Men from Last Year.

According TO the present outlook
many. of the men who composed the
team last year viii again wear a Colt
uniform this season. The old regu-
lars are rounding into shape and seem
certain of regaining their old form.
Several of the weak places have been
strengthened and the loss felt by the
sale of the old stars will not he great
as the new men trying for these posi-
tons TO all appearances will be able
to care for things in their respective
territories.
The batteries of last season will
again appear. Charlie Strain and
Mace. the youthful veterans. win again
be billed as feature attractions; while
Busy Harry Griffin and Jay Rogers
of the old guard will also come in for
their own, Raley and Tenant are
again among the squad and are work
ing hard to recover form that will
give them a running start on the
youngsters.
Strain has been working through
out the winter to keep in shape. and
is probably in better condition than
any man on the team. He has taken
on but little weight, is hard as rock
and says that he has added few
things to his repertoire of batter

You don't want a slow remedy when
your stomach is bad-or an uncertain
one-or a harmful one-your stomach
is too valuable; you mustn't inJure it..
Papes Diapepsin is noted for its
speed in giving relief; its harmless
ness: it's certain unfailing action in
regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs.
Its millions of cures in Indigestion,
dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach
trouble has made it famous the world
over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor in
your home-keep it handy-get a large
tifty-cent case from any dealer and
then if anyone should eat something
which doesn't agree with them; if
what they eat lays like lead, ferments
and sours and forms gas; causes head
ache, dizziness and nausea eructa-

remember as soon as Papes Diapepsin

New York.-Capt. James j. Clarke

Captain Clarke has figured in many
moving incidents in those southern
waters. In 1908, when he captalned
the Colon, he brought the ship and
her 500 passengers safely through a
terrific tropical storm, simply by sail
ing into the geographical center OF the
storm. There is lot more, but the
shark story is the best as we'll as the
freshest of the lot.
Well, stranger, Captain Clarke was
a,saiing small boat away out In
Limon bay at four o'clock in the after

sharks had finished their siestas and
were thinking of lunch.

ENGLAND NOTIFIES US SHE STANDS NEUTRAL
Formally Advises Washington She
viii Not Interfere With Our
Dealings in Mexico.

London-In reply to President Will
sons communication announcing his
determination to eliminate General
Huerta and his adherents from power
in Mexico, Great Britain Saturday an
swered formally that her policy was
strictly one of noninterference.
1t was understood the other Euro
pean powers had sent similar replies
to that of Great Britain after exchang-
ing views, which it was understood
Washington desired.
President Wilson's note to the pow
ers, while it stated clearly his inten-
ton to get rid of Huerta, did not, it is
understood, include any outline as to
how he expected to accomplish that
object in case Huerta should remain
deaf to persuasion.
AS an official pointed out, however,
at is not difficult 10 forecast what
would happen Should General Huerta
not voluntarily withdraw and the fl
'nancial pressure and the bio lde of
the Mexican ports prove Intellectual,
intervention must follow"
It is expected President Wilson will
communicate to the powers successive
steps of the proceedings as he has
been doing. So far as Great Britain is
concerned it is pointed out he may
rely on her reply being the same in
each case-namely, noninterference.
With her moral support and sym
patty on the side of the United States,
England remains firm also to her de-
cisi0n not to dispatch warship to
Mexican waters. She is assured the
United States will afford her citizens
and her trade interests every protec-
ton.
All this has been clearly explained
to Ambassador Page on his frequent
visits to Sir Edward Grey at the Brit
ish foreign office.

INSURGENTS CAPTURE TOWN NEAR SEA
Federals Flee From culiacan, Capital
of Sinaloa, and Rebels Now
Hold Seaport.

Nogales, Sonora.--Culiacan capital
of Sinaloa, was captured by constitu-
tionalists Friday.
The news was announced at consti-
nationalist military headquarters here
in a telegram from General Alvaro
Obregon, who was commander of the
attacking forces.
In the assault on Culiacan the con-
stitutionalist loss was 20 killed and 80
wounded, according to the figures
given by General Obregon, who was
himself slightly wounded. The as
sault was made at 8 o'clock in the
morning.
Oregon confirmed the death of
Colonel Garmendia, formerly regular
army officer, and the man who shot
down the colonel who attempted to
arrest President Madero during the
Felix Diaz uprising in Mexico City.
The troops and townspeople here
celebrated with much noise the news
that Culiacan had fallen to the insur.
gents.
Sinaloa, of which Culiacan is the
capital, adjoins Sonora on the Pacific
coast on the south. Already the in
surgents hold Culiacan's seaport, Al
tata, distant about fifteen miles by
rail. This leaves Mazatlan, the prm
cipal seaport and metropolis of Sina
loa, and .Guaymas, the California Gull
port of Sonora, the only important
ports on the west still held by the
federals, and it gives the constitution
alists access to seaport base of CD
erations.
General Obregon merely reported
that the federal defenders of Culiacar
had fled and were being followed BY
insurgent columns. He did not state
| the federal losses.
