Considerable Alarm.

Washington. March 31.-Dispatches 31 to the department of state tonight from the American embassy in Mexico City re- ported the insurrecto movement in Puebla and Vera Cruz as gaining and said there was considerable alarm in Mexico City. Trains were being held up by Zapata forces and other insurrecttos. and in one instance an engineer was killed.
 The acfit.y of Zapata forces in Puebia and Vera Cruz leads some observers of the situation to believe that rebel move ment is being directed to the taking of the city of Vera Cruz with the object of providing a rebel controlled port through which the insurrectos may re- ceive their arms and ammunition. The recent action of this government in pro- hibiting exportations of arms to Mexico made Juarez useless to the insurrectos for that purpose.
 The embassy also reported that the censorship on outgoing news which has been rigorous for the last few days probably would be somewhat relaxed.

ELECTION RETURNS

The Herald will bulletin re-
 turns from today's state, district
 and county primaries at The Age
 Herald building tonight. As fast as
 the figures are received they will
 be flashed on the big canvas by
 the patent process used only by
 this newspaper. On account of the length of the
 ticket in Jefferson county, the count will probably be slow. but the returns from the state at large should begin to arrive as soon as it , is dark enough to use the stereop- ] ticon.
 Interest in today's results Is more intense than ever before in an off } election year.

Miners Will Stop Work Pending Settlement of
 Wage Troubles
MEN WILL BE LEFT TO
 PRCxo CT THE MINES
The 2 .ninous Men Are Only Out
 Q, Enough for the Cleveland 0 Wage Agreement to be Ratified

Indiana polls, March s1.--No anthracite or bituminous coal will be taken from the mines of the country tomorrow by union miners as a result of the suspension which went into effect at midnight due to wage troubles. More than 100000 miners, about 159o0o in the anthracite field and 25oooO in the bituminous, will take a vacation which. probably will last only few weeks. Different from strike, the miners will leave pump men and others at work to protect the mines from flooding or other trouble due to shut down of the plants.
 Agreement to Be Ratified
 The bituminous miners will be out only long enough for the wage agreement reached in Cleveland to be ratified by the miners by a. referendum vote, as it Is be- lieved the agreement will be sanctioned by large majority of the men. The sus- pension in the anthracite mines will be of longer duration as no agreement has yet been reached between the miners and operators. After negotiations were broken off in New York on March 13 between the anthracite miners and operators nothing was done toward getting together again until yesterday, when both sides agreed to meet in Philadelphia on April Q and re- open negotiations.
 Ballots for the referendum vote by the btuminous miners, it is said. will be sent out from the national miaers' headquar- ters in this city as soon as the national president, John P. White, and other off, cials return here from Cleveland. It will 4har, t. fa1r ,A vote, as not all of the locals meet every week. Then it will require some time to csnvaSs the vote, so the bituminous min CTS are not expected to resume work much under a month
 Now that the bituminous miners and operators have agreed on wage con tract for the next two years, it is believed the anthracite controversy will soon be ssttled when the miners and operators get together fin Philadelphia. The demands made by both branches of the coal min CTS were somewhat similar and 1t Is thought the anthracite forces will com promise on practically the same terms as have been agreed to in the bitumnous in- dustry.
 Not All Mines Affected
 The suspension does not affect all of the mines in the south, as the union is not so strong south of the Ohio river as it is in the northern states. The mines of Wyoming, Washington, Colorado and Montana also will not be affected because the union con- tracts in those districts do not expire April 1.
 It is said the miners will lose s1,- 100000 every day they remain out and that the suspension will cause a loss in coal production to the country of near ly 42,000 900 tons a month.
 No formal order was issued by Pres ident White for the miners to leave work as the suspension was automatic since the miners have no agreement to work after midnight tonight, when the contract made two years ago .x- pires. No trouble is expected at any of the mines involved.

throughout the mine regions is that 10 sper cent increase will be offered. Meny of the workers are said to favor the ac- ceptance of such terms, but others want greater concessions. especially the rec ognition of the union.

Outlaws Will Face New Foe

Greensboro, N C., March 31.-Sidna Allen and Wesley Edwards will face a new foe tomorrow and If the hopes of Keeper Lane are fulfilled two hounds which he carried this evening to Mount Airy will more than offset the cunning of the outlaws. together with their intimate Knowledge of the noun tains. The heavy growth of laurel he says, will aid rather than deter his edogs. once they get on the trail The hounds are from the Virginia state farm and were ordered out by Cover nor Mann. They are the same dogs which were used so effectively in dis proving tho story of Henry Clay Beat tie that he was attacked on the Mid lothian turnpike by d lone highway man.
 Keeper Lane left here this even ing with the hounds and will arrive in Mount Airy late tonight. He will carry the dogs across the mountains, expecting to join the posse in the vi- cinity where Allen Is believed to be by noon tomorrow. He believes his dogs will make it impossible for the outlaws to find refuge in the dense undergrowth and that, once on the trail, the dogs will not stop until they have run down their quarry.

Mexico City, March 31.-"Whatever hap pens I shall be found at my post. l shall not resign. Reports that have been pub dency are untrue.'
 President Madero made the above state ment to an Associated Press representa- tive tonight in conversation wherein ne branded as false other stories of a sen- sational character which recently have originated in the capital.
 Concerning the censorship exercised over outgoing and incoming news dispatches, the President asserted that it was not the intention of the authorities to sup press the truth concerning the situation throughout the country, but to prevent the publication of exaggerated and un- truthful reports which were calculated to infame the public or lend strength to the revolutionary cause.
 we are not doubtful of the ultimate success of our operations in the north," he said. We know approximately the number and resources of the revolution ary forces and we are confident that we have sufficient strength of arms and re- SoufctS lO ONerCOfie llitAi.
 Without the sympathy in their cause, created by the hostile press of the coun- try. he added, the end of the revolution would be much nearer.
 Capital in Doubt
 Nearly a week of close censorship left the national capital tonight in doubt as to the real occurrences in the contest between federals and revolutionarles in the region between Torreon and Jiminez. The newspapers have been eliminated as purveyors of news. Correspondents on the side of the federal operations have not been able to communicates reports or the fighting except incompletely and with much delay in the mai,

 ''Thus when it becomes necessary in effecting a military operation to abolish a publication, the government must do that, notwithstanding there is an article in the constitution which guarantees the rights of property and which normally permits 1t to be taken possession of or destroyed only on certain conditions and on payment of indemnity"
 The statement alleges that the Heraldo published on the previous day story of military operations palpably false and exaggerated.

 The desperado was encountered by La Fayette Ayers, a mountain resident, who was coming down a trail when he met Allen going up. Allen covered Ayers with a shotgun and declared he would shoot him. When Ayers begged for his life and denied any participation in the hunt Allen lowered his gun and pursued his way into the mountains.
 The hold-up occurred near the BuZzard g Rock section, where, under sheltered oak, Allen is supposed to have slept last night. Ayers has been furnishing in- formation to the detectives who are searching for the outlaws.

To Use Bloodhounds

Detective Tom Felts has arranged Tor 8 pack of bloodhounds from the state prison farm. He believes he would have taken the two men yesterday had the dogs been with him. Yesterday Allen and Edwards found the posse so close that they fled their refuge without their blan- kets or food. Down on the south side of the mountain near "Buzzards Roost' theer is a cave from which the outlaws fled yesterday, leaving tracks that told of long leaps of hurried flight. The ground was moist and the posse con fused their trail with that of two other outlaws, presumably moonshiner and an escaped murderer from North Car olina, who are known to be in the mourn tains.
 Wiburn Easter whose home was rail- ed yesterday, was not arrested, as was reported from Mount Airy, but was close ly questioned. It was thought Easter had been furnishing food to the outlaws
