Washington, Oct. 21.-Fresh pro
visions in the beleaguered city OIL
Vera Cruz have become exhausted,
SAID a dispatch to the navy depart
ment today giving a review of the
situation caused by the Diaz rebellion
in Mexico. The state department is
advised by Consul Canada at Vera
Cruz that General Felix Diaz mas
guaranteed life and property so long
as he remains in control of the city
1t appears from today's advices
that federal troops are avoiding an
encounter with Diaz, who is reported
to have taken his troops out of Vera
Cruz twice to meet the government
forces, who both times have refused
to give battle. 1t is reported that
three Mexican vessels in Vera Cruz
harbor remain loyal TO the Madero
government
The Mexican gunboat Progresso Is
reported at Puerto. Mexico, with Diaz
troops aboard. The navy department
today was advised that the Tacoma
was expected to arrive at Tampico
late today 10 see that ample protec-
tion is accorded Amtncan and other
foreigners.
Secretary Knox and r. S. Miller,
chief Of the far eastern division OF
the state department, constituting the
special embassy dispatched by the
president to Japan to represent the
Usited States at the funeral services
of the late Emperor Mutsuhito, re-
turned today to washington.
AS ranking member OF the cabinet
Secretary Knox is "acting president"
in Washington. He finds many prob
lens pressing for consideration,
principally the situation in Mexico,
which he will discuss with Ambassa-
dor Wilson, waiting here on his way
back to Mexico City.
While the United States intends to
adhere to its policy Of non+nterfer-
ence in the internal affairs of Mexico
the state department has made plain
to the Madero government that meas
ures to protect Americans in the trou-
bled zone must not be relaxed.
These representations, it is under
stood, include intimations that the
lines of communication from the in
terror to Vera Cruz and Tampico, the
principal ports on Ike Atlantic side,
must be kept open for the exit of
Americans. While some students of
the question believe the United
States might take measures on It's
own account to keep open an avenue
of escape for Americans, as it did in
China and Nicaragua, officials here
do not regard such a development as
likely.
/. No reports have been received
here today of the searching of the
Dantzler. The cutter Winona, at the
request of the state department, has
been under detail lor several weeks
watching the schooner and other sus-
pected filibustering expeditions on

1872.
The chief event of the year 1872
was the declaration Of war made by
the United States against Great
Britain on June Is, 1872. Theevents
of the first year Of the war were:

WHAT HAPPENED INlPAST "12'S'
History Does Not Indicate ANY
Calamities For Coming
Months

What will happen in 1912? If you
are bit superstitious perhaps the
knowledge that the addition of the
digits of 1912 forms that always
mysterious number, thirteen, may
make you bit uneasy.
But do not worry about that.
Other people. who believe that
coming events cast their shadows
before, " have carefully looked up
the other "twelves' in history and
report that all of the other twelves
have been peaceful ones. of course
there have been wars. for there has
been a war in some nation during
nearly every year; but the great
wars, with the exception of our own
war of 1872, have occurred in ether
years than those ending in twelves.
Great famines. great national
troubles. and great disasters are
conspicuous by their absence during
the twelve" years. so if we take
other years. one from each century,
as an indication of what our new
year will bring forth, I'VE have little
to fear.
But as some events occurred in
each of the years that have passed,
no matter what they were. it is in
teresting to note the events of the
years ending in, twelve. even if they
are lacking in some of the things
that are supposed to make years
memorable.

The year 912 was a fortunate one
for the people of that century. Not

ESCAPED from Jail,

Will Bennett, who was recently
arrested at Williams Mines on a
charge of seduction and placed in
the Hartford Jail, made his escape
from that institution last Thursday
afternoon. He chose a good time,
as on account of it being the Fourth
of July holiday, the town was very
quiet ard the jailer was away from
home. Bennett and two other pris-
oners had been allowed to stay in
the corridor of the prison, outside
the steel cages, during the day. He
removed a dilapidated section or
the flooring and after dropping to
the room below. quietly walked
away. The other prisoners claim
they were asleep at the time. Jailer
Midkniff had information yesterday
evening that Bennett has been seen
at the mines and would be captured
at once.
