to
fight the Mexican government to
finish.
Reports from Mexico are to the
effect that neither the Mexicans or
the rebels are active at this time.

The star boarder, who, by the way.
has lived at the house for the past
four years, took exceptions to the
presence of a monster dug, that, some
few days ago, adopted the yard as his
home, on the squatter sovereignty
plan. kThe dog was one ofthose long
legged, Lrough-coated, I jumble-jawed
creatures that spends most of the time
waggiug his tail if anyone chances to
notice him. This dogs genial dis
position made many friends for it
among the boarders in the house.
Now everyone liked the big dog but
the star boarder. Perhaps the dog was
getting too much attention from the
folks around the house, or perhaps it
was because the dog took a violent
dislike to the star lboarder, but. any,
way, the star boarder delivered his
ultimatumsFriday to the landlady.

rid of the dog at once. He's just a
stray, anyway"
The star boarder took his accustom-
ed place on the lawn with satisfied
smile, and an air that plainly said:
"Now, you ducks see who is the

read something like this

AS a last resort a compromise was
