DE LA BARRA SUGGESTED As
THE MEXICAN MEMBER OF
THE COMMISSION.

Washington, Feb. Ambassador
Wilson's overnight dispatches were
laid before President Taft today i'm
mediately upon his return from Phila-
delphia. They contained principally
an account Of the most disquieting fea-
ture Of the fighting 1.-The killing Of
two American women yesterday
Administration Officials look with
much apprehension on the effect
Of the killing of two Americans, and
one Of the first results of the incident
was last nights order to Ambassador
wilson to warn all Americans oat
the danger zone.
Ambassador wilson's course Sc far
has the unqualified approval Of the
administration, though some Of the
army men question his attempt to stop
hostilities. Admitting that his aim
was to protect lives and property OF
Americans and other foreigners, there
will be less bloodshed and a speedy
determination of the rebellion if the
combatants are allowed to fight it
out.
Prepared for further call for bat
tleships, the navy department has
kept Admiral Badger, in command Of
the Atlantic fleet at Guantanamo adj
vised of developments. The ships
with fires banked, are ready to move
at once.
The marine corps, always ready

tion of its companies at the Atlantic

zone also is ready to move
Ambassador wilson's dispatches to-
day report many houses occupied by
Americans have been seized by federas
troops and the occupants driven to
the streets. Homeless and exposed to
the fire Of both rebels and federals,
the dismayed refugees made their way
at the risk Of their lives, to the Ameri-
can embassy which is now open to
all refugees.
Ambassador Wilson, however, is
now distributing the majority among
the adjoining houses by means Of
committee which he organized. All
dispatches to the American embassy

Taft Thinks Situation Ia Grave
President Haft talked with callers
today about the situation in Mexico
and they said he regarded the case
as more grave than It had been at
any time since the abdication Of por-
flrio Diaz.
Those who consulted with Mr.. Tafk
Vouay ueciaFed the fact that he was

FIGURE SKATING CHAMPIONSHIPS
New York, Feb, 19.-In view of the
extraordinary popularity that the
sport of ice skating is enjoying at the
present time, considerable surprise
and some disappointment are exected
by lovers of the sport over the fact
that the United States and Canada
have no seen fit to send some of their
star performers to compete in the
worlds figure skating championships
this year. The championships are
scheduled to begin today in Vienna
under the auspices Of the Els club
Of Austria, which this year is cele.
brating its twenty-ffth anniversary
Since 1890, at st. Petersburg, there
has been no American Representative,
so far as fancy skating is concerned,
in Europe.
Figure skating originated in Holland
and in 1860 was introduced into Eng
land by royal exiles returning at the
time of the restoration from Holland,
when they brought the Dutch roll.
In Scotland the Edinburgh Skating
club existed in 1742. In America fig
ure skating was an institution in
Colonial days, and in 1772 BENJAMIN
West the painter, was skillful shat-
er, and during visit to England he
captiyated the Londoners with his
graceful gyrations on the serpentine.

Patriots oppose Measure
Not until the meeting last night
was it known that there is any oppo-
sltlon to the Lobato on the part OF
any of the citizens of Las Vegas.
When it was annonced that John ID.
w. Veeder and Lieutenant Governor
IE c. de Baca had appointed them
selves a committee of two to delay

de Baca had succeeded in having in
roduced in the house substitute
measure. This measure will have to
take the course followed by all sub
stitutes. It is now in the hands Of
the committee on state affairs and
likely will not be reported out for
several weeks. II Is the evident in
tention OF Messrs Veeder and Baca to
Ihavethe bill delayed as long as pos
sible with the intention Of allowing II
to die a natural death.
The Lobato bill provides that the
grant board may have power to invest
its funds in securities or bonds for the
completion Of the Camfed irrigation
project. Messrs. Veeder ana de baca,
under the guise Of safeguarding the
interests Of the grant. have endeayor-
ed to have the bill changed to provide
chat the grant board may not take
this action unless all the other funds
needed for the project have been pro
vlded for. They also wish the legs

the grant shall be deposited in the
bank offering the highest rate Of in

Mexico City, Feb. 13.-Another
fierce street battle, which was ex-
pected to be decisive, was begun be
tween the federal troops supporting
President Madero and the rebels un-
der Felix Diaz in Mexico City at s
o clock this morning
The government forces had the adj
vantage in numbers, their army to
falling 1000 men against the 1000 re-
volutonists under Diaz. General Huer-
ia and President Madero declared
they would be badly disappointed ami
surprised il Diag and his mutipous az,
my were not reduced to submission
before nightfall.
The battle opened with heavy firing
by the federal artillery, which had
been strongly reinforced in the night
The rebels occupied the same posi-
tions they held yesterday around the
arsenal and the Y. NJ. c. A. building
an dfrom there they replied with a
hot fire.
The population had either deserted
the center of the city or remained
hidden in the houses, as it was inn
possible to stir on the streets without
running enormous risks. The federal
forces were reinforced last night by
the arrival Of detachments Of all arms
of the service. Meanwhile the rebels
had fortified themselves in the dis
triat, the. center Of which was the
arsenal, which fell into their hands
lately
The rebels, however, had not in
creased in numbers and the size Of the
army under the command Of Diaz is
believed to be only little over $500
Most Of the federal troops who arrived
in the might were those commanded
by General Angeles, which he had call
ed from Cuernavaca. The total OF
these is said to be 1900 and they
brought with them two pieces of heavy
artillery with much ammunition and
stores.
Lieutenant Colonel Barron, who
has conducted dashing campaigns dur
ing the revolution in Michoacan an Il
Guanaiuato, arrived with a small force
while Colonel ocaranza, another young
officer with a reputation for DrilliarI
work, came in at the head Of 2od
federal troops from Vera Cruz.
Fighting was begun at ocloa
this morning by a federal battery Of
artillery A general attack on the
rebel positions was expected to start
Immediately
General Huerta placed In command
Of the federal artillery Lieutenant Col.
onel Rubio Navarrette, who has the
reputation Of being the most capable
artillerist in the Mexican army. He
gained fame in the campaign against
orozco when he was under General
Huerta's command.
It was difficult to see how the reb
els could long resist the FIRE poured
in by the federals, but they again
showed the same excellent marksman-
ship which characterized the previous
fighting and this enabled them to OF
fer a grim resistance.

Dover Sent Cake to centenarIan.


A birthday cake went out from
Dover over parcel post last week to
David Briggs of Portland, New York,
celebrating his Tooth birthday. II
was one of the most notable celebra-
tiOns in years as the centenarian was
able to receive his guests and describe
everything that happend when Briggs
family went into New York State and
blazed the way through forests Of
deer and an occasional bear cave.
The Dover gift came from his step
son. Gardner P. Thompson. The cake
cost twenty-five cents by parcel post
and this led the recipient to remark
that when he was a boy they sent let
ters at twenty-five cents each, paying
the quarter on delivery. Quarters
were so scarce that il was necessary

of the fish were saved and loaded into
cars for the northern markets. On
Tuesday 5 carloads were shipped from

Wilmington has become one Of the

the town maintains one Of the finest

Of the large cities. Not only are
some of the best artists in the coun-

students have entered the colony to
pursue a course under leaders of the

returned from a long trip through the
