Willy REBEL GENERAL HAS VERA
CRUZ COMPLETELY IN
HIS CHARGE.
GOVERNMENT IS OPTIMISTIC
mo Siege Suffering as Rebels Con-
troll Country in Large Area Sur
rounding city-Rumored that oroz-
CO and Daz Will Unite.

Mexico City, Oct. 17.-In order to
crush the rebellion of Felix Diaz at
vera Cruz, not only have the federal
armies from the north and the south
been commanded to converge on that
c-ty, but Gen. Joaquin Beltran. who
mas been stationed at Esperanza, be-
tween the capital and Vera Cruz, on
the Mexican railway, operating
against the rebel general, Aguuar, mas
been ordered to move on Vera Cruz.
From Mexico City itself two mill
tary trains under the command of
Colonel Navareto with twenty four
pieces vi arllIlers, nave been sent to
General Beltran's support.
Among other officers ordered to
take the field are Colonel Jimin@
Castro and Ocaranza, two men who
were very prominent in the campaign
aSalnst Zapata in the state of More
los.
The public does not seem inclined
to share the optimism of the govern
ment, and it is considered not i'm
probable that some part of the army
ordered against Felix Diaz VIII Join
him instead of fighting against him
There was an indication of this kind
today when a detachment of 125 men
commanded by a captain who was
sent from Orizaba to Beltran. at once
Joined the rebels.
s, Vera Cruz Isolated.
The town of Vera Cruz is now COM
pletely isolated except by water. The
government has instructed the rail
ways to withdraw all their rolling
stock and to establish new terminals
at Orizaba, Jalapa and TERRA Blanca
Some of the men manning the gun
boats Bravo and Tampico landed yes
terday at Vera Cruz and offered their
Services to Diaz. Commodore Azueta,
however, refused to join the move
ment and had the guns of his boat
/ trained on the city.
There is little danger of the city
suffering from siege since the reb-
els control large agricultural area in
all directions. 1t is taken for granted
that General Aguilar is in accord with
Felix Daz and that the two have
entered into an agreement with num-
erous bands of rebels in the states of
Vera Cruz and Oaxaca.
1t is rumored that Pascual Orozco
and Felix Diaz have reached an un-
derstanding to unite all the rebels
against President Madero.

IN WASHINGTON TO ARRANGE
THE FINAL DETAILS.
PROMINENT MEN TO ATTEND
Statistics on Prospective Commerce
Exceed Expectations and Prediction
Made that Project Will Be Approved
by Board of Engineers.

all the cities interested over the hear
ing before the board of engineers for
rivers and harbors, in Washington on
Monday, October 21, relative to the
development of the Altamaha, Oconee
and Ocmulgee rivers.
The statistics gathered showing the
prospective commerce along tAese
rivers as well as the great increase
in development of farm lands far ex-
ceed the most sanguine expectations
and alone call for earnest cOnsidera-
tion of the project by those in author
ity.
The delegation from Brunswick in
cludes L. H. Haym, president of the
board of trade; w. H. Wood, president
Butts, C. H. Leavy, and J. G. Wealth
erly. who goes as representative OF
the River Improvement association.

tion including the president and the
secretary of the chamber of COM
merce and some dozen prominent bus
iness men. Milledgtville, Dublin and
Hawkinsyille will also have represen-
tatives at the hearing. =
While there is no chance of even a
small per cent of those present at the
hearing being heard on the subject
their presence should have weight as
showing the great interest that the
men prominent in the business life of
this section are taking in the pro-
ject.
Col. Daniel C. Kingman, chief en-
gineer for this district who approved
former plans for this work, will also
be present. E'
This development means much to
the future of Brunswick, both as a
port and a distributing center, and
the report on the project will be
awaited with much interest.

CITRUS FRUITS GROW AND
THRIVE IN THIS SECTION
H. o. BUTLER HAS A FINE TREE
IN HIS YARD LOADED DOWN
WITH GRAPEFRUIT.

That citrus fruits will grow and
thrive in this section of Georgia is
proven beyond a doubt by H. D. But
ler of 1921 Lee street, who has a
grapefruit tree in his yard that was
planted a Seeding some fifteen years
ago and which has produced over 100
grapefruit this year, and the tree
has had no fertilizer or special care.
d. M. Dart of Oil Barlow street,
has in his yard Is orange trees, one
grapefruit and one lime tree, all six
years old and all bearing fruit, and as
in the case of Mr.. Butler the trees
have had no extra attention.
These facts are of value to the COM
munity and have a bearing on the
future possibilities of this section for
not only farming and trucking, but
for the raising of citrus fruits as well,
and in the campaign of publicity that
will soon be inaugurated advertising

After Consultation of Physicians An
other Examination of Patient Was
Held and There is No Longer Any
Cause for Worry.

Chicago, Oct 17-Theodore Roose-
velts third day in Mercy Hospital
passed quietly. The dread of serious
developments was largely allayed.
His physicians, however, were care
ful to say that the patient was by no
means out of danger. 1t will require
another day of waiting for symptoms
OF sepsis before the medical men. il
there is no change for the worse, Will
be able to say "All is we'll"
Mrs. Roosevelt maintained her
watch at her husbands bedside and
established a quiet, smooth running
routine. At noon she decreed that
no visitors were to see Colonel Eoose-
velt during the day because he had
not slept during the morning.
The most reassuring bulletin was is
s%ed by the physicians concerning
Colonel Roosevelt's condition, being
given out this afternoon. It read:

normal.

Six Doctors Examination.

Six doctors making the most ex-
tended survey of Colonel Roosevelt's
condition, attempted since his arrival
at Mercy hospital found his condr-
tion this morning as near normal as
a wounded mans could be. and re-
newed their assurance that there was
no longer cause for worry.
1t was also announced positively
Colonel Roosevelt would not leave the
hospital until next week at least.
Most of last night the colonel spent
in restful sleep, and on awakening to-
day, he was feeling so much better
that he began planning for a contin-
uation of his campaign trips.
During the night the colonel passed
most of the time in sleep, and only
on rare occasions did he awaken, and
then only for a few moments ut a
time, in which to permit his night
nurse to take his clinical record,
which almost invariably showed his
condition to be excellent and near
normal.
From II o'clock he was asleep most
of the time until 4 o'clock this morn
ing, when he awoke, declaring he had
had bully sleep" but would not
read because he wished to remain
quiet and doze until it was time for
his sponge bath.
Instead of having his bath little
before o'clock, the colonel decided
he needed more sleep, so his nurse
helped him to turn over, and he again
closed his eyes
The many hours he has been able
to rest lis declared by the physicians
to be the best medicine for him, and
he was allowed to sleep as long as
he wished.
The colonels breakfast as usual,
consisted of bacon, three sort boiled
eggs, buttered toast and pot of tea.
