Mexico City, Feb. 17.-President
Madero today received the reply of
President Taft to his telegram pro-
testing against possible interven-
ton. In which President Taft assured
him that the reports of the intention
of the United States government to
land forces in Mexico were inaccu-
rate.
II never expected anything less than
this" commented Madero on Presi-
dent raft's message. II regard II as
satisfactory and friendly.
The fighting continued throughout
the day but the federal guns were
quite as ineffective as ever In dis
lodging the rebels from their en-
trenchments. Furthermore. the fed
erals did not show the same aggres-
siveness which marked their action In
the early days OF the battle. This is
believed to be due to the fact that
they realize the present forces of the
government are not OF sufficient
strength to defeat the rebels.
Gen. Huerta announced. however,
that he expected soon to begin an en-
-circling movement in which bombs
would be used at short range.
Gen. Banquet is loyal to the gov
!. eminent and will be placed in COM
-mand of the reserves at the National
palace
Both Sunday and today Madero ap-
rpeared sanguine OF the success of the
federal army. He declared that the
outlook was optimistic and that he
had been offered support of all kinds.
In his opinion. zapata. the guerilla
leader. was not in favor OF Diaz.
Nearly all the non-combatants have
moved out OF the danger zone.

siole use in Mexico. Half Of them will
leave tomorrow night from Philadel-

ments.
Besides the movement of the ma
rines two army transports were or
dered tonight to proceed at ono from
Newport News to Galveston, Texas.
where they might be close at hand
for the movement of troops from the
border should an emergency arise
Early in the day the Third cavalry at
Fort Sam Houston was directed to
hold itself in readiness to entrain
for Galveston prepared for foreign
service.
The government has no transports
available in gulf waters and investi-
cation disclosed enormous expense
and delay would result in preparing
them for transport service. 1t was
therefore determined to send two of
the transport at Newport News to
the Texas port to await further or
ders. 1t was not announced which
transports would be sent, but the Nc
Clellan, Sumner and Fitzpatrick are
prepared for service.
sThe marine brigade will be in COM
mand of Col. Lincoln Karmany, the
First regiment, which leaves from
Philadelphia, being in charge Of Col.
George Barnett OF Philadelphia with
Lieut.. Col. John a. Lajune of New
York second in command. The Sec
ond regiment, sailing from Norfolk,
will be under Col. Joseph Pendleton,
who was in command during the re-
cent activity of American marines in
Nicaragua, and Lieut.. Col Charles G.
Long, who also was in Nicaragua, will
be second in command.
The withdrawal of this large num-
ber of marines means, it is said, that
that branch of the defensive service
of the country will be obliged to go
entirely unrepresented in the inaug-
ural parade. 1t was planned TO have
about 1000 marines in the long line
on that occasion.

the foreman Of the construction camp

many of the details of the shooting

STRIKERS PARADE

Calumet, Mich, Dec. !5.-On orders
Of Judge p. H. O'Brien, Sheriff Cruz
notified President Meyer of the West
ern Federation of Miners that the
strikers must do no parading. This
Matted the big union demonstration
which was ready to take place.
Mounted deputies swept the Calu-
met district and prevented the congre-
CATION of any strikers excepting in
halls. 1t is believed the first of the
year will see the end of the strike as
Ear as the federation is concerned,
though small bodies of miners may
stay out longer.
The local strikers are clamoring for
a. settlement. A standing vote was
taken on the matter of returning to
work and of the $50 strikers present
~ per cent voted to go back. This
was merely an informal vote. Presi-
dent Meyer has again offered to arbi-
srate. The offer has been ignored BY
she companies.
