OF the blaze to the firemen's hose.
The south wall fell out at noon with
a roar heard across the lake.
Miss Ethel Murray and Miss Ethe-
Ign Hall, two Bemidji teachers, were
at breakfast when the fire started.
Mrs. Murray was still in bed. The
ladies at once went to the hotel but
were too late to get out their trunks.
Ladders were raised to the Murray
room on the second floor and the
Hall room on the third floor and
friends took out such clothing and
other articles as were in the room
and dressers. G. G. Winter had the
room next to Miss Hall but Jack
Hillabe was unable to get into the
room as the smoke was too dense.
Lost Sixteen Ducks.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Marcum got
all of their things out of their rooms
on the third floor but lost sixteen
ducks which they had put in the ice
box last night. The Marcums had
been hunting at Mud Lake and re-
turned late last evening. Will Chi

the most of their things but some

Hundreds are marooned in isolated
places. Many have been without

REBEL LEADER HAS PROMISED

Washington, April 1S.-PresidenI
Madero's reply to Acting Secretary
Huntington Wilson's admonition re
garding treatment of Americans in
Mexico was received at the state de
partment over night and probably
will be submitted to the cabinet by
Secretary Knox and considered be
fore any answer is returned. 1t can
not ,>be said Minister Calero's state
ment caused surprise, nor has It
modified the diplomatic situation.
The note is regarded as rather an
attempt to relieve the Mexican gov
ernment from financial liability for
damages inflicted upon foreigners by
the rebels, than as an evidence of re-
sentiment against the actions of the
state department in reminding the
Mexican factions of their obligations
under international law towards for
eigners resident in Mexico, or even
those serving as volunteers on one
side or the other.
In the opinion of administration Off
cials, the Mexican note has not ad-
vanced any fresh reasons for inter
vention unless this disclaimer for re-
sponsibility for the actions of the reb.
els may be regarded as warranting
foreign governments in considering
whether they might not be privileged
to take forcible measures to protect
their subjects and citizens where
they may be endangered in territory
completely in control of the rebel
forces.
Reports of the interview between
American Consul Letcher and Orozcc
at Chihuahua, however, would seem
to relieve any apprehension of inter
vention on that score, in view of the
rebel leaders declared purpose to be
bound by the principles of internation-
al law in any further operations.
Acting Secretary Wilson declined
to comment officially on the tele.
gram from the Mexican government.
1t was pointed out unofficially, how
ever, that it was entirely improbable
that the American government would
enter into an academic discussion
with Mexico as to the propriety of
sending Huntington Wilson's note to
Orozco, the rebel leader, as well as
to the American consuls throughout
the Mexican republic so that it could
get directly to the people.
