Bandits Driven Off

Maria, Tex, February 27.-After sev- eral hours fighting the American ranchmen defending the Nelson Morris ranch at cuervo, Mexico, near the Texas line, drove off the Mexican bandits who attacked the ranch's headquarters yes- terday.
 Twenty armed Americans were on the point of invading Mexico to rescue the men on the Nelson Morris ranch when a messenger met them at Polaris. on the American bank of the Rio Grande, and told them their friends were safe. The messenger told the story of the Cuervo fight. He said the bandits at tempted to loot the ranch. Brown Paschall, manager of the ranch, resisted and barricaded the main adobe build ing. It is not known here whether any one was wounded. The bandits finally withdrew, threatening to return to the attack later. Paschall refused to re- treat to the American side, declaring he would be ready to fight 1t out. Friends of the Americans at the ranch have gone to Paschalls assistance. A band of Americans, said to be of fair num- bers. is reporv4d gathering at Polaris ready to dash into Mexico if the ranch needs Wardens.

Americans Refused Protection

Torreon, Mexico, February T.-(Via tel ephone to Viesca, February N)-American citizens now besieged by rebels at Val ardena today communicated to the local military commander a statement that for three days they have been subjected to robbery and rough handling and that they are in actual danger. Their request for military protection was refused on the ground that there were not sufficient troops in Torreon. Foreigners at Valar- dena were authorized to arm themselves for their protection.
 For IS days Torreon has been blockaded by vasquistas and during that time resi- dents have received no outside mall. Pro- visions are running short Military re- inforcement arrived overland yesterday and repair trains were sent out under escort on the main line of the National railways where many bridges have been burned.

LongwOrth Neutral

Nicolas Longworth of Ohio. son-in- law Of Theodore Roosevelt, returned to Washington today after a visit with the colonel in Boston and announced that ne would not take any part in the cam paign for selection of dele~ates in the Chicago convention from his district in Ohio.
 Mfr. Longworth several weeks ago an- nounced himself in favor of the, renomi- nation of President Taft.
 'I shall take no part in the selection of delegates to the republican national convention from my district" said MT Longworth.
 Had you thought of being dele gate?' he was asked.

 Predicts New York for Taft
 While Mfr. Barnes did not name Presl- dent Taft or mention his candidacy in any way, his meaning could not be mis- construed when he pointed out that each New York district would elect repubii- can delegates by the primary system on March 2s and delegates at large at the state convention on April g. and predict ed that the best judgment of nearly one-half million of enrolled republicans would be expressed"
 It was expected the conference between the President. Mir. Barnes and Secretary Hilles would he short, as the President had an enga agement to address the local University club at It's annual banquet. His engagement was for 9:50 D. m., but he did not reach the banquet room until nearly Il o'clock. Mir. Taft remained for an hour and then hurried back to the White House and rejoined MT. Barnes.
 Mr. Barnes left the White House at 80 o'clock. At his hotel he declined to add to his early statement. When asked to say whether he was going to come for an instructed delegation for Taft in New York he replied that his statement said enough. He may have some political con- ferences here tomorrow.
 Among those who learned of Mir. Barnes views and who claimed to be familiar with his probable purpose 1t was stated that he undoubte)y had urged the Pres idcnt to insist upon very strong plat form in so far as 1t reaffirmed republican principles of the past and to hold out against recent doctrines as Expressed by the more radical of the progressives.
 = Statement of Barnes
 The statement issued by Mir. Barnes before going to the White House was as foliows:
 T want to make it clear that I gave out this statement before I went to the White House" said MT. Barnes The burden of the statement is about Col onel Roo6evelt's recent speech at Co., lumbua It follows in full:

ened for a long time, and that a def milton of fundamental principles was, therefore, absolutely necessary in or der that the party might endure as the preservative force in the nations life.
 The speech of MT. Roosevelt at Co- lumbus is a violation of republication When casually read 1t would seem to contain formulation of doctrines, but coupled. as 1t immediately was. with a declaration of the authors candidacy for the nomination to the presidency, 1t acquired virlity, but lost that dispas- sionate devotion to principle which would have given it whatever quality 1t might have possessed. In other words, this exposition at Columbus was to preface candidacy rather than to maintain a principle and a candidacy which had been by it's progenitor dis tinctly repudiated.
 This seems so clear to me that al though 1t Is impossible for me to sub scribe to the doctrine of the Columbus speech, I would feel that if l were one who could subscribe to that doctrine, my feet were on slippery ground.
 Situation in New York
 "Regarding the situation in the state of New York, delegates from each con- gressional district will be elected at a primary election on March 26 by the direct vote of nearly 500,000 enrolled republicans in the whole state to the national convention to be held at Chi cago, and at the state convention to be held in Rochester April g four delegates at large will be chosen by the vote of a majority of the delegates elected to the state convention at the same pri- mary.
 There is no doubt whatsoever that the best judgment of the republican electors of New York will be expressed at that primary. and that the conven- tion which will assemble in Rochester, as a result of that primary will reaf- firm those principles of the republican party which have made it in the past the medium through which thoughtful and patriotic people of the country have rested in security that their govern ment will be representative, farsighted and tenacious of the rights of every in dividual. whether his opinions coincide with the majority or whether they do not.
 ''The republicans of the state of New York can no more be swerved from their obvious duty now than they were In 1S96, when the state, with others, united to hold the party firm in resist ance to the crazed ideas of that hour"
