REMARKABLE
EXPERIENCE
OF BABY GIRL
TMo-xEAR.oLp CHILD FALLS
OVERHEARD AND PASSING YIN
DER TWO BOATS, A DISTANCE
OF MORE THAN 100 FEET BUT
is RESCUED WITHOUT sslNe
INJURED.

Capt.sG. Harcus. of this city, who is
in charge of the work of building the
United States dredge boat at Pine Bar
rem, arrived in the city yesterday af-
ternoon to spend Sunday with his
family here and tells of a remarkable
incident which occurred yesterday
morning about s o'clock on the Els
Gambia river. where the dredge boat is
being constructed. and which came
near resulting in the death by drown
ing of the little daughter of Capt. w.
F. Zeberneck, of the United States
snag boat Escambia.
AS 1t was, the little girl, who is be-
tween two and three years old, was
under water for at least two minutes.
according to the statement of Capt.
Harcus, passing under two boats a
distance of more than 100 feet.
At the time of the accident, the snag
boat was lying just below the quar-
termaster,s boat of Capt. Harcus, there
being about; two feet between the two,
and only the little girl and the twelve
year old daughter Of Capt. Harcus
were on either of the boats, the crew
and the balance Of the party being on
the banks or on the works. 1t seems
that the child saw her brother on the
bank of the river and attempted to go
to him, and before she could be inter
cepted by the daughter of Capt. Har-
Gus she had fallen overheard from the
bow Of one of the boats.
As the child fell she gave scream,
which attented the attention of those
on the bank and several of them
rushed to the rescue, first running
aboard the boat and across the snag
boat, jumping from it into the riv~r
in time to see the child come TO tie
surface below the snag boat. where she
was finally rescued by her brother,
Arthur Zeperneck, and Alex Ceruti
She had passed all the way beneath
the two boats, each OF which is so feet
long, with about two feet space be-
tween the two.
Capt. Harcus states that the child
did not seem to be frightened at alI
and was not badly strangled when she
was picked up the only thing that
worried her being that she thought her
brother had gotten drowned when he
Jumped in after her.
The captain states that this was one

WILL KEEP THE REBELS
AWAY FROM THE RORDEF
BY Assoclated Press.

Washington, April 15.-The White
House announced today that assur-
ances had been received from the
leader of the insurrectos at Aqua
Prieta by the department of justice,
that the incidents of Thursday which
resulted in the killing of several Amer
leans and the wounding of others.
would not be repeated.
According to the announcement. At

charge" of the American forces at
Douglas, presents an intricate prob
lem to the government. The question
of whether these men should be in
termed and held as prisoners is gen.
orally discussed by officials here. The
general impression seems to be that
there is no statute under which the
United States can hold the soldiers
especially in view of the fact that this
country does not recognize the exist
ence of a state of war in Mexico
The question probably win remain In
its present status until the Mexicans
ask for their release. Meanwhile the
American commanding officer at Doug
las has received from the war depart
ment authority to provide rations and
everything necessary for the comfort
of the Mexicans -in his charge"
The situation at Douglas from an
American standpoint is extremely DELI
cate, according to reports received by
the war department today. which de-
clare that the people of that town are
strongly pro-insurgent
A strong patrol of American soldiers
has been thrown along the border to
preserve neutrality but notwithstand-
ing this, it is asserted that some Of the
people of Douglas have assisted the
revolutionists with guns and ammuni-
ton at places where they have been
able to evade the patrol.
During the fight at Aqua Prieta on
Thursday the American troops and
customs officials confiscated thirteen
rifles in transport across the line. Men
also were trying to cross the boundary.
