SURRENDERED TO
u. s. CAVALRY
Mexican General Came Across the Bor-
der After Fierce Fight in Which
200 Were Killed.

NACO, Ariz., April 14-Gen. Pedro
Ojeda, commanding the remnants of
his federal garrison of 800 troopers at
Naco, Sonora, surrendered to the United
States troops on border patrol here yes
terday. after having withstood a siege
of state troops which lasted for five
days, and in which more than half his
troopers were killed.
The surrender was hastened by the
attack upon the federal garrison by the
band Of Yaqui Indians under Gen. Al
varo Obregon, commanding state troops,
who at daybreak burst in upon the
little garrison across the border and
fought viciously. The dead on both
sides has been estimated at 200.
Gen. Oieda. true to his promise, re-
fused to surrender to the state forces,
and while the fighting was at its height
he attempted to march across the bor-
der with his band Of faithful federals.
The fire from the enemy was demoral-
izing and Ojeda and his men scattered,
running to the railway tracks which
separate the two border towns. Not
even then did the firing from the rebels
case and Gen. Oieda shouted to the
American soldiers watching the fighting
from a distance.
Capt. II. A. Sevarts, \ Troop, 9th
L. S. Cavalry, ran at once to his as
sistanee. The American officer grasped
the Mexican general by the arm. To
gether they ran through the hail of lead
to where an automobile was waiting.
Capt. Figueroa of the federal garri-
son, with Is men, remained behind to
cover Gen. Ojeda : fight. One by one
he and his fellows died in the barracks,
surrounded by horde of yelling,
Strengthening Yaquis. When the Indian,
burst in the windows and doors and
crawled through shell-made apertures
in the building there were no living
federals to greet them.

25O,OO0 MEN
JOIN STRIKE
Vast Political Movement by
WOrkmen's Organization
in Belgium
WORKERS DEMAND
MANHOOD SUFFRAGE

Socialists at the Head of the Move.
ment-strikers are Warned to Re
frain from Violence-Women and
Children Sent out of the Country.
BRUSSELS, Belgium, April 1.-THE
vast political strike for manhood suf-
fragc, prepared by the socialistic work
men IS organizations, began at dawn to-
day.
AT least a quarter Of million work
men laid down their tools, according to
reports given out in non-socialist quar-
teTs
There were exceptions to the general
walkout, but in the mining districts the
strike was generally complete.
Probably quarter of the wOrkmcn
in Brussels and the suburbs where the
factories are located stayed out of the
shops this morning.
Reports tell of nearly complete stop
pate Of Worl, at Lcige, Charleroi, Mona,
lalOuviere and other smaller cities
At Mona it is estimated that 10000
are out. At Lalouvierc 26,00O men are
idle, mostly in the carriage building
and tobacco trades.
Unlike most strikes, this movement
is not for an increase in wages or a
bcttcrment Of working conditions; it is
protest against the refusal of the
government to grant the workers man
hood suffrage. Coal miners, railroad
men, glass workers, foundrymen. cleo
tricians and dockmen have pledged
themselves to obey the summons Of the
socialist leaders to make the waIkout
an effective one.
If the commands of the organizers
Of the agitation are needed the men
viii refrain from acts of violence. In
deed, the workers have promised that

men win be furnished to pump the
mines, keep the blast furnaces going
and otherwise protect the property Of
the masters, so that when the strike is
ended an immediate resumption Of
work can be begun. The government,
however, is taking no chances and as
precaution against possible disorders
has stationed troops at strategic points
for use in case of need.
Thousands Of women and children
have been sent out of the country by
the workmen so that they may not
suffer as a result of the strike. The
strike leaders say they have $3,000,000
with which to carry on the movement.

The interest aroused by the an

that today Eugene Davis of New York,
who viii be the president Of the com

He said:
- venture the prediction that the
coming Of the National Automatic Ma
chine company to .Brattleboro viii
prove to be the most important event
in your industrial and commercial his
tory. This statement IS based upon
facts which admit of no other eOnclu-
sion. Briefly stated they are:
- First, the known demand for the
machines TO be manufactured is so
great, not only in this country, but
throughout the world and is growing so
rapidly that the chief difficulty will be
in manufacturing them in sufficient
quantities to meet the demand The
company will not be under the neces-
sity Of creating a market for its prod
ucts.
." Second, BY the time buildings can
be erected and equipped with adequate
machinery the business viii neeessitate
the employment of 25OO to 1000 skilled
artisans and high class mechanics. This
will mean an increase Of Brattleboro =
population of from 10000 to $1,000.

ANARCHIST TRIED TO
KILL KING OF SPAIN
Three Shots Fired at the Monarch, Who
Escaped Injury Through His Own
Quickness.

MADRID, April H. - For the third
time in his reign King Alfonso mar
rowly escaped yesterday being the vie
tim of an anarchist attempt against
his life. Three shots were fired at the
king yesterday afternoon i'm the streets
of the capital by a native of Barcelona.
Rafael Sanshez Allegro, who was i'm
mediately -overpowered.
King Alfonso owed his life TO his
own courage, quickness and skilled
horsemanship. Accompanied by his
staff, he was riding along the Calle
de Alcaia on the way back from the
ceremony OF swearing i'm the recruits
when man sprang from the sidewalk
and seized the bride of the king s
horse with one hand, presenting re-
volyer point blank with the other.
The king took in the situation at a
glance. With lightning rapidity he
dug his spurs into his horse. which
reared violently. His quic kness saved
his life. The bullet. instead of bury
ing itself in the king 5 breast, struck
the horse in the neck, but so close
was it that the king left hand glove
was blackened by the powder dis
charge.
Before the assailant was able to
pull the trigger again a secret service
man sprang upon him. The two men
/ fell to the ground locked in each 9th
/ er : arms, struggling furiously. The as
sassin managed to free his revolver
/ arm and fired two more shote in rapid
succession, but the officer knoc ked his
arm aside and the bullets flew harm
! lesslv through the air.
At the sound of the first shots the
king staff forced their horses on
the sidewalk and made a ring around
the assassin, who fought long and
fiercelv in the grip of four policemen
before he was overpowered and hand
cuffed.
King Alfonso, as soon as he saw
that the man had been secured, raised
himself in the stirrups, turned to the
crowd, gave a military salute and
shouted in ringing voice, Long live
Spain"
He then dismounted and reassuret
his staff, saying, cit is nothing, gentle
! men.
Then up rose a mighty roar from tn,
wildly enthusiastic masses, whicl
rolled along in great waves of soun,
all the way as the king rode to tn
palace, cool. collected and smiling.
A spectator, pensioned royal hal
berdier, pushed forward so impetuousl,
to offer his congratulations to tn
monarch that he was mistaken TO
another assassin and arrested He wa
released, however, as soon as the mis-
take was discovered. a young French
man, who was standing beside Allegro
: was also arrested but it does not aI

with him.

riedly taken into house and kep

MADRID, Spain, April liking
Alfonso took a ride in the park early
this morning and was warmly saluted
by the crowds who gathered to cheer
him.
Joy reigned everywhere owing to
the fact that the king had escaped
the bullets fired by the would-be regi-
eide Rafael Sanchez Allegro, while his
majesty was returning from review
of the troops Yesterday.
Allegro was in a merry mood during
his examination. his saIlies causing the
guards and the interrogating magis-
trate to smile.
Inquiries in Barcelona show that Al
lcgro was rejected from the Spanish
military service owing to nervous at
tacks and frequently had been with
out employment.
