AMERICAN MEN ON MEXICAN ROAD ID
 STRIKE APRIL b
Question at Issue Is Fight Against Unjust Dis crimination, Say
 the Men

Mexico City, April s.--American con- dnetors and engineers employed by the National Railways of Mexico will walk out on April 15 unless some unforeseen circumstances intervene. The railroad managers today refused the demands of the men. The latter had already voted by a large majority to strike if the com pany's reply was unfavorable. Nearly 500 employees are affected by the strike decision.
 Efforts made by the American amhas- sador through official channels to avert the prospective wallxout were without re- suit.
 The general manager of the railroad declares he will be able to fill the places of the Americans with competent Mexi- iesas and that train service will not be seriously impaired.
 The question at issue with the employees is not one of wages, but Is a fight against what they declare to be unjust discrimi- nation. The fundamental demands are for a continuation of train orders writ ten in English as well as in Spanish, a practice of many years standing, which they assert the managers propose 10 dis. continue, elimination of the language test which compels them to undergo ex- amnatlons to prove their familiarity with Spanish, and the employment of an Amer ican for every Mexican admitted to the 1 service

THE INTERVENTION
 RUMOR SCOTCHED  Officials at Washington Are a Trifle Weary of Deny
 ing Reports

Washington, April S.--The working out of plans long ago made public for the distribution in thls country of re turning Philippine troops undoubtedly has caused a revival of old rumors that a large part of the United States army Is to be assembled on the Mexican boundary. Somewhat impatiently, the general staff officers aguin today quiet cd these rumors by pointing to the various statements issued from the war department. the last as recently as April B. showing the dates of sailing of the six regiments, which are sched- tiled to end their tropical service in the Philippines during 1912
 These facts were announced some time ago and can have no connection with recent developments in Mexico. The rumors afloat today of another concentration of troops ON the border are declared to have no more basis than the fact that under instructions from Washington somv army officers are scouting in Texas for eligible camp sites for such returning Philippine troops as may be assigned to the de- rartment of Texas.

Scene of Battle Shifting

Vicksburg. Miss, April S.--With the water at Greenvile and other points top ping the flood stage of 1903. the brunt of the battle against the Mississippi flood is shifting toI the lower river from Helena, Ark. /south, tonight. The first break, unimportant. however, occurred early tonight lat Giles Bend, four miles souflr Of Nntahez. -srhe levee which col lapsed is a small auxiliary embankmeni and does not affect the main levee sys- tenn. The acreage which will be over flowed in small and composed largely of woodland
 Despatches from Plena report the levees in the immediate vicinity of that city holding and no immediate apprehension Is felt. The gaps in the levee at Mile Post a, which went out yesterday, and in Laconia Circle 60 miles south of Helena, are reported widening rapidly. Practically the entire southern half of Phillips county and part of Desha county Is under water.
 At Millers Bend, immediately south of Greenville. 800 convicts and 200 gov ernment laborers are at work topping low stretch of levee. Large forces are also at work near Dumas. Ark. and at Lake Providence, La. Lake Lee, Miss is another point of danger
 Strong levees and bluffs, 1t Is be- lieved, will afford ample protection to the larger towns of Greenvllle. Cicks- burg and Natchez Seipage caused trouble today in Vicksburgs sewerage system, but this has been remeded and further trouble is not anticipated
 Advices from Bayou Sara and An gola. La. tell of satisfactory progress in strengthening the embankments at these points.
 Because of the urgency of the situa- ton it has been determined that the ''emergency clause" of the eight hour law might be invoked and government employees are working longer hours. Ideal weather conditions is aiding in the fight.
