JAIL DELIVERY AT ALBUQUER-
QUE WAS CAREFULLY
PLANNED

Albuquerque, N. NJ, March 23-
Emmet w. Hickson, accused of wife
desertion, one of the ten prisoners
who escaped from the Bernalillo
county Jail sometime after midnight
yesterday morning, surrendered him
self to the authorities at the Jail at
$3.50 o'clock last night, after being at
liberty about 20 hours. Up to late
hour this afternoon, none of the other
fugitives had been taken into custody.
Sheriff Jesus Romero and Under
Sheriff Fred Heyn, and dozen deputy
sheriffs secured the country in and
around Albuquerque yesterday and
today looking for the runaway prison
ers.
Telegraph and telephone messages
were sent to all parts of the territory
and it is barely possible that any of
the escapes can remain at liberty
much longer.
The Jail delivery was one of the
most sensational in the history of the
Bernalillo county Jail, being well
planned and executed. Two bars an
inch and a half in diameter were
sawed in two, affording an opening
Il inches wide and a foot and half
in depth. The combination on the
cell releases was successfully worked
and as the unlocking of one cell un-
locks three cells automatically, every
one of the 35 or 40 prisoners con-
fined on the lower floor of the jail
had an opportunity to escape.
From the stories told by prisoners
in the room from which the delivery
was effected, James Grimes and Den

ers, and former convicts, in the terri

FINE MARKSMANSHIP
INSPECTION OF SAN MARCOS
SHOWS ITS DESTRUCTION
WAS COMPLETE

Washington, March 23.-These are
some of the things Secretary Meyer
saw when he boarded the San Marcis
between volleys yesterday:
The dummies representing sailors
in the fighting top of the ship were
unscathed in spite of the great mum
ber of volleys fired at the ship. This
was tribute to the excellence of tn
gun pointers, as they were ordered to
oonfine their fire to the hull and
turrets.
A raging fire inside the ship caused
by the explosive shells which pene
trated her sides and made it impos'
sible for the observers to go below
the main deck to ascertain the dam.
age
A shell somewhat broken inside the
coming tower whose nine-inch steel
wall it had pierced on one side. This
was not an explosive shell.
A number of holes clear through
the hull from one side to the other,
the other greatest damage being done
on the farthest side. of the ship,
None of these holes, however, were
through the 11-inch armor plate.
Some dead animals and chickens
killed by the interior explosions
Some of the animals, however, were
unharmed. A cat walked quietly ou,
of one of the turrets whose base had
been smashed by 12-inch shell.
The further experiments to be
made with the ship will be confined
to attacks on the armor belt and tur
rets. No effort will be made to raise
the San Marcos. 1t would cost sew
eral hundred thousand dollars to
float and restore her to her original
condition. She is not considered
worth that much

ney for the Madero insurractionists.
who sailed from New Orleans late
yesterday for Guatemala City, for a
consultation with President Cabrera
on matters concerning that govern
ment
Captain Hopkins emphatically de-
MED the report that American mining
interests were financing the Mexican
revolution. "The Madero family,
alone, is furnishing the money for the
revolution" said he. Hundreds of
thousands Of dollars have been ex-
pended by Gustavo Madero and his
brother, Francisco I. Madero, already
and they stand ready to impoverish
themselves to bring about the fall of
the Diaz reign in Mexico. They were
wise enough to transfer their i'm
mense fortune to foreign corporations
before they embarked in the revoIu-
ton. There is no question of the
ultimate disruption of the Mexican
government. Diaz's army could
hardly cope with Central American
'orce. He has not sixteen thousand
men that he can depend npon. His
,oasted army is honeycombed with
edition and there is no such thing
s a volunteer force on which he can
all. The people do not like Liman-
our any more than they like Diaz,
nd it will be impossible for the min
ster of finance to bring about peace.
