WASHINGTON i.
 IS AROUSED
EXECUTION OF AMERICAN IN MEXICO MAY RESULT IN DE-
 MAND FOR PREPARATION.
Fountains Death Regarded as a Cold Flooded Murder by Rebels-WiI- son Is indignant Over Pro-
 tection Statement.

Washington, April 11--Indignation of state department officials over the execution of Thomas Fountain, the American gunner, who was captured by the rebels at Parral, is believed to be certain to prejudice any attempt on the part of the Mexican rebels to obtain recognition of belligerent rights so necessary to successful conduct Of their campaign. The state department did everything in it's power to prevent the execution, which In it's opinion was in violation of the rules of war of all civilized countries. A telegram received only this morning from Am erican Consul Letcher of Chihuahua, dater April 9 and much delayed in transmission, said the consul had pro- tested to the rebel chiefs against the execution of Fountain not, only at Chihuahua, but at Parral. where the man was arrested. However, he had just heard through the local news papers, which he believed to be ac- curate, that Fountain had been tried and executed that morning.
 In the opinion of the state depart ment the mans execution was a de- liberate murder, but it is recalled in his proclamation President Taft ex- presslp warned Americans against participating in the revolution on eith- CT side, indicating plainly that they would do so at their own risk. This, however, does not preclude the gov ernment from taking measures to get reparation. Meanwhile, there does not appear to he any immediate action in contemplation
 It is regarded as a coincidence that at the time of Fountains execution Orozco, rebel commander in chief, dl- rected d long statement to the state department This might be regarded as the forerunner of an application for the recognition by the United States of the belligerency of the Mex ican rebels. In it Orozco expressly denies the existence of any feeling hostile to Americans on the part of the rebels, and repudiates the procla- nation which was widely circulated along the border recently bitterly at tacking the Americans in Mexico. This, he declared, was the product of Colonel Enrigo, who had no authority to represent him.

POPE PLUS X
 IS NOT DEAD
ERRONEOUS REPORT IS CORRECT. ED BY POPE HIMSELF AND BY
 ATTACHES OF VATICAN.
Error Occurred Through Photographic Error In the Words "Papav and "Pope"-Pontiff Is Enjoy
 Ing Good Health.

Rome, April 1.-The origin of the astounding dispatch from Madrid, which purported to have the authority of the papal nunciature there, an nouncing the death Of the pope, is incomprehensive to the vatican. from which no communication was sent which could possibly be construed in- to such an erroneous report. The popo's condition today was as physis cally perfect as could be expected of one of his years.
 The popes physician, Dr. Marchiafa- via, after ridiculing the report this evening, authorized the statement that the condition of the pontiff is normal and satisfactory.
 Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal secretary of state, was more explicit. He said the pope had been in excel lent health throughout he whole win- ter. Indeed the pontiff had experi- eneed better health than in any win ter of his later life. He had suffered no attack of gout nor even cold. except an insignificant one a few weeks ago, when audiences were not really suspended but proposed to give him a little rest before Easter week. As an indication of the pope's pres ent strength and health the cardinal added:
 Every day the holy father rises with the sun, says mass, then takes i cup of coffee without solid food. He deals with all the affairs of the church. grants private audiences. re-
 ceives sometimes a thousand neople.
 always hundred .tisssiIly. continuing
 until o'clock. without rest or food except at times another cup of cof- l fee
 "After light lunch his work con | tlnues until late in the evening. "How many young men," asked the cardinal, "couId maintain such life as does the venerable pontiff who has almost completed 77 years?" The cardinal added that the people should distrust the impressions gain ed by those who see the pope as in good faith they are deceived by his face which seems to show i'll health when in reality it bears only the marks of care.
 The pope today spent many hours in hard work. He received the papal secretary. then Cardinal DellavoIpe. prefex of the congregation of the In- dex, spent considerable time with his holiness. Later the none received Cardinal Billet of the Gregorgian uni versity, with whom he conversed for half an hour. Senor De Esertda, the Argentine minister at the Vatican, and his family also visited the pope. as well as Prince Berghese and Count and Countess De Jonghe. The pom tiff also received in general audience more than 100 persons. including sew eral Americans.

Error Made at Madrid.

Madrid, April 12.--The erroneous report of the pope's death originated through telegram which was sent to an attache at the papal nuneiature announcing the death of his father. The word used was "papa" which means either pope" or father"
 The attache assumed that IL was the pope who was dead and he so in- formed the Spanish government. Pre- mier z. Calalegas in turn communi- cated the news to the reporters. They flashed the report over the world King Alfonso and the cabinet were informed and sent messages of con dolence to the nunciature. The papal nuncio was absent when the messages arrived and the mistake was not dis covered until his return

Rise at New Orleans.

New Orleans, April 11.-During the past A hours the Mississippi river at New Orleans rose fcur-tenths of q foot, the canal street gauge at ' o'clock tonight registering 1S.6 feet.
 Reports received today by the gov ernment and state engineers here from engineers here and from en- gineers stationed at various points along the Louisiana levees show that the situation is we'll in hand.
 Engineer Schmidt of the United States engineering corps said he did not look for a single break from nat ural causes in the stretch in this state.
 Thousands of sacks filled with mud and sand have been distributed along the New Orleans levees to be used in capping in case of emergency. One thousands of the sacks were stored at the foot of Canal street for the erec- tion of a temporary embankment at that point, when the stage of the river reaches 20 feet. The bulkheads at the foot of Canal street are 2l.o feet high and the building of an em- bankment there is merely precau- tionary measure, as there is no actual danger at that point.
 Officials of the orleans leyee board declare their organization is so per feet that any point threatened could be reinforced and made safe within few minutes after the notice is giv en.

HOT SPRINGS
 FLOOD RELIEF
FUNDS RAISED WILL BE DIS BuRsED UNDER PERSONAL su.
 PERvlsloN ON SCENE.
Another Levee Break Reported From Near Natehez-Upper River Is Slowly Falling and SItua-
 ton Is Improved.
RELIEF WORK STARTED.

Realizing that money alone can not relieve the suffering in the flood district, Mayor Waters, Dave Laser, Hamp Williams and W. o. crieson of the Hot Springs relief committee, yesterday decid- ed to buy whatever supplies are necessary here in Hot Springs, and through personal supervision, have them distributed direct to the sufferers.
 Advices from all points are in effect that the most good can be Accomplished by procuring such things as are most needed and getting them where the refugees are gathering. In keeping with this information, Douglas Hotch-  kiss of the SentineI-Record leaves on an early train this morning for Madison, or suen other points as may be best used for a distribu- ton station. There 1t will be as- certalned what foodstuffs and what proportion of bedding are most needed, and in what portions 1t shall be sent. With this infor- nation sent back as soon as pos sible, Mayor Waters and the Committee have secured the ser vices of Homer Fox of the Y. M. c. A.. who will hurriedIy prepare the necessities, and personally accompany them to the distribut- ing point, taking charge of their distribution himself. Through this means all the money subscrb- cd will go directly to supply food for the hungry refugees and bed ding to protect them from the damp surroundings.
 As an evidence of the general sympathy felt for the homeless in the eastern portion of our state, subscriptions came In yesterday without solicitation. Hamp Will Hams reported the following who came into his store as volunteers with their subscriptions: F. M. Sigler, $1o; Hiram Mccafferty $5; AIhsmbra Bath House, $5; Charles sweareneen, $5; John E. Jones, s5; Robert Mooney, $5; Billy Norman, $5.
 After the report is received late this evening, Mayor Waters will announce through the press what further action is necessary, but as the committee has taken up a personally conducted relief, 1t is certain that much good can be done. Homer FOX, who will have charae of the distribution of the supplies, is experienced in such work, and once he gets on the field, equipped with the proper methods of relief, the good work of the Hot Springs relief commit tee will be notable.

DEATH CALLSEI
 ZEN. GRANT
MAJOR GENERAL FREDERICK D. GRANT DIES SUDDENLY AT
 HOTEL IN NEW YORK.
Attack of Heart Failure Results Fa- tally Before He Can Be Remov- ed to a Hospital-Death
 Was Unexpected.

New York, April 1E.-Grant is dead. The news flashed from the apartment of Major General Frederick Dent Grant at the Hotel Buckingham short ly after midnight sent shock through the city such as that which startled the whole country upon the death of his father 27 years ago.
 The news was far more sudden. It came less than an hour after the first alarm had been sounded that General Grant was even seriously i'll. The alarm itself had come before it had been generally learned that General Grant even was in the city, as his presence here had been kept a se- cret
 Get a physician quick. The gen eral is dying This telephone call received at the night desk of the Buckingham at 11:30 o'clock last night was the first news
 A bellboy was dispatched to the of- flee of pr. Abbey. nearby, but the physician was not at home. Mrs. Grant was notified and chafing at the delay, she cried historically:
 "Get an ambulance. Get anybody"
 The alarm was sent to police head quarters from which an ambulance was dispatched Calls were put in at random also for physicians in tIe Fifth avenue district and within a few minutes two had responded.
 When the ambulance arrived with in four minutes of the alarm, it was said General Grant probably was dy- ing. He was in too dangerous a con dition to be removed and the ambu- lance drove away.
 Tn the half hour previous to his death the alarm over his condition had aroused all the newspaper offices in most of which the reports were re- garded with caution in view of the fact that General Grants presence here was not known; many newspa- per men were on the scene in a few minutes, however, but as none was allowed to go to the apartments, the exact state of affairs was matter of doubt until an end was put to all when the hotel clerk was heard to repeat over the telephone:
 Grant is dead!"
 Tt was stated that the cause was heart failure following diabetes and attending digestive disturbances.
 The following statement was made at 1 o'clock by General Grants at tending physicians, Drs. Abbey and Bench:
 General Frederick D. Grant died suddenly of heart failure without pre- monitnon at the Buckingham hotel at midnight, April II, after retiring at II o'clock apparently in better con  dition than for several weeks. He had returned from his recent trip much improved and looking remark ably we'll and vigorous. His condi- ton since his return had given no spe- cial anxiety to his physician who had been with him durng the afternoon and congratulated him on his good health He expressed himself as feel ing rejoiced at his renewed strength General Grant had been suffering from diabetes and the attendant di- gestive disturbances which seemed, however, to be perfectly under control.
 This sudden fatal termination came as great surprise. His wife and nurse were with him at the time and the physicians who were called at once found the heart had stopped instantly.
