Dripping with honeyed phrases and

signed by its author has come to The
Times through an embassy here that
surely has set the ears Of some Capital

Who the fair maid Is that provided
the inspiration for this gem of lyric
beauty has not been learned, but that
somewhere there is a heart bleeding at
the prospect Of a last farewell 10 evil

Here is the poem. Just as it was re-
ceived by The Times. Read it and
weep:
TO A WASHINGTON GIRL
CThis love letter was sent by Mexican
youth to a washington girl. whom he
worships in TRUTH.
Sweet American maid, very soon we
Keep on wonnding my breast with
loves death-dealing dart:
Listen, Nymph Of my Soul-hearken!
Queen of my Heart.
Your true joy makes me feel indescrib-
And one smile from your lips filled with
perfume is worth
More than one million smiles from all
maidens on earth.
Fairest Goddess Of Beauty, your coun-
Turns sad sorrow to gladness and night
When You dry all the tears from your
blue eyes away.
Sweet American siren ailurine and
chaste,
You possess a most tempting and vir-
ginal waist,
And your kisses much sweeter than all
sweet things taste.
Maid bewitching. more lovely than all
Only gold-genuine gold-has the tint Of
your curls.
And your teeth-ivory teeth-seem
legitimate pearls.
Can I ever forget when. half crazed
with delight,
Mute. entranced would gaze on your
eyes just as bright
AS the heavenly stars, when they
twinkle at night?
1 remember the time, I shall never con-
dole.
When the kisses Of love that my lips
from you stole
Made my heart WOO your heart, and
my soul seek your soul.
Though the years come and go / shall
never forget
When. like Romeo, I enamored my
blushing Juliet.
And my hot burning lips and your rosy
cheeks met.
All, methinks in this world there is
nothing SO sweet
As the happiness felt when four trem-
bling hands meet,
And two hearts palpitating in unison
beat.
When ] think of you. darling, my joy
1t is such
That in slumbers / dream with the
thrill of your touch.
And at once comprehend why love
you so much.
Sweet American girl. it is time we
should part
Keep on wounding my breast with
loves death-dealing dart;
Farewell, Nymph of my Soul-adieu

Sabens was under sentence to hang
June 6.
The conviction Of Andrew Gonzales.
colored, for the murder Of his wife,
Madaline Gonzales. was affirmed. Con-
zales Is under sentence to hang June l3.
One ground for reversal Of the Sabens
case was an instruction by the trial
Judge that the evidence that the de-
f,ndant was intoxicated should be
weighed with caution. The court held
that the lower court erred in instruct
ing that a verdict of murder in the first
degree should be returned even though
Sabens was intoxicated when he shot

sonable doubt that he had formed a
deliberate and premeditated design to
kill. Attorneys r. c. L. Moncure and
T. NJ Wampler represented Sabens.
The opinion of the upper court in the
Gonzales case Is that prison psychosis
is not a sufficient reason for staying
the execution Of the defendant. Gov
ernment alienists, including DR.. Charles
White. superintendent of the Govern
ment Hospital for the Insane, have tes-
tilted that Gonzales is suffering from
mental alteration from fear Inasmuch
as the trouble developed after the crime,

in 1890 in which it was held that Con-
gress could not interfere with the mails

without violating the vital principle Of
separation of religion and the state.

BARES T0PSY.TURW
MEXICAN POLITICS
Congressman From Turbulent
Land in Washington as
Agent for Rebel Leaders.

How topsy-turvy are political condi-
tions In Mexico Is suggested by the
fac: that a member of the Mexican
congress, regularly elected and entitled
today to be occupying his seat. has
come to Washington to act as one Of
the confidential agents of the Carranza
or revolutionary government which has
been proclaimed in the northern part of
the republic. He represents the ma
jority of the members Of the congress,
government Is fast developing to The
stage Of open rebellion. Huerta mas
thus far suppressed this by reason OF
his control Of the federal army.
Manuel Perez Romero Is the member
who has come here to act in behalf of
make clear that in effect the national
congress Is practically under compul-
sion. He explained today the facts
about the reported loan Of $l00. .000. 0CQ
to the Huerta government by French,
British, Dutch and American bankers.
Mr.. Romero. for the excellent reason
that the Mexican constitution requires
the express sanction of the Mexican
congress to such transaction. and that
sanction has not been given. No finan-
cial house would dream of making a
Of regularity and legality.
Cabled for Information.
THE agents here Of the constitutional
government have cabled the French
bankers. the Credit Lyonnais. and the
Bank Of Paris. and the Netherlands,
asking information. They have not
yet replied: but we also called Messrs.
Coutts & Co., of London. who have
been named as leading participants in
the loan, and they specifically reply
that they know nothing whatever OF
the matter. The American houses men
& Co. hardly would risk their prestige
by participating in a loan certain to
be repudiated. as were the unconstitu-
tional loans made by the Macmillan
government from 1858 to 1851
Mr.. Romero called attention to the
fact that the northern Carronzistas
have now cut the national railway line
between Tampioo and Mexico City. pre-
cisely as was forecast three weeks ago
they would do. This operation cuts off
City from all supplies Of fuel oil, with
out which it cannot operate.
Ties Up Huerta Force.
II know that there is only one weeks
supply Of either oil or coal on hand"
said Mr.. Romero. 'and. therefore. by
the end of that period the Huerta gov
ernment will be unable to move troops.
and supply trains. The press dispatches
from Mexico this morning despite the
censorship. admit this crushing blow
to the Hureta regime; my own advices
brought the facts to me yesterday.
General Carranza now will carry
his campaign into the interior without
delay. He has been delayed awaiting
the completion Of his artillery train.
which will be ready for service in a
fortnight. After that the Campaign
power. will be pressed directly against
the capital" --

products Of exporters who refuse their
books for examination.
