Opera House Nevvberry, Wednesday, November II

the only English daily newspaper,
published a dispatch from Vera Cruz
stating that John Lind, the personal
representative of President Wilson,
had confirmed the reports of certain
indications being made by Washing
ton to Mexico"
Notwithstanding the necessary pro-
cautions surrounding the transmits
sion by Nelson O'shaughnessy United
States charge d'affaires, of the Wash
ington dispatch, enough has leaked out
here to fill the city with ruuors and
endless speculation today as to what
Gen. Huerta's course of action will be.
Prevented by the most impenetrable
reserve displayed at the National pal
ace, from learning more Of President
Huerta's intention regarding his an
swer to the American demands, the
Mexican people tonight are indulging
in speculation as to the final outcome.
AS sequel to Gen! Huerta's decree
yesterday making bank notes legal
tender, foreign residents and Mexi-
cans alike have been ransacking the
town for silver money, but at the
banks it was with difficulty that
change could be procured for more
than five peso notes. Business men
are alarmed, fearing there soon will
be so great shortage of metal cur
renC that it seriously will interfere
with the transaction of business.
The rate Of exchange has only
slightly increased, the banks selling
limited amounts at 29O pesos for 500
gold. Applications for large amounts
usually are refused.
So great has become the fear of
conscription that Mexicans whose
work forces them TO be out after dark
carry credentials, showing they have
steady employment. More than $4,000
among the humber classes are re-
ported to have been drafted since the
beginning of the week 1t is said not

HUERTA WILL REJECT
AMERICAS DEMANDS
Ii Congress Declares Election Invalid
President May Submit to Epres-
sion of Will of People.

Mexico City, November 6.-The pur-
poses of Gen. Huerta were voiced this
morning by a person who is close to
the provisional president. The pres
ident is determined to reject all the
demands set forth in the latest Unit
ed States communication and is re-
solved to seat the congress just elect
ed.
If congress, however, declares the
recent presidential election null and
makes arrangements for another cleo
ton. Gen. Huerta would be disposed
to abide by this dicision and submit to
the peoples choice of a man who
who would occupy the presidency un-
Ill the autumn of 1916.
There was still no indication here
today whether Huerta would make
formal reply to the communication
made to him by the United States. The
nature of the memorandum is said to
call Tor no other reply tnan COM
pliance How long Washington ex-
poets to wait for this compliance after
failing to receive verbal rejoinder is
question which is greatly interesting
the few here who are convinced of the
passage of the communication from
the United States government to the
provisional president.
Mexico City itself is still ignorant of
the nature of the new representations
made by Washington to. Gen. Huerta.
The newspapers here have printed
only denials OF the reports from the
Tni-ci S;2ses until today, when they
partially confirmed them. The Herald

BIG FIRE IN MULLINS.
Iron Works and Dwelling Are Totally
Destroyed

Mullins, Nov. 6.-At o'clock this
morning the fire alarm was given and
in a short time the people Of Mullins
responded to the call for help, for a
bad fire was raking in the western
part of town and there was every in
dication that it would spread if there
was not some quick effort made to
check it.
The plant of the Mullins Iron Works
operated by Rowell & Rowell, was de-
stroyed and the residence of Monroe
Stephens, nearby, caught fire from fly
ing embers. Both buildings were COM
pletely destroyed in very short time.
The fire started just after midnight
when the streets were deserted and
every one had gone to their homes.
The first report was given in at 12.45.
From the beginning the fire made rapid
headway. By the time the people had
gathered there was little to be done
except to try to keep the flames from
destroying other adjoining. property.
Mr.. T. w. Rowell's residence caught
fire, but was saved after persistent
efforts.
The residence of Monroe Stephens
on an adjoining lot caught and in spite
of all tnat could be done to save it
was destroyed. The roof was. ablaze
before the Stephens family were awak-
ened. A part of their household fur
nishings was saved. There was only
$500 insurance carried on this dwell
ing.
In speaking of the loss as result
of the fire, Mr.. Rowell, manager of the
iron works, stated that the last inven-
tory of the stock put the valuation be-
tween $500 and $4,000. There was
$1,000 insurance carried.
In addition to this loss there were
three automobiles in the shop for re-
pair when the fire occurred and they
were lost.
