The destruction of the bridge has
tied up the railroad, which for time
had been open as far as Candelaria.
1t also put an end to the hope of
sending a train to the city of Chihu-
ahua.
Coming upon the American mine
prospectors at Galego, about 100 miles
south of the Mexican National rail-
road, Creighton informed them that he
intended to destroy what remained of
the railroad and if they wished to
reach Ell Paso he would allow them
to proceed him on two hand cars. The
hand cars were put in action. but the
Americans. fearing a possible attack,
preferred to remain under Creighton's
protection. At one town Creighton en-
tered the station and tore out the
telegraph instruments which long had
been in disuse. because of cutting of
the wires. Here" said Creighton,
throwing the telegraph keys to the
take these along for souven-
irs."
When the party reached a point
near Jourez, Creighton told the min
ing men to proceed on foot and in
case they were mistaken by Mexican
federal troops for insurgents and were
fired upon, he would return the fire.

INSURRECI0 BAND Lead BY AN
AMERICAN LOOT TOWNS, BURNS
BRIDGE and MAY ATTACK CITY

Ell Paso, Tex, March 13.-Captain
Oscar G. Creighton, American. and
a Harvard graduate with a band of
insurrectos, many of whom are Amer
leans, tonight camped fifteen miles
south of Juares. No fear is felt that
insurrectos are planning an attack on
the city, where business continues as
usual, but the proximity of revolution
lists is looked upon as an effort to in.
duce General Navarros and his 1000
men to take the field.
Creighton's men came within ten
miles of Juarez, and the shock of an
explosion when he blew up the rail-
road bridge, was felt in the city.
Creighton reached the vicinity of
Juarez after a march from the south
of about 100 miles along the Mexican
National railroad. and after leaving
in his wake trail of burned bridges.
His arrival near the border was
spectacular, for after releasing twenty
five other Americans who had gone
into Mexico to investigate the fines,
and who had sought his protection, he
waited until dark and then he an
nounced his presence by the terrific
explosion which resulted in the devas-
tation of the bridge at Mesa, few
miles south of the city.

ton Wilson, acting secretary of state,
slipped Unexpectedly into Augusta to-
day and had an hours conference with
President Taft. He returned to Wash.
ington tonight. It was later said his
trip to the south at this time was
due to his wish to accompany Mrs.
Wilson to Aiken.
Coincident with the arrival of VIII
son, President Taft received Dispatch
es from General Leonard Wood, chief
of the staff of the army, saying the
mobilization of troops in. Texas is
practically complete.
Patrolling of the Mexican border, It
is said, undoubtedly will be accom-
piished largely throught a series Of
practice marches or mikes This
will enable the war department to car
~ out its program of useful training
to officers and men as a part of the
work of maintaining neuarolity laws.
It can be said positively that there
is at present no intention of increasing
the number Of troops now in Texas.
1t is believed sufficient force is now
on the ground for patrol work for any
immediate emergency that might arise.

the president offered an opportunity

President Taft's delight was beyond

the decision of the United States su.
preme court upholding the validity
Of the corporation tax law. Taft's in
sfstence put this law on the statute

fight over the Payne-Aldrich bill the
president insisted that such a tax
would be held to be constitutional de-
spite the fact that many senators and
others opposed it and expressed a be-
lief that it would not stand the test
before the supreme court.
1t now seems practically assured
that President Taft, while in Agusta,
will not act on either of the cases of
the two convicted bankers, Charles w.
Morse of New York, and John r.
Walsh of Chicago. The president has
not looked at the papers. To act upon
them as he usually acts upon pardon
cases, would require several days of

gram South
(6y Associated Press.)

New York, N. Y, Mar. 13. - The
Mexican ambassador here and the
Mexican minister Of finance received
assurances from Washington tonight
which convinced them that there is
sincere cooperation between the ad-
ministrations of President Taft and
that of President naz. 1t is not pro-
fessed that all tension has been slack.
ened and while American troops re-
main in force on the Mexican border
it is admitted thRt some tension will
continue, but the edge Of apprehension
was .appreciably blunted tonight by
two important pieces OF news.
The first in importance was long
telegram to Ambassador De La Barra
from the state department at Wash.
ington announcing that United States
warships assigned to patrol duty on
the Pacific and Gulf coasts Of Mexico
had been ordered to call at Mexican
ports only for coal and then to with
draw promptly.
This action is deeply reassuring to
Senior Limantour. His personal pro-
test was promptly followed by official
representations and tonight he az
pressed himself as "very much graft
fed that the request Of his govern
ment had been so promptly granted"
Ambassador De La Barra added that
the actions was highly satisfactory
to his government and that perfect
understanding exists between the two
governments regarding the matter"
The second development was the
publication here today of an author
lied interview with Jacob NJ. Dickin-
son, secretary of war, in which he
denied that this government contem.
plated Intervention or that orders had
been issued to mobilize the second
army corps the frontier. A rumor
to that effect, originating in Calves
ton, had grown during the day, but
General Leonard Wood in Washington
added his denials to those of Secre.
tary Dickinson.
Regarding the telegram from Wash
ington, Ambassador De La Barra said
that it contained assurances that
president Taft wished to reiterate
expressions Of good feeling and friend
ship on the part of the United States
government toward the Mexican gov.
eminent which he expressed to the
American ambassador at recent in
terview."

1T would puzzle the country to get

been time when good stuff was as
scarce as it is today.
1--WE could not begin to outfit the
army with remounts the way the
British had to outfit for service in
South Africa. 1t takes three horses
