ACARRANZISTAS DEMAND THE
HEADS OF HUERTA AND DIAZ.

The first American to reach Browns
vile from the interior of Mexico since
railroad operation was stopped, two
weeks ago, arrived here last night, af-
ter having Travelled much of the dis
lance from Chalchihuites, Zacatecas,
Mexico, to CamargO, opposite Rio Gran
de City, Texas, by handcar. His name
is VIM. Il. Tempe. and he is editor of the
TOrreon. Coahuila, Enterprise, an Eng
lish paper Of that city. Mr.. Tempe has
been endeavOring to get to the United
States since April 20, and after working
in this direction nearly a month he has
at last been successful.
He Travelled from the mininm camp of
C~halchihuites to the Mexican Central
by driving carts and coaches and using
mail carts. After reaching the railroad,
however. he found it entirely out Of com
mission, so far as the operation of trains
was concerned. From San Pedro to Mon
terrey. a distance of about 300 kilOme-
meters. he Travelled with the aid of a
handcar, making the trip in two days,
and arriving safely at Monterrey, with
out any mishap though the way led
through what is popularity supposed to
be rebel territory.
AT the latter point he obtained per-
mission from General Mier, then COM
mander Of that military zone, to go to-
ward MatamOrOs with the first military
train. which was to have left Monterrey
last week. However, at the last moment
the schedule of the military train was
changed, and it was sent out on the
Tampico branch of the Mexican Nation
al to the San Juan river. where a bridge
had been destroyed by constitutiOnalists.
General Fernando Gonzales. the new
commander of the military zone, in the
meantime arrived at Monterrey to sue
coed General Mier, and Mr.. Tempe OBJ
tanned a permit, as well as a passport,
from him to enable the traveller and some
companions to make the trip to the Uni
ted States.
The trip as far as the Aldamas bridge
was made without mishap, but at this
point the travellers, who included Rev.
and Mrs. L. S. Onderdunk and child.
Methodist missionaries of San Luis Pc.
tOsi. and a crew of four men. found they
could not cross the bridge with the hand
car. The t~restlewOrk, was practically
destroyed, all the rails were twisted al
most into coils, and there was hardly
any portion of the structure left with the
the exception OF the concrete pillars. I'm
daunted, the travellers carried the hand
car down the bank of the San Juan river
twenty or thirty yards, and let it down
into the canyon with the aid of a rope.
They then fOrded the stream, and pulled
the handcar up on the east side Of the
bank, replaced it on the track and with
short interruptions here and there made
their way with the car to Camargo sta
ton, opposite Rio Grande City, TEXAS.

SUBMARINES TO HAVE
AEROPLANE GUNS

BERLIN, June L.-The contest OF the
submarine against the floating war
ship has made considerable progress,
and as a result Of experiment a good
deal of data have been collected. which
can be tested only under the actual
conditions of war.
1t has been hitherto assumed that
there is no anudote 20 the submarine,
but there Is reason to believe that
hydro-aeroplanes. when flying at con-
siderable height can see craft when
they are travelling submerged. Possibly
the aerial vessel. bv the use a gun fir
ing downward. may be able to hit the
submerged vessel, even when TO a ship
on the surface her whereabouts are
unknown.
The possibility of such development
has already suggested to the German
naval authorities the desira billty OF
arming their submarine craft with anti
aeroplane guns. IL Is stated that the new
German submarines will mount a gun
Of 2.S-inch caliber which can be used
either vertically or horizontally, ac-
cording to the character of the enemy.
This weapon IS 10 be carried on
special type of disappearing mount,
SO that IL may be lowered when the YES
sci goes below the water. II is said
that the operation of housing the gun
can be completed in about twenty sec
onds. An appa ratus has been devised
TO facilitate training the gun YER
tically on an seropiane.
