SCHOOL FIRE IN SALISBURY.

SALISBURY, ~ c.. Feb. 14.-More
than 1000 school children made their
safe escape yesterday afternoon from a
fire which destroyed the laboratory of
the Salisbury graded school. Nine
children were injured. none seriously.
The fire started from defective fiue on
the second floor of an old frame struc-
ture, and great haste was necessary in
removing the children from the burning
building

Intervention
Appears Imminent.

From the early reports received by
the state department today, interven-
ton would appear to be imminent. At
the war department it was stated that
Madero is weakening, and Ambassador
Wilson has reported that the national
palace is said to have been partly de-
stroyed. Bands of guerriIlas are in
resting the streets and making 1t dan
gerous for Americans to be at large
independent bands OF rlrales have
been stationed in different parts OF tho
city, and apparently most OF them do
not know upon which side they are
lined. Four hundred guards who were
stationed yesterday in front Of the DER
man legation were unable to inform the
German minister which side they were
supporting. The officers stated that
their commander was holding an inter
view with Diaz. General Banquet was
reported to have left Toluca, going
north on the national railway to Con
tales, with the apparent intention Of
making rear attack upon the revolu
tionists.
The American club was completely
uehoilshed, az was the Protestant Mis-
sionaty church. The report that four
Americans We're killed can not be verF-
fed. From the roof Of the American
embassy, the national palace appears Il
be enyeloped in smoke, and Ambassa-
dor Wilson's dispatches state that all
reports Indicate great damage has been
done to the palace. A petition BY
Americans to Diaz demanding protec-
ton received a vague reply. The revo-
lutionists say that they need not fear
his firing as long as his forces are not
attacking the American colony.

Mediation
Suggestion Declined.

The state department today declined
TO act on the suggestion of Director
John Barrett, of the Pan American
union, that joint commission be Sc
lected TO arbitrate the present situa-
ton. Believing that within the next "a
hours the revolution will have been set
tied one way or another, the depart
ment OF state announced today that
they would take no action unless word
is received that the foreigners are being
attacked.
So serious is the situation In this
American quarter that Ambassado-
Wilson during the temporary lull in the
hostiltties sent messengers to the for
eign residents urging them to leave inn
mediately. Several of the Americans
who were injured refused to leave the
danger zone. in spite of urgent appeals
Of the ambassador and his assistants.
During the cabinet meeting Secre-
tary of the Navy Meyer announced that
considerable force of men from the
battleships can be landed tomorrow if
necessary. Whether the warshlps are
to be concentrated at Vera Cruz or
some other Mexican port will not ba
decided until later today Meantime

Diaz Rejects Madero's
Ultimatum to Sur
render and Duel Is
r e ne we'd National
Palace Fired by Shell
and Damaged.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. IA
President Madero refuses to re
sign. When a close friend of his
approached him this afternoon
and told him plainly that he
could do more good for Mexico
by giving up his Office than keep
ing up the slaughter and destruc-
ton which is now going on in
the capital, the president became
very angry and declared ne rep
resented a constitutional govc-n-
ment and that the people wanted
him.
He insisted that the federal
troops would defeat the rebels
under General Diaz within So
hours.
MEXICO CITY, Fe6. 14.-War
still RACES in Mexico City After
the rebel leader, Colonel Felix
Diaz. had rejected an ultimatum
from President Madero, Che artil-
Iery duel was renewed in all its
fury shortly after sunrise today.
The answer Of the insurgent lead
er to Madero's demand for sur
render was volley from his
heaviest guns, directed toward
the national palace.
At 1850 the federals made a sortie
against the arsenal and fierce hand-to-
hand fighting ensued in the streets, in
which many were killed. In that hour
the bomoardment had ceased, but a
heavy fire was kept up from small arms
and machine guns.
| At 81 so o'clock the cannonade was
| begun and shells were again dropping
near the cable office. The commercial
center was the object of shattering
| fire.
! White Cross and Red Cross doctors
and nurses estimated that 2,000 soldiers
| and non -combatants had been killed or
wounded in the fighting Thursday and
Thursday night.
Two federal batteries Of ten guns had
| been placed in position near the British
consulate and a constant stream OF
shells was falling around the American
club, which was in the line Of fire. An
other battery Of three guns in Canine
San Juan de Letran, was hurting It's
shells toward the arsenal, but the aim
OF the gunners was bad and many pro-
jectiles fell upon private property.
Colonel Diaz claimed to be winning
and ordered his men TO make today's
bombardment against the federal works

RUBBER AND MINERALS.

The man of commerce would enjoy see-
ing the many cases OF minerals Of all
kinds and the samples OF rubber of all
widths. colors and kinds. In one small
space there was exhibited rubber valued
at $4,000. a life size mannikin Of a ma
tive was seen cutting away long strips of
bark from rubber tree
But the most interesting exhibit Of ali
in this building represented the cleared
space in a forest. and five or six tame ele-
plants in the act Of capturing some wild
young ones. These models were only
three feet high and wonderfully true TO
life. Natives were on the elephants
backs, directing the capture. one young
rebel is between two older ones which
are butting him with their heads. or CO.
ercing him with their trunks. Another
young one is being roped. the natives aid
ing with their spears. This. exhibit is the
work OF the animal sculptor Mr.. Collin,
Of Antwerp. and is executed from docu-
ments brought from the Indies in 1910 by
the Director General OF Agriculture. This
gifted sculptor showed other equally life
like models of the zebra and the buffalo,
