MADEROS SAFE ON
AMERICAN WARSHIP
Fugitive Taken from the Con-
sulate in Vera Cruz to the
Rhode Island.
IBy Cable to The Tribune.l

Vera Cruz, Nov. 21.-Daniel and Everisto
Madero. who took refuge In the United
States consulate last night, were taken to
the American battleship Rhode Island
this morning.
Later In the day the relatives of the late
President Madero were transferred from
the Rhode Island to the scout cruiser
Chester The Chester Is making prepara-
tons TO sail and will either transfer the
fugitives to the steamer Moro Castle of
the Yucatan coast or take them to Ha-
vana
Public opinion here severely condemns
the American authorities for continuous
meddling in Mexican affairs. The district
judge had cited the Maderos intending to
cancel their bonds and place them at abb
solute liberty. when Consul Canada gave
them protection on their request.
A request for the delivery Of the fugi-
tives made by Colonel Eugenio Gutierrez,
aid of General Gustavo Mas Federal
commander Of Vera Cruz, was promptly
denied by William w. Canada, American
Consul. after which IT was reported that
yelled threats were made TO take the men
from the consulate by force.
In anticipation OF any such attempt q
steam launch from the Rhode Island was
lying off the sea wall. opposite the con-
sulate, with an armed crew Of bluejack-
cts. ready to ,ome ashore at a moments
notice.
About o'clock the fugitives, escorted
only by John Lind, the personal repre-
sentative OF President Wilson, and Consul
Canada, left the consulate, walked across
the vacant space TO the sea wall and
boarded the launch. which at once started
off for the hattleship.
AS they were bidding goodby to Mr..
Lind at the launch Everisto Madero ex-
claimed: only God can save Mexico" to
which his brother Daniel added. but only
with the help OF the United States"
Yes, that Is true" Evaristo replied.
The party had been followed TO the
launch at respectful distance by de-
tective who had been watching the con-
sulate all night.

VARDON AND RAY
BITTER AT PRESS
Had a Sickening Experience in
America" Golfers Say on
Reaching England.
[By Cable to The Tribune.

London, Nov. 22.-Vardon and Ray
arrived at Liverpool yesterday on the
White Star liner Celtic and announced
their intention TO say nothing about
their tour in America. They added:
I'VE had a sickening experience at the
hands OF the American papers. They
put into our mouths a great many
things we never said, and they were
irresponsible and inaccurate"
The attitude OF Vardon and Ray
toward the American press is accord
ingly one Of supreme contempt, and a
good deal OF bitterness still rankles in
their minds. They also limited at a
grievance against the English press.
and they have preserved a bundle Of
clippings to corroborate their views.
That" said Vardon in conclusion,
rs why we decided to say nothing. I
do not want to say anything at present
about America or its golf courses and
golfers, and cannot say what our plans
are. All we need to tell you Is that
Ouimet, who won the championship,
was a fine player and deserved to win"

Mexico City. Nov. 2l.-"El Diario or

fishes the statement that there was
typographical error in rs publication OF
the new stamp taxes decreed by Presi-
dent Huerta The stamp tax on the out
put OF gold and silver has not been
doubled, but remains the same, viz.
80 per cent on gold and silver shipped
abroad az ore and 2iz per cent on gold
and silver reduced In this country.
The annual tax on mines, however. has
been doubled, as well as the tax on title
deeds of mines. which at present is five
pesos a hectare. but under the new
fiscal measure will be ten pesos hectare.
An official Of the Mexican Railway told
The Tribune correspondent to-day that
although some anxiety was felt on ac-
count Of the presence OF bands Of revolu-
tionists or marauders at points near the
line, no interference with property or SER
vice had so far occurred on the main
line. He added that the company hoped

SEES ONLY GREED IN WAR
London Paper Says Mexican
Conflict Would Be Crime.

London, Nov. 22-Under the heading
"A Money Grubbers' War" The Out
look" publishes to-day bitter article
on the Mexican situation, in which 1t
says:
Across the Atlantic there is in busy
preparation. If certain forces can ac-
complish it. a crime against civiliza-
ton, against humanity. At any mo-
ment we may hear Of its first overt
stages, with inevitably the ensuing
slaughter Of tens of thousands of young
Americans and half-armed peasants,
the devastation Of humble towns and
rude countrysides. the sufferings Of the
helpless and the innocent and the out
pouring Of millions of money.
And all for what or for whom?
Wars have been waged for military
ambition, but who is the Napoleon Of
the United States? They have been
due to colonial expansion, but half the
states are sparsely peopled; and they
have bean fought for liberty--and what
wars have we seen lately sheltering
under this claim! But there is no pre-
tence of this or of any Of the historic
reasons here. A war between the United
States and Mexico, If 1t arises. will be
the first war waged solely for private

FOREIGNERS FORCED
TO PAY HUERTA'S MEN
American Concerns Included IN
Demand for Cash for Troops
at Monterey.

Mexico City, Nov. 2l.-A levy or oVo'VN
pesos has been made at Monterey to pay
the troops there, according TO reliable
reports. II is stated that the American
Smelling and Refining Company's con-
tribution toward this amount was $50"
pesos.
demand was made by the federa'
military authorities on all the foLeisn
business concerns in Monterey for cash
to provide for the maintenance OF the
army in that district. From the Mon
terev Steel Company 10000 pesos was
asked. and from the Waters-Pierce OIL
Company 1900 pesos, while others were
taxed In proportion to their Importance
The managers here OF the waters
Pierce oil Company instructed their rep
resentative in Monterey TO refuse pay
ment Of the levy and to place themselves
and the property of the company under
the protection of the American Consul.

that American firms had contributed
large sums toward the support OF the
Mexican troops when they threatened 70

lard s. Morse, formerly general manager
OF the American Smelling and Refining
Company's interests in Mexico. and now
with the corporation in New York, said:
I'VE have heard nothing in an official
way that our representatives in Mexico
have contributed toward paying the
salaries of the soldiers under Huerta,
but / wouldn't be surprised to discover
that II was true.
There has been a report that the
soldiers at Monterey had threatened 70
mutiny unless their money was forth
coming, and that the merchants in that
city and the heads OF the big American
interests, as well as ours. had been
asked TO donate to prevent that contin-
gency It would certainly be good policy
TO do this for the safeguarding OF their
property and as a matter OF self-preser-
walton. An uprising of Mexican troops
means that almost anything might fol-
low. II I had been in charge OF this

the reported situation had arisen, / would
undoubtedly have Joined the rest in the
effort to relieve the situation"
The smelling company's manager in
Mexico was said to have contributed
about $4,000 toward the support of the
troops.
