MEXICAN REBELS
EXECUTE EIGHT
The Soldiers Were Believed to Be
Spies and We're Killed Inside !
Walls Of the Quatrel.

Juarez, Mexico, Aug. 7.-Some time
during last night the Federal troops
which attacked the rebel position at
villa Ahumada Tuesday afternoon re-
tired toward the city Of Chihuahua with
out making further attempt to dislodge
the rebels. The Federal losses beyond
twenty-five wounded prisoners Is un-
known. Troops under Gems ~Orozco and
salazar are being concentrat0d along the
Mexican Central Railroad, and Orozco
says he will make an attempt to re-
capture the former rebel captain.
Troop trains, with steam up for instant
service, are ready In the railroad yards
here tonight to convey Salazar's men to
villa Ahumada. Salazar's troops are now
pouring into this city from along the
Mexican northwestern line from points
between here and Casas Grandes. Orozco
already has nearly 2.00o troops at villa
Ahumada.
Although rebels leaders here deny the
stories. deserters who have succeeded in
crossing to El Paso say wholesale exc
cutions are taking place here.
It Is known that eight artilierymen
were shot to death yesterday, together
with two others captured as Madero
spies. The artillerymen were accused of
attempting to desert to the American
side. These executions took place behind
the walls of the Quartet. and no Official
report Is ever made of such transactions.
That there have been more than a score
OF such executions, the rebel leaders.
including Col. PascCai Orozco, ST.. father
of the rebel leader. admit, but they as
sert ali were spies in the employ OF the
Federal government.

CONGRESS TO PROBE
TOBACCO BUYING
Senate Passes Bill Creating Com.
mission to Inquire Into
Conditions.

For many months the tobacco growers
OF Virginia, Tennessee, and Western
Kentucky have been suffering from what
appears TO be a conspiracy on the part
of the buyers of tobacco for foreign gov
ernments to depress the price and pre-
vent growers from obtaining a fair val
uation for their product.
A fixed price is offered by these agents.
and this price Is uniform in all tobacco
growing States for the same grade OF
product. There Is no competition in bid
ding and the growers are compelled
to accept whatever is offered. France,
particularly, which government main-
tains a monopoly in tobacco, Is a large
buyer of certain grades.
So general has the complaint Of grow
ers become that at the instance of Sem
ator Martin of Virginia, the Senate yes
terday passed a bill creating a commits
sion consisting of three Senators and
three Representatives to investigate the
conditions under which foreign govern
ments purchase American-grown tobacco.
The purpose of the creation Of this
commission is declared to be to discover
whether there is an understanding or
arrangement OF any sort among these
governments to keep down the price Of
tobacco and compel growers to accept the
bids offered.

REVOLUTION CAUSES
WANTIN NICARAGUA
Red Cross Society Authorizes Spend
ing Of 81, 1000 to Relieve the
Suffering There.

Conditions among the poverty-stricken
and revolution-ridden people Of Mica
ragua have become so acute that yester-
day the American National Red Cross
authorized the expenditure of 1900 Of
its funds for the purchase of food sup
plies for destitute Nicaraguans. This IL
practically the first time that the Red
Cross has found 1t necessary or desira-
BILE to relieve distress in Central America
not arising from the conflicts of revolu-
ton or disaster, such as earthquakes.
1t vas announced at the State De-
partment that as a result of continued
crop failures and drought, greatly aug
mented by the financial exhaustion
which the regime of President Zelaya
bequeathed to Nicaragua, the situation
has become most serious in that coun-
try, amounting in some districts prac-
tically to a famine. 1t is expected that
the present revolutionary disturbance. TO-
mented by Gen. Mena, the former min
lister of war. will accentuate this con-
dition. The Red Cross has cabled s.. 600
to Panama to be expended in the pur-
chase there of rice, beans, corn, flour,
potatoes, and other necessities to be
taken to Nicaragua.
These supplies will be purchased from
the commissary department of the 18TH
mian Canal Commission at the lowest
prices and sent to Corinto, Nicaragua, on
the collier Justin, which is going to carry
$50 marines to that port from the Canal
Zone. . The distribution Of the supplies
will be under the supervision OF United
States Minister Weitzel, aided by other
Americans in that country. It is feared
that further contributions Of money and
food supplies will be necessary II the
present desperate situation is to be alle-
waited.

HOW CAN POLICE
PAY THE REWARD?
Alleged Gaming Tables Raiding
Three Hours After Maj. Syl-
vester Makes Offer.

Three hours after Mai Richard Syl-
vester on Tuesday night telephoned the
morning newspapers announcing his offer
of a reward of 500 for information con-
cerning a gaming table and 500 for the
name of a policeman with guilty knowl-
edge Of such a place. Sergeants Lehman
and Cotton. Detective Howes, and Po-
liceman Glenn raided an alleged gambling
parlor at s33 G Street Northwest. where
Frank Rogers maintained bachelor quar-
tiers. Ten men were corralled by the
police.
Will Maj. Sylvester pay 500 reward for
the information of these alleged gambling
rooms? The police say they were in
formed anonymously, and 1t is claimed
that Maj. Sylvester received an unsigned
letter, in which he was told of the al
legged gambling parlor. Therefore, the
police cannot pay the reward.
No less an authority than Richard c. L.
Moncure, the well-known lawyer Of Alex
andria County. Va, is authority for the
statement that twenty-five or more boat
houses anchored in the Potomac River
between the Highway and Chain bridges
and within the jurisdiction of the District
are the scenes of gambling gatherings
every day and night Further. Attorney
Moncure states this condition has existed
for months to the knowledge of hundreds
of persons while the police claim to be
ignorant Of the facts.
