bassy. At 1 o'clock another respi'e occurred in the fighting, only to be broken a half an hour later by a rain of shell from tn erebel's rapid firers. Again all the guns of the belligerants were brought into play and until o'clock when the bu.les sounded the order to cease firing the fighting was continuous. The rebels had clearly out-fought the Maderites at every turn. They had extended their line steadily and forced back the federals until the latter held Q few advantage ous positions beyond the confines of the National Palace.
 The announcement came late in the afternoon that President Madero had agreed to the appointment of presi- dent ad interim and caused vide spread rejoicing. The position of the government was momentarily weaken ing and the troops were rapidly be- coming demoralized. The inhabitants prayed that the end of the fighting imght at last be at hand. Then came the offer from Madero to Diaz to bring about the resignation of Vice President Pino Suarez and the entire cabinet on the condition that he re- main in the presidency.

Monroe Doctrine Would }e Abandoned ii Uncle san Hid NOt
 Take Hand.

Washington, Feb. 1S-The great nations of Europe through their dip lomatic representatives in Washington have served notice on the United States that immediate steps must be taken to restore peace in Mexico or openly announce to the world that the Monroe Doctrine has been amandon- ed.
 This information came from an au- thority so close to the administration that it cannot be questioned It sup plies the reasons for the hurried Var preparations and dispatch of army and navy ships to the Mexican coast.
 For days the British, German, French and Swiss representative have made visits to the State Depart ment and the White House. They re- fused to talk for publication for the obvious reason that the conferences being held represent tremendous con- sequences.
 It is said that within the last Iwen- ty-four hours a demand has been made upon President Taft which amounts to an ultimatum. AS a result the report of the latest coup d etat in Mexico Wnlcn put P"esidenJ Gen eral Huerta in command as Malero's successor, has in no way interterec with tao var Drelarauons. .- Neither Secretary of War Stimson or Secretary of Navy Meyer have is sued any orders that will stop the movement of batleships and marines Secretary Knox read the early press reports tonight from Mexico City with grave concern, but declined to make any comments. He said n' statements would be given out until the State Department received the facts from Ambassador Wilson.

MADERO IS TO BLAME
Violated the trmistice on Sunday Vera Cruz is iiiiied With
 Refugees.

The following uncenSOred cabIed dispatch filled from Vera Itruz, tells of the horror 0i the fig iting in Mexico City. Owing tO the strict censor ship of news going out of the capital il was necessary for the cOruespOnd- ent to travel to Vera Cruz, a twenty four hour journey, to file this dis patch. Yhe conditions in the Mexi- can capital are described up to MOn- day.

Vera Cruz, Feb. 1S.-Killed as they sat in their homes Ly screeching shell that wrecked and brought their homes down upon them; cut down mercilessly by cannon and rifle fire when they ventured into the streets in the supposed neutral areas; the graves of their dead de5ocreated by pillaging hunting soldiers-these and even more barbaric horrors have made the past nine days of the fight ing between Diaz and Madero an or deal of indescribable terror to Am ericans and other unprotected for eigners in Mexico City.
 Tonight, on the outskirts of the city, are fires which appear to be bea- con lights, but which in reality are pyres for the cremation of the bodies of soldiers and n-combatants plcK- ed up on the streets. Only compara- tive few of these victims of an in- discriminate slaughter are soldiers, however. Most of them are men, wo- men and children who were unable to escape the lines of fire.
 The Dead and Wounded.
 Estimates based on reports of scores of officers of the White and Red Cross Societies place the number of dead in the city at 2,OOO and the wounded at from 5000 to 10000. How many of the wounded are bleeding and starving to death in dingy door ways and cellars to which they have crawled cannot be told. l Many homes are believed to be se- pulchres for whole families. Only sickening stench tells of the grue- some sights which these houses must contain, for their has been no effort, nor can there be under existing con- ditions, to seek out the dead and ac- count for missing names.
 Every train from Mexico City is crowded with refugees and every sur vivor arriving here has an incident in which he figured or witnessed to add to the sum total of hOrrOs. Hun dreds of these survivors have arriv- ed since Sunday, whe nthe exodus was suddenly stopped by the violation of the armistice by the federals. AL though a most rigid censorship pre- vails in Mexico City, it is known that conditions there have been growing steadily worse since Sunday. This ac- count relates only to the happenings

Friends of Castro There Believe He
viii Be Successful

Berlin. Aug. 5-Cipriano Castro for
mer dictator OF Venezuela. planned
his present invasion Of that country
while staying in Dresden few
months ago. He lved there for some
time quietly with a German friend,
Hermann Wolfram.
Castro arrived in Dresden March
26, shortly after reaching Hamburg
from the United States. A fortnight
afterward he succteded by making a
false sart, in convincing inquirers
that he had gone to Paris and even
tually to the Canary Islands.
Instead, however, he remained the
guest of Wolfram, and while in his
house drafted the proclamation to the
Venezutlan people which he issued at
Coro on July 9th. Castro left Dres-
den in July for Venezuela
In a letter today his friend VOL
fran in Dresden writes:
Now that Castro has again estab-
lishtd himself in Venezuela, where
the Overwhelming majorIy of the
people, and abve al. the most impor.
tant part Of The army, are his side,
it can scarcely be doubted that he
will soon re-tnter Caracas, in tri-
.umph and become again the leader of
the restinies of Venezuela"

The following from the Savannah

to the friends of Uncle" ]. Ben Will
son. Captain Wilson has been in the
service for many years and is gener
ally designated to the Brunswick end
of the work He has many friends
here who will be pleased to learn of
his reappointment
United States Marshal J. Ben Will
son received gratifying news last
night. 1t was a message from newly
appointed Marshal Davis Of Albany,
informing him that his nav commits
sion as deputy marshal was on the
way and instructing also to continue
in the discharge of the duties peding
its arrival
Because Of the fact that several
others were applicants for the posi-
tion, together with the delay, Uncle"
Ben, as he is familiarly called, was
beginning to have some misgivings
about the outcome. He had the in
dorsement and backing of a strong
coterie Of friends, however, combined
with fine record in the office, and
results proved that his fears were IN
founded.
Members OF the bar ana many 9th
er influential citizens made it point
to urge the reappoinment OF Mr.. Will
son. He has held similar position
under the former administration on
merit rather than for political rea-
sans as he has always been a con
sistent Democrat. His friends will be
pleased to learn that Marshal Davis
has seen fit to retain Uncle Ben.
