AMERICANS BADLY

POINT OF PISTOLS.

tanning That the Brigands Were
Madero Volunteers.

Ell PasO, TeX.-Seyenteen Americans
in Velardena, fifty miles west OF Tor
reon, Mexico, were recently lined up
against a barn, while Il half-dozen drink
crazed rebels brandished siX-shooters in
their faces and threatened summary OK
ecution unless a million dollars ransom
was forthcoming. The rebels abandoned
their orgy when $500 in gold was paid
them.
Americans, they said, had feared the
consequences of a revelation OF their
plight through official channels, and
only with the routing OF columns under
Gems. Campo and Argumedo, after near
ly two months OF Expectations, had the
facts begun to come to light.
At Velardena forty federal volunteers
captured by Gen. Campo were executed
in small squads. Rebel Offices vie
with one another for the privilege OF
conducting the executions. One OF the
pitifu1 sights was the killing of a fed
eral volunteer about 65 years old by a
rebel soldier hardly out of his teens.
A man arriving here told OF finding
near Torreon seven bodies, horribly dis
figured and mutilated. One OF them
was u woman. This act is charged to
the federal forces.
The commissioner representing the
Mexican revolutionary party here ISSUED
a formal statement denying that the
brigands who ncld up Americans at We
Iardcua were rebels, and intimating that
they were Madero volunteers. He reit-
Grated the pledge that the revolutionary
forces will protect all foreigners.
Orozco, he says, is to be tried by court
martial for his iuiammatory psoclama.

1T WAS THE TITANIC.
That Is Groves Opinion Regarding Ship
of Mystery.

London, May l6--At the resumption
Of the Board Of Trade inquiry into the
Titanic disaster yesterday, Charles Grove,
the third officer of the Californian, who
was on watch when the vessel now called
the ship of mystery" was first sight
ed on the night of the catastrophe, was
called TO the stand.
He testified that he told the captain
of the Californian that the vessel was
passenger steamer, but the captain
thought otherwise. He also said that
at ll:40 on the fatal night--almost at
the moment when the Titanic struck
the iceberg the lights of steamer
which he was watching from the bridge
OF the Californian were shut out. He
believed that the turning of the steam
er two points to port would account for
this.
Grove also said that tbe steamer he
saw had two masthead lights, which
gave further evidence that she was
passenger steamer.
Lord Mersey: do you believe the
steamer you saw was the Titanic?"
Grove After what have heard since

ably the highest ever reached. Beef
of the various cuts averages about five
cents pound more than six weeks ago,
the rump steak, for instance, being 40
cents pound. Lamb also is up to the
mark, at 40 cents fer kidney chops and
IA cents for the fore quarters. The
market men say there is a decided short
age; they ordinarily look for the choice
cuts at this time to put in cold stor-
age for the summer hotel trade. but are
not stocking up for this trade now be-
cause of scarcity OF supply and pro-
hibitive prices.
Such prices as they charge for cheeses
are almost unheard of. Old full cream
cheese which could be bought anywhere

To 25 cents now. Tho public has been
accustomed to buy cheese in the stores

Mr.. Brick is furnishing each farmer a
peck of the seed in return for one-third
of the crop. One peck, it is said, will
plant about eight acres, and the crop
is expected to run from twenty to thirty
bushels to the acre. The new grain, ac-
eording to Mr.. Brick, will make very
acceptable -four for bread, combining the
qualities of corn and wheat breads, and
il will be a superior stock feed. His
principal claim is that it is drought re-

borne on the stalk like kafr corn.
