Marconi' s Excuses.

Today William Marconi and ]. NJ,
Sammis, chief engineer of the American
Marconi company, attempted TO explain
why the wireless operators on the Car
psthia were slenced in order that they
might give all exclusive story Of the II
tanic's fate to 4 New York newspaper.
Marconi maintained stoutly that he bad
nothing 10 do with the shameful business:
further than 10 permit them to sell their
stories after they arrived.
Sammis admitted having sent thcm
dispatches from Seagatc. while the Car
pathia was still inbound. telling them
that arrangements had been made for
the sale of their stories In ''four fig
urcs" u was his hush message which.
in the opinion of the committee. made IL
impossible TO get news from the Car
pathia before her survivors came ashore.
Sammis attempted to establish that the
sale Of these stories WAS not intended TO
be exclusive by announcing that the In
ternational News Service had tug
equipped with the wireless, But tho In
tcrnatlonaI News Service. in addition to
paving FOR its own tug. paid the Marconi
company $500 for fitting her out and
made no attempt 10 'scw up Cottam and
Bride. the wireless men on the Car

Rebels Defeated.

MEXICO, Feb. 10.-The Zapatista
revolutionary troops in closing in on
Mexico City and attempting to affect
the capture of the capital clashed with
the federal army at Horseshoe hill, SO
miles south and were defeated. A total
of 100 men were killed in an engage
ment which extended to 5000 men in
the fight. There were 1000 rebels. 1t
was the biggest fight yet.
The rebels had the hill and were
pushing toward the city when the 1900
federals attacked and by deploying
south separated the rebels and attack
ed the left wing. This drove the reb-
els. from their base and although they
rallied they were finally compelled to
retire.

to the United Press upon the recent
exchange of notes between the United

known that the preservation of neu-
trality by the power in the recent
Chimes events is necessary in the mu
tual interests of both countries.
"The Knox note contains valuable
