= Warfare without quarter with the
opposing armies burning and dynamit-
ing all that seemed to stand in the way
to victory. has been waged at Monte
rey, Mexico, between the defending
Federals and the besieging Constitu-
tionalists. says dispatch Of Sunday
from Laredo, Texas. Some of the un-
remitting fierceness of the struggle,
particularly in the engagements of
october % and "a. when the Constitu-
tionalists occupied large portion of
the. city, Is pictured by Seiz-Zag. an
Illustrated weekly published at Monte
rey, copies of which reached Laredo
today. Many bodies were left in the
streets until a lull in the fighting should
afford time for their burning. A view
Of Cuauhtemoc street near the Nation
al railway station where the conflict
centered, showed an entire block de-
stroyed by fire and canonading. Nu-
merous corpses are in the ruins. Gen.
Miguel, whose residence ws!s one OF the
finest in northern Mexico, was burned
to death when Constitutionalists de-
stroyed the house by fire. The north
facade Of the government palace was
shot away. The total property loss was
said to be incalculable. The railway
lines claim their damage alone will
approximate $7,000,000. In the railroad
wards 65S cars were burned. Many OF
them were loaded with merchandise.
The round house was completely de-
stroyed with more than twenty en-
gines. No estimate was given OF the
loss of life. but 1t is known to have
been heavy.
Developments in the Mexican sit
uation in Washington yesterday tend
ed to emphasize a purpose on the
part of the Washington government
to refuse to recognize any Of the acts
of the new Mexican congress and
brought to light the fact that serious
consideration was being given by
President Wilson to the question OF
permitting expectations Of arms to all
factions in the southern republic. Sec
retary Bryan had a long conference
with Senior Algara, charge d'affaires
of the Mexican embassy, during which
ii is understood, he said the United
States considered the election OF con-
gressmen as invalid as the voting for
president and vice president. The
secretary summoned the ministers
from five Central American countries
and outlined to them in general what
had been done by the United States
in its diplomatic parleys with the HUI
erta government. Later he announc-
ed that he also had been in communi-
cation with the diplomatic represen-
tives Of the European powers and
had informed them in general terms
of steps thus far taken by the United
States. It was reported that some of
these diplomats yesterday transmitted
long dispatches to their home govern
ments describing the situation as
approaching closer to the complete
break in relations between the Unit
ed States and Mexico than at any time
since the Mexican problem became
troublesome. The state department
made public Huerta's statement to
the diplomatic corps in Mexico City,
the burden Of which was that the
presidential election would be null
and void, but that the newly elected
members Of congress soon would be
installed, that the national legislature
soon would resume the legislative

fit to assume during the interim be-
tween the arrest of the deputies for
sedition and the induction Of the new
members Of congress. In view Of the
fact that the note recited in detail HUI
erta's defense of his assumption of
the deputies and gave also his pro-
gramme for the future, 1t was taken
by many diplomats as an obvious re-
ply to the American suggestion that he
eliminate himself The Mexican en-
bassy which received copy of the
note, declared in an official statement
that 1T may be assumed that the dis
patches received represent the atti-
tude Of President Huerta and indicate
the nature Of his reply to the inquiry
of the government Of the United
States regarding his purposes in view
Of the recent presidential elections
-Kiev, Russia, November 10: Men,
del Beillis, charged with the murder
Of Andrew Yushinsky as a religious
sacrifice, was acquitted by the jury to-
day. "Beilliss is not guilty, but the
murder was committed in the Saiteff
works" This was the verdict return
ed shortly after 6 o'clock tonight by
the jury after two hours deliberation.
When Beilliss was taken out Of the
prisoner TOOIl VI Tic SOull AOi lhS
last time and brought along the din
gy corridor, 1t was seen that his guard
had been increased to five soldiers.
Two officers entered the dock with
him. Beilliss was outwardly calm. The
court was crowded, but the deepest
silence followed the entry Of the pres
ident and other judges. The jury then
filed in, and the foreman advanced a
few PAGES from the box and read the
verdict. BeilliSs was standing with
his hands on the dock rails. He SEEM
ed to be in a state Of coma, but was
striving to collect his wits and COM
prehend what was being said. When
he realized the meaning Of the ver-
dict he fell back into his seat, sobbing
convulsively. His counsel approached
the dock and warmly shook hands
with him. The strictest precautions
had been taken to prevent unauthoriz-
ed persons from gaining access to the
court. The police were in force both
inside and outside the building. While
the jury was celebrating, memorial
service for the murdered boy, Yushin-
sky, was being held in st. Sophia s
cathedral, within a stones throw OF
the court The cathedral was throng-
ed with q great crowd and the bishop
delivered an address, in which he
dwelt upon the crime. He said the
authorities had made a most minute
