 Mutiny in The Ranks.
 But there had been a desperate and significant mutiny in his ranks. A detachment of the twentieth infantry stationed between the two strong holds turned on it's officers about noon, killed ten of them and then made dash for the Diaz lines, throw ing away their guns in a sign to the rebels that they were friendly. The mutineers were intercepted by local cavalry and 40 of them taken as pris oners to the palace.
 Another American woman was add ed to the list of dead today. She was Mrs. Gertrude Greenfield, moth CT of Harry Greenfield, an employa of the Mexican Light and Power Com pany. She was killed by shell while attempting to cross Victoria street.
 In the streets today could be seen in the lull of the firing steady pro- sessions of men, women and children, some bearing mattresses and tents; some carrying the sick upon their shoulders; the menace of pestilence from the dead bodies of men and horses grows. A burning sun beats down upon the bodies. The condi tions are indescribable.
 Many of the refugees have found shelter in churches and cODvents. It is not certain shelter. Five nuns and several other women were killed this morning as they knelt in prayer for peace in one of the convents. The shell went through the heavy wall and burst among the group of wor- shippers.
 Wilson Controlling Figure.
 Ambassador Wilson is practically ure in the movement of foreigners against the further destruction of life and property. To him Madero sent a message today asking that the en- bassy, which houses scores of refugees be removed to some other part of the city so that cannon could be placed at it's doors to lombard the arsenal. Wilson refused. He went on housing the Americans and other foreign re- fugees in his building and in apart ment surrounding it.
 To him Diaz sent an appeal askin@ recognition as a belligerent. q am in control of the city, the rebel lead CT said Mr. Wilson refused to recog- nize hte plea.
 Madero's residence was set on fire by shell and was practically de- stroyed during the afternoon fighting.
 Commercial conditions continue in a state of paralysis. The postoffice closed today and there is no mail de- livery. The city is in darkness throughout the night owing to the cutting of wires by the shells of the combatants.

News Received at Washington.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The effect Of the resignation of President Madero's
 on official Washington was to cause la silence at the White House and among the members of the diplomats even more intense than that already prevailing. Others, including United States senators, who have made a study of the Mexican situation, look upon this confusing development with increased apprehension.

Banana Disease Threatens Marke

Because of the fact that the much
dreaded Panama banana disease.
which has devastated the banana plan
tations of Central America and the
island of Trinidad. has made its ap-
pearance in Jamaica, the chief source
of supply for American markets. a
shortage and even a dearth in the
market supply Of bananas. the most
common of tropical fruits, is threat
ened.
Strenuous measures are being TAX
en- to prevent it's spread. The plants
in the % infected districts have been
cut down, treated with lime, and after
exposure to the atmosphere a while
have been covered with earth. Another
mode of precaution is that the feet OF
all persons and animals that may pass
through the plantation are to be dis
infected, so that bacteria may not be
carried to adjoining properties. No ex
pense will be spared in fighting the
disease.

Humor of Artemus Ward.

Some years ago the real scream IL
exclamation was Artemus Ward. Our
fathers were wont to read the Witt
cisms of this great humorist and
laugh till the tears ran down their
cheeks. AS an example of how funny
Artemus could be when he tried, take
this extract from his letter on Jeffer-
son Davis, president Of the Confeder-
acy. alleged to have been written in
Richmond:

CHAPTER u.
The Risk and the Lady.

Two hours later, Stanton emerged
from his camp and strolled toward

O'Clock in the morning; the dark arch
of star-set sky overhead the black
emptiness of the central field except
for the line of tents. contrasted oddly
with the glistening white track where
the meteor-bright cars circled tireless-
ly to the accompanying monotone Of
many voices, varied by the occasional
vail of the official klaxon. One ma
chine was out OF the race, after going
through the fence; heap Of disor-
dered metal which men were striving
frantically to restore to activity. while

ing a kindred process Of rehabilita-
ton. Other cars went in and out
from their camps, for oil. for gaso-
lene, for tires and minor repairs-for
all the countless wants Of a racing
machine. Stanton looked for the Mer-
curry, then, satisfied, crossed the track
| and entered the space before the
grandstand.
Along the edge of the cement prom
enade were parked a row Of automo-
biles whose owners preferred to wit
ness the race from their own cars
rather than from the tiers of seats be-
hind. Past them Stanton turned,
avoiding the fire of attention and curl
osity he would draw by crossing the
lighted space where recognition must
follow. He was going to the restau-
rant in the interior of the stand.
But as he passed big white tour

The next hour passed a trife more
quietly. Perhaps even Stanton was
sufficiently tired by the strain to drive
with some conservatism; perhaps he
acknowledged mentally that no car
built would stand such viciously CRU

hours. But he kept the lead gained,
for all that. and a pace like the long
