frequently received threatening let terS.
 The dynamite lay at the basement door of the concrete area way near the mayors window. The explosive was arranged in the lattice formation with two small pieces on top. A partly burned four-inch fuse made of gunpowder in a tightly rolled paper cylinder, led to the detonating cap 91 enc of the half-sticks of dynamite.
 Close to the explosive was a piece of Chinese punk and several partly burned matches. The dynamite and fuse were wrapped in piece of heavy cambric secured by twine. The bureau of combustibles experts say the only thing that prevented a dis astrous explosion was the presence of q strip of cotton wool wound so tightly about the base of the fuse that the spark could not reach the detonator The edge of one dynamite stick was slightly scorehed.

ANOTHER DYKE
 ID BE BLOWN
 IN BIG DITCH
Important Step to Be Taken on Monday Toward Com pletion of the Panama Canal Letting Pacific Into the Big Cut
IAssoc1ATEp PRESS pIsPATcH7


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Another important step toward the final com pletion of the Panama canal will be taken next Monday when preparations will be made to blow up the heavy earth dyke now the only barrier be- tween the Nfiraflores locks and tide water on the Pacific side three miles away.
 There will be nothing spectacular about the destruction of the dyke. Its base will be perforated by number of holes and heavily charged with dyna- mite Then for five days fresh water from the Rio Grande diversian of one of the rivers in the canal zone will be turned into the canal prism and when the water is near the level of the sea on the other side the charge will be set off.
 It is expected that two or three days will be required to clear the channel through the dyke sufficient to admit dredges and vessels of ten or twelve feet draft as far as the Miraflores locks
 A month later the channel will be the full width of the canal prism and deep enough to pass a battleship. After the destruction of the MirafIores dyke there will remain only two such Ob- structions along the canal route, one at Gamboa. about one-third of the way through to the Atlantic, holding back the water from the Culebra cut and one over which the railroad crosses at the Katun locks

 DEMANDED FOR
 ALL AMERICANS
Senator Pcnrose Addresses
 Letter to Secretary Bryan Urging He Telegraph
 Huerta and Carranza Warning Against Violence
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcH1

WASHINGTON. Aug. 21. - Senator Penrose addressed a letter to Secre- tary Bryan tonight demanding that he immediately telegraph Huerta and General Carranza, the constitutional ist leader, warning them the Ameri can government would hold them per sonally responsible for harm inflicted on Americans in Chihuahua threaten ed by the revolutionists. Shirley C. Hulse, son-in-Iaw of Lieutenant Gov ernOr Reynolds of Pennsylvania, and his family are among the Americans in the threatened group at the plant of the American Power x Irrigation company. The secretary said tonight he had not received Penrose's letter but telegrams as strong as the sena- tor could wish" had already been sent by the department, and a letter had been prepared giving him the sub stance of these messages.
 American troops for police duty in Mexico and for the protection of American lives and property, and an emergency appropriation of $25,000,- 900, to be expended under the direc- ton of the president for that pur- pose, was also proposed in a resolu- tion by Penrose today. He did not ask the senate to adopt it, and it went over one day. A concerted effort on the part of the republicans and demo- crats to support the president in his Mexican policy and to carry to the world the idea that the president has the full support of the American peo- pie at once become apparent
 Emphatic and concerted declara- of senators of both parties of confi- dence in the good faith of the presi- dent was plainly an answer to the re- ports from Mexico that Huerta is con tending that the executive had a di- vided congress and public opinion be- hind him. There is a general demand for cessation of all debate and to support the president.
 Senator Penrose introduced today a resolution requiring the president to take the United States troops in Mex ico to protect American lives and prop erty. Such step to be decreed by the senate is in no way an unfriendly act toward Mexico.
 PenrOse also introduced an amend ment to the deficiency bill for the ap- propriation of twenty five million dol lars to be expended as the president might direct for the protection of lives of Americans in Mexico. The resolu- ton went over for one day under the rules. In explaining the appropriation

amendment, Penrose said:

amendment, Penrose said:
 "The administration asked for one hundred thousand dollars to take Americans out of Mexico. I think they have no right to attempt to break up their homes and occupations. Rather than appropriate this pittance of one hundred thousand dollars to make this a general removal, I would appropriate twenty five million dollars to keep them there and protect them.''
 Senator Nelson said that it is un-
 wise to agitate the Mexican question now Such agitation, he declared.

 dent. who is doing everything he can to bring about peace This resolution, the exploiting speeches, are of an em- barrassing character to the admin istration. We agitate intervention. and intervention means war. We should do everything we can to avoid war and give Mexico the same chance which We asked and received ir; the civil War; when intervention was threatened by European nations. " PenrOse replied that he had no idea ot urging war or of intervention. but he wanted to afford protection to Americans, particularly along the bor- der, such as had been afforded in the past in Nicaragua and other Central American countries.
