down the gangway. The militants
shouted to her through their mega

Mrs. Pankhurst protested against

under the "cat and mouse" act no
warrant was necessary.
Six policemen and wardress boarded
the steamer to prevent any of the pas

In the meantime the ordinary tender

the armed body guard was rendered

ADMINISTRATION PLEASED
WITH GENERAL OUTLOOK

Washington, Dec. 4.-The admin
dstration views with satisfaction the
evidences Of the growing sense of re-
Eponsibility OF the Mexican rebel
leaders for the protection of life and
property in Northern Mexico. The
state departments demands for the
release of Americans held for ransom
are receiving prompt attention, and
rebel generals are exerting greater re-
gtraint over the soldiers.
Some sennblance Of civil authority
is beginning to appear. Officials here
see indications that a regularly organ
ized civil government is about to
evolve from the chaotic conditions
prevailing for the last nine months.
ConstitutionaHsts themselves are said
to be divided on the question of reeog-
milton by the United States. Some
think reeognition now might lead to
NkI8 separation OF the northern states
from the southern.
The state department has not re-
ceived confirmation that the oil
companies in the state of Vera Cruz
have cancelled their contracts with the
government to supply the railroads
with crude oil for the engines Threats
by the insurgents are said to have
caused this action.
