washington f7edfS news OF AttdCk.
Washington, Oct. "a. - "Federals
commenced attack on city at $50 a..
m"
This laconic wireless message, re-
ceived at the state department from
Commander Charles F. Hughes, of the
cruiser Qes Moines, was the first init
nation that the expected battle of
Vera Cruz between the Mexican fed
erals under General Beltran and the
revolutionists under General Diaz had
been begun.
The commander of the Des Moines
infp-med the department that the
refI kwarned of the federals' inten
- to attack, were prepared for the
edeagement and went into the battle
confident of victory.
He added that the foreigners in Vera
Culz were entirely safe. the consular
having established a neutral
zone for Americans and other foreign
ers and non-combatants.
The long-heralded battle was begun
after many hours of negotiations be-
tween. General Diaz, self-proclaimed
provisional president, and the federal
commander Emissaries of Diaz tried
to persuade General Beltran to desert
the Madero cause and enlist under his
own banner. Beltran is said to have
been offered the post of minister of
war, but he declined.
During the night the little army of
General -Beltrain was joined by those
Of General Zeosaya and General Vega
from Santa Fe. The intrenched posi-
ton of the rebel troops was attacked
from three sides at the same time.

Aew Revolt Ends With Saneuintry Bat
tie Outside City, In Which There
Were Few Casualties.
Vera Cruz, Mexico, Oct. 24.-Felix
Diaz, with the whole of his staff, was
captured and all of the rebels were dis
armed The casualties were insignii-
cant.
Thus ended the rebellion headed by
the nephew of the deposed president
of the republic, who a few days ago
took the city of Vera Cruz without fir
ing a shot.
The entire army of General Diaz.
composed of $500 men, was disarmed
by the victorious federals.
The battle ragged for three hours
before the government forces under
General Beltran forced the insurgents
to surrender.
The rebels were driven back into
the city from the suburbs and made
their last stand in the barracks, which
were taken by storm.
General Diaz surrendered after Cen
eral Beltran's troops had brought can
non to bear on the barracks. The reb-
els were completely trapped and Diaz
notified the federal commanderJt that he
would yield in order to avert great
loss of life.
This defeat is expected finally to
end the attempt of Felix Diaz, the
nephew of former President Porfirio
Diaz, to depose President Madero and
make himself head of the country.

TREASURER GEORGE MAKES
CAMPAIGN STATEMENT

LINCOLN, Neb., April l6,-(speeial Tel
egram.)-state Treasurer Walter A.
George this evening issued the following
statement:
There have come into my hands copies
Of letters that have been sent out to
newspapers in this state enclosing re-
said letters and clippings referring TO the
purchase by the state of $1,000 OF city
OF Wymore bonds. These letters purport
to have been written by one II. Buchtel
OF Lincoln, Neb., a person whose name
is not found in the city directory nor In
the personal tax HIST Of said city, though
the letters are mailed from the Lincoln
postoffice, and II is therefore reasonable
TO believe that said name Is that OF nc
titious person. There Is proof to show
that these letters were In fact written
and mailed by my opponent Franklin
c. Hamer, and said letters and clippings
were sent out by him In an attempt TO
cast discredit on me as state treasurer
because of alleged misconduct In the pur.
chase OF said bonds. Il must be noted
clippings my former statement In regard
to this matter, which was part OF the
article as published. has been very care
fully cut out.
This was bona fide purchase and was
made with money held In the regular In,
the proceeds of the sale OF other bonds,
and II did not come under the Potts law.
Allusious or insInuations either eN-
pressed or implied. contained I'm either OF
said letters or newspape: clippings lnu-
mating any improper conduct on my part
as an official or otherwise In said pur-
chase are unfounded. in fact, and are
absolutely and unqualifiedly false. ana
the person making them knows them 70
All records pertaining to this purchase
and all other purchases of bonds, ana All
other official records Of mine are open
10 inspection and | court the closest
scrutiny and inquiry.
Means such as those referred to above
are not uAed by the honest and conscien-
tious man offering his services to the
state, but rather by men Of the type OF
Franklin c. Hamer, who advertises HIM
self as a farmer and investment banker,
and who is a professional bond broker.
/ leave II to the people TO be the judges
Of the motives Of a man who spends the
amount OF money that Franklin c. Hamer
has spent In this campaign TO secure the
nomination to an office that pays sal
airy Of only $3.50 per year.
WALTER A. GEORGE,
state Treasurer.
We the undersigned members OF the
Board Of School Lands and Funds GER
tify that the purchase of the Wymore
bonds 10 the amount Of $500 was reg
