u. S. DEBATES WHAT
TO DO WITH MENA,
NiCARAGUAN REBEL

WASHINGTON, Sept. estate de-
partment officials here are worried con-
corning the ultimate disposition Of
General Luis Mena, Nicaraguan rebel
leader, who with 700 men surrendered
to Rear Admiral Switzerland at mid =
night on Tuesday.
Acting Secretary Of State Huntington
Wilson is debating whether Mena shall
be held by the American forces, turned
over to the federals or exled from
the country.
While the United States would not
countenance officially the summary ex-
ecution of the rebel leader, 1t is well
understood that the state department
would make no protest should Presi-
dent Diaz follow such course. Mena,
by his barbarous attacks on women and
children and non -combatants, and his
Smelling by his ships Of unprotected
households. has placed himself outside
department officials are of the opinion
that his immediate execution would b.
the best thing for that country.
In the same dispatch from Minister
Weitzel, who confirmed Mena's surren-
der the state department learned that
conditions at Granada when the Ameri-
can forces arrived there were of the
worst possible. Women and children
were dying in the streets from starva-
ton. while rebel soldiers brutally at
tackled any one who made an cutlery.
What little food there was in the city
had been captured by the rebels. who
had also cut off the supply of water.

that the strikers Should be allowed to

Snake Bites Man and She Sucks
Out Deadly Venom.
Joseph Eberhardt Of San Francisco
Attacked by Reptile While ON
Fishing TrIp-HerOlc Treat.
nNant Prevents Death.

MayheId, Cal.-Cutting deep into
the flesh Of the leg of her father, after
he had been bitten by rattlesnake,
getting down upon her hands and
knees, putting her lips to the wounds
made by her knife and the fangs OF
the poisonous reptile, Anita Eberhardt,
twelve years old, sucked the venom
from the wound Of Joseph Eberhardt
and saved his life. Then, half carry
ing and half dragging him, she got
him to camp a quarter Of mile away,
where, with difficulty, she placed him
on the back of a saddle horse and
started him to the nearest farmhouse,
eight miles away.
Arriving at the farmhouse, Eber-
hardt fell In a dead faint and was
hurried to hospital in Palo Alto.
Eberhardt is a harness maker Of
San Francisco, and with his daughter
has been camping at the old Hub
bard & Carmichael mill in remote
section of the San Mateo mountains.
They arrived in this city and rented
horse that the girl might ride and
that they might pack their camp out
At to the old mill.
They started on fishing trip to
Rock creek, three-quarters Of mile
from their tent. Hardly had they
gone a quarter Of mile when Eber-
hardt was bitten In the calf Of the
leg by a big RATHER. He killed the
reptile, but soon began to weaken as
the poison took effect. The girl made
him lie down, and, after bandaging
the leg above the fang marks, took
a large knife and made deep ineisions
into the flesh.
After her father was ON his way to
the ranch house the girl set out on
foot to follow and reached the ranch
in the afternoon.
Eberhardt is recovering, but physi
clans say that had 1t not been for the
presence Of mind Of his daughter and
her prompt actions he. would have
died in the mountain wilderness. They
said all the poison had been taken
from the mans body by the heroic
treatment Of the girl.
