Arrester as a Spy.

IL was arrested by Mexican author
titles as a spy, but after a time was re-
leased. Another young American was
also taken in with me. They used
every cruel means possible to compel
him to confess that he was a spy, but
he refused They threw rattlesnakes
in. his cell with the threat that they
hoped he would be eaten up, but he
managed to kill the reptiles. Then
he was forced, at the point of bayo-
nets, to sign statement that he had
been treated well.
In my opinion there are only enc or
two good battles left on the part of
the rebels, for the reason they are
scattered and ammunition is scarce.
These rebels are doing everything in
their power to get America to inter
vene. More than 10000 Americans
have been chased out Of the country,
and l believe 500 is not too large an
estimate of those already killed.
Many Leave Good Homes
"Many young Americans, who have
been attending military academies,
left good homes and entered Mexico
to settle or fight with the rebels, but
they will never return
III was broke when I got into Tex
as, but met friends and they assisted
me to get back to Wisconsin. I
would advice all Americans to keep
away from Mexico. Although the
mountainous country there is beautiful
and enticing, will settle in Wis
consin.
II noticed by the newspapers since
/ got here, that the United States is
rushing soldiers to the border and
that the government is liable to inter
vene at almost any time. There are
no Drawer men or better soldiers in
the world than the American troops,
but / do not belive they could whip
the Mexicans in years, for they will
not fight according to civilized meth
DDS of warfare, resorting to cowardly
and treacherous tricks, mainly gueril-
la fighting. The United States ought
to protect its subjects, but let the
Greasers fight it out among them
selves. 1t would not do much good
to interfere now anyway, for all of
the damage possible to American in
terests has been done. Still l be-
lieye that the rebels are right, the
people of Mexico having been tax-rid-
den and abused by the government
for years and all these rebels want is
a system of government that will give
them at least half way rights. The pres
ent system of taxation is such that any
property owner, Mexican or American,
can be taxed to such an extent that it
practically amounts to eonfscation Of
the property"

Explorer Reticent About Details ol
His Expedition Rides With
American Consul
WILL NOT DISCUSS TRIP

Hobart, Tasmania March 10.-
Capt. Road Amundsen, discoverer
of the South Pole, today said he
thought it quite possible that Capt,
Robert F. Scott also had attained the
pole. He hopes so, at least.
Amundsen's base, he said, was 500
miles from that of the British party
and his winter camp was nearer the
pole than scotts.
He had no idea, at the time, that
Capt Scott had started for the pole.
Amundsen has received thousands of
conTatulatory messages. He an
nounced that he will remain here
until the Fran sails and VIII then
begin two-months' lecture tour in
Australia and will ioin the Fran at
Buenos Ayres.
From that port he will proceed In
the Fran to the Arctic, by way of
Behrfng strait. Today Amundsen
went for an automobile ride with
Eenry d. Banter, the American con-
sui, and later dined with him. He
was reticent concerning his expe-
riences at the pole but said that
Shackleton's expedition took a more
difficult route than he did.
